• .NET Development Personal Website in Visual Studio 2005 - change default ASPNETDB to my own

  Hi all, I created a personal website using the wizard in visual studio 2005 and want to change the default dbs (ASPNETDB and Personal) to ones I create in sql server 2005.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Navigate

  Hi, Using the August CTP-bits I tied executing the following statement: Query<Category> categories = db.GetQuery<Category>("SELECT VALUE c FROM Categories AS c WHERE NAVIGATE(c, NorthwindLib.Category_Product).ProductName LIKE 'A%'"); Which results in a mapping exception: The Member or Property 'Category' on the 'C' side is not present on the 'O' side. Why Regards, Jesper Jesper, I assume you want to get the categories that have products starting with ‘A’. If you want to do that at the object layer using ObjectQuery<T>, here’s how: ObjectQuery < Category > categories = db.CreateQuery< Category >( "SELECT VALUE p F ...Show All

• SQL Server Subscription sends 2 emails

  We have SQL server 2005 Reporting Services SP1. In Report Manager I have a shared subscription that runs every hour between 8am and 6pm (I created the shared subscription in Report Manager, then modified it in Sql Server Management Studio to run the hours I wanted). I have a second shared schedule that runs Tuesday and Friday at 7am. For 2 separate report subscriptions - one uses the hourly schedule and the other uses the 2-day schedule, the first time they run during the day it sends 2 email - after that it sends only 1 email, as it should. I created a subscription to email a report when the report content is refreshed from a report snapshot. In Properties...Execution, I selected to render this report from a report execution snapshot, an ...Show All

• Community Chat Is MS trying to throw away menu bar?

  In IE7, classic menu bar is disabled by default. In Office 2007, there is not menu bar at all. Also the traditional toolbar is gone. I can't find a way to create my own custom toolbar too. What's happening I know menu bar is very classic and not pretty, but it is one single place that I am 100% sure that I can get all the features from a program. I don't want to lose it.

  Hi, silly question, but does 'SandCastle' work with the XML comments in a VB GUI application I ask because when I tried, I get the following error (which may or may not be related to the fact that my assembly is a reasonably complicated VB GUI app).

• Visual Studio Team System Browsing to team project

  Hi All, I'am new user of team foundation server. I ran into a problem where i stored my solution under a team project in the wrong way.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help! What Is An Interface?

  I have been thinking about this for 2 days now..and still cant find any satisfactory answers. Anyways..... I know that an interface contains only the Signature/Defination of a Method but not its Implementation. eg. Interface IFace { Void someMethod(); } class SomeClass : IFace { void method() { //Method Defination } So Is this right What I could understand from all the Books that I have read is that By using Interface we have to Implement the Method. but this Code works too. class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { Hashtable ht= new Hashtable (); IDictionaryEnumerator Ide = ht.GetEnumerator(); while (Ide.MoveNext()) { //Some Method } } ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How do I get the notification when the active tab is changed?

• Visual Studio Team System What is "citizinship mindset" ?

  I have read this page: http://guides.brucejmack.biz/MSF%20Agile%20Beta%202%20PT/Wss/Process%20Guidance/Supporting%20Files/Mindsets.htm But still don't understand what "citizinship mindset" is.
