• SQL Server Replication Error 28559

  We have a PDA application (Net CF 2.0) which uses sql mobile and synchronises to a SQL Server 2000 database (merge replication). We were using SQL CE 2.0 on the PDA earlier and moved to using SQL mobile recently. Since this move we are getting error 28559 (SQL Server Mobile encountered problems when opening the database - says in the documentation). The error does not happen regularly. When it occurs the device needs a soft reset to recover from the error / close the application and start again. Problem happens more frequently on XDA Exec (http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/handset/O2/XDAExec:3G) running WM5 compared to devices running Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition for Pocket PC phone edition.

• Visual Basic how do i get computername in visual basic.net

  i like to use the computername in my visualbasic aplication. but have a problem to get it. i did have use it before in a old program, but lost the code i used so far as i can remember the system management is there a easy way do do that " in addition, you can also use: System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() since you are referring to System. management, I believe this is WMI you maybe talking about which can also be achievable but will be very expensive and "pointless" if you can achieve the same thing but quicker and easier within the .NET Framework itself.

• .NET Development Try refreshing the table adapter

  It is my understanding that when using a TableAdapter and selecting the proper options, Insert, Delete and Update statements are generated. The Update statement should work just using the following: myTableAdapter.Update(changes); Where changes is the DataSet containing the modified data. This logic works great for one of the tables in the DB but not for another. Learning this new stuff is Confusing at best - Frustrating at worst. Help appreciated, Michael i' ve this problem also, but i even can't mark the chek box "refresh the data table" because it is not enabled. i use the vs 2005 express verision. may it's the reason is somebodt know if i can update the database table with the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word Addin: Event for new Document object

  I want to get event when new Document object is added into Application.Documents collection. I was looking for this event for a while and was unable to find it. I found Application.NewDocument event, but it's fired only if you click on New... button in Word (it isn't fired if you just run Word.exe). Am I missing something I know that in Oulook Addin there is an event ExplorersClass.New for new Explorer, but in Word there is no DocumentsClass class (only Documents interface and it doesn't have any events). Ok. But the problem with those events is that if I just open MS Word (by clicking on icon or launching word.exe) neither of those events are fired (even though new Document is created).

• Visual C# How to set breakpoints in other projects when current is using binary references

  This is in VS 2003 I haven't tried to set debug points in other projects that are tied to this project.  What I mean is, I am building my windows form, running it and would like to set debug points in a couple of other projects that this one is using a binary reference to. We are not going to be using project references, because it's our standard not to. So I am not just going to add the other projets inside this solution. I tried to open my other 2 solution files, tried to set breakpoints, then ran my current project but it's not stopping at the breakpoints I set outside this project, in my other 2 solutions. I know the code is htting those methods but it's not stopping at my breakpoints outside this one I'm runnin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Assertion Dialog appearing whilst running tests via MSBuild

  Hi, I'm using MSBuild to kick off some tests using MSTest. The problem I have is that the tests are running against debug builds and in some cases assertion dialogs are appearing, which is obviously not ideal for CI. When I was using NUnit I could suppress the dialog using a .config file for the nunit project in the following manner: <configuration> <system.diagnostics> <assert assertuienabled="false" /> </system.diagnostics> </configuration> How can I do this using MSBuild/MSTest thanks in advance, John.

• Visual C++ MFC Programming in VC++ 8(2005)

  Hi to all, I don't know if I write in the right forum but I believe that it doesn't matter anyway!

Now, I can't make my application write something on the screen!! I know how to do it in VC++ 6, but the wizards in VC++ 8 and all the other stuff is a little bit different and so I'm a little confused!! Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!! Forgive me!! I have the latest Visual Studio version!!! It supports MFC; if it didn't would it have an option for creating a MFC project !!!
