• .NET Development DDL for Replication ID?

  Hello, I am trying to execute a DbCommand that will create a table in MS Access. And I cannot find the syntax for creating a column that has a guid datatype. In Access (when designing the table), you create a number column then change the field size to Replication ID. I am issuing a string with the DDL in it, so it looks like: "Create Table Bob (ID int, Name Text(10))" In the table above, int and Text are datatypes. But I cannot find the keyword for a guid or Replication ID. Thanks! Bob ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLEXPRESS instance on SQL SErver 2005 standard edition

  What happens when you install a SQLEXPRESS instance on a machine that already has SQL Server 2005 Will the SQLEXPRESS still run in the limited mode or will it sense that an full standard version of SQL Server 2005 is already present and just "upgrade" itself On the otherhand, how do I "upgade" an existing instance of SQLEXPRESS to a full version of SQL Server 2005 standard edition without uninstalling and installing the standard edition. If I have both the instances then will the SQLEXPRESS be freed from its limits Thanks, Vikram Oops! This contradicts with the previous answer where it states that a SQL Express instance can actually be upgraded. Vikram ...Show All

• Visual C# ProgressBar Dilemma

  My user wishes to see visual proof that their app is processing files. I've never used a ProgressBar before and I'm trying to get a test to work before I 'muddy-up' my production app. I've gotten to the point that I can get the Value to display as each record in a file is read; however, when it gets to the final record it displays the following exception: Value of '1894' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum'. Parameter name: Value I know what the problem is (there's 1893 records in my test file), I just don't know how to fix it. I've tried to set the record count to it's value +1 ( this . thisProgressBar . Maximum = Convert . ToInt32 ( m_strInputFile . Length / 1024 + 1 ); ), but still g ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using C++/CLI to develop web apps

  Is it possible to develop web applications using VC++ (C++/CLI) in Visual Studio 2005 Standard/Professional Editions I would guess that the answer is 'yes', but I would like to confirm. I checked out the Web Developer Express Edition, but it only includes VC#/VB. I am looking for a way to develop web apps using VC++ (C++/CLI). Thanks, Kumar Is it straight-forward to set unsafe code access for C++/CLI Could this cause any other problems potentially (Since I am not familiar with this, I need to ask.) Also: Would I just be better off just using VC# to develop web apps (either with Web Developer Express, or Visual Studio Sandard/Professional) Thanks, Kumar ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiler Error C3213 in C++/CLI

  Compiler error C3213 says: "A type that will be visible from an assembly must use publicly visible base classes." Can anyone explain to me why this is so If another assembly accesses my publicly visible derived class, why must my entire base class hierarchy be publicly visible in .NET nobugz wrote: You're right. .NET also doesn't allow private derivation. C++ doesn't have anything resembling .NET's ability to control accessibility at the compiled unit level. The closest unmanaged analogy to an assembly and public ref class is a DLL and the __declspec(dllexport) attribute. There is however no facility to prevent a DLL client from executing code in base classes that are not exp ...Show All
