• Visual Studio Express Editions Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

  I've looked at the forum threads where the above error message is being reported, but they are much more complicated than when I get it... A simple VB 2005 Express project - Rename the form, rename the 'Assembly name', rename the 'Root namespace'... Bang! Even as I'm typing this there are more errors being flagged - I'm not doing anything! Double click the form... there it is again. Try to load the code for the form (I've not added anything yet)... there it is again. I've uninstalled VB 2005 express and reinstalled it. Anyone got any idea what's happening I now have 3 tabs - frmMain.vb, frmMain.vb [Design] and the solution properties. Whenever I select a different tab I get the same error... (I'm typing this and another one has ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with OneClick Deployment

  When I publish my application to the web, and then try and install it, insteadof it instaling I just get a page of XML displayed. I have done a simple project (a button on a form) and tried with this and it does the same, See Here . It works fine if I publish to a local or network folder. I have tried everything, with no luck, so can any body help. Hi, I think this may not be as simple as that for me. Firstly because I believe the server is running on Windows, and it has a _vti_pvt folder in there, so I think this approach wouldn't work for me. Also, it's not me who has the problem, but the other people that tries to install the application. Anyway, glad your problem is solved, and I  ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql 2005: Encrypting "data in motion" between client and server

  Right-clicking "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" under the Sql 2005 Server Configuration Manager I find the "Force Encryption" option. Right-clicking the SQL Native Client Configuration, Client Protocols, I find "Force Protocol Encryption" I believe these can be used together to force the connection between a client (running the SQLNC client) and a sql 2005 server to be encrypted. In other words, the data "in motion" can be encrypted. 1. Is my understanding correct 2. Do I need to use a certificate to make this work TIA, Barkingdog Raul, Thanks for the info and I will read the articles. I was talking to ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Clustering 2000 vs. 2005

  I am getting ready to have a SQL Server failover cluster setup. I have used SQL 2000 for years, mostly for DTS and related database activities, but NOT in a cluster. I have used SQL 2005 for about one year but not intensively, and NOT in a cluster. We need to set up a cluster. We are setting up a DELL EMC solution. I am going to hire a consultant to set it up, including the SQL part. My questions are should I use SQL 2000 or 2005 (I don't know if one is better than the other for clustering. Both are supported by our vendor for the application we are running.) How hard is it to maintain a cluster if one hasn't had experience in that area before How should I prepare Any opinions or experiences that you would like to share would be h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Retain data during Deploy or Writing Schema changes

  We have a database project where changes to tables are constant. When the changes are saved we (the developers) need to deploy or write the schema changes to our local database to work against. This worked fine until we started have lots of test data. With the test data is a pain because if you deploy you lose your data and you can't Write Schema changes to table which have data in them. Besides manually scripting each table, is there a way to retain data while deploying or writing schema changes How is everyone else handling this Hi Darin, I've started using VS Team System a couple weeks ago and DB Pro as well. We have had the same interogation and started making some tests. What we get is that th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3d Resource creation - Modeling and Animating

  Hi, I'm looking for a good application to model/skin and animate with. I tried the SoftImage ModTools, but I couldn't figure out how to make the DirectX Export functionality to work correctly. Does anyone have any other suggestions (I'm looking for free apps, as I'm just a hobbiest atm) Thanks, Terry Well, nothing better than 3dsMax, it comes with a X file exporter that supports Mesh Skinning animation. I know you’re looking for free apps, but you can use an evaluation version to learn the basic principles and then choose another one. Try to find out if the gMax also supports this feature. ...Show All

• SQL Server 'sa' User Map error

  Hello all, I'm having a problem with my sa account, we just migrated from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005 and 1 of our production applications is failing on the sa login. I checked the 'User Map' setup to the 'sa' account and the databases that need accessing aren't mapped. When I try to add the map, I get error "Cannot use the special principal 'sa'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15405)". I get the same error when trying to remove a user map for sa (there are a couple db's already mapped), and I don't remember how I mapped them in the first place, but it certainly isn't working now!

• Visual C++ Converted from C: How to make it accessable from other .Net programs?

  Hi there, I am familar with .Net in generial but really new in C++ .Net. Now I am charged with a task of converting an existing C program into .Net so that it can be accessed by our other .net components. Due to the complexity of the C program, re-witting is not an option for us. That's why C++ comes up as the tool for the task. I created a new C++ .Net project (class library project) and then created a new class file in it. Then I pasted my C code into the class. I also loaded all the header files needed into the project. After a bit of struggle I finally got it compiled! I can also see the DLL file generated. Big achievement, right While, only if I can figure out how to use it. What I want to do now is that I need to make this c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista creating registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE accessible by all

  Hello, Basically I have an application (dll) that allows admins to configure a system wide configuration that is accessible (read-only) by normal users. The system wide configuration is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. The code of course works on Windows 2000/XP but not on Vista because of, as I suspect, the fact that the information is stored in the virtual store under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. When the admin stores the new configuration and a normal user attempts to use the configuration (in a different security context) they receive a unknown registry key error as the information is, of course, not available. As I understand reading through the forum setting the "run-level" using a manifest file allows me to skip the virtualization and w ...Show All
