• Windows Forms AxWebbrowser.navigate not opening file with .log extension

  I am using the following code to try to open a file in an AxWebbrowser object . . . Me.logWebBrowser = New AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser() . . . logWebBrowser.Navigate("file:///C:/PolySpace.log") And I get a "The page can't be displayed error", but if I change the filename to PolySpace.log2 it opens fine. And both files exist. Anyone seen this or how to add in an extension to the axwebbrowser object. I tried it with an association to my text editor and I tried it after removing the association. I get the same results either way. I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error. ...Show All

• .NET Development Static Interfaces

  What about allowing static interfaces Regards SvenC, Here's an example of where a static interface ( or possibly an interface which includes both static and non-static methods) might be useful. Suppose that we want to create a bunch of validator objects in our domain, but we don't want to incur the costs of object creation.  Furthermore, aside from performing validation, there is really no need to keep the validators around - e.g. after calling Validate(), we are done with the objects. Consider an interface IBaseValidator, which is defined as such: public interface IBaseValidator {     static void Validate(ref o ...Show All

• .NET Development Authentication with the TCP Channel

  Hi there, I'm working with the July CTP of VS.NET and found this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/59hafwyt(en-us,vs.80).aspx Somebody out there who tried authentication with the tcp channel I have a website that talks over a tcp channel to a marshal-by-ref bussiness layer object that is hosted in a windows service. I want to impersonate my users, so that I can use role-based security in the business layer object. I would really like to use the tcp channel authentication as described here, but when I do that as described in the article (setting the server side authenticationMode to ImpersonateCallers and the client impersonationL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crytal Report Compatibilty with Windows XP.

  Hi all, If anybody provide some resolution, that is really appreciated. I am having problem with a report in  crystal report 9.0 when runnning on Windows XP. The report is running fine when I open it in Windows 2000, but in XP I am getting error message when I refresh the data.

  Hello. I have turned on rushmore level messages using sus(3054,1). I run the following from the command window: select * from ruginv where status = "ST000" ruginv does have an index tag on status.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Source Control Remote Working

  Hi, I hope I am missing the obvious, but I can't find any info on how TFS will work for remote workers. I know that it will work fine for those connected to the office network via VPN or such, but what about remote users who only have standard internet access I was under the impression that there was some kind of web access, but I can't find any details anywhere. I imagine there has to be some serious setup if this kind of external access through to a TFS server running on a corporate network so if anyone has any info, please let me know! Thanks Dan We're trying to get SSL access to FS to work right no ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding BindingList<IInventory> to a DataGridView

  Let me know what I am doing wrong (VS2005 Beta2, WinForm): I have this code to retrieve a BindingList<IInventory> and bind it to a DataGridView. The code basically instantiate a factory to return an instance of a classs that implements an IInvMasterManager interface. The manager class is then use to retrieve data from the database and returns it in a BindingList<> of a class that implements IInventory interface. The IInventory has a get/set property for a StockCode column.   private void InvList_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) {     ProviderFactory < IInvMasterManager > factory =& ...Show All

• Smart Device Development DirectShow filter registration problem (SP on Win CE 5.0)

  I'm trying to build a simple DirectShow filter DLL to run on a SmartPhone under Magneto. I cannot build the DLL using entry point _DllMainCRTStartup@12 as instructed by Microsoft documentation - getting UNRESOLVED EXTERNAL error. With no entry point set, the CoCreateInstance() call in my app to create the filter fails with 8007007E (specified module could not be found). The GUID/location is entered correctly in the registry, and if I update the filter with a newer version, the phone warns me that a component has changed and asks whether I wish to continue. Yet, even the default template calls (DLLRegisterServer, CreateInstance) are not ...Show All

  Hello, I am trying to create a macro to sort a column starting at a cell activated by the user.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Distorted texture after lost/reset device

  Hi, I'm drawing a textured mesh using DrawIndexedPrimitive, using an effect interface. After a windowed/full screen toggle the texture appears distorted. Interestingly when I draw another mesh in wireframe mode in the same render call the problem doesn't occur. Can somebody help Nico Depending on where you load the textures to, you need to release them and recreate them. Make sure that you are properly handling them. Look at the Samples in the DirectX SDK install directory and also under lost devices in the documentation. It explains clearly how you must handle a lost device and how to reset it.

  Sorry the subject is a little vague! I am issuing reports via ASP pages. I inherited this setup from my predecessor, who has a cycling "Sales Board" that calls reporting services pages from a script. All other pages do not have the light colored band across the top in which you can add parameters, click the "View Report" button etc. I have now created a new report and this band is there - can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of it for the purposes of display The parameters are fed into the report from the ASP page.

To give some program background, i am writing an update program that will convert all information from the old program's .cad(txt) files to a new MSDatabase.

• Visual Basic html form to xml document

• Visual C++ VCMAME: compiles with VC2003, fails with VC2005

  I'm trying to build the MAME source using Visual C++ 2005. I'm using the VCMAME project files from http://www.vcmame.net/ . I first built the project in Visual Studio 2003, then opened the project in VC++ 2005 and rebuilt. I only had to make a few modifications to the project, like adding _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to silence a bunch of warnings. However, one of the source files (winalloc.c) implements their own memory handling functions so that memory leaks and other bugs can be tracked and diagnosed.  This used to build properly with Visual Studio 2003, however in 2005, the compile fails at the linker stage with this... ...Show All
