• Visual Studio Express Editions incremental linking is impossible, help please

  hi, I have been struggling with this problem for over 2 weeks, and i was told in one of the forums to try here. so here is my problem: I installed visual c++ 2005 express edition, and it works fine except the fact that it seems it has not incremental linking, it seems that for some reasons, it can't access the .obj files and update them (when I check their modification date, it shows the one from the last REbuild). I even disabled Norton antivirus and Zonealarm, thinking that they might have something to do. I have no clue what to do, and the size of my project makes impossible for me to live with this problem anymore. I can't wait for the whole source to REbulild after each modification !!! please, do you have any suggestions. I m ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with SQL statement

  I'm trying to select from a database (MS Access) with the following SQL statement: SELECT * FROM Students WHERE (Students.Options LIKE '*1*' OR Students.Options LIKE '*2*') The Options field is simply a text field containing a comma separated list of numbers and I want to pick only the rows where Options contains specific numbers.

• SQL Server Database security on a Local Network

  This is regarding general protection of a database hosted on a network. I am developing a database application for my college library using VB.NET, that will reside on a network. For some reasons, I did not want to hardcode the Database location in the application. Instead, when a user logs in, he can choose the database location using a folder browser control, if the location has changed. Now, I realize that for this, I have to put the database in a shared folder, which makes it quite vulnerable. Having pondered over the problem for sometime, a solution that comes to my mind is to place a Text file in the same shared folder that always contains the correct path of the database. When a user chooses that folder, I will read the actual path ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NetMSMQBinding: what is UseActiveDirectory good for ?

  I don't see what purpose the UseActiveDirectory flag has in the NetMSMQBinding config. Do I still have to format the endpoint address using a machine name if I use this Are other more flexible queue addressing modes available when this option is TRUE For example, can I simply pass the format name guid in the address, rather than machine name Or the queue label Some features of the net.msmq binding require that MSMQ resolves addresses through the ActiveDirectory (as opposed to using direct format names). One example is message encryption with MSMQ transport security - this works only if ActiveDirectory is involved. This is feature (or limitation) inherited from the MSMQ architecture.
