• SQL Server Sql 2000 setup and configuration

  I am in charge of redoing a SQL 2000 box and was wondering what would be the best setup configuration Should it be setup like an Exchange server, where the log files are on one drive the database files another, and the OS another I have looked for some kind of documentation thought I had found one but can't find it again. Thanks in advance for your help. In my experience, you are best to keep the database on the same disk (as well as logs). The reason is for performance, reliability and stability. if you choose to store the database on a network drive - performance and reliability will be a factor which will have an impact. I hope it helps/gives you a starting point :-) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can I unsign a ClickOnce manifest

  Without breaking the projects and having to reinstall the app. David, My certificate (VS test certificate) will expire soon and I am too looking to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling the application. When I update an application I simply replace a new *.exe for the old one. Will this cause the application to not run and do I have to create a new test certificate and re-install the whole application Will the application stop running after the certificate expires even if I don't do an update Thanks, Jerry ...Show All

• Visual C++ CEdit Pagedown scroll problem

  I've got a CEdit that is displaying a string of data that is going off the page. I do not want the edit to scroll when I press the page down button. I just want the CEdit to display my text and chop off the bottom of the text. Do I need to write my own CEdit I am handling VK_NEXT. The problem is that the CEdit is scrolling the window down to see the rest of the data in the window. I don't want this behaviour. I'd rather not have to parse the string before outputing the text. I'd like this application to run as fast as possible. I'm porting from a mac to a pc, so I'd like the pc to out perform the mac!!!!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help! What Is An Interface?

  I have been thinking about this for 2 days now..and still cant find any satisfactory answers. Anyways..... I know that an interface contains only the Signature/Defination of a Method but not its Implementation. eg. Interface IFace { Void someMethod(); } class SomeClass : IFace { void method() { //Method Defination } So Is this right What I could understand from all the Books that I have read is that By using Interface we have to Implement the Method. but this Code works too. class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { Hashtable ht= new Hashtable (); IDictionaryEnumerator Ide = ht.GetEnumerator(); while (Ide.MoveNext()) { //Some Method } } ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) FindResource from generic.xaml returns null, how to load resource from generic.xaml

  I have custom control for which I have defined default style in generic.xaml. That works great and without any problems. I have however another style (x:Key is set to string name) defined in generic.xaml for the same control that I would like to assign to the control from code inside of the same control. FindResource(string name) is returning null. How can I load the resource from generic.xaml Like any xaml resource dictionary: ResourceDictionary resourceDictionary = new ResourceDictionary (); resourceDictionary.Source = new Uri ( @";component/themes/generic.xaml" , UriKind .Relative); Then you simply access your styles with their key using an indexer. resourceDictionary[myKey] ...Show All

• Visual C# decrement and use in one go

  I'm cutting a char out of a string so I have... str=str.Substring(0,x)+str.Substring(x+1,y-x-1); x--; y--; I thought I could combine these and decrement the second x and then use it and decrement the y after using it so I'd use... str=str.Substring(0,x)+str.Substring(x+1,y-----x); Or is this one of the C++ ideas that has not been carried into C# because it can be so hard to debug Yes that works in C# also with same logic, just with minor IDE change. IDE will argue if your statement is the one you wrote but on this one probably no: str = str.Substring(0, x) + str.Substring(x + 1, y-- - --x); Which means just split the statement with space. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) IErrorHandler and FaultException<T>

  I have a service using an IErrorHandler from which I'd like to return typed FaultExceptions. The ProvideFault implementation does something similar to the following: FaultException<GreetingFault> fe = new FaultException<GreetingFault>(new GreetingFault(error.Message)); MessageFault fault = fe.CreateMessageFault(); msg = Message.CreateMessage(version, fault, " http://microsoft.wcf.documentation/ISampleService/SampleMethodGreetingFaultFault "); The invoking operation contract is decorated with the fault contract attribute: [FaultContract(typeof(GreetingFault))] [OperationContract] void MyMethod(); The client application always receives an untyped FaultException, however, and not the FaultException ...Show All

• Visual C# are there module files in Csharp projetcs like we have in VB projects

  Thank you The closest equivalent is a static class (a class with only static members). You'll have to qualify the member calls with the class name (which you don't have to do with a VB module), but that's the only real practical difference. e.g., internal static class PseudoModule { public static void SomeMethod() { } etc. } David Anton www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com Instant C#: VB to C# converter Instant VB: C# to VB converter Instant C++: C# to C++ converter, VB to C++ converter Clear VB: Cleans up VB.NET code C# Code Metrics: Quick metrics for C# ...Show All
