• Visual Studio Team System selective Schema Import

  Is there any way in which I can import selective objects from a database (other than using import Script) I have a database containing objects from many projects together. I want to get the objects related to a specific project in my DBPro project... Another problem....when I tried to import script as a workaround for this, only the tables and views got added. None of the stored proc's got imported. And when I tried importing the whole database schema with CTP 5, it took 3 days to do the same... Please help me solve these problems... Thanks, Mairead. One more issue... When I compare schema, I do not have the option of selectively comparing two particular objects. I am forced to compare the entire database! This will al ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote connection not working using MSSMSE

  Im getting quite desperate and frustrated!! I have installed SQL 2005 Express successfully and can connect to it fine using Management Studio locally.

• Visual C# Sharing variables between classes

  Hi, I have a project where I have 3 separate classes, 2 of these classes use some methods and variables defined in the third class. To acheive this I'm currently making the variables and methods needed by the other classes 'public static'. However this is causing me problems as my program is storing information when at times I don't want it to and I can't find an appropriate way of resetting them. My question is is it possible to share these variables and methods with the other classes without making them static Thanks in advance. Thanks nobugz Could you just extend on what you're saying a bit please. Say I currently have MapLogic.cs, MapListView.cs and MapTreeView.cs and MapLogic contains a current leve ...Show All

• SQL Server publish report

  Hello, I have create a web base project that will programmatically publish report into report server 2005. But when i run the code, i need to create a shared data source and set the DataSourceReference. Is there any ways else so that i no need to create a shared data source but still can publish the report in report server 2005 using custom data source Thanks. You don't have to use shared datasource. You can just define a report specific datasource, in which case, all the datasource properties are embedded in the rdl. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159165.aspx ...Show All

• Visual C# Strong Name Key File

  What is common practice when sharing a snk with many projects Do I add the snk to each individual project Or is there a way to store the snk in a centralized location to be used by all projects There are really two quick and easy ways to do this... the first is to put your key file in a common location so that each project can access it through it’s AssemblyKeyFile attribute in its AssemblyInfo.cs and might look something like:       [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile(@"c:\Projects\Common\MyKey.snk")] Another method is to install your key into your systems default Crypto Service Provider (CSP) and use the AssemblyKeyName attribute to reference the name of it. In order to install your key pair you’d use sn.exe t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. So obvious, but can't find it in the FAQ

  OK, just got back from vacation and finally got to start playing with the much anticipated XNA beta. Somebody please tell me the previous posts were wrong and I'm just missing this in the FAQ -- they wouldn't really release a game development kit that can't import 3D models, would they I mean, this is such an obvious thing... I'm just missing it in the FAQ, right Somebody, please.... The Spacewar sample has a .svm format loader, which has been documented in a couple of posts previously. Someone (sorry, I can't remember their name ATM) has released an .X to .svm converter you could use to convert models into something that can be called with that code. In addition, you can write your own ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA with other languages

  Hello, my name is Brian i am an Indie developer looking into the XNA. My question is, will XNA ever be able to be used with VB.net and will microsoft allow it as a language to be used whilst creating Xbox 360 and Windows games than you. This is the site I ended up using the most. Anytime that site didn't have what I was looking for, typically I could find it pretty quick just Googling for it. Hope that helps and like I said. Once you know a .NET language like VB, it's not too hard picking up another one like C#, I'm sure you'll be up and running working on an XNA game in C# in no time at all...although when you start adding curly braces to your VB code you might feel a little silly... ...Show All
