Visual Studio Express Editions Why have case sensitivity in a language?
I started learning VB 2005 at first but then decided that for what I wish to do, C# was a better fit. I'm new to programming and when I discocvered that C# is a case-sensitive language, I couldn't think of any reasons why this should be the case. Surely case-sensitivity raises the chances of subtle problems in code due to mis-spelled variables, function names etc So why not do away with case-sensitivity if this is all it brings Or is there some, as yet unexplained, reason for case-sensitivuty in a language that I haven't come across in my learning process yet - Seef VB.NET was really for beginners who want to come into software development and ignore case sensitivity where as the higher langu ...Show All
Visual Studio VS2005 get corrupted binary files!!! VS 6.0 can still get it!?!?
Dear forum members, I have a huge problem. When I check in a Access database in VS2005 and do "Get Latest Version" the file is always working (= not corrupt). If I get the history the Access database is corrupt whilst VS6 can still fetch the whole history on the same repository without any problem! ! ! ! I have run the latest hotfix (KB923434) but still didn't work. Also remarks that the hotfix should only work from installation moment on doesn't make sense because VS 6.0 can get it! Autodetect Filetype is checked and *.mdb added as Binary file type. Analyze didn't help at all ... So I am lost and seriously thinking of going back to VS6.0 ... HELP !!! Leo, You men ...Show All
Visual Basic Issue with viewing errors in the IDE
I have tried to view my errors by using the IDE. However, when I click on > View >> Errors I do not see the error list window. I only see if I run DeBug and click on the "Yes" to continue even though there are errors. Does anybody have any idea how I restore the ability to view my errors Thank you! The IDE keeps two sets of window positions: one for designer and one for run mode. It sounds like your window position for the Error List window is fine when in run mode. But the position in the designer is invalid so it does not show up. That is why resetting the window positions may help. ...Show All

SQL Server BUG: UPDATE updates not listed fields
Hi Everybody, I am in this forum for a first time. Today, I think, I found a bug in SQL Server 2000. I tried it on SQL Server 2005 and it is alive yet.

SQL Server Query Or Stored procedure
Should I use query or stored procedure to get results fast. Your question is very unspecific. Usually the majority of the query time will be returning large volumes of data. Having a stored procedure is usefull for complex data retrieval or if you want to perform other actions such as logging and for having a precompiled query execution plan. Personally I prefer to just wrap up my report query in a view to keep the logic out of the report and to make updates via SQL. I see no harm in using a stored proc though. ...Show All

Visual Studio Max records limit reached
Hi everyone; I'm running a report in and ASP.Net App. When I run the report in the CR XI Designer, it works fine, but when I'm looking at it in my App I got the next Error: Max processing time or Max records limit reached While Googling, I found that I need to modify the Limit Records in the RAS as explained in this page http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2015513.asp ref=devzone_net_archive , I did that and I set it up to Unlimited. This should have worked, but I'm getting the same error. If I modify the Limit Records to a very small value, let's say 10, I was expecting to have the same error message for all my reports, but I didn't. All the reports with more than 10 records worked fine. At this poin ...Show All
