• SQL Server Creating a database from script - permissions problems

  We deploy our app via ClickOnce. Rather than shipping the .mdf and .ldf, the app detects whether the database is there and creates it via script if it's not. The script was originally generated from SQL Exrpess Mangement Console, etc. In the past, we've made the stipulation that the user must have administrator access to the machine. However, we now need to find a workable solution for users who are not administrators on their machine. Currently, we use the following connection string before attempting to run the db creation script: conn.ConnectionString = "Server=.\\sqlexpress;Integrated Security = true;User Instance=false"; The script fails when trying to execute "CREATE DATABASE [myDatabaseName] ON PRIMARY " ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get the error message from Login Provider Validate() method?

  Hi, I am trying to use Login control (framework 2.0) with a custom provider for authenticating user. As the custom provider inherits abstract class MembershipProvider, it implements method ValidateUser(). The method just returns a bool and if there is any exception it goes as page error; an unhandled exception. I would like to handle this exception in Login control, but do not find any way or place where I would get this exception. Could you please tell me how do I handle this exception and have a custom message to be displayed to end user instead Thanks in advance, Maithili. Hi Rodrigo, Thanks for your time.

• SQL Server Excel Add-in for Analysis Services - What-If

  Hi *, I'm having a hard time with the Excel Add-In for Analysis Services What-If function.

• Windows Forms Printing the_whole_contents of a form.

  Might have posted this is in the wrong forum before, so I’ll give it a new shot in this part which I think is more suitable. Im new here, and there are so many different sections. :) Im using Visual Studio 2003 and is programming a visual basic-application which is based on MDI-parents and -children. The problem I have is that I want to print the whole contents of an mdi children form, but im just getting the visible part.

• Internet Explorer Development Moving Interent Explorer Toolbards

• Visual C# Interacting with an external application (process)

  Hello! I'm trying, with VS.Net 2003 and C#, to call an external command line application and retrieve the output several times during its execution (that can be long), so I can track the process and give the user an estimated time to complete. What I did: I created a process and a timer with 500ms tick. I start both at the same time and every tick I read the process' output. The problem: everytime I try to read the output using "StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()", the application freezes and only resumes when the external application is done. Using the search on this forum I found out that I had to use "Application.DoEvents()", so the application could resume the message queue, but it didn't work. So far, that's what I'm doing ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) maxReceivedMessageSize and maxStringContentLength

  I'm dealing with an issue of large messages generating quota exceeded errors. The default value for maxStringContentLength, for example, is only 8K and the maxReceivedMessageSize limit is 64K. In order for my service to function correctly, I've had to increase these values considerably. I've also tried setting each to 0 as a way of indicating there should be no limit constraint. This has not worked. I'm also observing that message size is much greater when I use wsHttpBinding versus basicHttpBinding. I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions about these issues. TIA You have to provide explicit values for max message, string, array (etc) size, and you should attempt to limit which endpoints (contracts) re ...Show All
