• SQL Server "Upgrade" from 2000 to 2005, version still says 8.0.2039

  I just installed 2005 and accepted all the defaults to upgrade the default instance of 2000 as prompted. However, when I open the SQL Server Mgnt Studio, my server shows 8.0.2039 as the version which is 2000, and I can't restore a backup from another 2005 server, because it gives an error message like it still thinks its 2000. The whole installation process went fine including sp1. I looked in Services to see if there was more than one instance of SQL Server, and there isn't. Also, all my database files are still in the old 2000 (mssql\data) directory. Any ideas, solutions Thanks. Michael So to be clear... I don't have to uninstall either version now. All I have to do is stop all of the current ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Loading a BitVector32 or a Bit Array from an Integer

  I'm writing an application (VB.Net Mobile) where I have 16 checkboxes on a form for the user to individually set the state of bits in 16-bit words I've looked at both the BitArray and BitVector32 classes - both appear to have methods for extracting the 16-bit binary value of a bit-mapped array but there doesn't appear to be a method for loading a 16 bit binary value into the bit-mapped arrays.
