• SQL Server Recovering SQL 2000 Database without the Log File not in clean disconnected state

  We just had a hard drive crash here. We were able to copy off the .mdf file from SQL server 2000 from the drive, but not the .ldf (which was only 720k anyhow). When I try to attach the mdf to an SQL Server 2000 or 2005 server I get an error saying that the log file doesn't exist. Does anyone know a way to attach this not-cleanly-closed database file and recover the data (apparently the person decided that they need-not backup their database :<) Thanks for any help you can provide! You may get lucky and be able to attach to a SQL 2005 instance and use the ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG clause...try something like this: create database <x> on <filespec> for attach_rebuild_log ...Show All

• Community Chat Free Lists - Just a Q & D app I needed.

  http://www.barrysumpter.com Free Lists is the only app there written in vb.net. Don't worry about the other products. I've only sold 1 of each. I have no fantasies or pretentions regarding sales. Best intentions to offer Free Lists as a usable product developed in my spare time over a three day period. Standard, evironments, interfaces change so often I've given up trying to conform. For me, vb.net has been an absolute nightmare. Any features left out are from frustration only. Any positive comments are welcome. Any positive constructive suggestions may very well end up in the next version. All the best to everyone. Oh My God! Don't know what that was. And don't remember seeing that come up before.

• Smart Device Development Deploying Multiple cab files at once

  I have developed my application and created the .cab file for this application. I followed the tutorial on creating an MSI file and custominstaller and this works fine. My problem comes from the fact that my application must also install .NET framework 2.0 and the SQLMobile .Cab file. I am wanting to package all of these together and be able to deploy them at one time from a users PC. I am not wanting to make the user click on each cab file to execute them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to accomplish this, or give me a good idea on how to do it. Thanks for any help I have looked at a great deal of information on the Install_Init and Install_Exit functions and that see ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XBAP and default browser

  Hi, I got the following problem since I uninstalled the February CTP and installed the May CTP instead: When I press Ctrl-F5 in Visual Studio for a XBAP application, Firefox is started instead of IE. Since Firefox doesn't understand XBAP, I cannot run or debug the application as easily as before. I know how to change the default browser for a HTML application, but I didn't find such a setting for XBAP applications. Any hint welcomed! Greetings, Laurent Hi, AFAICS it's still the case in the November CTP. However, the workaround I found works OK: In Firefox, open the menu Tools / Options / Downloads. Then click on "View & edit actions" and change the action for XBAP applications to the Windows Presentation Host. Now when ...Show All
