• SQL Server OPENROWSET Excel import failing on production machine

  Hi all. I have some sql like SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);DBQ=C:\aaa.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') Which works perfectly on our development machines (Windows 2003, SQL Server 2005 SP1).

• Visual Basic using mmc object with basic to manipulate fsmgmt

  hi, im trying to write a program that will open mmc, load fsmgmt (file server management), search all of the open files (local) listed for any instance of a specific file and close it. i have a script that will open mmc and load fsmgmt.msc, but i do not know what to do now. im running server 2003, mmc 2.0 and am scripting with visual basic 2005. i am not really good with basic, and am unfamiliar with the MMC object and how to use it. any help would be appreciated, thanks wraithzshadow Firstly it may be a terminology thing but you say you have a script to do this.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. TorqueXNA

  I had a look at the XNA version of the Torque 2d engine and noticed that it converted 4mb worth of png files into over 60mb of xna files; Is this a Torque issue or xna as its a massive increase and would make releasing any games online a virtual impossibility. I think you missed my point. We aren't converting them to any format. We are using the default Texture processor provided with XNA. If it chooses a compressed format by default, then it has chosen a poor one. My .pngs total 6MB if stored as 32-bit uncompressed bit data. One of my images is basically 50% black and 50% transparent and would be 4MB if stored as pure 32-bit uncompressed data. The .xnb file is 4MB. That's not very compressed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ISO file for SDK

  So, I decided to burn a CD. I downloaded what was billed as an ISO image: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=E15438AC-60BE-41BD-AA14-7F1E0F19CA0D&displaylang=en First off, is that the correct latest and greatest The file that got downloaded has a type extension of .img , not .iso as I expected. My burner (Nero) does not recognize the extension. What's up with that I was able to make a CD of VC++ Express with no problem. It had a .iso type. Anyone know what I can do with the .img file   Or better yet, where I can get the .iso file I've worked around it another way. I downloaded the twenty or so .cab files and the one .exe file in the "full" download. I ran the .exe file. It coughed up so ...Show All

• Visual C# IE7 and Visual Studio

  Installed Internet Explorer 7 and after that we get the message Visual Studio Busy ..... message when doing a build. We are using XP Professional. You must be kill the process with task manager after that. We tried various things, but after going back to a restore point that was the one before we installed IE7 the message has not shown up again.   Any ideas on what is happening with this message   could have been bad installation perhaps. I've not had this happen on my XP and WS2003 box, and both were using from the early beta's right up until the final release without any problems. Once restored, try installing IE7 again and make sure you disable your AV software just in ca ...Show All
