• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare Problem #5

  I am comparing a Database to a Project. One table is showing up as being different. Here is what DBPro reports as the difference: In the Database: [DefaultPerformanceEmailText] [nvarchar] ( max ) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL , In the Project: [DefaultPerformanceEmailText] [nvarchar] ( max ) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_HumanResourcesPolicy_DefaultPerformanceEmailText] DEFAULT ( '' ), When I click the 'Write Updates' button to synch my Project, DBPro says everything was successful but when I do a recompare, this same difference reappears. DBPro is not removing the constraint. Thanks - Amos. Chuck, My Specs: Dell Latit ...Show All

• SQL Server Exception thrown: database file cannot be found

  Hi, I'm developing a desktop C# app that uses SQL Everywhere as an embedded database. I generated strongly typed DataSet and use that to populate a DataGrid on my app. When the app first loads, it populates the DataGrid with a line like this: this.sTORE_INV_LNTableAdapter.Fill(this.inventoriesDataSet.STORE_INV_LN); That all works fine. Later on, after adding more data to the database (through reading a csv file), I wanted to refresh the display on the DataGrid. I used the same line of code: this.sTORE_INV_LNTableAdapter.Fill(this.inventoriesDataSet.STORE_INV_LN); however, this time, the following exception was thrown: The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File name = .\\Inventories.sdf ] ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do i implement this workflow ?

  Hi All, I am trying to make a simple workflow that has 4 parallel activities each getting input from different users (say it takes interger as it's input) and then adds the inputs (integer values). I was thinking of creating a custom activity that takes input from the user and run 4 instances of it parallely so i will get 4 different inputs and then at the end of the parallel activity i have a cusum activity that adds the 4 input. Is this the right approach. Do parallel activities end seperately and can't be merged into another activity Or if they could then in my case how do i send data from the parallel activities into the activity that does addition. Thanks, Sonali Using activity binding ...Show All

• .NET Development A big WHY?

  I'm a programmer. So Framework for .net comes out and I d/l and install it via microsoft updates. I've got a single user and have my Windows XP setup to boot me right into windows without a logon. For some reason windows updates installs a new user on my system called .NET and that's where they put this framework package. Now, everytime I boot up I have to go through this dumb logon, where I click on my own name.. mind you, it's the only user-name on the entire system.. but I still have to click on it for some stupid reason in order to log onto windows. WHY Who's the genius who figured that everyone who installs .NET needs an extra mouseclick on the system YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate that too.. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Replicator with PolicyActivity hurts my brain

  Even after some help from a kind poster I'm still not getting how to use PolicyActivity within a replicator. I created a new activity derived from SequenceActivity. I added a property to it, with the DependencyProperty gunk around it like the SimpleReplicator SDK sample shows. This all initializes fine. My problem is now I drag a PolicyActivity into my Sequence. How can rules in this PolicyActivity use my custom property on the parent Sequence Activity I've tried GetActivityByName to get the sequence, but it doesn't appear I can cast in a rule condition (or I don't know the syntax) to my derived type to be able to access the property in say, a condition. Even if I could, this would not be a great way to write rules against that property. ...Show All
