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

  Hello, I have some problem here. I have a sql server installed on one machine and I have another development machine for my asp application. How could I actually access the asp application and sql server at the same time from another machine within the network. I kept on getting the error message above. Thank you for your help :) So you have: Clients -> Development (ASP) -> Sqlserver right This is very much a typical 3-tier app. The login/authentication Sqlserver sees is from the ASP app. Whatever you set in your connection string for your ASP app is what Sqlserver uses to authenticate. If you post the connectiong string here, we can tell you more. When you say, you've successfully connected to the sqlserver from the dev box, a ...Show All

• Visual C# Custom Attribute and it influencing all my controls part 2.

  Hi, I have a custom attribute in my library (OnOffAttribute, to turn off or on a property) and it's behaving a little oddly. Basically, all my controls use common classes for their drawing and such. I do not always need certain properties in these common classes, so i created an attribute (which is is used through ICustomTypeDescriptor and a custom TypeDescriptor) to do this based on (very vague) information found on the web. The thing is, that if i set, for example, my "DisplayBorder" property to be 'off', it is off for ALL controls that use the common border class instead of just the control i set it to be off for. The border class is always instantiated in each control using the 'new' command and as thus i figured it'd be off ...Show All

• Visual Studio Bugs (?) in July version

  I have upgraded to the July DSL Factory and have the following errors/changes 1) Can no longer stop users resizing shapes 2) Can't create a new relationship shape (had to edit XML) 3) Can't create user types (used to use CLR attributes) 4) 2 instances of validate/validate all in menu 5) Error if adding item to validate menu 1) In the language designer you could set a property on a concept to prevent users changing colour size etc 3) Previously you could specify an object type (other than int etc) for a concept attribute e.g. make an attribute store HTML 4) The menu I am referring to is in the designer when you right click on the diagram. I used to have code to call my validation routi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Calling Multiple webtests from a webtest

  Hello, I would like to call several webtests from a 'master' webtest so that I can modularize my test suite to some degree. I did see a previous post that stated that it was possible to call a single webtest from another webtest. Am I correct in assuming that this should extend to calling several webtests from a webtest. Also, can these calls be nested Can a webtest call a webtest that is calling yet another webtest Finally, the previous post I am referring to ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=191144&SiteID=1 ) refers to an attached example of a coded web test (in C#) that calls another web test. This would be very helpful, but I cannot find it. Could you please re-post it Thanks. Glenn ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Question on XNA Beta 1 Performance

  Hello I have downloaded the XNA Beta 1 and created my first little test application. At the moment I am rendering a quad as the floor using a triangle fan and a rotating cube above it (indexed triangle list). My FPS are being drawn using a bitmapped font i wrote up real quick. Assuming I am doing everything correctly I am only getting ~400 fps. The same application (albeit using ID3DXFont) in C++ runs at ~800 fps. That's a 50% decrease in performance :\. I understand this is only a beta and may not be fully optimized but even then a 50% drop is fairly hefty. Could some of this be attributed to the fact that I'm inheriting from the high level Game class for window management instead of writing my own Maybe I'm just doing something very wron ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error when viewing workitem details over web

  I have my build server runingnicely, but when an exception occurs, it creates an email to me with a link similar to the following: http://<tfsserver>:8080/WorkItemTracking/WorkItem.aspx artifactMoniker=283 However, clicking the link displays the message: "The given key was not present in the dictionary." I understand that this is probably a mis-configuration of the data warehouse data, but I'm unsure where to look.

• Software Development for Windows Vista In July CTP, using StateMachineWorkflowInstance to obtain CurrentState freezes workflows in that State

  Dear all, I have a working StateMachineWorkflow hosted under asp.net 2.0.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie Scope Question

  Please could someone explain the flow on loading a form please. When you open a new form with the form show event does the class run before the load event If something is within the load event does that have form wide scope or is it only things in the class if I understand correctly, say you have a class called ClassA. In the form, you wish to make this global so anyone within this form can access it. Is this correct if so, then yes! private theClassA as new ClassA() .. .. just as you would do with any variable declaration really. for any other classes to access this "classA", simply change private to public so its visible outside the form class is this what you are after ...Show All

• Windows Forms Proper way to invalidate using a Region

  Hello, I have a user control that uses a graphic path to draw itself. The control just draws a line with two points. The user can grab on of the points and move it around to change its location. While the user is moving the point, the control is supposed to re-draw itself so the endpoint of the line will be attached to the mouse. This works fine when I do an Invalidate() on the control, but it flickers, so I want to only invalidate a specific part of the control. I'm doing a Invalidate(new Region(_InvalidatePath)); Where _InvalidatePath is is the the combination of the path I just drew and the new path that I want to draw. I get left over garbage on the screen and I don't get a line between the two points. I'm certain I'm ...Show All
