• Visual Studio Express Editions FindWindow API in VB2005 Express..??

  Hi All, This is my 1st post here. I have managed to figure out all my other problems so far, until now :) I am coming to VB2005Express from VB6...quite a jump, I know. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong in this snippet. The return value in VB2005 Express is totally 100% wrong (I am using an API SPy I wrote several years ago to check my numbers. It has always been correct). In my module, I have this: Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" ( ByVal lpClassName As String , ByVal lpWindowName As String ) As Long On My form I have a button &am ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cloth simulation through physics

• SQL Server Long duration Pre-Execute phase

  Does anyone know why SSIS sometimes just sits in the Pre-Execute phase of a data flow and does nothing It doesn't matter how elaborate the data flow is or the volume of data. It can sometimes take 80% of the task's run time. Are you able to monitor activity on the source system Perhaps the problem is there. A shot in the dark - perhaps the problem is the one documented here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/02/21/2930.aspx Just a thought!!! -Jamie ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System IP Address Change

  I've change the IP address of the application and data servers. Team Explorer / Source Control can no longer connect. Did an ipconfig /flushdns and it didn't make a difference. Any suggestions how to fit this Thanks! Where did you make the change Did you update the DNS records for your server if so it might take some tim efor the client to refresh the record because it will cache it. Disabling the adapter and then enabling will flush the cache. If you not changed the servers name then it should still work. If you changed the name of the server as well you need to run the TFSAdmin utility to update your server to reflect ...Show All

• .NET Development Adding rows to an existing disconnected datatable w/ autoinc Primary key

  I have a routine that builds a menu tree from a datatable recalled from a MySQL database.
