• SQL Server Beginning with SQL Express

  Hi everyone, I want to set a database which will be made of two parts: - One main set of files which is shared among users - Another set of files which is proper to each users and will be mainly used for processing infos. Because I must support Windows 2000 and XP as O/S platforms, I can't use SQL Everywhere. It seems that I'm stuck with SQL Express. My questions are the following: - Can SQL Express manage database files with variable namepath - How can I configure SQL Express so that such a file may reside on a dynamically configurable path, I mean, which would be configured by application Many thanks in advance for your help, Stephane Hi Stephane, There are a couple of ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problems with DataTemplate, Listbox and Binding to SelectedItem

  Hi I'm trying to define a DataTemplate for an enum class. A Listbox containing RadioButton for every enum state appeared to be a common solution and worked so far. The point were I'm getting into trouble is when I try to bind the SelectedItem of a Listbox (which is one of the enum states) to the object which the datatemplate was applied to. My XAML: <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type custScrewing:ScrewDriverState}"> <DataTemplate.Resources> <!-- This data provider provides an array of different ScrewDriverState enums --> <ObjectDataProvider MethodName="GetValues" ObjectType="{x:Type sys:Enum}" x:Key="allScrewDriverStates"> <ObjectDa ...Show All

• .NET Development dll version conflict

  I am using Visual Studio 2003 to develop a project using the open source DotNetNuke portal framework. I have created two projects named Financial and Financial.SqlDataProvider. Both have references to DotNetNuke and Financial.SqlDataProvider has a reference to Financial. When I try to build the solution I get two errors. The first is: Error: The dependency 'CountryListBox, Version=1.0.2182.21387, Culture=neutral' in project 'Financial.SqlDataProvider' cannot be copied to the run directory because it would conflict with dependency 'CountryListBox, Version=1.0.2182.41880, Culture=neutral'. The second is the same but with the version numbers flipped. I have found that removing the DotNetNuke.dll reference from either of my projec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Selective schema comparing

  Is it possible to filter which classes of objects will be compared/synchronised A couple of specifics from a sync I've just done: 1) Schemas and Logins. The development database has a couple of logins which we don't want on the production databases, but I've not seen anyway of telling the schema compare to ignore them. There's also a schema (unused and could be deleted, but...) on the dev database which we don't want to sync 2) My dev databas is SQL 2005 Developer and one of the target databases was SQL2K MSDE. On this database I couldn't do a write updates because I got an error about fulltext enabling the database, which wasn't available at the target. I don't want to check for this anyway.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to name buttons with database field values

  To begin, I know very little about VB express. I started out using VB for apps in excel. I could record macros and copy or edit, but I'm having a little trouble writing code from scratch in VB express. Anyway, here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have about 40 buttons on a user form. I would like for each button's text to be the value of a separate field in a data table (using SQL Server Express) and update when the data table is changed. I have selected all buttons at once and through the data binding option in their properties tied the "text" property to a specific column in my data table. The problem is that when I do this, every button's text contains the first field value in this column. Since the only option when sel ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Persistence Services and DTC

  I'm using a TransactionScope Activity that required me to add a Persistence Service to the runtime ( I understand this) However, when I add the SqlPersistence Service to my runtime, I started getting DTC errors. I'm running a WCF Service hitting the SqlPersistence DB on my local machine accessing data on a separate SQL Server box. Is it a requirement to have DTC enabled on my local machine and the SQL server Is this strictly because I don't have the my local SQL server and the network SQL Server linked Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! So from what you're saying, if the persistence Tables and sp's were in the same DB as my data, this would not be an issue OR Would I still need to enable it on the workstation/server that's runn ...Show All
