• Visual Basic what the different between VB2005 express edition and .net?

  Hi, I didn't understand what the meaning of .net I saw that there is visual studio 2003 .net but I didn't saw visual studio 2005 .net So vb 2005 pro or express is .net too If someone can explain to me I be glad Regards, yaniv pinhas In shot .NET is a set of technologies that enable different applications and platforms to more seamlessly communicate and exchange data between them... rather than me writing a small book here to describe it in more detail I’d suggest taking a look at some of these articles online for more info to get you up to speed on the generalities of what .NET is: Basics of .NET Microsoft.NET .NET Frequently Asked Questions As ...Show All

• SQL Server error 18456 when trying to connect to 2005 using odbc

  Hi all I am using Windows XP SP2 with a Sql server 2005 Express installation. I created a test db with a user called test, schema also test. I gave the permission connect, db_datareader and db_datawriter. I can now connect into this user using WinSQL. But if I want to connect using a application which is using ODBC, then I get the error: [SQLSTATE=28000 - [Microsoft][SQL Native][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'test'.[Native Error=18456]] Because I connect using ODBC, I think there must be the problem. But I have to connect with ODBC. There is no other possibility. any ideas Regards, Waff I found this out: The server collation is defined to: Latin1_General_CI_AS If I create a new login id in lowercase, then ODBC w ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ 2005 redistributable

  Hi, I'm trying to get an MFC application compiled with VC++ 2005 to run on a machine with VC++ 2005 express. There seems to be a problem with the manifest (which I don't fully understand despite reading the info on msdn). The original error in the event log when I tried to run it said Microsoft.VC80.CRT not installed so I installed the platform SDK and also copied over the atlmfc directory from the development to target machine. I also downloaded the VC++ 2005 redistributable and installed it. When I installed it, I didn't get any confirmation that the installation was successful, the installer appears to quit after displaying the progress bar. Is this the correct behaviour Now I no longer get any messages in the event log but when I try ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual C++ 2005 (C++/CLI) - Newbie with ADO

  Hi, I've been working for about 20 years now with databases on other platforms but am at my first step with ADO. I created an application which is drawing as requested different forms on screen using GDI+, eventually DirectX. Now I'm at the stage of saving several infos into a Database. For simplicity, I would like to use a database for which there is no need to install any other components. I thought of using Access Database but I realized that I'm unable to create it except from Microsoft Access which is not installed on my machine...

  I have this code that creates a model at the position of the mouse click but the model never shows up at that position. Maybe someone out there knows why the models seem to be offset.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Overview for Executives

  An executive at my company expressed interest in WPF to me, but is not quite clear on what it provides over and above other UI platforms. If he knew what it is and can do, it would be easier for him to "sell WPF" to clients (i.e. provide me with the opportunity to work with WPF on the job!). Does anyone know of a good overview with images and/or videos which would help someone in that position gain a high-level appreciation for what WPF is all about I've looked around, but most of the things I've seen get too geeky and stray away from ways to justify including WPF in a new application's technology stack.

• Visual Studio Configure Sandcastle to use local MSDN Documentation

  Hi, will it be possible in the future to configure sandcastle to use the locally installed msdn library (for HxS help files) Our developmentmachines do not have internet access. thanks ralf Amy, The "Index" links between different Help2 (HxS) projects seem to work Ok (they have worked for a while now, I don't remember which CTP). I build multiple Help2 projects with cross references and these work, as well as the references to local MSDN. I never use the "msdn" option (for internet links to MSDN) since I want my help to be able to work on an un-networked machine. However, I also build Help1 (compiled help... *.chm files).

• Windows Forms How do I animate a button click from code?

  This code preforms the button2 operation with button2.PerformClick(), but the user has no indication that button 2 has been clicked.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Soap Header in WCF

  How to use Soap Headers in WCF The samples using MessageContractAttribute doesn't help to solve this. Thanks, Sangeetha Two main ways. Contractually specified headers are done using the MessageHeaderAttribute for a MessageContractAttribute-created service. Headers not part of the contract can be added to the headers properties of the OperationContext on either side. Outbound headers need to have a new OperationContextScope created in order to set the headers. Does this answer your question Note that this model is different than the ASMX one. There is no attribute that you put on top of an operation to specify adding a specific header with a default value. Instead, if you care about h ...Show All
