• SQL Server NS Data

  Where is the NS Data being stored, in the ADF it defines tables and queries and such but does not declare a place to put them (a specific DB rather than just a server) Also, how can you create subsriptions/subscribers through T-SQL thanks in advanced Hi Geoff - See if these blog postings help... http://sqlns.blogspot.com/2006/01/using-existing-database-for-our-sqlns.html http://sqlns.blogspot.com/2005/10/creating-subscribers-in-2005.html HTH...

• SQL Server Ongoing problem connecting to SQL Server

  Hi, I am getting the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) whilst trying to connect to a database on SQL Server Express from an ASP .NET application. I'm trying to connect locally for testing purposes, so there seems to be little relevance in the "not allowing remote connections" error. I was kindly helped out the other week by Jimmy Wu who gave me links to some resources to read. This allowed me to connect without an error via th ...Show All

• Windows Forms A quick DataGridView question

  Is there a way to set the back color of all cells in a DGV without having to iterate through them one at a time ie. Is there a command that will affect all the cells at once Thanks... Setting the default cell style will work on all cells that have not had a different style specifically applied to them. If you have already changed the backcolor of some cells then they will not be affected by a change to the default cell style backcolor. If you need to change them all to another colour you may have little option other than to iterate through all the cells but beware of setting the styles on a large number of cells as this can be inefficient as it creates a cell style object for every cell. Even just acc ...Show All

• SQL Server federated query architecture advice

  I'm involved in a project building a federated query app. There is an ASP.NET web app talking to a central SQL Server 2005 db. Users input query parameters to the web ap, the request is submitted as a stored procedure to a central db, and from there it is distributed to the selected remote SQL Server 2005 db servers with similar but not necessarily identical schemas where the actual data resides. We must wait for all servers to execute the query and return the results, then aggregate those query results and present them to the web app user. The question is, what is the best way to design this with Server 2005 We need to be able to initiate multiple concurrent queries, then wait (up to some max timeout value) for all responses to ret ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions formating columns of a datagridview

  does anyone know how to format especific columns of a datagridview in windows forms with values already in it for example, I wanna format the first row to #.## but it doesn’t do anything (instead of 5.45444 I wanna show only 5.45 in a existing cell DataGridview1.Columns.Add( "value" , "value" ); DataGridview1.Columns.Add( "name" , "name" ); String [] row = new String [2]; row[0] = "5.45444" ; row[1] = "test" ; DataGridview1.Rows.Add(row); DataGridview1.

• Windows Forms How to tell (event) the user changed a bounded value

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems implementing a skybox

  Perhaps somebody with more experience could help me. I want to implement the skybox example from the DirectX SDK (Samples/C++/Direct3D/StateManager) and I've copied and renamed the following files (skybox01.x, skybox02.dds and skybox03.fx) to my project folder and have added them to the content pipeline. But I don't get it managed to load the skybox with her texture and set the camera to the center of the box, I think because I don't know how to handle the effects of the *.fx file and how to transform the box correct. (I'm new to XNA and I only have tried out the simple 3D examples with BasicEffects from the help files so far.) So if somebody has the time to show me how to handle these files correctly, I would be very glad. (You c ...Show All

• Visual Studio New Web Site dialog has no templates

  Hello. I was trying to create a new web site in Visual Studio 2005 Standard when I noticed that the dialog box it usually presents for what kind of website you want to create is completely blank. I can set a path to save the site, and I can select the file system but I cannot select a language. I have had this problem before and I had to do an uninstall using the VS2005 product key and completely reinstall. It was working fine then boom its gone again. I would like to not have to continually reinstall visual studio.

• Visual C++ Class not showing in Class View

  In a VC++ project, I have a class CMyClass. It is defined in MyClass.h and implemented in MyClass.cpp, in the usual way. When I look at Class View, CMyClass is not listed. If I use Class View's search for CMyClass, it finds CMyClass::CMyClass and CMyClass::~CMyClass only. Why isn't CMyClass shown in Class View I want to add some member functions, and need to have its properties window to do this. Immediately after I did this, VS stopped handling dependencies correctly. When I change source C++ files, recompile only that file, and run (F5), the old code is used, even though the debugger displays the new object, even at the assembly level. The only way I can get a solution up to date is to clean and r ...Show All
