• SQL Server SQL Server Managment Studio

  I'm now using SQL 2005 instead of 2000 and when I'm writing Stored Procedure if I don't put the database name as in the FROM clause in a Select statement and one of the specified column is not existing (or has a typo) in the table, I don't receive an error when I parse the code. Is there a way to be prompt for the error prior to call the SP Hi, this is called deferred name resolution which always takes place if an object is not yet existing in the database. If a referenced object exists, SQL Server will check the existance of any column if not it is deferred to the execution time (late object resolution). You cannot influence this beside executing the stored procedure and check for er ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System The application for project is not installed (project types .rptproj and .dwproj)

  It used to work, but then... Visual Studio 2005 was hummin' and I had a number of BI projects in both Report Services and Analysis Services. I wanted to add source control and decided to install the Team Suite and I did something wrong. I just don't know what it was. In the end, I deinstalled every Visual Studio 2005 (including, of course,the Team stuff)and SQL Server 2005 application, and reinstalled old faithful Visual Studio 2005, but nothing has worked. I'm missing the Business Intelligence project templates completely and I'm guessing that if I had them, I wouldn't get either of the following 2 messages when I try to open existing projects: "The project application for 'c:\...\SOS.dwproj' is not installed. Make sure the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Clipboard Problem

  Hi there I seem te be having a problem when placing images on the clipboard. It only seems to be a problem when the code is executed on a Virtual PC and I suspect it has something to do with graphics memory, but I am not sure, and I was hoping that perhaps someone will know of a better way to accomplish this. Here is some info on the app. We have an avalon design canvas on which all kinds of objects are placed. Later on the user can then select an area of this design canvas and "grab" a bitmap image of the selection. This bitmap image is placed on the clipboard from where it can be pasted into other applications as normal images. Here is the code that takes, as input, a FrameworkElement, makes a bitmap out of it an retur ...Show All

• Visual C# Searching in a text file

  Hello I have a text file with a list of numbers and names.For example 345623 John 234800 Jim 298756 Maria with about 40000 such entries. I would like to search the text file for a specific number and display the associated name. How can i search fast the text file I dont want to use any kind of collection if possible. regards. I don't think so. You can't navigate to a particular line in a text file, only forward reading. You could do a 1 time only parse of the text file to an DataTable, set the "id" as the primary key and use the WriteXml method to save it. string filename = "" ; TextReader r = new FileInfo (filename).OpenText(); DataTable table = new ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Contextmenu: activated from which control ?

  I have a context menu (right-click menu) that several comboboxes point to (contextmenustrip). If I rightclick on these comboboxes, the menu drops down and I can select an item from it. This can be detected by the event handlers. But how do I find out the control from which I right-clicked The list of options form toolstrip items is endless.... couldn't find it... Thymen Probably the best way to do this is to make a class which inherits comboxbox. so the class looks acts like a combobox.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Deletion of PnP drivers saved in a Repository.

  Hello all, On installation of a software package Vista saves driver packages into a special folder ( %windir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\), but does not delete it during uninstallation process.
