• SQL Server Downgrade SQL 2005 Entreprise to Workgroup Edition ?

  Hi I have the following problem : I have licensed a german version of sbs 2003 premium. With the upgrade to sbs 2003 r2, I will buy the rights to use the sql 2005 workgroup edition. But the german sbs 2003 r2 is not available by now. I could go in production with the sql 2005 trial, this is an entreprise edition. My question is : can I downgrade the sql server 2005 from this trial edition (entreprise) to the workgroup edition Is it possible easy any recommendations Many thanks ! Ferrarirosso You can upgrade Trial SQL Server 2005 to Workgroup edition but it must happen before the trial edition expires. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project Item Templates

  Hi all, I'm developing a new project wizard which has to create both new projects and project items according to project and project item templates that we've created and tested. The problem I'm having is this: The new projects are being created correctly with the new template via (Solution2) GetProjectTemplate() but whenever I try to create the project item from its template via (Soluntion2) GetProjectItemTemplate() it throws the following exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException Message: "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)":null Source "EnvDTE80" string As I mentioned both templates have been tested and appear in the proper VS dialogs. It just seems tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Designer for Avalon UIs

  Hi, if I understood correctly, the following facts are correct: 1. Avalon will be available on Win XP machines. 2. Visual Studio 2005 will be the developing tool for the next 2 to 3 years for XP and for Vista. 3. Microsoft encourages developers to develop UI-designs for avalon and use XAML for that purpose My question is, since I know VS2005 quite well: Will there be a designer, similar to the windows forms designer, for designing XAML applications And if yes, how will it be integrated in VS2005 As an Add-In Maybe there are some resources on the web, which are dealing with those basic questions. Thanks for any help! - Klaus AFAIK: VS 2005 will be released in november (and will not contain any W ...Show All

• SQL Server How can User add order from only one company at a time

  tblUser ----------- UserID uniqueidentifier PK (newid) UserName varchar(MAX) tblCompany ---------------- CompanyID uniqueidentifier PK newid() CompanyName varchar(MAX) tblUserCart ----------------------- CompanyID uniqueidentifier FK newid() UserID uniqueidentifier PK Product varchar(MAX) Asume we got 3 tables like above.

• .NET Development Serialization in .net

  Hi, I am reading serialization in .net. I have a question regarding it. If I have a class named "Employee" and a webservice which has a method like "GetEmployee(int EmpID)" which is supposed to return me an object of class employee with all details of the provided EmpID. Even if I dont mark my class "Employee" as Serializable, the web method still shows a response on browser with complete employee object in XML format. Then Why would I require serialization at all Can anyone help clarify this point The XML Serializer used with Web Services does not require [Serializable]. It will serialize any public members of any public class. [Serializable] is for use with .NET Remo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development UPNP_E_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION_FAILED

  Hi all !!! This project on developping upnp device will definitely make me crazy. I'm getting a UPNP_E_EVENT_SUBSCRIPTION_FAILED error whereas I'm using the microsoft sdk implementation.

• .NET Development Determine if I can create Directories or files.

  How do I find out if I have write access to a directory to create files and / or directories without actually writing/deleting anything. I started looking at ACL stuff but it's a bit daunting. I figured that somewhere in the bowels of .Net there is a 'IsWriteAccess()' call somewhere - just that I haven't been able to find it. My thanks to you both for answering. It appears the simple routine I wanted is not available. The purpose was a backup program. I did not want to alter the output directory till some future scheduled run-time as I also have an asynchronous monitor watching for timestamp changes. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cannot share Access Database on Vista

  Hello, I have three computers running on a peer-2-peer network. Two are Vista (Ultimate) machines and the other one is an XP machine (sp2). All have Office 2003 installed. I have setup one Vista workstation to share an MDB file in its Public folder. Everything works fine until I attempt to get the other Vista workstation to access this file at the same time. If I first open the MDB file on the Vista workstation that physically contains this file, I cannot open the file on the other Vista workstation. MS Access will hang or freeze until I close it on the first machine. The XP workstation does not have this problem and everything works fine. Please understand that everything works great until I try to get the two Vista Workstations ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Can't rebuild project after moving from VFP7 to VFP9

  I have several large projects that I developed in VFP7 under Windows 2000 server. I have copied them entire to a new server and I'm trying to convert them to VFP9 to run under SQL 2005.

• Internet Explorer Development Outlook Web Access - TEXTAREA problem in message window

  A few days ago now, I found out that when opening a new message window or replying to a message, the message window opens and loads correctly until its last item, the TEXTAREA. When looking at the source, the textarea is correctly filled with the preset data (when replying). On my other PC, this still works as normal, so it is not a website problem, more my pc, but how can I resolve this It only displays a red X in the top left corner instead of actually displaying the TEXTAREA.
