• Windows Live Developer Forums Photo upload tool please start working in my space !!

  hi.. this is my first post here, and i hope i'll get a beneficial answer from anyone. u see i've got a space in MSN and when i tried adding photos a window poped up and asked me to accept installing Photo upload tool inorder to have the ability to upload pictures to my space.

• Visual Studio Team System Schema comparison UI

  I've just run a schema comparison on a project that has in excess of 1500 objects. it worked fine. Trouble is, I do't instantly kow whether there are any changes or not. It tells me how many objects were compared but not how many differences there are. Similarly if there ARE any differences I need to search through the list to find them. In a list of 1500+ objects that is incredibly laborious. Can this be improved in any way -Jamie Amos Soma wrote: Jamie, There is no question the whole schema comparison functionality needs a boost, compared to what Red-Gate offers. However, are you aware that you can easily filter the list and just see the differences There is a Filter button on the toolbar. Am ...Show All

• SQL Server How to import & convert .BAK to .SQL

  I'm a complete novice to SQL Server. I am attempting to move my company's website (incl. SQL db) from one hosting company to another (less expensive). The site is written in ColdFusion. Prior to moving, the "old" host made a .BAK copy of our SQL database. Together with all the html/cf files and folders I donwloaded this .BAK file. I am now attempting to set up the website with a new host. In order for the new host to be able to import my database they are telling me I have to convert it to preferably .SQL extension format, or .CSV format. I have downloaded the free version of MS SQL Server 2005 and MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. Can this be used to convert the .BAK file If so, I'd like a brief "How to...." ...Show All

• .NET Development TcpClient.BeginAcceptTcpClient / Socket.BeginAccept / all other variations...

  First, I'm sorry for the cross-post...I didn't see the networking forum, so I posted into the vb.net forum. I've been having a problem with the use of any of the async methods of TcpClient, Socket, etc eating >95% cpu after receiving the first connection. I've been working on this for over a week now and I'm unable to find references to this issue anywhere. I've tried every way I can think of to work around this problem. Even if no data is sent or received on the connection....or if I close the received connection -- some unknown thread uses all the available cpu power after the first connection occurs. I created a small project that reproduces the problem -- I've zipped it up and posted it here: http://www.profitfuel.net/T ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I calculate the number of days between two dates in C#?

  Does anyone have a code sample that might help Dear Josh, This can be easily accomplished using an object of Type "TimeSpan". For example: let's assume that we want to know the number of days between the max. and min. values for the DateTime Type and show it in a Console window, then I may write something like: DateTime d1=DateTime.MinValue; DateTime d2=DateTime.MaxValue; TimeSpan span=d2-d1; Console.WriteLine          ( "There're {0} days between {1} and {2}" , span.TotalDays, d1.ToString(), d2.ToString() ); Note that I used the TotalDays property to get the number of days in between. This gets me the number of days putting in consideration the years with fraction days (years with ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do you import entire schema?

  Every time I try import Schema to a project and compare it back to the source database there are always statements that are missed by the import. I then try to run an update and get a whole host of user or group not found errors. Are there settings that need to be changed when importing schema I have already tried having the source schema settings override the target settings and have also tried default settings. Hi Which objects are missing Within the project, we treat rules, defaults, permissions, role membership signatures, storage, custom errors, encryption keys, linked servers and logins are pre or post deployment objects. Therefore they do not always appear in the Schema compare when do ...Show All

• Visual C# Everybody fails this test: C# strange inheritance

  Hi, can someone explain the strange behaviour of c# . The output of this code below is: "class B froma A". But more intuitive would be "class B from C". When one changes keyword override for new every things works like it supossed to (for me at least ). using System; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { public class A { public A() { } public virtual void Halo(C objectC) { Console.WriteLine("Class A"); } } public class B : A { public B() { } public void Halo(A objectA) { Console.WriteLine("Class B from A"); } public override void Halo(C objectC) { Console.WriteLine("Class B from C"); ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it possible to use a constant namespace wide?

  Hi All, C# only allows for the defining of a constant inside a class. Is it possible to have other classes use that constant Here is an expample // Assume in file MyFile1.cs namespace MyNameSpace { // Assume in file MyFile1.cs class MyClassToUse { public void WriteMe() { String strHi; strHi = MYCONST_TOUSE1; } } } // Assume in file MyFile2.cs namespace MyNameSpace { class MyClassToDefine { public const MYCONST_TOUSE1 = "Hi!"; } } The above code produces a compiler error, because VS05 only knows about the constant in MyFile2.cs.

• Visual Basic VisualBasic.Collection vs VBA.Collection

  Hi. I have ported a good chunk of my project from VB6 to VB2005. There is a VB6 COM DLL that I will not be porting over any time soon. I have a custom list class with an Add method that accepts a Collection (of strings). The list class can accept data from the COM DLL as well as Collections created within the project. Example; Dim Col as Collection Set Col = New Collection Col.Add("String1") Col.Add("String2") Call MyList.Add(Col) As well; Dim Col as Collection Set Col = DBEngine.GetListFromDatabase '//Where DBEngine is the COM DLL Call MyList.Add(Col) The problem though, is that now, under VB2k5, COM DLL's return a VBA.Collection Type, and the normal collection type is VisualBa ...Show All
