• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Problems with BSM

  Hi! Now we're trying to deploy a BSM-project. There're some comments and maybe questions. First of all I want to notice bad work with localized systems. English version of BSM requests 1033-folders. But russian version of SharePoint doesn't contain this folder (only 1049). As result some pages looks incorrectly (e.g. there's a problem with css in the page filter editor). The second problem is that the page filter doesn't work with members, which contains quotes. "There is a problem rendering this control". And not long ago we found out one more problem. Members with commas lose information before comma on scorecard. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Handling Sliding Keyboard + Some ARM Assembly decoding

  Hi, Apologies in advance if this may be off topic, but i think it is an interesting and challenging issue related to WM device programming ( besides, no one has been able to assist of yet in other news group ).

(I use VC++ 2003) I'm using the BeginUpdateResource(...), UpdateResource(...) and EndUpdateResource(...) functions. It works fine when I use them on any exe file.
