• Visual Studio Team System Deploy windows users to different servers

  Hi All, I have an issue with deploying a SQL 2000 database project to different servers, each using windows authentication. I have a user against in the database project called "User1". This has to be tied into the login "COMPUTER\User1", where computer will be the name of the server I am deploying the project to. The problem is that creating a user using sp_grantdbaccess requires a login name, but the login name can't be determined till deployment time because the login name will change based on the server name. So I keep getting the error 'User1' is not a valid login or you do not have permission" . Does anyone have a work around for this Other then blogs and this forum are there any good online resources for D ...Show All

• Windows Forms Visual Basic - printing to a listbox

  How do I make Visual Basic enter values in a listbox while the program is running, instead of waiting until the end and then displaying all values Sounds like you're running code that takes a while to finish. For a Q&D fix, call Application.DoEvents() after you've added the item to allow the ListBox to repaint itself. For a clean fix, you'd need threading and Invoke(). ...Show All

• Visual C# Restrict the size of a string

  This is more then likley going to be an easy fix, but at the moment I can not think straight. What I am tring to do is restrict the size of a string. I am in the process of migrating some data from one sql system to another and need to truncate some text in the process. I need to convert a text field to a varchar(7989), to do this I need to make sure that the data from the text filed is striped so that only the first 7989n characters are returned. I have a data reader that I am going through and am adding it to a genieric collection that I am then going to process and re insert into the new system... all I need is a way to restrict the text returned from the data reader... all the rest is fine.

• SQL Server Looking for table / view that will tell me if I need to reinitialize subscription

  I have kind of unique situation. I am running Merge replication. In one of my publications I am only publishing procedures/functions/views. By design, these do not change that often, but when a programmability object changes, it is scripted in a way so that: 1. The article is dropped from the publication 2. the object is then changed 3. The article is added back to the publication My question is: Is there a table or view that the subscriber or publisher can see that could tell me if reinitialization needs to occur. I am looking at adding an automated script at the subscriber that makes the determiniation and automatically reinitializes the subscription. My alternative is to force the subscriber to reinitialize every time w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Regarding use of panel

  Hi it seems panel and forms are same..what is the use of panel actualy when should we go for panel Thank you... They both inherit from ContainerControl so have identical behavior as far as containing controls goes. A Panel is useful if you want to contain controls in a child window. That gets handy when you want to move them, scroll them or show/hide them as a group. Look at Project + Properties; a set of buttons on the left, each button makes a different panel visible. ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple records returned.

  The following statement gives the error that multiple records are returned. I am attempting to pick one weight out of a group of three, the three have the same ResidentID and different dates in the table variable @WeightReportRaw.

• .NET Development HttpWebRequest SSL Session Control

  I use an HTTPS GET towards a server. This .NET code fetches a session cookie from the server. The code uses HttpWebRequest with KeepAlive = false to fetch the cookie. NO cookies are ever sent to the server. My application will always receive a session cookie when the .NET application is first initialised. If the application tries to perform another fetch however without .NET initialisation, the remote server does not return a session cookie since it believes this is a continuation of an existing session. When I analyse the SSL packets using Ethereal, I see that the SSLV3 SessionID in the .NET sent Client Hello is zero in the first GET but contains the same non-zero SessionID for each subsequent GET. This is how some servers maint ...Show All
