• Visual C# method not firing

  I have a method which is not firing. I use a customValidator control that calls the method onServerValidate I've tested the method on a seperate page using the exact same code and it works fine, so something is preventing the method from firing on my page. Here is the page where the method does not fire: http://dwayne.compasslearning.com/contact.aspx (click on the dropdown menu and select "request product and services information") When you submit the form, the phone number input boxes do not validate, which is where I have a CustomValidator control calling my method. Here is a test page, where it does fire: http://dwayne.compasslearning.com/validate.aspx I'm stumped on what is causing the method to not ex ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) To both of you: Would lazy loading related entities be impossible or bad for some reason?

  While on the subject of loading foreign key references... Is there some mnemonic I can throw into the LINQ query to tell LINQ to Entities that I want to pre-fetch all of the type data because I want to filter on it When I do: var filteredQuery = from game in gamesDb.VideoGames where game.Type.Name == "Nintendo Wii" select game; foreach (VideoGames g2 in filteredQuery) Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", g2.Title, g2.Type.Name); That thing works fine, and I don't have to loop through and call TypeRef.Load() Is there something I can stuff in the query when I'm not using a where clause that will force the TypeRef to pre-fetch Frans Bouma - C# MVP wrote: What's essential is that this is specifyab ...Show All

• Visual C++ "R6002, Floating point not loaded" occurs when EXE file is compressed...

  I have a program built in Visual Studio 2005 (C++). When I try to compress it with UPX, MoleBox, HandProt, and so on... the program doesn't work anymore... It messages me with Error R6002, Floating Point not loaded... I suppose it's because the C++ compiler in VS2005 makes something different from others C++ compilers (VS2003, VS6, etc) when creating the PE structure. I think something is different that when compressed, the program can't load the variables float and double. I've observed and I'm sure that the crash occours exactly when some floating point is called. The program, when no compressed, works normally... I need to compress this program. Does anybody know if there exists some option in compiler that allow me to ...Show All

• Commerce Server archive old orders Best Practice

  Hello What is the best practice for archiving old orders Is there any wat to reload arcived orders (which were saved on a diffrent table Thanks arik Arik, There are no prescribed ways that I am aware of. That being said you can export your orders to your back office systems and purge the orders on the front end if they are becoming too numerous to handle. Unless your tables are reaching millions of rows it shouldn't be too much of a performance issue. Are you experiencing issues currently or trying to anticipate future handling Cheers, Colin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Working with MS-SCC API implementation and MS-Access

  Hi All, We have implemented MS-SCC API 1.3. I am testing this with all Microsoft IDEs VC6, VB6, VS03, VS05, MS-Accesss etc. While working with MS-Access, I am able to add an access database (containing different type of objects - tables, queries, forms, macros, modules etc) to the SCM. But when I try to create database from by using our source repository for other user, only tables get added to the database, not other objects like forms, modules. The other user has to execute "Get Latest Version" command for by selecting "All" from "Object Type", to populate other objects. While creating database, SccPopulateList() function get called.

• SQL Server Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

  I am receiving the following message when connecting via query analzyer to SQL server using windows authentication.(error 18452). I have a login created with the sys admin server role on the server. When I connect using SQL authentication it works. I added myself to the local admin group on the server, this allows it to work. The same situation is seen with another user. I am using windows 2000 sp4 server and SQL 2000 SP3, connecting from NT4. I get the same issue if I use TCP or named pipes. We have been using SQL security but are moving to windows authentication - but this issue is stopping us. I have checked and upgraded my version of MDAC to match the server version 2.7 (sp1) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Report listener, HTML output on a Win98 machine.

  Hi All; I've been using a report listener to produce an html file. On win98 machines the detail band of the erport it empty. On XP all is Okay. Anyone experienced this and knows if there is a solution (Aside from upgrading to XP) Thanks. >> I think it may be related to GDIPLUS. I think you are correct. You may need to explicitly install the latest version of GDIPlus on the machine in order for this to work - assuming that it will work at all on Win 98. Remember Win 98 is no longer a supported operating system for the VFP Development Environment, although VFP Runtimes should work on that platform According to the help file: You can create and distribute run-time applications f ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't create a full-text index or catalogue on my sql table.

  I am trying to run an SELECT statement with a CONTAINS statement from a aspx.net solution built using Visual Web Developer 2005 express edition. When I try to run the thing it throws an error saying "Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'JournalArticle' because it is not full-text indexed.". I don't have access to the SQL Express server, I interface through Server Management Studio Express. There is an option to create a full-text index from the menu, but it is greyed out, presumably because there is no full-text catalogue. This is my real question, How do I create a full-text catalogue using Server Management Studio Express The help function only provides examples of sql code, which I assu ...Show All
