• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem Purging mailbox from within Exchange 2003

  We are having an issue trying to purge a few left over mailboxes from a recovery effort. What we have noticed is as follows: -the account that the mailbox was tied to no longer exsists. -when you try to either reconnect or purge the mailbox I get the following error.    "The operation cannot be performed because this mailbox was already reconnected to an existing user." ID no. c1034ad6" We need a way to either reconnect this mailbox to a new account or purge it off the system.  I can provide more information if needed...

  Hi, I have Windows 2003 on my development machine at work.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF bug in message deserialization?

  Hello We have an interop scenario where a WCF webservice is called by Oracle. Thus we don't have the comfort of using Svcutil.exe to generate a client - instead the SOAP messages have to be built manually . In the present case we are passing an array of items (item is of type "complex type" which has many properties) to a webservice operation. If the XML of such an item array does not completely conform to the schema in the WSDL, WCF seems not to be able to deserialize it into an array of .NET objects. That sounds feasible so far. But it's unexplainable for me that WCF does not throw an exception and/or emit this deserialization fault in one of its logs, instead we just get an empty array in the .NET world. Or is it just us ...Show All

• .NET Development .net framework 2.0 and sql & vwd installation driving me to drink-or worse!

  PLEASE can someone help me, i'm lost in world i don't understand, and time's running out! I was merrily building my database in access, then discovered it's no good for the web application i need, so installed .net framework 2.0 and sql. Then discovered visual basic after watching a snippet, so downloaded that too, and then came accross Visual web dev. which seemed like a great idea. greedy i know, but i am new to this database and developing. In order to test the db app, as it will act 'live' i installed IIS. this sent things wonky (at least i think it was this), and instead of uninstalling IIS, i stupidly uninstalled ecerything else in the wrong order and have now buggered up my .net framework 2.0, as it will neither uninstall, nor ...Show All

• SQL Server How to specify datatypes for Excel columns?
