• SQL Server Login failed, user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

  I set up SQL Express and Visual Studio Team System for the first time yesterday. I created a web service (on my localhost IIS) and added an MDF file to my App_Data folder. I added a table with five fields. I'm trying to connect to the database in my web service, but when my web service gets to the connection line it returns the error System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. When I add in my domain name and password to the connection string I get the error System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'redmond\danmor'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. I've queried these SQL forums, and the advice is u ...Show All

• Visual C# ManagementScope.Connect taking 20 seconds

  In the code listed below, I am attempting to do a ManagmentScope.Connect to do a WMI query on a remote machine. While this connect only takes milliseconds on most machines on others it takes up to 20 seconds. One the ones that it takes 20 seconds on I recieve the following error: ERROR: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706BA): The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA) I am OK with the failure, but I cannot have the failure taking 20 seconds to return control back. I attempted to set the ManagementScope.Options.Timeout value to 500 milliseconds but still doesn't return back control for 20 seconds. Any help would be greatly appriciated!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MathHelper - Trig methods, fast float math

  I think it would be helpful if MathHelper had a performant set of trig methods that work directly with floats, rather than having to use System.Math, which works with doubles. Also, does the x86 build of .NET Framework 2.0 optimize math on the float type using processor capabilities such as MMX or SIMD If not, this would be nice to see optimized float math functions as a feature of the MathHelper class as well. I would post this in XNA feedback, but it appears to be down at the moment. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checking if drive exist

  I got a few questions, maybe you might be able to help. I am needing to design a program that will check for a problem with another pc in my local network. We are not running a server type enviroment, but just a simple peer to peer platform. Any how on to the problem, We use one pc to act as a server, and the hard drives use a raid controller using 1(mirror). We ran into a snaffou yesterday, because no one in that building monitors thier pc's, they just use them, anyhow the raid broke and created 2 independent drives with the same shared folders, and the drive windows decided was bad wasnt the right drive, it renamed the volume and took everyone back to fridays data that resided on the drive that windows thought was bad.

• Visual Studio Custom Guidance Package - Auto enable WCF Gudiance Package?

  Greetings! When I create a WCF Software Factory Project, several projects are created. One of the projects, for example, WCFService1.DataContracts provides a right click menu that says: “Service Factory” on it. I’m creating a custom guidance package and would like to enable WCF in it to allow for similar functionality. After inspecting the resulting project from the WCF factory, I notice the following tag: <ProjectExtensions> <VisualStudio> <UserProperties IsWCFDataContractsProject="True" /> </VisualStudio> </ProjectExtensions> Adding that to my own project file in the guidance package solution does not enable this menu, any suggestions on how to gain access to WCF though ...Show All

• Visual Studio Micrsoft Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 ToolBox integration

  We have developed a Microsoft .NET Control library on .NET 1.1. We have added an installer to integrate that library into the Visual Studio 2003 ToolBox. This all works great. Now we are expanding this installer to make it possible to integrate into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Beta 2 at this point), but we cannot add the actual controls to a Tab in the ToolBox. To illustrate the problem, I have created a simple solution in Visual Studio 2003. This solution contains 2 projects: VisualStudioTest and VisualStudioTestControlLibrary. VisualStudioTest is a Windows Forms Application that can add the VisualStudioControlLibrary to Visual Studio 2003 and 2005.The Visual Studio 2003 code works. The Visual Studio 2005 code creates a tab, but does n ...Show All

• Windows Forms Handling control non-client area in the designer

  I have created a control derived from UserControl, where I am drawing a border in the non-client area. The designer for this control is derived from ControlDesigner. I have two problems when dragging/moving this control around the design surface. 1) I don't receive any WM_NCPAINT message while the control is being dragged, so my border is not painted. 2) When the mouse down to start the drag is in the non-client area, it is ignored by the designer. Is there any way to get around these problems other than re-implementing dragging in the designer or moving my border into the client area Joey, My wndproc is pretty much the same as the code already posted here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSD ...Show All
