• SQL Server Reason to back up Database master Key?

  I can backup this key using something like: BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c:\TestEncryptionMasterKey.key' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '23' but why would I need to do it as the DBMK is stored in the databases itself ( in sys.symmetric_keys) and we dump all databases nightly. Just "in case" TIA, barkingdog Yes, we recommend you do this as a recovery measure. If you have a backup of the database anyway, this is less important because the DBMK is also backed up anyway, but this is still good as a precaution. Especially since restoring a DBMK file is a lot less expensive (in terms of server downtime) than restoring a full database backup. Sung ...Show All

• .NET Development Clustered SQL Server 2005 and ADO.NET

  We are considering setting up a SQL Server 2005 cluster. Is there a developers guide to writting applications for this environment What can we expect out of the box(s) Should we be writting additional code in our dataccess components to detect and handle when failover occurs Any advice most welcome. Thanks. BenW IMO there is no need to check for failover as a failover event should be very rare. Second what are the odds a single user will be accessing the server and running a transaction at the exact second of failover Slim. You could notify the user of the error and ask them to try it again, but again errors should be rare and if the user has to call the helpdesk because of the error, that ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change the Text Size of the WebBrowser control?

  I would like to change the Text Size of the WebBrowser control (.NET 2.0). The control doesn't provide the function itself. I have found information that it has to be done like this: ((UnsafeNativeMethods.IWebBrowser2)webBrowser.ActiveXInstance).ExecWB(19, 2, 0); The problem is that UnsafeNativeMethods is a static class of the Windows.Forms.dll assembly. Thus I am not able to cast the object to the correct Interface. How can I extend the WebBrowser control to support the changing of the browser text size Hi, Please have a look at this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/304103 Hope this can help you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TeamSuite including Database Professional

• Visual C# Position of selected cell

  How do i find the position ( not the index of row and cloumn)of selected cell in a dataviewgrid I need it to place a control over the grid. Thanks. Regards Alu According to whether you want the display area or the client area you use one of the following: 1. For the display area of the currently selected cell: Rectangle rec = grd.GetCellDisplayRectangle(grd.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex, grd.CurrentCell.RowIndex, false); the last argument, when true, returns only the displayed portion of the cell, when false, returns the whole cell. 2. For content (client) area of the cell: Rectangle rec = grd.CurrentCell.ContentBounds; In boh cases, you have a rectangle with the position and size of the area you want! ...Show All

  Is it true that the Generic SortedDictionary does not use hashing (like Generic Dictionary does), but instead uses vanilla comparisons of keys (i.e. binary search, logn time complexity) I ask, because a compatriot insists that both generic containers (Dictionary, SortedDictionary) use hashing.  I think he is mistaken. hi, Both are implemented in the System.Collections.Generic .

• Visual C# DLL and Namespace question

  I am trying to publish a (my very first) dll for one of my C# applications and am a bit confused about the need for my customers to include MY namespace in their applications. Specifically, when I developed my dll (project output = class library) I generated a namespace called "mynamespace". So, when one of my customers uses my dll, would the customer need to rename his namespace "mynamespace" to access the methods in the dll I ask this because I have tried creating a test project that includes my.dll in its references folder. However, unless I change my test.cs program's namepace to "mynamespace" I cannot access the methods inside the dll. I have also tried "using mynamespace" but cannot access the dll.
