• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows SDK RTM Help problem

  I have Windows SDK RTM (6000.0.0) installed on Windows Vista RC2. Initially I did a full install, but when I ran out of space on the system drive, I hit ' Change ' from Programs and Features and removed the documentation for .NET 3.0 Now I can no longer launch Windows SDK Documentation. Whenever I try to launch it, it fails with the message " Microsoft Document Explorer cannot be shown because the specified help collection 'ms:help://MS.MSSDK.1033' is invalid ". Is there a way I can fix this without having to reinstall Windows SDK (I no longer have enough space on my system drive to permit a full installation) Try running Repair for your installation. From 'Change' you'll see the Maintenance screen. Click the 'R ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Person Column in Lists

  posted this over in general QA and thought it might go here better: Using MOSS and the BDC, we have the capability to add Business Data as columns in a list. How would I go about creating a "People" type in my BDC that pulls the data from the user profiles in MOSS What I would like to do is have a drop down or search screen for selecting a person from the profile store instead of keying the information into a contact list and then having the information be out of date , etc... It would be much easier to just allow them to select a person and pull the data from there. They would also get the "Presense" pawn next the persons name etc.. which would be very useful. Does this sound possible Has anyone done this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Filtering a datagrid view

  I have two datagridviews (A & B)filled by 2 different datasets and I want to filter datagridview B based on cell X on the current row of the datagridview, any sugestions on how I can do this I read through the documentation and the properties of the datagrid but nothing poped out at me as the correct property..... Jankowiak It's a difficult question to answer directly with such limited information but have you tried looking at DataViews i.e. DefaultView is a property of a DataTable and you can set the RowFilter property which is a psudo-sql expression as a string. From this view you could then utilise the ToTable() method and bind that to a control. Any help ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Caching

  In a test app, I've noticed (by logging the times to execute) that it appears SQL Server 2005 is caching the results of queries (no client-side caching is being used). Some questions if I may... Is it possible to know how long/how many queries will be cached Is setting such caching a database setting Can longer-term caching priorities be set by configuration Is it possible send a command to the database (on startup) to preload the cache with certain data Thanks! Andy, What you are observing is most likely SQL Server's caching of data pages used in query execution, not the query results. One way to see this is to first execute DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to clear all data pages out of cache ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying data thru grid

  I'm migrating an application VB6 to VB.NET. No its not a question about upgrade. In VB6, a third party grid was used to display data. I'm trying to use datagrid to display data. But to use Datagrid, I need to extract data from a Datatable. Is there any other possible way to add data to a Datagrid As I wont be able to add a new table. I dont think you can do this in .NET 1.1 (VS2003) but in .NET 2.0, you can do the above that I had stated plus direct additions/modifications to the datagridview: dim myValues() as Object = { "hello", "1" } Me .theDataGridView.Column.Add("ColumnName", "HeaderName") Me .theDataGridView.Rows.Add(myValues) this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Console App blows up when I try to publish it. (GenerateApplicationManifest path too long)

  My console app was working perfectly in debug mode through the IDE, but when I went to publish it for deployment on the server, out of nowhere I got 2 messages and an error.I am using DAAB 2, and I have the common, data, data.configuration DLLs referenced. I have another app which is a VSTO app, which after much effort works fine. I compared my config files and they virtually identical, so why am I getting the messages on 1 and not the other. (Deployment is a real SOB). Anyway, I I got 2 messages and an error as follows. Any ideas would be extremely helpful. I have also posted the top of my app.config file.

• Visual Studio .hpp header files

  In the "Add new item" dialog for C++ you can choose (among others) to add ".cpp" or ".h" files to the current project. What I'm missing is a ".hpp" C++ header file (for example also Boost uses the same extension to clearly make a distinction between C and C++ headers). Is it possible to add such a new item to the dialog myself Hi JIm, This is certainly doable. You just need to do something similar to what VC does for that HFile.h template in the VC\VCProjectItems directory. You'll want to place your empty template file (HFile.HPP for example) in that directory, then add an entry to the NewItems.vsdir in the VC\VCNewItems directory. Note, the stuff in that ...Show All

• SQL Server Log Shipping Failover / Failback Question

  Hello all, I'm about to setup Log Shipping in our SQL Server 2000 environment. I will have the primary server, one standby server, and the witness server in this setup. I understand the process of failover and the stored procedures needed to make this happen, but my main question is about failback. Once the standby server has assumed the primary role, will log shipping be automatically configured to start flowing from the new primary server to the old primary server, or will I have to go back and setup log shipping from the new primary server to the old primary server Thanks for any help or insight you can provide on this subject!
