• SQL Server Domain Groups and Windows Authentication

  Hi We are planning implementation of a currently Sybase db. The users (about 3600) will be i 5 domains and we want single sign-on through trusted connections. We want to use the database roles to define different user access on databases and tables. There will be around 2000 roles. We also want to add the users directly to the database roles without having to grant each user database access. So I thought that I could add the user groups from all domains and then add each domain user account to specified database roles. Am I right here or what The Windows authentication will lookup or check the users kerberos ticket during logon process and allow logon. The documentation here is weak and I assume it's a windows authentication quest ...Show All

• SQL Server Auditing Status of a Trigger in SQL Server 2005

  I need to know when a DML trigger changes state (from enabled to disabled, and disabled to enabled). I **assume** this info is not in any of the standard SQL Server 2005 loags and find no entry relating to triggers being enabled/disabled. Therefore I also *assume* the best way to do this is create a DDL Trigger and populate a table when a trigger status is changed. Am I on the right track Has anyone done this Code samples/links to solution Is there a simplier way <i'm all about simple> Thanks in advance. Thats exactly the right direction, if you need a quikc sample for using DDL events, take a look at the DDL event definition in the BOL and perhpas at the slightly diff ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug in Toolstrip menu?

  I have a menu driven application. Everything implemented so far works fine both in the IDE and as a published version. I opened the project as I wanted to add one final item to a drop down menu (which I added a previous item to, without a problem, a few hours previously). The new item does not get added to the menu. If I try again or click anywhere other than inside the empty box, the IDE then shows an error stating that VBE must restart. I had made a copy of my project directory earlier in the day, when I was satisfied that everything worked as intended. The same thing happens when I opened this version of the project. I assume that there is not a limit of 5 items in a drop down menu. Anyone experienced a similar problem ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB computing wrong value during execution

  I am receiving the wrong result when I perform the following computation using VB.NET 2005. MM = CDbl (LoCursr - 1) / CDbl (HiCursr) LoCursr and HiCursr are both dimensioned as Integers and have values of 85 and 87 and are passed into this subroutine as ByRef values. MM is a local variable declared as a double. If I execute this statement in the immediate window, I get the correct result of 0.96551724137931039 However, when this statement executes normally, I receive a result of 0.96551722288131714 which I also get if I execute Cdbl(Csng(84/87)) in the immediate Window. I've tried storing the LowCursr and HiCursor values in Doubles prior to doing the computation, but that did not correct the problem. Is there a se ...Show All

  So the problem is that when I deploy the test project on my Windows CE .NET 4.2 device, VS2005 allows me only "Pocket PC 2003 Device" and "Windows CE 5.0 Device". I select "Windows CE 5.0 Device" and in a minute receive a message on the device screen: "The program is not compatible with the current operating system and therefore may not run on this device.

  I am writing an AJAX application and would like to run performance test on the server. How do I record the trafic to the server and play it back as if it was real a-sync test as it is in AJAX What tool should I use here Eran LWP is a Perl module that lets you write scripts to consume web data. I have two of these bots hitting our site right now. They validate content from one request to the next- like extracting a user id from AJAX returned XML that is then used in subsequent web requests across our site. It also reports response times. The beauty of these bots is that they can be run anywhere Perl is installed. This is outstanding for OS X testing and stress testing the site from our Linux box. T ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics class and abstract class

  Hi, I'm currently converting a project to use generic classes. In the situation described below, I don't know whether I should keep an abstract class or not. Before using generic types, there're an AbstractElement class, and two derived classes - Element16 and Element32. There's a DataList class, which has an ArrayList to store AbstractElement object. Now I use a generic type Element<T>, where T can be uint or ushort, to replace Element16 and Element32. But I don't know how to modify the DataList class to use Element<T>. I don't want to make DataList a generic type, since the users of DataList don't know whether the Element objects in DataList are Element<ushort> or Element<uint>. Should I keep the Abstract ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedures vs SQL Select Statement.

  I have a question related to performance. Which would be better performance wise. Lets say I have a Stored Procedure which does a process, and within the stored procedure I need to collect information as it relates to the process. So this may require me to obtain data from several other tables in order to complete the process. Is it better performance wise to execute another stored procedure to collect the data I need (may be one or more then one stored procedure) or am I better performance wise to just embbed the SQL statements within the single Stored Procedures. Ie Stored Procedure up_ProcessAccount Exec up_GetAccountName Exec up_GetAccountHolderDetails ..... or Stored Procedure up_ProcessAccount Select @ACCO ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form show unrequested

  To get some experience using VBE, I converted a simple program I once made for myself(VB5). It's a birthday calendar, using a VB5 commandbutton for each day of the year, i found that VBE has great problems handling this many controls, it is slow, very slow and realy unworkable. Some where else in this forum I found that others with a lot of controls experience the same problems and there is no neat solution for it. In the mid 80's the basicinterpreter was quicker than this VBE with a machine that is 2000 times faster. Another problem I have is that the main(start) form of the program shows up unrequested. In the load section of the (start)form I show another form from which I normally select whether I show the (start)form or not. The se ...Show All
