• SQL Server CREATE TABLE scripts

  I have a bunch of CREATE TABLE scripts I need to run. In Visual Studio 2003 you could right-click on a .SQL file and choose Run from the shortcut menu... and it would run the script. Visual Studio 2005 there is not a Run on the right-click short cut menu. What gives hi, why not just downloading the free official management tool, SQL Server Management Studio Express, from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en .. after installing it, the .Sql extension will be associated to this tool... very easy to use.. regards ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 closes dropdownlist if style changed via javascript

  Hi, I already posted this question to microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general 2 weeks ago, but got no answer. I'm not sure if I'm right here, but I'll try. I have to change the backgroundColor of a dropdownlist on focus. And if you leave it (onblur), the color has to change back again. Unfortunatelly IE7 closes the DDL when you change the cssClass or style.backgroundColor You can see it easily with this html page: <script language="javascript"> function SetClass(obj, valid) { window.status = 'Gonna change backgroundColor ...'; window.setTimeout(function() { if(valid) { obj.style.backgroundColor = "green"; } else { obj.style.backgroundColor = "red"; } wind ...Show All

• Visual C# Cannot Convert ref Class to ref Object

  Hello, I have convert a VB application to C#. I am trying to debug it. I have got one error where I am calling a function proving it an instance of a class to an object as a ref.

• Visual Basic Is the IDE Tab control available as a component?

  The IDE Tab control has some features that I would like as a run-time component - mainly the auto-hide feature. Is the component MS uses in the IDE availalble as a usable component If not, is there a tab control component that behaves like the IDE version with auto-hide Thanks for your replies. I wonder why MS did not include the component in it's toolbox as it is used to build the development IDE If any MS Visual Studio people are reading this, can you make the tab control component you build the IDE with available Thanks.. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IObjectReference interface for which all dependencies cannot be resolved

  I am hosting my workflow in ASP.NET via a webservice. I can successfully call a SubmitOrder() webmethod to create a workflow instance and see the instance move through the state when raising an OrderCreated event. The instance is then persited in the db.

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. I like the features I've seen, but the loss of the icon control is not something I can tolerate. I will commence the uninstall as soon as I send this. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DFVF_XYZRHW

  I'm not as brainy as I'd like to be, and I'm currently trying to implement my own simple windowing system. I am currently drawing one poly over another using already transformed vertices. What I have found though is when I set the Z component to 1.0, my scene appears in front of the polygon, but at 0.9 it doesn't. Be aware that I am using an extremely large coordinate space (hundreds of millions of units for... you guessed it, space...) and there are items (large items) over 100 million kilometeres away, and my ship which is like 5m from my ship, but even it still appears in front of the polygon when z is 0.9. So, what I would like to know is, how is the Z component distributed across the viewing frustum, and what does the W do in x ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to get to square 1 with incremental processing

  Basic stuff here - I've got a partition that I'll eventually need to process incrementally through AMO. Before commiting anything to code, I thought I'd give it a try in SSMS, and I'm having trouble getting even the simplest incremental update to succeed. Here's what I tried: I fully processed the partition and captured the SQL used to query the fact tables (by copying it out of the status/progress info in the Process dialog of SSMS). I modified that query to return an identical resultset, but limited to only the last few rows. I once again opened the Process dialog in SSMS on the partition in question, selected the option to use a query to select the fact data to be processed and pasted in my modified query. Clicking OK result ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView.Sort explodes after modifying/adding row(s)...

  I am creating a little app that has a DataGridView to keep track of tasks. In the DataGridView I have several columns - an id (a textbox column set with the ValueType of Type.GetType("System.Int32")), a priority, an image column (representing the priority with an image), and a few other text, date, and checkbox columns. When I first load my application, I read in the data from a DataTable in a DataSet, and create a new row in the DataGridView for each row in the DataSet. This allows me to select the right image for the image column based on the value of the Priority column. When the application shuts down, it does something similar - for each DataGridViewRow in the DataGridView, it extracts the data that needs to be written to the disk, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CTP's

  A few weeks after installing the Beta 2 bits, the June CTP was released. I have been thinking about installing the June release and now I see that there is a July CTP SDK. Is there a Cider/Orcas release for the July CTP If no, is it worth upgrading to the June release from Beta 2 The CTP's are coming every few weeks now and I am not sure about when to upgrade. Thanks Steve There will be no Cider July CTP to match the .Net Framework 3.0 July CTP. However, there has been a refresh of the VS Orcas June CTP posted today as well.
