• SQL Server how to build a sql server instance in the network using sql express?

  Hi, how to build a sql server instance in the network using sql express thank you. Have a look at the install documentation and books only for the setup command line switches, you should be able to get the data there to set up the instance, Then just do the install using the net setup config, you may have to add a setup.ini file to the same directory as the installer. (At least that is how we did it with MSDE). ...Show All

• SQL Server Backing up through VS2005

  Hi, not sure I have should ask this in here or in the VS forums - but here goes anyway! My vb app is written using VS2005 with an SQL database. I'm now distributing this to users to use with SQL Express. It's hard enough explaining to them how to attach the database without going into the backup routines etc! So what I'd like to do is to have a "backup" button in my app, that backsup the database, trancates the log files & then shrinks the files. Is this possible This shouldn't be too hard. You can just call the backup command from your application. Regards, Matt Hollingsworth Program Manager Microsoft SQL Server ...Show All

  Hi,   My configuration is following:                  Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition                  Windows 2000 SP4                  Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (Dec 2004)   After installing Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK, the only version which seemed to be compatible with Windows 2000, I tried to check out if my installation was OK and certainly if VC++ 2005 could "communicate" with that DirectX version installed.   I tried to include "using Microsoft::DirectX" instruction ...Show All

• Windows Forms MonthCalendar event not firing after losing focus

  I have a dynamically created MonthCalendar control inside of a Menu.  When I first expand the menu, and the calendar control is revealed, I can click on the dates inside of the calendar and the event handler fires.  However, as soon as I close the menu, and come back again, the event handler no longer is getting called when I make a new date selection. Also, the same behavior when using a DateTimePicker, as is with the MonthCalendar. MonthCalendar cal1 = new MonthCalendar (); cal1.DateSelected += new DateRangeEventHandler (cal1_DateSelected); void cal1_DateSelected( object sender, DateRangeEventArgs e) { try { MonthCalendar cal1 = ( MonthCalendar )sender; if (cal1 != null ) { / ...Show All

• SQL Server Final Model

  I am creating a report model and have to keep going back and forth between VS2005 and Report Builder to see what the "Final" report is going to look like. I am using folders to group together some really nasty list of fields, denormalizing lookup tables, etc. Is there any way to see this without having to reload Report Builder each time I have thought about an XSLT for the SMDL, but that is some seriously ugly XML (especially with the denormalizations). R If you leave RB open, create a new report based on some other model, then create a report on the model you're working on again, it will clear the cache and you will see your changes. Inside Model Designer, you can edit the Expression prop ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Detecting a controller button press?

  I'm using the following code to toggle my grid on/off at runtime: if ( GamePad .GetState( PlayerIndex .One).Buttons.Y == ButtonState .Pressed) grid1.ShowGrid = !grid1.ShowGrid; But it's badly flawed, in that the Y button is "Pressed" every time the button is down (eg. if I hold it down for 1 second, it would toggle 60 times). How can I reliably find if a button was pressed (eg. it's initial down state), without having to keep track of Up/Down states for every button myself If you've got a wired controller, it works on the PC. I'm able to write code to do what I want, I just think this is something that belongs in the XNA Framework rather than everyone have to create their own. Almost ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to leave a DataGridView (TextBoxColumn) in edit mode when switch to a modeless from?

  Hi I have a UI that uses a DataGridView bound to a datasource. I am trying to implement a UI where the user, while editing a content in a TextBox cell, should be allowed to select a text item from a modeless form. When the item is selected in the modeless form, the code has to insert that item's text into the text box cell that the user is editing at the current insertion point. When the user starts editing in the cell, I display a modeless form using 'form.Show()' using the following EditControlShowing event handler: private void dataGridViewItems_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e) { if (modelessForm == null) { modelessForm = new ModelessForm(); ...Show All
