• SQL Server Database not in view in new maintenance plan SQL 7 (options)

  I recently migrated my database to SQL2005 from SQL7.  It was simply a restore from a backup and was cake. But now when I go to run a new maintenance plan I do not see my database. I found that the database options are set to SQL7.  If I change it to SQL 2005 I see the database. What impact will this have on my data Surely it is NOT self explanatory. It barely says anything at all. Damn wrong side of the bed Satya SKJ wrote: That is self-explanatory and there will not be any data updates until unless the user is initiated such process. BACKUP/RESTORE wouldn't attempt such process to the data. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to pass (list of) extension filters to SetFileTypes() method from an managed application?

  I am currently working with the VistaBridge SDK sample and the implementation of the FileOpenDialog is pretty much done, except the part (and this is important for any practical usage) where we can specify the filters. I think I know why that part wasn't done... (hence this thread) The new APIs take in the filter as a struct. The method "SetFileTypes()" takes the count and a pointer ref to the structure (basically an array ). From the VistaBridge, the struct and the method call is below: [ StructLayout ( LayoutKind .Sequential, CharSet = CharSet .Auto, Pack = 4)] internal struct COMDLG_FILTERSPEC { [ MarshalAs ( UnmanagedType .LPWStr)] internal string pszName; [ Ma ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dts.Runtime errors

  When I use Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime in vb2005 previously working code starts generating errors. For example: MessageBox.Show( "Error: " & description) now generates this error: Error 1 Operator '&' is not defined for types 'String' and 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsObject'. Application.Exit() generates this error: Error 2 'Exit' is not a member of 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application'.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Any "Keyboard.SetState"-like features in XNA? A simple question for a complex problem...

  Hi to the MSDN community! I'm currently trying to implement a simple force feedback feature in a motion sensor-controlled Pong clone written using XNA Game Studio Express, but to do so I need to pass a simulated keypress to an external application I cannot modify (GlovePIE, an input emulator who only accepts keypress events). So, I'd need a method to set an unused key's state to "pressed" (while it physically isn't)... but I can't find anything like this. Could somebody please help me Thanks in advance :) Thanks a lot, I actually want to use a wiimote in my XNA project (and - thanks to GlovePIE - I managed to do everything except the rumble feature, who needed a feedback triggered by the game itself on col ...Show All
