• Visual Studio Permission for VB developer in Windows XP

  What is the least permission for a VB developer to compile their software on Windows XP Professional im not entirely sure about that so I apologize.

• SQL Server insert into without repetitions

  I would like to insert new data into an existing table. However, there is the possibility of overlapping data (i.e. new table may contain some data that is already in the existing table). How can I avoid this The following code obviously will not work because the insert into table does not have a from clause. It does, hopefully, explain what I am trying to do. INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE table2 . MyPrimaryKey <> table1 . MyPrimaryKey --left join INSERT INTO table1 SELECT t2.* FROM table2 t2 left join table1 t1 on t2.MyPrimaryKey = t1.MyPrimaryKey where t1.MyPrimaryKey is null --not exists INSERT INTO table1 SELECT t2.* FROM table2 t2 where not exists (s ...Show All

  Hi all, I got the SDK sample of Halos 3D ListView. It is a good sample of WPF. But the codes quite new to me.

THanks :D thats advanced for a novice :-) You may wish to look at to see if your camera manufacturer has some SDK/API's available for you to work with your camera. If not, then life may get a bit harder than it already maybe. I know you can user the serialPort's class to access devices but this may not be case here, I don't know.

• SQL Server "The package contains two objects with the duplicate name of "xxxx" and "xxxx"

  Hi all, I am creating a Data Flow custom component in SSIS, and my input/output columns are dynamically created depending on the value of a custom property of the component.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 DTS: Can Execute SQL Tasks share more than one connection?

  Using SQL Server 2000 DTS I cannot seem to access linked servers from the connection context of another server. For example if the sql task has a connection to sql server A, I cannot query data from any other sql server (I get a login failed exception). Is this a limitation or am I doing something wrong If the sql task has a connection to sql servA I cannot query (B.databaseB.dbo.tableB) I am trying to port a fairly large dts package. Before the sql tasks all queried databases on the same server now the databases are located on several linked servers. Thus I get login errors from any queries that try to access servers which the sql task does not have a connection to. If this is a limitation are there any quick fixes I do not want to copy ...Show All

• Visual Basic visible = false, WM_SETREDRAW. suspend/resume layout oh my.....

  The app I am porting from vb6 into .net 2.0 has about 20 usercontrols and 30 forms . They all go through some kind of initialization at application startup, depending on what the user was doing the app shut down last. It needs to reload in the same state where it left off and with the right combination of controls/dashboards, etc. In the MainForm .Designer.vb (SDI not MDI) splitcontainer controls, tab controls, menu and toolstrips are declared and then at the end of InitializeComponent, Resumelayout / Performlayout is done. IThe problem is in the MainForm's Load event when all the other controls are declared and instantiated. It takes a few seconds (machine dependent) to load everything and while all this is taking place, all the ...Show All
