• SQL Server I am trying to schedule a job not to run on holidays in SQL server 2005.

  Hi, I want to schedule a job that runs daily but not on holidays and I am using SQL server 2005. Looking for some advice... thanks, as a variation on this theme, you could set up a seperate job that disables or enables jobs depending on whether a day is holiday or not. More risky, perhaps (if it doesn't run, then X jobs are not set correctly). ...Show All

• Windows Forms Science Fair Help

  Hello, I'm entering a local science fair that my homeschool group is doing, and I need some help with code problem. My Basic idea is to build a Windows Form, with buttons that when clicked play a .wav file (recorded by me) explaining the basics of computer programming and how it has advanced through the years. Because ideas like Binary language are hard to explain verbally, I included a read-only Rich textbox that I can write to, to try and visually express the concept. (Actual C# and Basic commands are to be displayed to show the difference in the languages) I got the sound playing, the button commands, and the overall Form design. Now where the trouble comes in... I am trying to use a Thread.Sleep command while ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is March '07 Orcas CTP worth downloading for WPF developers?

  There apparently are WPF development tools in the new March CTP of Orcas (unlike the previous CTP).  The download is >6GB :)!  Is there enough improvement over VS 2005+Cider to justify downloading for WPF developers Here is Tim Sneath's blog article about this CTP, with a link to the download: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2007/02/28/wpf-and-orcas.aspx Thanks, Alan I've spent a good bit of time with it since Thursday evening, and I would say that it's definitely worth downloading. Included in the new CTP is a newer Cider WPF designer than what you get in the .Net 3.0 extensions for VS2005. It also includes the LINQ to SQL O/RM designer, a preview build of the next team foundation server (with support for Conti ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro arabic

  hi i want write arabic in the textbox (right to left) what must ido Bijansaba: Besides setting the language (Windows version) to Arabic in Control Panel, in VFP forms use Alignment=1 and RightToLeft=.t. for Text/Edit boxes. In Reports use the RightToleft from the format menu and select the font as Arabic script. This supposes you have the latest version of VFP and Windows XP, as you do not specify version used. Previous versions of VFP may have had some problems with Right-to-Left. I understand the VFP Team worked on this issue for VFP 9.0.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions data exists

  hi all im trying to find out how to see if a record exists in a database and returns true if it is there also in code how can i if it does exist add a value into where column name is "type" thanks in advance tim you could also use a DataView to perform your filter on the dataset, this would return you any records found within the dataset, which holds your records. Would this be something you would be interested in IF so... here is an example: Dim theDataView as new DataView(theDataSet.Tables(0)) theDataView.Filter = "field = value" if theDataView.Count > 0 then 'there are records matched end if you can also bind the results found to the datagridview: ...Show All

• .NET Development no wsdl file when downloaded from a remote web server

  Hello, Visual studio 2005 I have created a simple web service on my local machine. I added the web reference and everything works fine. However, when i add an web reference from my remote web server it adds the web reference, but there is no wsdl document. From my local machine I have under the web reference the following files: Reference.map, service.disco, service.wsdl. On my remote web server I have the following: Reference.map, service.disco. The service.wsdl is missing. I have always created web service on my local machine, this is the first time from a remote server. Can anyone provide any guidance on how to solve this problem.

• Visual Studio Team System How I can find what event subscriptions I have in the TFS?

  And which subscriptions I have to have in order to make TFS function properly I played with EventService.asmx and I believe that I could accidentaly unsubscribe from event with id=1. This Web Service is so poorly developed that it even doesn't let you know the results of operation - maybe nothing happened, but who knows I would consider doing a repair to restore the system events. Anyway, the event #1 in my setup is DataChangedEvent with a soap call to http://<server>:8080/VersionControl/v1.0/Integration.asmx . You might want to try making this subscription using bissubscribe because just fixing db isn't sufficient or supportable. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Reuse / inheritance of custom composite activities

  I am struggling to understand how reuse of complex custom Activities can be achieved with WF, given the limitations of the black-box model and on inheritance from composite base classes. I have several complex composite base activities (variously inheriting from and combining EventHandlingScopeActivity, ListenActivity, ParallelActivity). These encapsulate a lot of "plumbing" or non-business functionality needed by my application e.g. activity updates, event handling and skipping of activities. I want this plumbing to be available to all my custom business activities so that I do not have to duplicate it for every activity type, and also so that non-technical WF designers can take advantage of this plumbing without needing to u ...Show All
