• SQL Server full uninstall of MSSQL 2005 Ent SP1

  Hi, I am facing a serious problem with the unproper uninstall. I have installed MSSQL 2005 Enterprise and created an Active Directory at the server. I have removed the AD and wanted to uninstall SQL 2005. I was not able to uninstall it fully. I have reinstalled it several times, just to tryying to remove the registry entries. Is there a solution / tool or a document describing, how I can fully manually remove MS SQL 2005 from a server I have already installed SP1. Dejan Hi Sam, I am sorry for my late reply.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Please Add Non-Generic DrawUserPrimitives and DrawIndexedUserPrimitives methods.

  I posted this request in the Suggestion tool as well. Btw- where is the link to actually view the contents of the Bug reports, and Suggestions You'd think that would be handy from the connect.microsoft.com site, but I can't find it. Add the method: Device.DrawUserPrimitives(Type vertexType, PrimitiveType type, int count, Array vertexData); and a similar non-generic method for Indexed primitives. I have a rendering system that captures rendering calls, and retains the call information. Later on, it sorts all of the calls in order to minimize state changes before execution. This is a very commen scenario. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT to call generic methods (in a generic fashion) when you only know the vertex type, and have a un-typed array. For ...Show All

• Windows Forms Thread to create winform instance

  I am creating a form(FORM1) in c#  that has multiple hyperlink. On Click of each hyperlink another form (FORM2) should be opened up and update picturebox value after every 100 ms.

• Visual Studio Team System TSql Tests Timeout

  I am writing tests for procedures and the tests have pre-test and post-test actions that may run for well over a minute, and I periodically receive the error "Failed <TestName> <TestProjectName> Sql Error: 'Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.' (Severity 11, State 0)" when I run the tests. I typically receive the error about 30 seconds after starting the test.

Gabe, Yes, you can increase the sql timeout that i ...Show All

  The Windows SDK provides a WCF Chat application using the netPeerTcpBinding. The sample employs a custom resolver. Could we use PNRP service and make this work instead. I tried it and it doesnt seem to work. I know I am missing some basics of p2p here - i n general, what are the ways in which I can use PNRP service with WCF apps, without the need of custom resolvers Thanks, Manoj I tried the same, but the sample I created doesnt seem to work. I am sure I am doing something wrong here. I am posting a code I tried inline (pardon me for this). I created two identical console applications as peers.

• SQL Server Distinct Count Grand Total issue SSAS 2005 (bug ?)

  Hi, I recently noticed in Excel and OWC and BI studio browser - that reports that use distinct count measures return incorrect Grand totals with row/column axis filters/selections. When the selections are more than 1 level deep it does not take the filter into consideration and returns a larger Grand total - as if the filter never took place. I have Sql Server 2005 Developers edition with both SP1 and Post-Sp1 hotfix (build 9.0.2153) I have successfully replicated this in AdventureWorks sample easily. Here are the steps: In the Cube browser just pull in the Date.Calendar hierarchy to the row axis and the Order Count measure (from SalesOrders folder) .
