• Visual Studio Express Editions executable program(publish) and database problem?

  hi there!!! here's my problem regarding my published program... when i install my program to another computer. my program did not recognize the database/ cant find the database. i need to copy my database(where i programmed and publish(computer 1) and paste it (where i install the program (computer 2))   The database must be attached to the server.

• .NET Development Which class I should use in communication?

  Hello, I am a new user of this forum. I need some advice. In System.Net.Sockets namespace there are two class, NetworkStream and Socket Classes and in System.IO there is Stream class for using TCP/IP connection between server and clients. I have read their members, properties and events in MSDN, they are nearly the same but I wonder there are any advantages or disadvantages between them. For my program which class should I use I use TCP/IP and DNP (Distributed Network Protocol) for my application, some devices connected to LAN sends data to my application also my application can send commands to these devices. But I can not decide which class do I use. For Team member of System.Net and its sub namespaces like Mike Flasko, Amit Paka ...Show All

• Visual C++ MoveWindow for dialog has no effect when invoked by message handler

  Problem: MoveWindow function for a dialog appears to not work when called from a message handler. Details: My dialog-based application needs to work in both landscape and portrait screen modes. Not only that, but it needs to detect when the user has chosen to rotate his/her display from portrait to landscape or vice versa, and adjust itself accordingly. When in portrait mode, the dialog is 1024h x 768w. When in landscape mode, it is 768h x 1024w I added a message handler ON_WM_SHOWWINDOW, which is called when the application is first displayed. I also added a message handler WM_DISPLAYCHANGE which is called when the system detects an aspect ratio change. Both of these message handlers call a member function that does the follow ...Show All

• SQL Server JDBC driver distribution and maven 2

  Hi, I'm a Java developer and in my development process I use maven 2 so that I could deal with my project dependencies. What it allows me to do is to declare all the libraries my app is using and it would fetch the jar's from a host of public repositories (the main one is ibiblio). This repository is managed by the maven 2 project team and it contains thousands of libraries. They are very carefull on licencing issues so on the maven mailing list some people asked if the MS JDBC driver is ever going to be listed on ibiblio (and these people are your customers, so you should listen to them), so some pointed out it would be illegal due to the licence of the driver plus all the usual pointing to other drivers for sql server. What I'm asking is ...Show All

• SQL Server Orphaned SQL Logins on the Mirror

  Hi there, I’ve recently set-up database mirroring between two servers in the same domain: DMZSQL01 and DMZSQL02 with a witness of DMZSQL03. The mirroring as all gone according to plan. Set up all the users/databases on the Mirror (DMZSQL02) and then do a back-up/restore to sync the databases and then enable the mirroring, this has all gone fine and we have lots of synchronised/mirrored databases now. However, if I do a failover the logins on the mirror are not valid, they are in SQL Server and also the database but they don’t work. I’ve read through other posts and found links to this SQL Server article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992/ This has had no effect though. Do I need to remove ever ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 FTP Security Issue

  I have run into a security hole in my ftp site that has only now become a problem with IE7. The structure of my ftp directory involes several streaming media folders and a Client folder in the root directory. The contents of the client folder and its children are all password protected. Inside these folders I upload content for my clients to view approvals and allow them to upload files for my own use. The root directory has read-only permissions for everybody because of the streaming content I am hosting. In the past when a client logs into their ftp folder, the password protected nature of the client folder prevents them from moving up in the hierarchy outside of their folder. In IE7 however, I have found that a client can now leave he ...Show All

• SQL Server Y axis labels, major gridline

  I have a horizontal barchart with integer values, both positive and negative. Major gridlines are shown and I have not specified the interval or the label format.
