• Windows Forms Unistall icon on the program menu!

  I wolud like to have an uninstall.exe generated with my setup project. My plan is to make a shortcut to it from the program menu. Or exactly, a shortcut to a .vbs-file on tne program menu. The .vbs-file is shuting down a service then it deleting a database the it deleting a odbc-connection then it will start the uninstall.exe.

• Visual C# ftpwebrequest

  Hi, Why does FTPWebRequest throw an exception when you execute a GetResponse And more importantly can I turn it off. Surely I am getting the response to examine it and see what happened so I do not need and exception to tell me something was wrong as the response will contain any errors In all the examples I have seen for it no one uses a Try so I diligently went ahead and wrote code to manage using the response content; only to have exceptions throw my code out and have to reform the code and use Try to manage it. Beats me. Michael. For instance...I want to upload a file but FTPWebRequest does not provide a method of overwriting existing file automatically so as I want to give the use an opportunity to choose overwrite I sen ...Show All

• Visual C++ OpenMP vcomp.dll problem

  Hi everyone, I have just bought and installed Visual Studio 2005 Pro, and I have a problem with its OpenMP support. I have been using the Beta 2 before, and wrote code that uses OpenMP. As you might know, vcomp.dll is required when using OpenMP. The files can be found inside some redist folder of VS 2005. So I copy this file to the executable folder, and try to start the exe. I get an error which says that it tries to load vcomp.dll wrong. However, I don't control the loading myself, so I assume this is a bug. Also it worked fine with the Beta. The Beta 2 vcomp.dll does work. But it causes some hang/lockup/deadlock somewhere, which didn't happen in the Beta. Does anyone know what I should do Is it possible that they shipped a wrong DLL fi ...Show All

  We would like to limit where folks can create branches. It would be nice to have a "create branch" ACE.

• Visual C# Compiling Java code from C#.net

• SQL Server How can I programmatically tell if agents are running?

  Ideally I am looking for a procedure that I can call in T-SQL to verify that the Log Reader, Snapshot, and Sql Agents are all up and running on a given server. I found the undocumented sp_MSrepl_distributionagentstatussummary proc and got it to work for the distribution agent. I also found sp_MSrepl_agentstatusummary, but I've yet to get this to work. Overall, I'd really like to have a better way to do this. This absolutely must be something callable from the sqlcmd interface. It can not be through a UI nor anthing more complicated than standard T-SQL. Any suggestions Books Online explains each column for each table, as well as the various values for column runstatus.
