• Windows Forms ToolTipTexts not displaying properly

  Hi, I have an MDI host with a toolbar that is largely disabled until an appropriate childform is opened. Each of the toolbar controls has tooltips. Strangely, these display while the toolbar is disabled, but once a childform is opened and the toolbar enabled, they cease to display at all. Any ideas on this odd behaviour ...Show All

• SQL Server Placement of sys.conversation_endpoints and sys.transmission_queue

  Is there any thought going into moving these two tables to a file group that we can control Putting this in Primary with the rest of my system tables is quite problematic, and hinders my ability to manage space usage on my files. Traditionally, we didn't have to consider a primary file group that could grow to large proportions, but now with these two tables it can. If a large volume of messages gets sent through and the system can't keep up, then these tables and my primary file group will grow sometimes enormously.

• Visual C++ Intellisense + object instances

  Okay, this is driving me nuts. It seems that although intellisense works beautifully on classes themselves (IE classname::), it never works on instances of classes. But of course, most of the time that I need to access class methods/attributes, I'm working on an instance of the class. Is this an actual limitation of Visual Studio's intellisense, an option I've overlooked, or maybe just a problem within my current project All of the instances that I've been using show up in the object browser, so I don't think anything is wrong with their definitions that might be throwing intellisense off...

• Windows Forms Capturing AJAX events in Webbrowser control

  Hi, I am using System.Windows.Forms.Webbrowser control in my application. For the Ajax based sites like live.com, the webbrowser control processes and renders the javascript requests, even after the DocumentComplete event is fired, because of which I get incorrect scrollHeight and scrollWidth of the document. Is there any way to tell if the webbrowser is still processing XMLHttpRequests and javascript Thanks, Nupur ...Show All

• SQL Server Best way to read a paradox file?

  We used to use DTS to read Paradox files. This is something we do regularly. DTS has a native Paradox driver. This seems to have disappeared in SSIS. Can anyone recommend the best way to read Paradox Files with SSIS Click New OLE DB connection. Choose "Native OLE DB\Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider". On the "All" tab find "Extended properties" and type "Paradox 5.x". For the "Data source" type the directory where your tables are. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trouble deploying and testing modified WCF Guidance Package

  Hi all, I have been busy modifying the existing asmx and wcf guidance packages to alter the code some existing recipes generate, and add a few more recipes. Testing and debugging the asmx package works with no issues, the modified asmx package has no new recipes, only new actions. However, the wcf package will not pick up on the new changes. After I have de-registered, and registered the guidance package it doesn't seem to pick up on any of the changes. When trying to debug the package, it will complain that it is unable to find the symbols for my new actions and references. I have tried uninstalling the WCF guidance package and reinstalling it with a modified setup file, however, when I do this it complains it cannot find WC ...Show All

• SQL Server A critical SQL Server problem

  Hi, Once, I wanted to attach a database to SQL Server by means of "CREATE DATABASE ... FOR ATTACH" command, in Query Analizer. I encountered an error and attaching database failed. (The error was something like this : "the phisical file 'FILENAME' maybe is incorrect") But after going to Enterprice Manager, I realised that a database whitout a name was created. Since then, I wasn't able to do any process in SQL Server whitout either not recieving an error or failing the process. I decided to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server again. But after uninstalling, whenever I want to reinstall SQL Server I get this error : " A previous program installation created pending file operations on the installation ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Why my VFP exe file cannot be launched?

  I complied my program under VFP6 into an exe file in the program folder. But it cannot be launched. I believe there is nothing wrong with the code, because I just made a minor change. The funny thing is that if I copied the file to other folders on the same drive, it works! And even more wear is that some old version VFP exe files could not be launched from within that program folder, either. I have to copy them out to test. It only happens to VFP exe files. Other exe files are OK. It did the same with VFP9. Any idea what could be the problem Do you mean those vfp6*.dll files They are under my c:\windows\system32 folder. I also had a copy under the program folder I ment ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) COM Interop problem in WCF service

  Hi All I've searched forums for this subject but cannot find If I am duplicating a previous post please accept my apologies. I have written a WCF service which calls into a COM component via an interop assembly (created with tlbimp) When I unit test my code the interop call works fine. When I call the interop assembly direct from an asp.net application likewise everything works fine, as long as I set "AspCompat="true" in the @Page directive of my aspx page. However when I call the WCF service from my asp.net application I see the following error: (TVASWrapper13 being the COM component) "Unable to cast COM object of type 'TVASWrapper13.CCalcControllerClass' to interface type 'TVASWrapper13._CCalcController'.

• SQL Server Using newly created table in data flow task

  Hello dear Forum, I guess this should be rather simple to answer but i just don't get how to do this. I just want to import some data from an Access mdb file into a SQL Server 2005 Database. As I dont want to create all tables in Sql Server 2005 beforehand i'd like to create them out of my SSIS Package. Therefore i use the 'Execute SQL Task' in the control flow before stepping into the dataflow where only a oledb-source and an oledb-destination exist... VERY simple... My problem is, that i can't select the table from the selectionlist in the oledb-destination because it does not exist before executing the package... If i create the table by hand just to be able to select it, that does not help. because if everything is set up a ...Show All
