• Gurpreet Singh Gill Adding an sql connection to vb express

  Hi, I was using sql express with vb express edition. Everything was fine. I removed sql express and installed sql server 2005. Now when try to add a connection from database explorer I get an error: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) I checked it was allowing for remote connections. I also checked in advanced tab of add connection ./MSSQLSERVER instead of ./SQLEXPRESS but i still get this error. But I'm not sure if it saves that options because when I rec ...Show All

• Brannon TFS 54000 Error Data-tier clock time rolled forward. Fix it

  We had a problem of this sort. and when chatted with Mr Gregg Boer of microsoft had given me the possible reasons and probable solution to this. This reply could be of help to some who suffered this error. Following is the Reply from Mr Gregg Here is another response: There’s two possible problems here – it’s not clear from this which. Do they have users from multiple timezones “ahead” of the server, and they’re having problems We should handle timezone differences with no problems. Are the server and clients timezones set correctly This is the most common cause of this error – the server’s on the east coast, for example, but is set to the Pacific time zone, and someone manually adjusted the clock to lo ...Show All

• mosoccer PendDelete usage and differences between item and extendedItem

  Hi all, I have used the following code to delete some files and some folders from my workspace. _W.PendDelete(PhisicalPath); PendingChange [] pc = _W.GetPendingChanges(PhisicalPath); _W.CheckIn(pc, “...” ); Where _W is the workspace. For the folders everything worked perfectly. For the files what happened is that in the Team Explorer the files are still there. Now if I do VersionControlServer.GetItems(ei.SourceServerItem, RecursionType .None); I don’t get anything. Instead if I enumerate the ExtendedItems the files are there. I have two questions: First of all what is happening What is the difference between an item and an extendedItem Second: How would I delete t ...Show All

• chrisryp save bmp to clipboard as png

  I have a form that makes a bmp. I use this Clipboard.SetImage(mBmpDest) to save it to clipboard then paste it to a word etc doc. However am finding bmp file size is to big. Was wondering how to convert it to a png. No examples on forums. I tried using imageformat, convert but no go. any ideas The extentions you are quoting(.bmp,.jpeg, etc.) are file formats on the hard drive. There is only one bitmap in memory and the only way to change the size is to make the image smaller. Each pixel in the image is transfered to the clipboard. You can't combine them in any way. hmm receiving end. is there a way for an image created in vs 2005 / .net and placed o ...Show All

• ytse Substitute for VB's 'Module', in C#?

  Is there something thats similar to a module in VB, in C# Because I want my variables to be used widely, so I can use isclicked=true , instead of frmwhatever.isclicked=true   I'm using C# 2005 Express k, thanks, I see your a vb fanatic hehe C# is only a 'standard' because some people (probably those who know no better...) have said "Make it so" as neither C# nor its evil twin, JAVA, are anywhere near as mature of a language as BASIC or even Visual BASIC. For instance, even this method of mimicking a VB "module" is incomplete. One thing that I find valuable in VB is to declare a public string that's value is assigned from the app.c ...Show All

• HSBF Lewe How to detect when wave file has finished playing?

  I had to use the kernel call sndplaysound rather than any of the newer audio players because my vb.net program must handle both PCM and non-PCM wave files. If I choose to invoke sndplaysound so that control returns to my program immediately, is there a way to detect when the wave file has finished playing The reason that I ask is that I am locking the keyboard during play, but I want to have a mouse click be able to stop the play. Thanks in advance, Ron in Rochester A clumsy workaround I can think of: call sndPlaySound() periodically with a very small .wav with just few milliseconds of silence and the SND_NOSTOP flag set. If you get a TRUE return, you know the original .wav is done playing... Th ...Show All

• nullity How to copy changed files only

  I work on a very large public website. Before Team Foundation server, we had a build process in place that would run a build and then copy changed files, remove deleted files, etc out to the QA server. I dont see anyway to do this with Team Build. Whenever Team Build gets the source for a build from Team Source Control, the file Date/Time is the date that the file was retrieved from source control. So If I deploy(copy) the site to QA, every file is replaced on the QA server. This is bad but not as bad as the problem I run into when I have to replace files on Production. We are talking about a huge public site here. I cant just replace every single file. I only need to move files over that have been modified. Is there anyway to have team ...Show All
