Ive downloaded and installed it all sucessfully and I started to play about with WPF however, I can't get it to compile. I keep getting the error:

Error 1 Required file 'alink.dll with IAlink3' could not be found

I have done some digging around online and saw that there was a workaround  that in the image file in the wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetMSP\z86 folder there was 3 updates to install. Unfortunatley in mine there was only 2? i seem to be missing the following update

Windows6.0-kb930264-x86.msu

So i run the 2 updates and still the the error happens. Has anyone else had this issue or can some1 send me the 3rd update?

Yes I know its only a beta but would be good to play about with it. Oh I have it running on a Vista Business machine, might be of some use .

Thanks.

Thanks! I think the tool Sven said will be my best bet. Ive tried it out, im just getting some connection errors to SQL Server. I've even changed all the remote connection settings to TCP/IP and named pipes, restarted the service and still the errors. Maybe a reboot will do the job .

Ok so i've never really done ASP.NET before so i thought it would be a good start to make a ticketing system. Now I'm going to need a database to store the tickets etc and user security. My problem is that creating users and roles with the ASP.NET configuration tool puts them in a seperate database to the database that will be used store the tickets.

However, the tickets need a relationship to the user that submited it. Can someone suggest the best way to do this? E.g build the users and roles into the database that stores the tickets or is it possible to create a relationship between 2 tables in different databases? Or any other way, i did notice the provider tab in the configuration tool but it didnt really have many options.

Thanks.

The most important aspect of Channel 8 is the Student, not programming languages. We want to provide a place for technical students to call their home on the web; a place to meet and share ideas with fellow thinkers, and this means Channel 8 will be and provide, in time, many things that matter to students...



C

Ahhhh Haskell... I remeber the late nights last year trying to get Haskell to work lol with its somewhat annoying error messages ! My uni seems to be very java orientated, they did co-develop BlueJ  after all . I think we do C next year though. I guess when i get to my final year and have to do the final project thing we can use what we like as long as its suitable for the job.

Channel 8 sounds like its going to be pretty sweet. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I thik the saying goes better to regret something that you have done than to regret something you haven't done lol. Or something along them lines anyway

Hi all, Im currently wokring on a little mini browser in C# and im trying to find a way to set it as the default browser using a dialog, similar to what you see in fire fox, etc.

I would be very greatful if someone could indicate a way or maybe share some code to help. I know there is a key in the registry however, I don't know where the key is and how i change it and/or add a new one for my application. 

Thanks a lot.

I dont know why but this spoils the look and feel of vista for me, i guess it just seems its not graphically complete. They have updated all there icons and such to give it a better look, but yet when you right click on a drive in computer and you get the drive space pie chart, why cant they update the look of that to make it fit in with the feel of Vista? I know its very minor considering but if they can get really cool looking charts and stuff in Office 2007 im sure they could update the one inVista ha ha.

Its just little things like that i think need updating. But other than that RC1 is amazing its just so lightning fast, although i don't meet the specs for Aero,  i love the look of the basic theme so im pleased with that. Will take a bit of getting used to after using XP for years but its not totally different, so its not all bad.

It got to be Top Gun for me lol. Such a great film. A classic.

The way i see it is Microsoft have far more Windows users than Apple has Mac/OSX users and i don't think Apple can compete and get so many users to change over to Mac/OSX.

The "spaces" thing they showed, isn't that the same as that power toy for Windows XP where u can change desktop?

What's this then?

!f.!Contains(g)

double negation?

Wouldn't this have the same effect as when you get two negatives in maths aka make a positive? .
