• SQL Server Surface Area Config/Rep. Svcs./Error viewing Win Integrated Security

  When attempting to verify that Windows Integrated Security is disabled (see why at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180255.aspx), I receive the following error: Argument value was not passed for the argument Report service URL. (Microsoft.SqlSac.Public) I have been unable to determine if this is related to the fact that I use Mixed Authentication in my SS2K5 instance, and therefor not actually an error, but a notification, or if it is an error in the tool. I suspect the latter. Any info out there Subquestion: Is this the best way to report an incident like this without starting the MS support charge meter The best way to track and evaluate customer issues is through reporting them through MSDN product feedback center b ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to use FrameworkElement.FindName

  According to MSDN FrameworkElement.FindName searches recursively till it finds a element by the given name. "If this element has child elements, these child elements are all searched recursively for the requested named element." I believe I should be able to use this to get the textbox part of a combobox, example: TextBox tt = combo.FindName( "PART_EditableTextBox" ) as TextBox ; But it doesn't work. I tested a bit more and turns out FindName doesn't have the recursive behavior the docs says. This code works: FrameworkElement grid = VisualTreeHelper .GetChild(combo, 0) as FrameworkElement ; Border bd = grid.FindName( "Bd" ) as Border ; grid = VisualTreeHelper .GetChild(bd, 0) as ...Show All

• SQL Server format datetime column

  Hello, I am wondering if someone could help me with formatting datatime column. Goal - keep column in datatime instead of convert to varchar Current - '2006-06-21 16:54:33.000' Wants - '2006-06-21 16:54:33' Any help is appreciated! -Lawrence Code Bits declare @time datetime set @time = '2006-06-21 16:54:33.000' select @time , convert ( varchar ( 255 ), @time , 20 ) I know what you are saying, but the reason is that the format from this t-sql goes into a transformation and oddly enough the transformation does not accept datetime format with millisecond.

• .NET Development Collection<T> implementing the List<T> methods?

  Hi, I have some Data Types (classes) that are exposed in some endpoints. As per "fxCop" I have decided to use the System.Collection.ObjectModel.Collection<T> instead of the List<T> when deriving data types that is to be used by others. However I really need some of the List<T> methods like "Sort". Im a little worried over the lack of these methods in the Collection<T>. Since I figure that MS, in general, must have the optimal implementations and I cannot find any references as to how they are implemented - In fact I cant seem to find any examples at all ! What to do Anyone knows of such implementation examples anywhere I really dont want to keep on implementing the List<T> and perhaps in ...Show All

• Visual C# FileWatcher - Windows Service needs to be restarted periodically in order to work.

  I have a Windows Service that spawns a couple of threads and looks in two separate directories for files to be dropped. The service works fine, and has run fine for over a year, but every once and a while the service needs to be restarted and I want to fix it so it doesn't need to be restarted. It sometimes seems to be related to the database restarting or server restarting but not always. What can I build into windows service like this that runs all the time in order to protect itself and prevent manual intervention. use try catch blocks at spots where you think necessary. I had suffered the same problem....the database server was not working and my windows service started to misbehave. I reviewed the code ...Show All
