• .NET Development How to request Primary Keys from OLE DB Table

• .NET Development URGENT Assembly.LoadFrom(http) == "Could not load file or assembly 'X' ... or one of its dependencies."

  [Runtime Version v2.0.50727] Question regarding Assembly.LoadFrom(http). This really is URGENT; thank you for your time. Hello, I have three projects: X, Y and Z. Project X is a class library-type project full of user controls that other developers monkey with; these controls obey a set interfaces we have defined in project Z. Project Y is a winforms-type project. It does not contain a reference to Project X, but it does contain a reference to project Z - just like project X does. Project Y loads Project X dynamically from a HTTP using the following code: /// * start sample string _Url; _Url = " http://localhost/projects/ProjectX.dll "; System.Reflection.Assembly _ProjectX; _ProjectX = System. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLMobile replication to SQL Server 05 64bit

  I am looking at buying a new database server to run SQL Server 2005. I want to get 64 bit server, windows standard 64 and SQL Server 64. I already have an app I created that uses SQLMobile on a Windows Mobile 5.0 device. Will I be able to run this app if I move to the 64 bit or am I better off just staying 32 bit Hi, Same as the need of one of our client, SQL Server 2005 is running on a 64 bit server and IIS is running on a 32 bit server. It works like a charm knowing we have between 120.000 and 160.000 records for each PDA using merge replication... The only problem we encountered and solve quite easily was an "invalid parameter" on IIS side, the application pool was resetting conne ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Developing solely on the XBox 360

  What major disadvantages are there in developing only on an XBox 360 My laptop here is not exactly a top-of-the-line gaming machine, which means that I can't run XNA games on it (no shaders). One option would be to just get a new PC, but for a student that's not exactly cheap, and I might not want to get a new one anyways before Vista comes out. One thing I heard might be a problem is profiling my code. I understand the only thing for profiling on the 360 is the GC profiler, which might not be quite enough. Will the situation get better in the future Should I just get a new PC or would the 360 be a good inexpensive solution for game development Yes, you must be signed-in to Live the entire time that you a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Menu checkstate and radiocheck

  Hello, I am adding a menu with 2 language option: English French and want user to be able to check only one. In Visual Basic .NET is was easy and I could see the Menu property and then Select both English and French menu item and then RadioCheck was selected. Where is the RadioCheck in Visual Studio 2005 Thanks If you are using a MenuStrip for this you will have to implement your own RadioCheck like functionality… by creating a class that inherits from ToolStripMenuItem, ToolStripButton or ToolStripControlHost. If on the other hand you are using a standard MainMenu that contains MenuItems, you will find your RadioCheck property as part of the MenuItem class. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Building a web form programmatically

  I am fairly new to the extensibility realm. I think it is a great tool but I have run into some issues. I am working on an add-in that will generate a basic application based on a database. Currently, the tool has no problem generating the necessary classes and thanks to some of the posts on this forum I have figured out how to add the code to App_Code folder correctly. The problem that I am trying to solve is to create the web form programmatically and then populate it with controls. I can dynamically generate the web form but I can not figure out how to add controls to the page. I would like to have the application write much of the codebehind logic to tie to the classes that the system generates also but until I can figure out the ...Show All

Any Suggestions Thanks Jeff how do you mean you cannot enter the textbox where are the key events created in on the main form on the control itself are you doing something to prevent it from accessing the control in code ...Show All

• SQL Server uninstalling sql server express

The client service reference code seems to "know" that this parameter is optional but it does not seem to "know" about the default value.
