• Smart Device Development Accessing POOM from C#

  Using C# in Visual Studio 2003 .Net I'm trying to access the POOM Contacts list. Long ago I built a simple program with eVB to do something similar but after reading dozens of links I still can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone shed some light Robert W. Vancouver, BC Ilya, Yes, I have been made aware of that one. I thought there was a much simpler way to do it than having to go to the extent of buying a 3rd party toolkit. Also, my solution must work on all Pocket PCs and SmartPhones, old and new alike. I'm not clear that InTheHand does. Robert ...Show All

• Visual C++ Program database manager mismatch

  I have been working with vc++ express for about a month, and all my projects were fine but now whenever I compile anythingi get the following error: fatal error C1902: Program database manager mismatch; please check your installation I searched for a solution on Google and MSDN but neither showed anything i could make sense of.

  I am using the March 2007 Orcas CTP and have created the EDM model using the wizard. Now, I want some changes so I am tweaking the CSDL, SSDL and MSL files by hand.

• SQL Server how to sort this mess out (owners and permissions)

  Hi, I've been asked to sort out a mess as follows: two dbs on one server... first db has a user called 'bob'.. that's the login on the server and also the login name on the db in question. this db has several SP's owned by 'bob' which need to copied to the second db. Here's where the problem starts. Somehow, this second db has the standard users it needs, however the db User has a LoginName of 'bob'.. So basically if I try and create a user of 'bob' on the second server which will then allow me to copy these SP's across it says it already exists.. but if I just go ahead and try and copy the SP's it says the User does not exist. Just to clarify what I mean.. I go into the 2nd db using EM. go to users: th ...Show All

• Visual C# Interfaces oversold???

  First, I must admit that I am a C# novice and so I probably don’t have as much knowledge and experience on the subject of interface as most of you guys reading this post. After reading a few books on C# and interface design, I still can’t see and understand the real power of interface unless of course, we are talking about interfaces as a powerful concept in OOP ‘only’ and not as a powerful concept in the general sense. When I was first learning OOP I was quite suspicious about the ‘excellent features’ that OOP claims to be able to deliver to the world and I was right. For example, in reality OOP offers very little if any, code reuse. I am now having the same suspicion about interfaces even though I see a lot nice words used to d ...Show All

• SQL Server How to show duplicates in reports

  I'm trying to create a report in Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services where it will display duplicates rows in the reports. I'm unable to find the property that enables this. I would need something like HideDuplicates = false, but that is not the way it is intended to be used. If HideDuplicates is left blank, it seems to still hide duplicate values if the preceding row matches. The report is a crosstab type, so we are using a Matrix for the report item. I'll illustrate with a simple example:  This is what we currently get: Catagory Class Detail Type 1 A Item 1 B Item 2 Item 3 Type 2 A Item 4 B Item 5   This is what we want: Cat ...Show All

• Visual Basic ClickOnce deployment of VB6 exe/.NET COM components

  The information about the toolkit claims I can use clickonce deployment for vb6 apps with .NET COM components built with the toolkit. I have found how to deploy a VB6 app with a VB6 COM component but that does not work with the .NET COM component. I checked the toolkit help under How to: Deploy a Hybrid Application and from the information there it does not appear that clickonce can be used. Am I missing something Per InteropForm Toolkit Help: Registering the .NET Assemblies The .NET assemblies you create as part of a Hybrid Application will be called by VB6 COM objects.  Therefore they must be registered as COM objects.  .NET assemblies are not COM objects, of course, so th ...Show All
