.NET Development Failed to update database because the database is read-only.
I am building a Windows Forms application in VS 2005, using C# and SQL Server 2005 Express as the backend. When I try to accessd data from the db, it works with no problems. When I try to insert/update/delete, I get the following error message Failed to update database "DBNAME" because the database is read-only. I am using a connection string with the following syntax: "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=c:\PATH_TO_DB\db.mdf;Database=MyDB;Integrated Security=False;User Instance=False;User ID=USR;Password=PWD;" I have made sure that the permissions on the DB are set (in Windows) so that all users can modify. The user that is logging in to the DB has status set to DBOWNER. I have seen others experience the same problem - with ASP.ne ...Show All
SQL Server Report Model Wizard
I created a data soure view that has tables from two data sources (both sql databases). when I try to generate a report model using this data source view, I get an "invalid object name" error for the first table it encounters that is not from the "primary" data source for the view. Is there something I need to do so the report model retrieves the connection strings for both data sources Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! I actually have both cases ... But I can't even get the view to work for two databases on the same server .. can you shed some light on that scenario ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office The value of the 'PublicKey' attribute in 'Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Redistributable' does not match

Visual Studio Team System Compatibility between VS Professional Edition and Team Edition
I would like to know if a solution built on a machine with Professional Edition can be opened on another machine with Team Edition. I am getting the following error: " The Project type is not supported by this installation" Thanks Right, this indicates that at least one answer on this forum was incorrect. (Thread VSTS for DB - SP1 & AGILE ). Obviously, SP1 MUST BE INSTALLED on the RTM of VSTE DB Professional. On boxes where the ASP Web Application Project was previously installed (was a patch available from the ASP Team for all versions of VS), the WAP patch MUST be uninstalled prior to the installation of SP1.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating/Destroying an object.
So, I was working on a new update to my game, when I realized that I have no idea how to create or destroy an object outside of the beggining of the game. I've been looking through tutorials, but so far I haven't found anything useful. Can anyone tell me how to do this, or link me to a tutorial on the subject I'd be most grateful. :D Forcing a GC collect is almost always a bad idea. The GC is very highly tuned and knows a lot more about the memory allocation situation than you ever can, so trying to override the default behavior (except in a few very specialized situations) will generally tend to make things slower. ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do you draw text?
Since the XNA documentation is lousy, I'm gonna ask here. How do you create text in XNA I want to use it for debugging purposes :( I tried using BitmapFont myself, but even though I copied all the code correctly from the example into my program, it tells me it cannot find the font. I included the .xml file and the .png file in the project. Could somebody tell me a detailed explanation of everything I need for the font to work correctly I need to know what I have to include where, but I think the code is fine. ...Show All
.NET Development Find DataRow in DataRowCollection
Hi all! I have a problem that the IndexOf of DataTable.Rows does not find the row. It seems the link is broken one time, here is the summary of important lines of code: DataTable preparedSource = new DataView (dataSource, FilterExpression, SortExpression, DataViewRowState .CurrentRows).ToTable(); ... DataRow [] selectedRows = preparedSource.Select(SelectExpression); ... DataTable group = new DataView (preparedSource, ... ).ToTable(grpName); Now, if I take one of the selectedRows and try the group.Rows.IndexOf(DataRow), it returns false even if that row is in the table. Does any of the methods above duplicate the items instead of working with references How to solve this with minimal changes to code Th ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System "Catastrophic failure" during new project creation
I have been creating my own project templete based on the Agile templete and have created and deleted several test projects. But I started to get this error. I then tried to create a project using the provided Agile templete... same error at the time an initial task is being created (see below). I have rebooted the server, but got the same result. Has anyone seen this happen Any suggestions on what to do next I guess I can rebuild the server from scratch... but that gives me a bad feeling.

Windows Forms Why my program is not multi-language when i do a setup project ?
Hi, I've done an application that has multiple languages, When I run the project, I can switch languages, even though I have to restart it. However, when I build the Setup Project and install it, English-US remains as the only language available. Do you have any idea about it Thank you No, all I can do is repeat myself. The way it works is that there is one MSI file per language. I don't know what "switch to any language though your program" means exactly, but I assume you have multiple resource Dlls or something that you can switch too. MSI files don't work like that. ...Show All
