• SQL Server version problem

  This error message is correct. Is there a way round this problem The backup of the system database on device D:\msdb.backup cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (134218488) than this server (134217922). RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. Thanks in advance for any help. You can't take a higher version (18488-sp3) backup and try to restore it to a lower version system (17922-rtm). You have to bring your system to at least the same version as the backup or higher (sp4 is recommended) before you can restore. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Adding roles to WorkflowRoleCollection

  Hello, I'm developing a workflow with ASP.NET authentication. I have assigned some event handlers in the workflow a WorkflowRoleCollection in their Roles property. When I want to fill the WorkflowRoleCollection with the roles that can raise the event, apparently I don't do it right. The problem is that when I raise that event I get an exception saying something like "authorization error in eventhandler guardaHorari1", and by checking the exception details I've thought that the problem is that when it checks the role of the user that tries to launch the event agains the workflowrolecollection, it doesn't find it there. I fill the collection this way: public WorkflowRoleCollection rolsModificadors = new WorkflowRoleCollection(); ...Show All

• Windows Forms execute control validation

  Hello, My control has validate event handler that raises when the control looses focus. I want to be able to call this validate event handler from code (and no, I don't want to write a function). Is there a way to call this handler, or maybe cause the control to loose focuse Thanks. Because the event handler is just a function you can simply call the relevant function ala:          yourControl_Validating(null, new CancelEventArgs ()); Is this the sort of thing you are looking for Another option you might try is calling the SelectNextControl() method to have the next control on the form be selected so that yours loses focus. ...Show All
