• Visual Studio Express Editions Connecting to a Remote SQL Server

  I have been going through the tutorial video (Absolute beginners one) and have started a program that edits an SQL database. However, I need this database on the net. I have got the database set up, and now all I need to know is how to connect to it. After looking on the internet, I have found out that the wizards do not let you connect to a remote SQL server, and so I have to code it in myself. However, the threads I have found I have not quite understood (I'm still fairly new to this). Could someone please either a) Give me an idiot's guide to doing this (then I should be sure of understanding it :D ) or point me in the direction of an existing one programmatically you pretty much change the data source ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Windows Groups - TFS does not see new users until restart

  If using Windows groups, it appears that there is a bug in VSTS. TFS seems to query the Windows Security system once for a list of users belonging to each group. When you add a new user to the Windows Group, TFS doesn’t get the update – i.e. it’s out of date. The result is that you won’t be authenticated if you added yourself tp a Windows group after TFS has queried the Windows security system. To reproduce : Using a TFS Admin account, perform the following: Create a local Windows Security Group named ProjectAdmins To this group, add a user account e.g. User01 In TFS, under Project Settings, Group Membership, add the Windows Group, ProjectAdmins to one of your Team Project Administrator security groups. ...Show All

  Hello, I'm trying to develop a Winows Vista SideBar Gadget using the System.Network.Wireless Object.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Best/Simplest way to save user input for my program

  I have just about finished my first program. It consists of 4 forms, each form with a multitude of text boxes and buttons. Basically this program is going to keep track of some numbers for me by deducting 1/0.5 (depending on which button is pushed) from a total entered at the beginning of each week. Ive got all my buttons etc doing everything I want them to do but I've come across a major problem, when I close my program all the numbers disappear, I don't know how to save my user input (the numbers in my textboxes) I don't need to keep any history or anything of these numbers. I just need the program to remember the numbers that it is up to when i close it so that I can carry on deducting from them the next time I open the program. At the ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Document Library WebPart and Folder Navigation

  Hi, I have created a Document Library and am using folders rather than columns for organization. This is largely because when users upload more than one document at a time they are not prompted to tag them with metatdata and then lose thier files amongst the existing documents. It is difficult for them to then find the documents and edit the properties after the fact. With this being said, it is more convenient for them to navigate to the appropriate folder and then upload the multiple documents. The one issue with navigating the folders is with the Document Library Web Part. I can't find a way for them to navigate up a directory. The "Up" button is no longer in the toolbar. The breadcrumbs don't work like they do if you ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Bluetooth com port question

  In the documentation you can open a com port using CreateFile with both read and write access and you see this in a lot of sample code. Is it any advantage to use two separate com ports or perhaps use one com port and two file handles where the com port is being heavily used for read and write operations In my code I'm writing to a com port created with read and write access very frequently and the reads are done using polling on a separate thread (critical sections are used around the read and write calls). This forum is primarily monitored by Visual Studio for devices group. Please check this link for more appropriate forum for this type of queries. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Linker errors on WDK5600

  Could not find a place for WDK queries hence, posting here. Apologies if I'm at the wrong place. I'm working on a unidrv based printer driver. Until now we were building our DLLs with various versions of DDK. Recently we migrated to WDK5600 for vista support. After several code changes specific to vista, we were in a position to build the code. However we are currently facing a link problem. The WDK specifies that we should be linking only any one of LIBCMT,MSVCRT and NTDLL. We were until now, using LIBCMT with STL. When I link with MSVCRT (By specifying USE_MSVCRT=1 in the sources file), the code compiles and builds successfully. However, dlls built in this manner do not work on Windows2000/XP. I traced the problem to some unres ...Show All
