• SQL Server Running Sql Server Developer Edition with VS 2005 and ASP.NET

  I am having problems installing Sql Server Developer edition (2005) with VS 2005 and getting any ASP.NET projects to work. It says SQl Server express must be installed. I would like to use the full developer edition to link to my projects. Can someone help Thanks, Mike G By using App_Data it appears you're forced into using SQL Express, because you're defining a connection to a physical database file, rather than establishing a connection string to an existing server. In my web.config file I configure an application variable called ConnectionString containing something like this: Integrated Security=True;Data Source=MyServer;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;Application Name=MyApp; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with my MSPaint-like app

  I was currently making a MSPaint-like app just for fun when I encountered a problem. As in MSPaint I had to create a Line tool. I recorded the first mouse coordinates in the mousedown event and drew a line whose initial point is at the point of mousedown event while the other end point would move with the mouse. Formely, it had worked well but now it doesn't. I can't remember what I changed in the code. The problem is not just that, the CPU Usage meter goes over 50-80% while moving the mouse which in a MSPaint is just around 20-30%. My app also uses very high amount of memory. I checked everything and just couldn't figure out why. My guess is I straining the CPU on 'OnPaint' and 'MouseMove' event. By the way, do I need to de ...Show All

• Visual Studio Lets talk about rendering performance

  Hello. Our company distributes a vertical market accounting app which we've migrated from Crystal Reports to the WinForms ReportViewer. Our installed base is around 6,000 end users. We've found the viewer to be a solid product and we're pleased with the functionality and stability. That said, we may be forced to abandon reporting services for some applications due to performance issues. As an example, we have a report that processes 10,000 rows and perhaps 20 columns. On a 3 GHz machine with 2GB RAM, it takes 40 seconds to render the report (not counting query time). In addition, ReportViewer consumes approx 400MB of memory for this process (after garbage collection). These results won't cut it when a user is waiting for real-time outpu ...Show All

• Visual C# Embedded enum?

  enum Animals {Cat, Dog}; then I use do Animals.Cat in the code, with Intellisense support; how can I do something like Animals.Mammels.Dog A double embedded enumaration, with full Intellisense support. Can I do something like this If not, what is the closest and easiest solution The closest you could get what you want is: namespace MyNamespace { namespace Animals { public enum Mammals { Cat, Dog } public enum Reptiles { Snake, Lizard } // etc... } } ...but you would not be able to have an Animals enum within MyNamespace as well namespace MyNamespace {  public enum Animals { Cat, Dog } } ...Show All

• SQL Server help with complex SQL query

  I need some help from prog. gurus with sql query. I have a commodity table and I would like to pull information from it based on the conditions. I can write code to pull straight forward information from the table but I need help in writing query such that the later columns are based on the former columns. To clear my question, I am writing the sample code below. The column 4, 5 and 6 are based on column 1, 2, 3. Column6 is column3/column2 (which is simple) But column4 & 5 are too complex for me to write the code for. Column4 is the % of Quantity (cty_code)/(all countries) for that particular commodity. cty_code correspends to a country.

• Windows Search Technologies Searching for decimal numbers

  POSTED at "Windows Desktop Search Help" without a reply. Hello, This is the problem I am having with vanilla Indexing Services on Win XP. Can I solve this with Indexing Services or with WDS =============== I have removed the numbers from my noise.enu file (using American English locale). I can get results for whole numbers and alpha-numeric words. A decimal number does not show up when I search for it. Some of the decimal numbers are currency so I tried with the dollar sign as well. I would appreciate suggestions from someone that has solved this problem. I find very little when searching for this. I am using the Indexing Service Query Form with Standard and Advanced query modes. I am only putting in the numbers. No spe ...Show All

• Windows Forms Documentation / detailed explanation for InitializeComponent

  Hi, I'm currently writing my diploma-thesis. I'm coding a C# project and use VisualStudio 2005. I need to describe the InitializeComponent-Method pretty precisely. Where does it come from What does it do and so on Of course I know all this, but I need some "real" reference like a book, article or the original MSDN-Documentation, simply something I can quote from Any suggestions, links or further info Thanks a lot and take care guys! JS P.S.: English or German language would be great There is no formal documentation on this method because it is not required. The designer itself uses it simply to isolate designer-generated code from user-generated code. The best documentation you'll find is re ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Getting started programming with WIMGAPI

  I'm cross-posting this from the SDK forum. After I posted, I decided this may be a better forum. Take no offense. I'm beginning to work in .NET 2.0 on creating a GUI for imagex.exe / wimgapi.dll. I'm looking for some high-level quick guidance on utilizing wimgapi.dll functionality in a vb.net 2.0 project. I've made an attempt to use the "declare" statement with "lib" pointing to the dll for a few functions in the wimgapi documentation. The project compiles and runs, but nothing happens, no wim files are opened as handles, and I get return codes of "0" for everything. I just took a shot in the dark, but I obviously haven't done it right. Thanks in advance, a little jumpstart could go a long way. Jes ...Show All

  I have started a Quadtree project. It can be downloaded at http://www.codeplex.com/quadtreeload I would be interested in comments on the direction I am taking on the Quadtree DrawableGameComponent. I have included a test program called JoshGameXNA. But, open the QuadtreeComponentLib solution and just set JoshGameXNA project as the startup project. Excuse my C#, but I'm new to it. Any construction comments are welcome. It's seems you may have to click on "more releases" to get to the "Special Build 0.1.1" project. Not sure why..... You need to open the QuadtreeComponentLib Solution, _not_ the JoshGameXNA solution (I should have removed it from the zip:) The JoshGameXNA Project in the QuadtreeComponentLib Solutio ...Show All
