• SQL Server .net and Sql Express

  Hi all, I have written a simple .net class to call sql functions like create subscription and sync replication. I am using merge replication. My Question is this:-- my class calls Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.dll. On a machine that has SQL Express loaded it works but on a machine that does not have sql express it fails. I have made a setup project and deployed my "service". I added all references into the project and all works well on a machine that has sql express. We are running a network with 1 machine that has sql express and other machines that plug into this sql express. Is there a sql express runtime setup or do I have to load sql express on each machine. OR Am I deploying my class wrong. my setup project has the Micros ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Policies: Purpose of IPolicyExportExtension and IPolicyImportExtension interfaces

  I would like to extend the WSDL contract with some custom policy. For this purpose I implemented the interface IPolicyExportExtension and the method ExportPolicy. This method is called when the metadata is generated and it workss fine. My question is more related to interface IPolicyImportExtension. Who calls (and when) the method ImportPolicy What is the purpose of this method When you have one party emitting (exporting) policy then you surely want to have the other parties using and understanding (importing) the policy. Try looking at the type hierarchy in Reflector and it should open up your eyes. Cheers, Christian ...Show All

• Visual Basic Wait a moment!

  In VB6 there was a wait command that would halt the program untill a button was pressed, or some other type of event would restart the programme. Is this still available in VB.Net Unless your code is telling the program to do something (through a timer, for example), the program by default will not do anything until it receives an event. Using Sleep() in your main thread will not help you if you are waiting for a button push. If you have a process that you want to pause, program it to 'stop' at your predefined point, then monitor a flag, waiting for it to be set. Set the flag in your button push. Alternatively you could throw up a messagebox ("Push me to continue"). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System External link to Shelveset properties dialog

  Hello, We're using shelvesets for peer code reviews, and it would be useful to be able to launch the ShelveSet dialog for a specified shelveset name & owner in Team Explorer from an external program (preferably from just a hyperlink). Is this possible without creating lots of extra coding using tf.exe does seem to work, but I get errors unless I'm running it from within my workspace on my machine which makes it difficult to script. Oh well, it's not that urgent, I thought that because the URI links for changesets, work items, shelvesets etc looked like they may have had a protocol handler pointing to visual studio I could have just added a hyperlink to it. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA in Internet Explorer?

  I was surprised to find out that XNA doesn't work in Internet Explorer as a WinForm Control. I know I must be smoking crack, but somewhere a long the line I got the impression that XNA would enable a 3D environment in Internet Explorer. If we can put Ink on the Web, http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx quickid=0512062 , then I think we should be able to put a 3D environment on the web as well Anyone know of a way to get XNA or Direct X working as an element of Internet Explorer Thanks, Johnny no i am not update any .Net security it call the harware to render and the hardware render to a memory buffer and then i use win32 blitbilt to copy the final buffer on to the usercontrol ...Show All

• SQL Server Vertical Database Design

  What kind of luck have you guys had with vertical database design I'm working with a front end developer who wishes to use a vertical design for Items and item attributes, as the client appears to have a firm requirement that new attributes can be added at any time. the developer has what I am begining to think of as "magic code" for importing the data into the tables. He's apparently going to write this in .NET, and plans for it to know the data type (varchar, etc.) when importing it - and also allow for the script to dynamically add attributes. THis sounds fun, however, the more stuff we get, the worse the database will perform, I'm thinking - only it will be exponentially slower than a conventional design. In addi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using a ComboBox for autocomplete

  It seems Textbox does not support autocomplete (or is TextComposition used for this ). So I'd like to use a combobox as input field for autocomplete text. Problem is, my data contains 114964 items, and if I open the dropdownpanel of the ComboBox it will eat up all my memory trying to show all these items at once (== no good). Can anyone point me to a working example or some hints how to do this, how to have autocompletion in WPF I'd love it to be a combobox so you can select the few items left, or even better it would show a small popdownpanel with the next four or so items, just like IEs address bar. thanks, Sam     Hi, Sam, if your data model has 114964 items, and you want to dis ...Show All
