• Windows Forms OnClick preceding OnEnter

  VS 2005 / XP Pro -- both with all service packs It is my understanding that the OnEnter event should precede most (all ) other events for a control but... Our application has a form on which is a Tab-control. We load a number of controls dynamically onto this Tab-control -- ComboBoxes, CheckListBoxes, and TextBoxes. We haven't checked all the Tabs, but on at least one of the Tabs the OnClick/OnMouseClick event precedes the OnEnter event for the ComboBoxes and CheckListBoxes (but not the TextBoxes). Controls that are added at design-time on other Forms' Tab-controls have the events fire in the expected order -- OnEnter and then OnClick/OnMouseClick. Is my understand of the sequence of events erroneous or can someone g ...Show All

• SQL Server how to properly qualify calls to sys.fn_*

  hello, i would like to use some sql code which is inside of a system stored procedure. when i "script as create" the procedure to see it's content all goes fine. but when i try to execute some sql code from the SP, the server cannot find some entities (functions, etc). example: script the procedure distribution.sys.sp_replmonitorhelpmergesession and the generated code will contain calls to sys.fn_replmerge_get_errormsgcounts( int ) how do i call that function TIA The way to call a general sys.fn_* function is as you mentioned and is correct. This specific function is accessible only to objects in the resource database (system objects) and not to user defined objects. So you c ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express 2005 installation fails on all of our PCs

  The installation fails and crashes with "Error 110", while attempting to install the SQL Native Client... then crashes (DrWatson). This happens on every OS and test machines that we have within our company... flavors of W2K and WXP, all with .Net Framework 2.0.
