• SQL Server SQl Server 2proc licensing

  Sorry in advance for the potentially boneheaded question: I would like to purchase SQL Svr 2005 Std Edition in a 2 proc licensing config. All my retailer has is 1proc and doesn't have answers for 2proc... Can I buy a 1proc and upgrade thru MSFT If not, how do I buy a 2proc copy... Thanks! JohnWoo I would find a different retailer if they are telling you they can't help with a two processor configuration. Why Because all they have to do is enter a quantity of 2 in the form next to the line item of SQL Server processor license. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions "Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created" error message

  Turning my single threaded application into a multithreaded application has made it much too complicated for me to handle, that's why I need someone's help. My problem is extremely similar to the thread posted by AlexJstubbs titled "Error: Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created". I basically have a long calculation that I used backgroundworker to handle so that my main form can update a progress bar (a different form with panels and extend) using the backgroundworker_progresschanged event handler. Initially, it threw the "Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called....." InvalidOperationException, and I don't really get it because I had the display shown prior to the r ...Show All

• Visual C# documentcomplete event

  I've got a really weird problem with my application; it works on some pc's, and it doesn't on some others. What I've got: A Visual C# 2005 console application with references to MSHTML and SHDOCVW. I use mshtml to get a list of currently open browser windows, and attach events to it to edit the list when a new browser window is created or closed. I attach a documentComplete event to each open browser window and handle it the event there (let's say it prints out the url where is navigated to). So when I run this program, it should detect when I open a new browser window, when I close one, and it should print out the url of a site when it is done loading it. And there's my problem. On a few pc's, it all works perfectly. But o ...Show All

• Visual C++ help with linked list

  I'm having some problems with linked list. I'm working on a small program that deletes a node somewhere in the middle of the list. I don't seem to understand what is wrong with this code below. I know the syntax it correct, but when I try to delete a node somewhere in the middle, it deletes that node just fine, but I believe that I'm not tying my pointers together right. Deleting is not the problem, the problem comes when I display the list again. I will display before I delete the particular node I want, but after the node is deleted, it crashes the program when I display the list. I've tried this one several different ways. (#1, using a temp node to "bookmark" my spot at the node(current) for deletion) temp=current; pr ...Show All

• SQL Server Images

  When you have a column property set to image, does it link to or does it embed the image in the table Davids Learning Hi ! If you are in SQL Server 2005, I would prefer the VARBINARY(MAX),as the IMAGE and the TEXT are tro be deprecated in further versions. If you are on SQL Server 2000, I would prefer using either the IMAGE or the TEXT (in common it makes no difference, because they are nearly implemented the same way, beside that the TEXT type has some extra function which on work on that type). In this case, as you appearantly will need no functions of the TEXT type, I would choose IMAGE. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Windows Forms Month calender control

  Hi I am using monthcalender control in my windows C# application. In that i would like to disable all dates except sundays. most urgent one. Please help. Thanks Arun You can't disable dates in the MonthCalendar control, thus the Validating event handler. Change "==" to "!=" to allow only Sundays to be picked. One hack is to prevent the user clicking days, check this thread for the code. You'll have to find out what the X/Y coordinates need to be so only the Sunday column can be clicked. Beware of culture differences where Sunday is not in the usual place on the calendar. You still need Validating in case the user selects with the keyboard. Check this thread for code ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System unused objects

  Is there any way to list the objects that are no longer referenced anywhere in the database Many times it is useful to check where an object is referenced and it is used at all. Something like caller/callee graph. Thanks, Martin Kulov http://www.codeattest.com/blogs/martin OK since the beans have spilled :) Let me manage expectations; what we are adding is a simple dependecy viewer, this will allow you to walk the dependency chain up and down. This will however not show which objects in the target database are no longer used. We know the list of objects because if you select the build option "Generate DROP statements for objevts that are in the target database but that are not in the database projec ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do you install Windows Vista?

  I have downloaded the ISO file - en_windows_vista_x64_dvd_X12-40712 but can not figure out where the setup file. Real sorry if this is a repeated question, but can't find an answer anywhere. Thanks! If you are installing Windows Vista, you should burn that ISO file to dvd. Use some burning software such as Nero 6 Ultra Edition or Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5. There's many other programs for burning Image files (img or iso) you can search them from google or somewhere. To burn the image directly to a CD or DVD, you will need to install 3rd party software that is capable of understanding and burning image (img or iso) files. Then when you have a DVD which includes that installation file (your iso file) ...Show All

• SQL Server Foreign Key Constraint enforcement question

  If I have an composite Foriegn key on a table, say like this: CREATE TABLE FKTable ( ID INT NOT NULL, ID2 INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID,ID2)) CREATE TABLE OtherTable ( OID INT NOT NULL, ID INT, ID2 INT, PRIMARY KEY (OID), FOREIGN KEY (ID, ID2) REFERENCES FKTable (ID, DI2)) ) Other than the fact that the above probably isn't correct SQL Syntax but you get the idea of the structure. Am I wong in believing that an INSERT into OtherTable should fail the Foreign Key Constraint test, if either ID or ID2 is null when being inserted into OtherTable ie INSERT INTO OtherTable (OID, ID, ID2) VALUES (1, 123, NULL) or INSERT INTO OtherTable (OID, ID, ID2) VALUES (1, NULL, 123) Your assumption that the insert statement ...Show All
