• SQL Server SQL 2005 fails to install workstation components and tools

  Hello. When I install SQL Server 2005, it all goes well except that it fails to install these two: - SQLXML 4 - workstation components and tools When I try to install these two from the CD in the Setup folder of the CD 2 with the files sqlxml4.msi and sqlRun_Tools.msi (if I remember these names correctly), it gives me an error: 'Ce package d'installation n'est pas pris en charge par ce type de processeur' Sorry. My SQL CDs are in french, but it roughly translates to the message: This installation package is not taken by this processor. I thought that my hardware configuration does not meet the requirements. But I have a Pentium 4, 2Gig RAM, over 100Gig free HD space. Also I tried to install on other computers to no ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE + Office 2003 + VS 2005 Pro

  This is more of a Getting Started type of question. For some reason, I'm not finding any kind of basic tutorial that covers building an Add-In using VSTO SE (Beta) + Office 2003 Pro + Visual Studio 2005 Pro. The document that comes with VSTO SE Beta describes how to build a Ribbon, Custom Task Pane and a Custom Form Regin but all for Office 2007 components. I'd like to build an Excel 2003 add-in (or whatever) that displays a button to my end-user. Once the button is clicked I'll grab some data from the current/active worksheet, send the data to a web service and then take the results of the web service call and poke it back into the current worksheet. I've been able to do this in old school VBA (plus the now unsupported SOAP Toolkit) b ...Show All

• SQL Server Grand Total Needed

  I have two subreports (Revenue and Expense) that each have subtotals. This works just fine, but I need a Grand Total that would sum the two subtotals. How would I go about doing this So it looks something like this: Revenue Report (matrix) Subtotal Expense Report (matrix) Subtotal <~~~~ Need Grand Total here. Could you use a UNION ALL statement with the 2 dataset you are now using. You then could group by expenses, expense type That would get you the subtotal expense type and the Grand Total expenses. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Update Database through vb listbox.. Help!

  Hie, i am very very new at programming and I would like to have some help here. I'm doing a project on Phone Index and Searcher. So I was thinking of having simple buttons such as "Add", "Remove" and "Search". I would like to know how to link these buttons to the database's SQL statements to GET, UPDATE and even search for a certain value. Please help me, thanx (: what you may wish to start with is a BindingNavigator/TableAdapter.

• .NET Development Need guidance for a client/server system (programmed using visual basic)

  I'm programming a small client-server system that will be used in a small office of up to 10 computers on the same network. The server computer stores a database, and I'm writing a program to go on the server to be in charge of communicating with the database, and also communicating with the client programs installed on each other computer. The client programs will often request data from the database which the server software will send back to the client software. Also the server software will need to message the client software with certain events happening etc. So basically I need to program a communication system between a server program connected to several instances of a client program. Various messages will need to be passed back ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple Executions of same package using DTEXEC

  Hi, I have a file-deployed package which I need to call N times at once using DTEXEC.  When I attempt to execute N instances of the package, the second instance doesn't execute.  I can execute different packages at the same time, but never the same package more than once.  Does anyone know how to get this scenario working   Just to clarify a bit more - I can call the package as many times as I like as long as I wait until the previous run of DTEXEC is finished.  Please help! Thanks, dcb99 I have accomplished similar results but calling the package from another package. You could use a Foreach loop; but that will not allow you parallel executions, though. In my case, I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cannot get a list of Lobby aware applications (C#)

     Good evening all, I just cannot seem to get a list of Lobby aware applications registered on my system. I know there are two games that are listed on dxdiag's Network tab, and shown as Lobbyable applications. But when I execute: Microsoft.DirectX.DirectPlay.Lobby.Client.GetLocalPrograms() and try to attach to a listbox, nothing happens. The array is empty. Any idea why I have DX9 installed.

• Visual Studio EnvDTE80.TextDocumentKeyPressEvents.BeforeKeyPress randomly not working?

  Hi, I have hooked up the EnvDTE80.TextDocumentKeyPressEvents.BeforeKeyPress in an addin I wrote to check out from Perforce when a read-only file is modified. It works fine most of the time. But after a while, I just stop getting the event. It doesn't seem related to switching solutions or anything like that. The only way to get the functionality back is to restart the IDE. I register the event handler in Connect.OnConnection, and the addin is constantly loaded. Anyone have any ideas I can circumvent it by re-registering the event, but that's a hack. Could this be a problem to do with the Connect class being destroyed after some time Cheers, Rory Hi, Well I checked, and I don't think this ...Show All

• .NET Development xslCompileTransform - Parameter problem passing attribute

  I have a sample application that I have simplified the xslt and xml file down to where I am having the problem. The original sample came from a .net 1.0 c# example that I converted to vb and had working using xsltransform. I then converted the app to .net 2.0 and changed the code to use xslcompiledtransform because the xsltransform class was deprecated. Since the change to 2.0 something about the parameter is not work. Either the parameter is not passing correctly or being tested in the xslt file correctly. I do not get any errors. The result string contains my table, row and cell. The cell should contain the Page Title and does not. Here is my simplified xslt file: test.xslt < xml version="1.0" encoding=&quo ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting an error RC2188 (Visual Studio 2005, C++)

  Hi, For some reason I'm getting an RC2188 error from the Resource Compiler when accessing the Resource View. There is no documentation for this error. Situation is, I have an RC2 file with my version info in, which is not to be edited by Visual Studio. When the message comes up, it has the path to the RC2 file with a (6) after it. Presumably this is the line number which is #error this file is not editable by Microsoft Visual C++ Anyone have any idea why this is now causing an error (has been working fine in this configuration for months) Thanks in advance Ian.

• .NET Development Some basic questions

  I'm working on a distributed workflow application. I'm creating a workflow engine that will have several interfaces implemented and exposed as Web Services. I'm looking for the best way to setup my VisualStudio project. The application I'm working on is upgrading an existing standalone app to a distributed architecture. There is much logic in the existing app that I want to reuse. Therefore I've designed my solution as a Web Services engine warpper around much of the existing logic and used the engine to hide this from the Web Services interface, where possible. Right now, I have a class called Engine, that implements several interfaces. The methods in these interfaces are exposed as Web Service methods. Several of these methods t ...Show All
