• SQL Server Is SQL Server Express what I need????

  Hello, Someone I know told me that they thought SQL Server Express was what I am looking for. Before I get in over my head I need to know from people who use it if this is really for me. I have build my own web site using very basic HTML and CSS. Nothing fancy I am very new to this. What I want to do is have a customer able to enter their email address, once they have hit submit, I want the email address to go to a database (which I believe this software is going to help me set up ) and a document sent to them. I was thinking of a PDF attachment to an email since I have not figured out yet how to send an email that looks like a web page. I now have a customer inquiry form on my site that is sent to a perl script in my cgi bin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox Live Arcade

  Do any of you reckon that it's possible to make a game using the XNA express framework, and then get it published (by MS or otherwise). I think, looking at the standard of games on Xbox Live Arcade, that I can make a much better game than anything there.   johnnyXNA wrote: What's to stop "underground" gaming or is it "indie" gaming from having some really great titles and distribute them themselves Is that against the EULA Probably nothing, and you may be able to do this to some extent. It's just that if you want your game on the Marketplace with a MS Point pricetag you'll need to go through the whole developer process. I haven't seen MS comment on setting up a paypal website where people ca ...Show All

• SQL Server Metadata Model in SSIS 2005

  Hi *, Can anyone tell me what Metadata Model Microsoft supports with SSIS 2005 DTS in 2000 was supporting OIM but I was not able to get some information about this topic on SSIS 2005. The reason I need to know is that I wanna import some metadata from Business Objects Data Integrator into SSIS 2005 and Business Objects is supporting CWM.... I would appreciate your help! Thank you, Steve ssauerw wrote: Hi Jamie, thanks for your help. I'm really frustrated that Microsoft's information policy on this subjects is so poor... DTS supported OIM because Microsoft had a different approache in storing meta data. Correct me if I'm wrong but SQL 2000 had a central repository, right No. Not for DTS. ssauerw wrote: We ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista complexity of finding UI elements with TreeWalker or FindFirst/FindAll in HTML

  Hi, I was amazed to see that it takes plenty of time (~100-200ms) to for GetNextSibling (of TreeWalker) in HTML,so if i am going through 400 siblings it takes forever. it is also happens if i use element.FindAll.   Does anyone know what can i do to avoid this.   Thanks in advance It seems that it takes a long time just if there are many childrens. It happens with parent which is table with about 400 customcontrols There is an option that only this type of customcontrol has some provider that takes pleanty of time for GetNextSibling I will update when i have more info   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't delete orphaned version control project

  Because of a typo while merging, I've managed to create an oprhaned project in version control. It's listed in the Source Control Explorer as a project but I can't delete it, it's not listed as a team foundation project in team explorer though. I have no pending checkouts. When selecting the project in Source Control Explorer and then going to delete I get the following error: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- TF10169: Unsupported pending change attempted on team project folder $/LD.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word 2007: How to determine the paragraph ID/section ID/ font type at the current cursor location using VSTO 2005 SE

  Hi, I need to write code that will fire events when the user switches paragraphs/sections and changes the font face/changes the style etc on a Word 2007 document. Any suggestions I could imagine writing code that handles the Application.WindowSelectionChange event and tries to be clever about counting the number of paragraph marks before and after the selection change to determine which paragraph has been exited/entered by the user. Similarly for sections. But this just a quick idea - maybe it'll spark some other ideas. As for fonts, the closest you can get to that probably is to replace Word's entry points to the font UI with your own (on the ribbon and the menus). I don't know what hurdles you'd run ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I add a folder to a Team Project source control within VS2005 IDE

  If I add a solution to source control from the VS2005 IDE I get a prompt which allows me to specify create a new folder and I can add the solution in that folder. But If I want to manually add a folder, that option is disabled except for folders created using the above technique (and only if it exists on my local system.) I want to manually create a folder and manually add files to the folder. How is this done There are two conditions for buttos disabled, one is the one you already discovered, you have to download files to your workspace, and another one is if you changed the Visual Studio 2005 configuration (Tools/Options) and chosen Visual Source Safe (instead of Team Foundation Source Control), u ...Show All
