Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Services / Interacting With Desktop??
I understand that with the new service hardening that services will run in session 0 and can no longer interact with the desktop, but this raises two questions: 1. Why is there still the checkbox "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" in the services control panel applet 2. Secondary Logon Service (It is still around...) The secondary logon service looks to still be supported (I understand that it is the back end for CreateProcessWithLogonW). A simple test of the runas command succeeded, therefore, how did the secondary logon service interact with the calling desktop to launch the application if services cannot interact with th ...Show All
Visual Studio Local help not available in VS2005 TS RC; please help.
I am having a (for me) the serious problem that the local help in VS2005 does not display any .NET content. Using VS2005 TS RC1, but the same happend before with VS2005 b2. - only Help on Help and Refactor show up in the index. - dynamic help and F1 help with standard VB code give no results - in Tools, Options, Environment, Help, I have 'try local only' - I cannot use online help, because it's way too slow for me here I suspect that somewhere in some settings or registry the URL to the integration of the VS2005 MSDN help is broken. The stand-alone MSDN library 2005 works fine using the url ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/dnmsdn2/html/msd ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System My computer is not in the same domain as Team System Server
Hi guys, I'm having a problem here. My user is not in the same domain as the Team Foundaction Server (.NET 2.0 Beta 2) is! Does this mean I can't not log in on the TFS I could have the Admin create a user on the TFS with the same username and password then mine has, but that user is then in the domain of TFS. Is there a way to set a username and a password in the Team Foundation Client I did not see any textboxes in VS.NET 2005 (in the Options panel) where I could set a different username and password. How do I connect to a TFS with a different username and password then mine (the one of the user i'm currently logged in with in Windows) I g ...Show All
SQL Server Ole DB Multi value named parameters problem.
I'm trying to use cascading report parameters using the mult-value select option. The first parameter is used as input for second parameter. The first dataset called Employee, select employeeid from humanresources.employee Using SQL Server you can use multi named parameters to create your second dataset. For example, select employeeid, loginid from humanresources.employee where employeeid in (@Employee) However, I'm sadly not using sql server. I'm trying to do the same thing using an OleDB (non SQL Server) interface which ...Show All

Windows Search Technologies Indexing Keeps Indexing and Indexing and Indexing (3 weeks straight). Google Desktop works fine
Windows desktop search has been indexing for close to 3 weeks straight. It gets up to about 400,000 files indexed with only 3 files remaining, and then it drops back down to about 360,000 with about 40,000 remaining. This happens over and over and over and over and over again and again and again and again. I installed the Google desktop search and it completed indexing in about a day and a half. I prefer to use MS desktop search, but need it to work properly. Thanks Follow up email. I believe that the problems began, when I reconfigured email support, and changed from Internet Only email to Corp ...Show All
Visual Basic Error/unexpected behavior with defining/using a custom property on a user control
I have a user control which is defined in a class called GuiSetup. On this user control are two other user controls of the class SideGuiSetup. The two controls are called LeftGuiSetup and RightGuiSetup. These are all VB6 user controls; they are not ActiveX objects but rather are defined in .ctl files that are included with the project. I need to be able to distinguish between LeftGuiSetup and RightGuiSetup when I am in GuiSetup code. In other words, when I am in a SideGuiSetup routine I need to know whether "Me" is the Left or the Right instance. In SideGuiSetup class I created an Public enum called GuiSetup ...Show All
.NET Development Create simple master page in VS2005
Okay, this seems like it should be a simple thing, but when I look at the documentation for creating a master page in an ASP.NET web app, it says to right-click on the project, select Add..New Item, and a choice for master page will be there. Problem is when I do that there are 35 different options (Class, Windows Form, Inherited Form, etc.), but no master page option. Where did it go Visual studio version 8.0.50727.42 Hi! It sounds like it's showing you the items for a WinForms project, not a web project. You should see on the list an item for Master Page on there some where. The best p ...Show All
Visual Studio Is there an issue with Int64 in Crystal Reports?
I am currently designing a Demographic Information Report that is grouped by Market, Branch, Location, and Control where the only fields in the Details section for now are: Control.Name(System.String), Control.ControlId(System.Int64), Control.MachineSn(System.String), and Control.MachineModel(System.String). When the other details for each control in a location are displayed, the information maps correctly to each control's record. However, in the case of Control.ControlID (the primary key), only a subset of the ControlIds are used and are duplicated for other controls. Since this is only happening to the Int64 fiel ...Show All
SQL Server MDX and Logarithm
I am using Analysis Services 2005 and I need to create a new measure “y”, for which I have to take the logarithm of another calculated measure "x". i.e. y= ln (x) (where x is another calculated measure within the cube). In AS 2000, there is the function LOG available, and in AS 2005, it somehow recognizes the function but it returns an error. Why is the LOG not working Is there something I am doing wrong What about LN I searched the web and was not able to find any info about this topic. Does anyone know how to do this Thanks Prefixing the function name with VBA seems to work: >> With M ...Show All
Visual Studio Providing UITypeEditor in DSL
Hi all, We created a DSL that contains several objects with some very specific properties (e.g. a reference to a property of a class in an assembly). For setting the value of a property (in debugging mode) I would like to provide a specialized UITypeEditor (e.g to load an assembly, pick a class and select one of the properties of the class). Assuming it's possible, is there some documentation about how to provide a UITypeEditor with the DSL Thanks in advance, Ronald Ronald, Here is a quick overview of how to add a custom editor. There ...Show All
