• SharePoint Products and Technologies remove culums

  Hi we have created lots of columns in a custom group. We now want to get rid of those. Is there a way to remove them al @ once. Where do the columns 'live' in sharepoint. tnx The columns live in the SQL Server database but it is not recommended that you mess with the database in any way. With that said, there is no way to remove multiple columns at one time from a list. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Explanation of branching and normal workflow

  Can someone describe more about how branching works from a developers perspective Or is there already information about this somewhere that I haven't found This would be very useful for us coming from ClearCase / Subversion / some other version control system. What I really would like to see is an article or blogpost about how two developers working with a project/solution would do to create a branch, let one developer use this branch for a few days while the other is continuing on the normal main branch. After a few days a merge should be done. I would like to see the steps necessary together with an explanation why this is the best way to do it if there is more than one way. Suggested outline: - Assume both developers has thei ...Show All

• SQL Server Confusion about dialog security steps.

  Hi There I have done the following. 2 Servers across the net work Server A and Server B. I have created private keys at each and copied to public keys across. I create an endpoint at each with validation by the certificates. I then create appropriate users and logins at each and import the public certificates with authorization to the users who have send permission on the endpoints. That is transport security sorted and it works. Now from what i have learnt from examples, to setup dialog security i do the following. create a private key in each DB : create certificate Store001DialogPri with subject = 'Store001DialogPri' , start_date = '07/20/2006' active for begin_dialog = on ; go I ...Show All

• Visual C++ A Missing Include?

  Dear Collective Wisdom, I am a C/C++ newbie using Visual C++ 2005 Windows Forms to try to compile a C code project developed (by someone else) in MacIntosh Project Builder.

• Visual C++ basic_ostream::write() formatting bug

  I called the basic_ostream<char> method write(const char_type*, streamsize); and the function seems to be formatting the data I'm sending it. In my case, I sent it a double with the byte values: 0x9d, 0x16, 0xe7, 0xc6, 0xb4, 0x0a, 0xb7, 0x41 but what ended up in my file was: 0x9d, 0x16, 0xe7, 0xc6, 0xb4, 0x0d, 0x0a, 0xb7, 0x41 Looks like the write function interpreted a byte of my double as a '\n' and converted it to a '\r' '\n' pair. This would be correct except that write is an unformatted output function and should not do any conversion - regardless of the open mode's binary flag. (see book "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales - ISBN 0-201-18395-1", p51 for details on the C++ standard). Two action items ...Show All

• SQL Server Repeating data in page header

  (RS 2005 with sp1) I need to show some data (from a stored procedure) at the top of each page, intermixed with page number. What is the best way of doing this Case description: Say for instance an account report. At the top of each page, you have name of the person, page number, account number etc. This information is drawn from a stored procedure, which can return more than one row; one row per account - different account numbers. The body of the report contain statement details. There are different sections, each section is drawn from its own rather complex stored procedures. Currently, I have in the body of the report a List region. This uses the proc that returns name of person, account number. I have hidden text boxes f ...Show All

• Community Chat Automator for Windows

  What I am looking for is something that is equvalent to the OS X Automator for Windows (preferably both XP and Vista). I have a few repatative tasks that I have to perform in my daly work and if I had something like the Automator in OS X for Windows I would be able to script those tasks and save extra clicks and some time every day. For example I would like to copy a word file that I have sitting on my desktop and then once it is copied to that directory I would like to have it e-mailed to a certain person. Right now the best way of doing this that I know of is to add a shortcut to the "Send To" context menu for the folder location that I want the file copied to and then use the "Send To" context menu as my poor man' ...Show All

Scheinkman G'day Alan, I think what MS is saying that creating Team projects includes both object model functions and VS internals ("client plugins") related to SharePoint etc. If I were you I would have left it where it lies.

• Windows Forms Problems with form after closing Word

  I have an app that runs out some reports in Word. Word starts and opens the document on top of my project. When I close Word by clicking on Close box of the Word application, Word disappears , but my application is messed for a couple of seconds - some controls are visible, some of them are not. Looks like some kind of Video problem. Is there any way to avoid such a behavior or does anyone know whats causing this I'll take a guess, without knowing exactly how your app is currently written. I suspect that you creating a Word component within your application that spawns Word. You must have controls or other objects that are related to this instance of Word. By closing Word, those objects are poi ...Show All

  At my work ... sometimes i hear people say ... that it's bad/sucks .. to use private members because it is like using Global variables ....

• Visual C# overloading == operator in c# fails checking for null values

  Hi, I have developed one class called CProductInfo providing == and != operator features. I have one problem. When I use this class in my program, say CProductInfo product = null; and later, when i check for emptiness, if (product==null) it returns false as if the product instance is not empty.
