• SQL Server SqlBackUp() vs Volume Shadow Copy Service

  Does the SMO SqlBackup() internally use the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service or are the two different If they are not connected, which one is advisable for use in programming a backup application Good suggestion! Yes, I can do that, but I want to know how it compares with the SMO.SqlBackUp() method for taking the backup. As Glenn has mentioned, does it cause a data-loss What are the benefits/minuses of each method When SQL Server 2005 is expected to run on systems with Windows operating systems, which will have the Volume Shadow Copy Service, why has Microsoft taken the trouble to equip SQL Server 2005 with its own backup measure Surely, the two methods must stand out in some way; that's the point ...Show All

• .NET Development Trying to pass parameters to my Windows Service but how?

  hi everyone, From my Service Manager built-in in MMC no problem at all because I can perfectly allocate both parameters in "start parameters" box but how do the same from NET START command Or even better, how from another VB application I've tried to do this: NET START "MyService", "sql1","Bd1" but it did not work.

• .NET Development Security exception with a .NET control embedded in IE

  Hi I have a .NET dll Control (WinFormsControl) which has to be hosted in a HTML page for Internet Explorer. But I have found a problem when I try to view it with another computer. It throws a security exception when tries to call an extern function from OpenGL library, for example: glMatrixMode The methods I am using from OpenGL are declared with: [DllImport("opengl32.dll", EntryPoint = "glMatrixMode"), SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity, CLSCompliantAttribute(true)] public static extern void glMatrixMode(int mode); It's strange because when I run it from my computer it works (trusting the assembly with caspol), even if I upload the assembly to an external place in internet it also works (adding the p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System branching files twice to the same branch

  Hello, We are moving our source code control system from pvcs to tfs. During this process I encountered the following strange behaviour during a branch operation. I'll list the actions I performed. 1. create a directory with a file under source control : $repository/main/A/file0.txt 2. branch the 'main' folder to branch 'test', using the branch UI. This generates $repository/test/A/file0.txt 3. I then found out that I forget to add file1.txt to directory A and to branch that too. So I created $repository/main/A/file1.txt 4. I did exactly the same branch operation as in 2., i.e. branching main to test 5. The result is not that $repository/test/A/file1.txt is created as pending branch checkin, but that the entire main ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Effectively use targeting audience with the Announcements Webpart

  Dear Reader, The last 2 days i've been busy exploring and setting up Sharepoint 2007 for a corporate intranet.

• .NET Development Copy Directory ??

  Is there anything built-into .Net to allow me to easily copy a directory (and all it's subdirectories and files) from one path to another. I see there is an easy way to move it (System.IO.Directory.Move), but I don't see anything similar for copying. I know I could always write my own recursive function to loop through everything and copy it one by one, but I'm assuming (hoping) that something like this already exists. Yep, there is. In VB.NET, you'd use My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory() to recursively copy a folder. You can use that in C# too. Don't be shy, that's what the framework is all about. Here's what you do: Project + Add reference, select Microsoft.VisualBasic; add this statement in your ...Show All
