• SQL Server SQL Express - Access Denied Error Code 5

  Hi, The install of SQL Express with advanced services on my WinXP Pro PC seemed to go fine but now I look at it and see that the actual SQL server hasn't installed. The log files says: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Log File: ...SQLSetup0003_HKM1_SQL.log Last Action: Install Finalise Error String: Failed to set registry settings for server network libraries. The action is SetShilohRoot. The error is 5 (Acces is denied) Also getting the same error for product: SQL Server Database Services. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It seems that the installer either didn't have permissions to your registry or that the registry was blocked in some way. If you're an admin when you run the program (unless yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How one can sense that there a Check in happens to something

  Hi all, I wonder about TFS source control in something as one developer check out some part in a solution project .... class .. etc. and after he done his work he checked it in ..... so how the other developers could be noted about that check in ...... as the others can know anything about that code that has been checked except that the person who checked in told them about that check in so he can get the latest version ........ so is there a solution to infrom the team about the different check ins that happened thanks The most common solution is checkin emails. An administrator can configure checkin emails to be sent to a DL, or users can subscribe to checkin events in areas of the tree they care about. There are lots of samp ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Queue Item not being processed

  I created a custom EventListener Activity that creates a queue and then subscribes to it. However, when add a queue item to the queue, it is never processed by the activity. I also have a custom Scheduler Service, so I know work is being scheduled and executed for this workflow instance. The QueueNames are correct. The workflow instance in question executes until my EventListiner activity. It then persists and unloads. After some external work is completed, an item is queued up and the workflow is reloaded and schedule for execution. It then persists and unloads without running my activity This worked in Beta 2.2 and I haven't read anything that would indicate a change to how this worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to randomly delete 1 row from a DB ?

  Hello, I'm writing a program with the help of VB 2005 Express. It is connected to a DB using SQL Express Server 2005. In my program I want to randomly delete some rows from the table. I use the VB code: Dim WhichOne As Integer = rnd() * 40 (where 40 is the amount of entries in the DB) Dim DeleteQuery As String = "DELETE * FROM Table LIMIT '" & WhichToDelete & "', '1'" Dim DeleteCommand As New SqlCommand(DeleteQuery, myConnection) DeleteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() If for example WhichOne = 17, it should execute an SQL query: DELETE * FROM Table LIMIT '17', '1' Which imo should delete the 17th entry in the table. Now I get an error on the execution of the SQL command, but what is it that I'm doing wrong ...Show All

• Visual Studio ctc compilation failure - Error 9 CMDS: Unknown subsection header

  I have a VSPackage project and I'm getting the following failure after editing the resource file Error 9 CMDS: Unknown subsection header C:\\MyProject\\Project\\CtcComponents\\PkgCmd.ctc 47 MyProject The line number 47 is at fault, but it looks good. CMDS_SECTION guidMyProjectTypePkg The usual stuff is in the PkgCmd.ctc file, no menu or toolbar additions. I think the error is not pointing me to the correct spot. the Guid does exist in the guid.h and guid.cs files. Has anyone seen this before. I cannot build my project. I have noticed that there appears to be a duplicate PkgCmd.ctc file generated by the Ctc compiler, at least when I search for the guid two occurances of the same code appear in different files (VS locates the file at ...Show All

• SQL Server Cluster Mirroring

  I've read a lot of the information about this topic in MSDN. My boss askme to understand and to let working an example application of Cluster Mirroring. The problem is that i dont understand well yet what is a Cluster and what is the main idea behind it. If someone really understand and can explain me clearly whats behind it, i will be very grateful. Thanks a lot for the help. ( Sorry for me english :( ) Ok, Basically a cluster is a two-headed monster. Chop one of it's heads off and nothing will happen, it will still carry on chasing you. In computer terms, the simplest cluster is a two-node cluster (two headed monster) , two physical computers sharing the same name and IP address. If one of the computers making up the cluster ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can PREfast for Drivers Version 8 be used in Visual Studio 2005 projects?

  Hello, I am currently using MS Visual Studio 2005, and I am aware that it does not contain PREfast with it. However, I found out that PREfast is installed in the Driver Development Kit, which can be downloaded for free. Right now, the most recent version of PREfast is in PREfast for Drivers Version 8, which is in MS Windows 2003 Server SP1 DDK. So, I'm sort of wondering if I can just download the DDK and use the installed PREfast there to perform static code analysis on my VS2005 projects. Is that possible I'm really looking forward for your reply... Regards, doyle I am not familiar with all of the changes made to the version of PREfast that ships with the DDK and how to configure that build environment to use the sta ...Show All
