• SQL Server Unable to install MS07-004

  Im getting the error message "The version of Internet Explorer you have installed does not match the update you are trying to install." For MS07-004 KB929969, ive gotten it on several servers running Win Server 2003 SP1. Ive done all patches up to this point Hello there, This forum might not be the right one to discuss about the installation as the update you are trying to install is a Windows security update and not SQL related. Please refer to the section of FAQ in this link. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-004.mspx Thanks ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Setting a Clipping region

  I need to make a clipping region like the mini-map on need for speed. What I plan on doing is this. Draw the map on a texture, then creat a clipping region and just show whats in the map circle, clipping off whats on the outside. Does anyone know how to do this or links to achieve this Thanks, Nick nick5454 wrote: Is there any plan to simply this at all It seems overly complicated to do something so simple. Yes and no. No because there is no simple way to say "Render this here in this shape" in XNA/C#/DirectX. You have to build that functionality, or grab someone else's component that does. Yes it is easy because you could just render a RenderTar ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Record repositioning

  >>The problem is I can go into the exact same record that the user reports the problem on, do the exact same sequence of keystrokes, and the problem doesn't occur. Well, the one thing you can be sure of, it isn't happening spontaneously! There must be some item of code that is being triggered by a condition that arises on your user's machine and not on yours. Could an environment setting be different Or maybe they have some bad data that is causing your error handler to fire and do something. I hate these sort of problems - there are so many possibilities - good luck with it. ...Show All

• .NET Development FTP using IP Address

  I am trying to connect to my FTP server with the FtpWebRequest class using the IP Address of the server. From the command line, if I type "FTP 192.168.177.119" then I connect to the server fine. If I try to make this any more complicated, e.g. "FTP FTP://192.168.177.119" then I get an Unknown host message. When I try to create an FtpWebRequest object using the following code, I get an error about "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined".

• SQL Server MSDE 2000 Set-up: Invalid instance name

  Thanks in advance. I installed SQL 2000 Client Portion in my local computer: No server functionality. I selected my computer name as an instance name. Installation went OK. Now, I am trying to install MSDE in my computer. Error comes in early part of installation: It says, "The instance name specified is not valid" Please, any advise and suggestion. Yes, presumably MSDE tries to use the same instance name already in use by SQL 2005. Why would you want both versions on one machine Well, you can do it, but check the MSDE readme how to configure a different instance name. In the connection string you will use servername\instancename to access the named instance. -- S ...Show All

• SQL Server User without login purpose

  HI, we have a database that has a user created without login. I was wondering why using a user without login Is there a reason for this Can we use this user and how since it is not mapped to any login Thank you, Ccote This is an orphaned user. You get these user if you restore a database to a server without creating / mapping a user on server level to the database users. These users are not usable unless you map a server login to the user.

• Software Development for Windows Vista how to restart workflow runtime after IIS restart

  My question is for workflow exposed as web service through webserviceinputactivty/webserviceoutputactivity. My impression is that workflow runtime is only started after the first web service call. My test workflow has 3 activities: webserviceinput, webserviceoutput, delay. SqlPersistence service is enabled. The workflow is activitied through a web call. When executing the delay activity, it's persisted to the database. Then I shut down the web server (ASP .NET development server). When the web server restarted, the timer already expired but the workflow was not resumed. Only after I made another call to the web service, the timer fired. I did an experiment in a winform application. When the application starts next time, the timer fir ...Show All

• Visual C++ C1091 string too long, getting around it

  Is there an easy way to get around the limit of 65535 bytes for a string I'm moving my code to Visual C++, but I don't want to make unnecessary changes to it. Is there a compiler switch to change the limit Why not No, but you can break the string up into chunks and manage it somehow during runtime (either by concatentating or just keeping the array of chunks as is.) Or you can place the string in a resource and use LoadResource on it. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development C# and VB Design View won't load

  I'm using C# to develop an application for an ARM handheld that uses PocketPC 2003. Part of the time I work on an XP machine at home, and part of the time on a Win2K machine at work. The application runs under the .NET Compact Framework 2.0. It includes a Windows form, which looks fine on the XP machine and deploys properly to the handheld. However, when I tried to open the project's design view under Visual Studio 2005 Professional on the W2K machine at work, I received an error message stating that an input string was improperly formatted and the form did not load. I found a reference to what appeared to be an identical error in the Knowledge Base . However, the error persisted even after I downloaded and installed the hotfix develope ...Show All

  the .Query method doesn't seem to abey the normal rules for NULL values. If I specify an attribute as NULL using the sql:variable function the NULL is treated as an empty string.

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot add solution to source control

  Hi, I am trying to add my solution to source control but am repeatedly getting this error: The project F:\***\Folder\MySolution.sln cannot be added to source control. In folder F:\***\Folder, it overlaps a project that is already bound to source control at a lower root. To avoid this problem, add the project from a location below the binding root of the other source controlled projects in the solution. I have no idea what it is trying to tell me or how to get around it. Googling only turned up one potential answer ( http://dotnet.org.za/willy/archive/2006/04/11/51463.aspx ) which I also don't understand because this is the first time I've used team explorer.

• Windows Forms acceptbutton -doesn't work when I am in a datagrid

  I have a windows form, where I tab through text boxes... If I am on a text box and hit Enter, the button that the accept button is set for, will work and execute the script. But , when I get to the datagrid, I force the grid to keep the number of rows that are present, and I can tab to each cell ,but I can't tab out of the datagrid. Maybe that is a problem... I tried to do a focus , but didn't work. In either case, the enter key doesn't execute the button script once I enter this grid Does anyone know why this behavior is going on thanks HI, I suggest handling the form's Keyup instead of the grid. Coz in his case, all other controls should also respond to the EnterKey. Remember to s ...Show All
