• SQL Server SQL Server and Local Account Login

  Hello, I have a server with SQL Server 2000 installed on it that was installed under a local account. On installation I chose to use integrated security with my Windows account. I now need to change the password for that local account, however when I do the SQL server will not start up on boot. When I try to connect to the database to start it I get an error 1069 (logon failure) followed by "A connection could not be established to (LOCAL). Reason: SQL Server does not exist or access denied." I thought that by right-clicking the server and going to "Edit SQL Server Registration Properties" and changing from window authentication to SQL server authentication this problem could be overcome, but apparently I'm looking in t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XWB/XSB opening and extraction

  Hi, Is there a way to open only XWB and XSB files without an XAP I have an XWB file which I want to extract data from, but when I open it with XACT it says the project file has 1 or more missing values. What does that mean Wavebank (.xwb) and soundbank (.xsb) files are generated by the XACT GUI from a project file (.xap). The XACT GUI cannot load the generated files, it can only load .xap files. The binary format of the wavebank file is documented in the header xact2wb.h. Using this header, you can write a tool to parse data from the wavebank. The binary format of the soundbank file is not documented. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - combo box cell requires 3 click until drop down appears

  hi all, i have a wierd behaviour from unbounded datagridview control (since it's not bounded - it should behave like any other control...). when adding a combobox cell to the grid and working at runtime it needs 3 mouse clicks until the dropdown actually appears, i guess that the behaviour is like this: - first click: control get focus - second click: edit mode starts - third click: drop down appears. i've changed the code so that after 2 clicks it appears by adding event when a cell is being clicked and starting edit mode directly - but it still reuires 2 click (that's very annoying). appreciate any help, 10x, z I find this really annoying too. I got 'around' it by automatically activating the cell ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Newly created Iteration path not showing up in work items

  I have created a new iteration and area paths for my project, but the values never show up in Work Item dropdown values.  Its been a few hours, and I've re-started VS/TeamExplorer several times. Any idea how to resolve this issue   I need to be able to create new values that show up in my WI's. Thanks, -JS This usually happens when Team Client has already cached the areas/iterations for a project. To get the new areas/iterations to show I usually have to go to the Team Project, right click Work Items and choose Refresh. The sucky part about this is that if you already started entering/changing a work item, there's no way to get the new areas/iterations to show until you commit it and ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE6 & IE7 Concurrently

  From my browsing and reading the forums and IE7 website, it appears that IE6 and IE7 cannot run concurrently. If this is the case, is there any feature in IE7 that allow you to preview what a webpage would look like in IE6. It really would be a pain to have to view every web page in development on a different PC just to see how IE6 and IE7 would render it. Here, here! Excellent point. Is it not lame that Microsoft does this to us developers Please Bill (whomever, someone!), can you try to feel our pain and do something about this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type...???

  I get the error below when I call many of the HTML... components, such as mshtml.HTMLAnchorElementClass or mshtml.HTMLDivElementClass. for example: foreach (mshtml.HTMLAnchorElementClass aAnch in aItems) When I do that the program dies immediately. and this error below is posted: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'mshtml.HTMLAnchorElementClass'. COM components that enter the CLR and do not support IProvideClassInfo or that do not have any interop assembly registered will be wrapped in the __ComObject type. Instances of this type cannot be cast to any other class; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Recognizing changes on a Datagridview

  Hello. A question please. I fill a datagridview with a datatable. I assign this datatable to the datasource property of the datagridview. That in the load event of my form.

NetPochi, I suggest you to use the DataTable.RowChanging event which occurs when a datarow is changing. As known that the DataSet contains the DataTable, they are both in memory. Please take a look at the DataRowChangeEventArgs class, it prov ...Show All

• Windows Forms FieldHandle property don't impliment

  When run : FieldInfo fi; ..... RuntimeFieldHandle rfh = fi.FieldHandle; Get message ' NotSupportedException' Property RuntimeMethodHandle mHandle = mi.MethodHandle; - Work OK FieldInfo is an abstract base class. At runtime a runtime type is returned instead (as it is for all reflection values). Ultimately two types can be returned. RtFieldInfo is for standard fields (like those found in a class). These will have a field handle as they are truly fields. However for enumerations (and perhaps others) fields are also used to store information but they aren't true fields. In this case MdFieldInfo is returned. This particular type will throw an exception because the fields aren't true fields. Md stands for metadata. ...Show All
