• SQL Server New SQL 2005 instance using 2000 engine?

  Hello, I installed SQL 2005 Standard on the same server (2K3) with SQL 2000. My named instance I installed is coming up with "Version 8.00.2039" in the Server Management Studio and will not let me restore a database back-up I made on a 2005 development workstation (I'm assuming it's because it's trying to use the 2000 engine instead of the 2005). Is there a way I can force this instance to use the 2005 engine rather than the 2000 Thanks, Steve SQL 2005 will not use the 2000 engine. It sounds like your connecting to the wrong instance, try running select @@VERSION you should see something like : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corpor ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Questions regarding the Virtual Network Switch Driver

  Hello All, I am running 2 WinXP Pro computers on a seperate test network. I know the following: 1) The firewall is off on both. 2) Both computers have static IPs configured. 3) Both computers can ping each other. 4) Start a WinCE 5.0 device emulator and configure it's network settings. 5) I can ping the host WinXP from the device emulator and vice versa. 6) I can't ping from the device emulator on the first computer to the second computer. Any ideas on what I can do differently Thanks in advance for any help :) Bob Hanson The fact that you are able to establish a connection to and from the emulator tells you that the network connectivity of the emulator via the virtual switch driver is working properl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Checkin changes on behalf of another user

  I cannot seem to be able to checkin pending changes performed by another user (schan)using the tf following command: tf checkin /author:schan $/Adventureworks/TPOnline/VBProjects/test.frm /login:mchan,mchan TF keeps coming back with the following: There are no pending changes.

• Internet Explorer Development Open a new window that has no toolbars etc. when clicking a button on my own IE extension toolbar?

  I'm porting a firefox toolbar to IE and I'm having trouble with the following: Creating a new window that has no toolbar When the user click a button on my toolbar, say when viewing www.live.com, I would like to bring up a new html window that contains information about the page, and allows the user to post comments etc. The toolbars and menubar should not be visible. I've tried a couple of approaches: - overlay window using IFrames (which are pretty much useless since IE7 came out) - execScript with showModalDialog (the popup blocker prevents this!!!) - parentWindow.open on IWebBrowser2::Document (again, the popup blocker prevents this!!!) - Navigate2 of IWebBrowser2 (no control over the toolbars etc.) ...Show All

• SQL Server Naming Excel Sheets

  I have a report with multiple tables that I am rendering in Excel. Each table has a page break. The Excel output has multiple sheets as intended. However, the sheet tabs are labeled "Sheet 1", "Sheet 2" etc. I would like to put my own labels on those tabs to describe the table that is on that sheet. Is there any property I can set to do this By the way, I am running the reports as a console application in VB .NET 2005. So there may be some VB trick for doing this as well. Any idea when this feature might make it into the product One of the first questions users ask me is whether they can get meaningful names on the sheet tabs instead of the "Sheet1, Sheet2...& ...Show All

• Visual C# Random in recursive function

  Hey, This sucks, I have a recursive function that creates the random class and calls its Next method for every call. Problem: Random doesn't actally generates random numbers. My code looks like this private string getChildrenTree(string fileTitle)\ { string _return = ""; string[] children= dataAccess(fileTitle); string something = "child" + new Random().Next() if (string.Length >0) { _return ="something"; foreach(string child in children) _return = getChildrenTree(child[ i ]) } return _return; } Well, you'd need to do the same thing again - keep hold of a single instance of FastRandom and repeatedly call Next on that, i ...Show All

• .NET Development CLR profiler - StringCollection

    Hi  I have profiled one of my apps using the CLR profiler and it seems to indicate that a StringCollection was converted to an ArrayList which was in turn converted to an object array which then got converted to  strings. Why does it behave so.. Does the StringCollection use an arraylist internally Thanks Well, if performance is a concern and you don't need to add/remove strings you can use a string array. Or, if add/remove is needed and you are using .NET 2.0 then it is better to use List<string> instead of StringCollection. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to pass results of a SQL FOR XML query to an XML Task?

  How do I pass the results of a sql 'FOR XML' query to an XML Task I tried using a user variable of type string. In my Exec SQL Task on the General tab I set the ResultType to XML. Then on the Result Set tab I map it (Result 0) to my user variable (string). Then in the XML Task I use that variable as the Source. However, it fails in the Exec Sql Task with error "End tag 'CustomJob Field' does not match the start tag 'CustomJobField' It looks like some extraneous chars are getting inserted into my tags   I also tried setting the ResultType to SingleRow but that failed with error: "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::ForXmlResult" differs from the current variable type.

• Software Development for Windows Vista DefineDosDevice and Windows Explorer

  Hi all, I am attempting to use the API call DefineDosDevice (within Vista, obviously) and the call seems to work fine with the exception that my newly defined device does not show up in Windows Explorer like it does when called in Win2k or WinXP. When I enumerate the drives, it appears in the list. When I open a folder browse window to choose a save location it also shows the defined device in the list of available drives (it also allows me to format said device/drive). Is there something extra I need to do in Vista to make the newly defined device (which is defined as h:\) appear within Windows Explorer Any help would be greatly appreciated.
