• SQL Server Connect to external DataBase Via SQLExpress??

  Hi again... I guess this is yet another newbie question (Sorry if its been asked before!) If I have an IP address for an external SQL DB with valid User & Pass... Can I connect to it using SQLExpress on my machine If so can anyone point me towards how to do it, or run through it below (In easy steps as I'm dumb ) You can use Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) to connect to other servers also. In Object Explorer window of SSMS, you have a Connect Combo in Top Left corner of Object Explorer window. Steps are as follows (a) Press on Connect (b) Select Database Engine - You will get a "Connect To Server " window (c) In this window Give IP Address in Server Name Text Box (d) give ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Management Studio Express setup

  I'm trying to install the SSMSE vor SQLEXPRESS, but I get the message Setup has dedected a version of SQL Server Management Studio on this machine.... etc. I have removed the SQL 2000 Enterprise manager , but the message still pops up. Looking for a good soul now for helping me out Thanks Have you installed Management Studio of a lower version Would you check Control Panel --> Add/Remove program, Click "change" on SQL Server 2005 and see the report. Then you can make sure whether SQL Server Management Studio is still existing. Or you can check Start --> All Programs --> SQL Server 2005 to make sure whether the menu item still exists. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drawing on pictureBox

  Hi, I am making a scrolling text with transparent background. However, the pictureBox1 seem to draw nothing and the string is drawn on Form1. Any idea Hi, you wired your Paint event in a way that the drawing is actually happening on the form, not the picturebox. To draw the text on a picturebox, modify your code like: public partial class Form1 : Form { private String drawString = "Sample Text"; private Font drawFont = new Font("Arial", 31); private SolidBrush drawBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White); private int textX = 0; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.pictureBox1.Paint += new System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler(this.pictureBox1_Paint); ...Show All

• Visual Basic Mshtml size problem

  I am using Microsoft.Mshtml.dll in my project, but it is to big for my app. To simplify my application is only 60 KB big in size, and the mshtml.dll is 7.3 MB big. My application doesnt work if I dont copy the file localy.

• Visual Basic Accessing and displaying data - so many choices! What's right for me?

  I have been working with Access and VBA a long time. I've made forays into VB3, 4, 5 and 6 when required, enough to be comfortable. So now, VB.NET. Working in Access, I'd probably be done already! But I wouldn't learn anything new and would be one step closer to obsolescence. I need to write an application for viewing vehicle Equipment Work Records (EWRs). These records are essentially maintenance logbook entries - they cannot be edited, they cannot be deleted...and I have no control over how they are created. What I have is an Access 97 database, and a specification for the delimited textfiles that will start arriving with the new year. The database has three tables, containing three years worth of data, about 3,500 EWRs. I would li ...Show All

• Windows Forms how can I best deliver the HUGE .NET 2.0 download to customers without causing them to quit!!??!?

  I am writing a chat application. I am confused by a few things and hoping anybody can shed some insight. 1. How many users are running .NET 2.0 vs 1.x 2. If your exe requires .NET and the user doesnt have it installed WHAT is the best way to get the user to install the 25mb .NET files without freaking file without laughing at you and quitting. 3. Is there not a LIGHT VERSION that isnt so large and doesnt take 12 MINS to install on my FX 57. Has anybody tried a web deployement FRUSTRATED. 1) well, some people are using both. I would say about 50% of people are using .NET 2.0. .NET 3.0 will be as standard in Vista, Windows XP SP2/MCE2005 and WS2003 have .NET 1.1 built in I believe. 2) Well, you can ...Show All

• .NET Development TableNewRow event doesn't fire

  Any idea why the TableNewRow event doesn't fire in an example such as the following DataTable dt = new DataTable ( "Test" ); dt.TableNewRow += new DataTableNewRowEventHandler (dt_TableNewRow); OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand ( "SELECT * FROM ... ", _connection); using ( OleDbDataReader r = cmd.ExecuteReader()) dt.Load(r); Kind of annoying, as I'd hoped to use this event to keep track of progress as data trickles in. The query takes about 20 minutes to return all data, due to a slow network connection. I'd really like to be able to keep the user informed as data accumulates. Any other suggestions Please use RowChanged event for DataTable.Load( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mathamaticians please !

  I want to resize an image using a NumberUpDown control, Here's what I have, Dim pcent As Integer pcent = 100 / nudPercent.Value pbxResize.Width = pbxResize.Image.Width / pcent pbxResize.Height = pbxResize.Image.Height / pcent If I enter 50 then 100 / 50 = 2 so the image width and height is divided by 2 = 50% If I enter 25 then 100 / 25 = 4 so the image width and height is divided by 4 = 25% you can see that this does not work for 76% for example 100 / 76 returns 1 which gives 100% so how do I resize the picture by the number in the NumberUpDown box.
