• SQL Server RAPI fails on CeMountDBVol (WinMobile 5)

  My PC app uses RAPI to install files to a CEDB database on Windows Mobile devices. Works for PPC 2002, 2003 devices, ActiveSync v3.8 and 4.1 On Windows Mobile 5.0 devices with AS 4.1, RAPI fails on CeMountDBVol with an ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. What needs to be done to correct this I have read about RAPI Security policy, but this case doesn't seem to apply. I am loading RAPI DLL dynamically. ex: bResult = (*pCeMountDBVol)(pDBguid, // guid of mount     DBVolumeFullName, // full path and name of database volume     OPEN_ALWAYS)); // flags  I didn't think that there were secur ...Show All

• Visual C# Conole.WriteLine does not work.

  I have been posting pieces of this code in regards to another problem. Now when I try to execute this routine, I get an error message. During debug, however, I cannot seem to notice any error messages but there is nothing in the Console. I've made sure it is a "console application" not "windows app." Why is it that there is no output to the cmd prompt at all Another question concerns the debugger behavior. It needs a FOCUS to respond to F11 to execute commands. If I place the cursor at the console the debug stops in its tracks. Sort of weird. Are these two problems related It is a code I copied from an MSDN website with some small correc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal reports dynamic images help plz

  Hi. I'm new to Crystal reports. I'm using Crystal reports in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and MS SQL 2000. I need to create a main report with several subreports that are linked by 2 parameters. lets say parameter a and parameter b. Depending on parameter a, a picture's path is being gained with a stored procedure and then stored as blob in a table. The identity of this blob is then being given back to .net and passed back to the main report's stored procedure which also contains the picture in his select. My problem is that when I try to drag and drop the blob field on the report I'm being asked for a parameter value for the 3 parameters of ...Show All

• Visual C# Books on C# language needed.

  Hi We have bought the following books from Microsoft press: Visual C# 2005 Step by step Visual C# 2005 The language (Core reference) The step by step was easy to read, with good examples, although seems to be aimed more towards beginners. Not our level. The language, was hard to read, difficult english, with "not that good examples"(trying to be polite). Its seems to be more on the right level for us though. So my question is, is there a book that you would recommend, that would be equivalent to "The language" in depth and level. But more following Microsoft standards and conventions, like step by step ...Show All

• Visual Basic Delaying code.

  Hi guys. Quick question here. I'm looking to put a delay inside a For/Next loop to make the computer wait a designated amount of time before continuing. Rather than use a timer control, I want to keep it purely within code. I remember the good old days where you could just go DELAY 1000 and be done with it, but alas, it seems that those days are no more. If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Deriving from WhileActivity

  Hi, I would like to construct Activity similar to while and it would be really easy if I could just derive from WhileActivity, which is not possible, because it is sealed. Is there a good reason for that Second question, is there some way to see source code of WhileAtivity, so I do not have to spend hours on implementing something, which is very similar to it It would be great to have source code of it so I could make small changes of code and have it done in few minutes instead of hours spending on studying how to make my own Activity + I could learn from source code how it works.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Global RoutedCommand

  How can I have a global RoutedCommand By global I mean that no matter which Page it's Executed from, it will be recieved in all pages. Hi Jared, This may be a bit of a glib response, but have you tried using the CommandManager.RegisterClassCommandBinding method to acheive what you are looking for You could presumably use it to register a binding for your Page class, and then fire off an static event in your Page class that each instance could handle. I haven't tried it out, but it might be worth investigating... Cheers, John ...Show All
