• SharePoint Products and Technologies sql express edition with WSS3.0

  I am in process of instaling WSS3.0. I need to know whether we can use sql server 2005 express edition(as it is the free one) to create sharepoint database. If yes, then what steps needs to be followed to create this database and giving the exta needed permission to database users. Regards AFAIK, the SQL Server which comes with WSS and installs in "Basic" option is not Express edition but Embedded edition. The difference is that Embedded has even less features. E.g., it has no management tools other but common osql command-line tool. So I prefer using stand-alone SQL Server Express installation and setup WSS in "Web Front-end" configuration. This way you can always use SQL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Stronger indication of solution filtering in pending changes needed

  This has caused developers at our site to either checkin too few or too many changes, as the indication wasn't strong enough as to indicate what file set was displayed in the pending changes. Right now the indication is a tiny 1 pixel line drawn around a tiny icon. Perhaps a big world icon to the right when not filtering and the solution icon when filtered. We've had so many strange cases of missing files or too many that the only thing I can figure to be at fault is human/interface error/failure. I know for a fact this has caused some of the problems, often the developer can't remember precisely so we can't track it back. I would presume this has contributed to quite a few more than I can track ba ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Permissions, Users, and Scripts Oh My!

  I reversed one of my 2000 databases into a project and deleted most of the users from the project. When I tried to deploy to a new database I got an error. The deployment script still included those users and it failed when trying to run sp_grantdbaccess. I played around with editing the script but it would rebuild it each time and recreate those statements. Looked at the VS work database created on my local instance and the users are there, Closed the project. I am currently attempting to open the project again but VS appears to have lost its brains about this project, which is sad because I have been editing the project for several hours correcting other issues that VS didn't handle well. I am crossing my fingers it will come back b ...Show All

• Visual C++ FCLOSE() very slow in appending after a certain point in debug mode in VS2005

  Hi When opening a file for append binary mode with fopen(), and using fwrite(), fclose() takes a long time after a certain number of times of doing this in a loop. To be more specific, in a loop, we open the file, append 5 doubles to the file, and close it. After iteration 203, the time to close the file takes significantly longer. You can see the output of a test program here. The 3 digit number is the iteration, and the two larger numbers are the output of QueryPerformanceCounter() before and after the fclose(), and the line of dashes is the end of the loop iteration. As you can see, the time across fclose() calls from iteration 203 to 204 jumps from 63750 to 1039035 and this jump is a) consistently at this iteration number and ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC support

  Can CE be called from an app. that makes ODBC calls Thanks. Ah, be that as it may, OLE DB and the .NET Framework providers are also industry standards. Yes, ODBC is certainly the oldest, and least flexible but granted, it's still in wide use. ODBC is supported in both OLE DB data access interafaces and .NET providers. The tiny SQLCe database is small because its support is focused on current technology. If it was more flexible in its interfaces I expect it to be larger and less useful for its intended purpose. ...Show All

  I have two text boxes and ten buttons, I want to be able to click a button and have it add text (numbers 0-9) to which ever text box has focus. Is that possible Ive tried: if ( this .uiItemNumberTextBox.Focused) { this .uiItemNumberTextBox.Text += "1"; } else if ( this .uiSecondItemNumberTextBox.Focus()) { this .uiSecondItemNumberTextBox.Text += "1"; } using both if focused and if focus () but neither seems to work.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems Compiling at Runtime only in Web Service

  Hiya I have a re-hosted designer that is capable of creating multiple workflows, which are displayed on tabs. These xoml and cs files, together with an activity assembly are compiled into a new assembly in the designer. The files are held in the standard temp directory. The file names and contents (byte[]) of all the files are saved into our database to provide automatic versioning. This all works fine, however, when I use the same code (a static helper method) in my web service it keeps locking the files in some way. This means that if it doesn't compile and I try editing my source code and re-running, the web service can't overwrite the files so I keep having to close the whole of VS, try to delete the temp files by hand, restart V ...Show All

• Visual Studio unbind

  I am using VSS 6.0 and .net 2.0 In Visual studio .net 2.0, File, Source Control, Change Source Control, I get to Change source control window. How can I change the local binding for one of the projects (i.e. one of the rows) in this window Is it just by clicking unbind I am worried that if I click unbind then i might loose the files or project in that path. Thanks Have you tried reading the help page for the Change SourceControl dialog If you want to change the bindings you should use the Browse button in the toolbar of the dialog. Unbind button removes the source control integration for that project - it doesn't delete the project files (neither locally nor in the scc database). If you unbind a pro ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Mixing rate sink and rateless sink on a tee node

  I modified the WavSinkSample and inserted a tee node so I could also add an Audio Renderer output node. When I do this, the topology starts playing just fine. But it ends as soon as the WavSink finishes writing the wave file. Is this the intended behavior I would have expected the topology to stop when all output nodes are done processing samples. I tried a bunch of workarounds: - Changing the order in which I connect the nodes. - Set MF_TOPONODE_RATELESS to 0 on the WavSink output node. - Set MF_TOPONODE_PRIMARYOUTPUT to 0 (index of the audio renderer) on the tee node. - Set MF_TOPONODE_DISCARDABLE on the tee node for all secondary node. But none of these worked. Is there any ways to accomplish when I want or is this a bug Also, I tri ...Show All
