• SQL Server sp_helptext in select statement

  Hi, I need to get one trigger script and save it into a table or files....anyway this works well exec sp_helptext 'triggername' But, how can I save this rows into a table because I cannot execute this Insert into mytables select sp_helptext 'triggername' Can I work around this cheers, You can do: Insert myTable exec sp_helptext 'triggername' Assuming that myTable is defined properly. If your goal is to get the trigger definition for saving, you can reverse engineer in query analyzer or the management tool, depending on your version. If you are putting the values into a table, for some reason, you need to be aware that sp_helptext returns a number of rows and only a single column. If you ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) storyboard trigger based on time iteration

  I have looked within Blend and coud not figure out how I can have animation begin based on a particular timespan/iteration of another storyboard timeline. Is there a way to do this within Blend or can someone explain in code how to accomplish this Timeline1 for some object (say, rectangle) begins animation based on a button.click for 10 seconds. Timeline2 needs to begin for another object (say eliipse) begins animation based on 5 secs have passed within Timeline1. I dont want to tie it to the button click for timeline1 just the time iteration. I think you are looking for something like this < Storyboard > < DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName = ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Problem Indexing E-mails with WDS 3.0 Beta 2

  I have upgraded WDS to Product Version 6.0.5486.108 {3.0 Beta 2 for Windows XP (KB917013)}. It seems to be indexing my files and running well but none of my e-mails are included. I have Outlook 2003 (11.8010.8036) SP2. As an experiment I have installed Google Desktop Search. It has no problem picking up all the e-mail messages on my HDD in the *.pst files. WDS does not index them at all. Just to give you an idea (of the magnitude of the problem) -- Google Desktop Search identifies more than 100,000 files on my HDD when indexing is complete; WDS only finds ~ 26,000! The difference is the missing e-mails. What is the 'trick' Just to add to my confusion Windows Desktop Search is not listed when I open Settings/Control Panel/Add or Remove P ...Show All

• SQL Server insert error

  I have a database using a sql backend and an access front end, which was upsized. I am trying to add employees to the employee table and I am getting the following error: Violation of Primary Key Contraint 'aaaatblEmployees_PK. Cannot insert duplicate key in object. I am going right to the access front end to add these employees to the table. The primary field is autonumbered in access and when it upsized to sql the identity increment was set to 1 automatically. Could this be conflicting with the field in access I made a local table of the employee table and I was able to insert records fine. What can be wrong. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Recover files directly from TfsVersionControl database?

  First off, let me say that I'm fully aware that not backing up my databases was dumb.  I used to be a sysadmin before I got into software development so this is kind of like the equivalent of a doctor smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day.  I should know better.  That said, I had my TFS running in a virtual server on a USB hard drive and it dropped on the floor yesterday while TFS was running.  I've got bad blocks on the drive and it's pretty dead.  The only TFS database I was able to retrieve was TfsVersionControl.  I've mounted it on another SQL Server and I can access it.  So, theoretically, I've got my files.  (I also was able to get the reporting services encryption key.) Here's ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to Create COM project in VS 2005?

  Hi, I am the beginner of the COM. Does anyone can tell me if I want to create my own COM project, what project template I need use Thank you in advance!! It gives you less features than ATL and some features like dual interfaces and events are more difficult. MFC COM makes sense when you have a fat client written in MFC and want to make it an OLE automation server. But for pure code components or ActiveX components I would always take ATL -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Authentication - Winforms

  I am trying to understand the very complex security model offered by WCF. I think it will help if I explain what "I want/ have". I want a service that essentially hosts a secured data layer. I have a business model where the business objects are created in a business object library with the intent for the objects to to be accessed via a proxy (similar to remoting). Only the model is abstracted such that each individual object does not requires its own individual contract. The service operates on the data layer. So, lets say I have a business object: Person. I do not create a service contract (individually) for Person because Person operates on a managed Data Layer where the client is working with a proxy and the proxy ...Show All

• Visual C# Beginner question about method overloading!

  Can someone please explain to me what a method overload actually is and maybe possibly give me a code example in C# for me to see I am looking to land an entry level dev job and need to know this question! Thank you! Method overloading is when you have two or more methods with the same name, but different parameter signatures (excluding the return type), for example:   using System;   namespace ConsoleApplication1 {     class Program     {         static void Main( string [] args)         {           &n ...Show All

• Windows Forms Refresh Form Without Changing Its Position

  I have tried the two following methods and i can achieve refresh purpose but i can't keep the position of the windows. Basically, i hope to refresh the windows which means reexecute from the form_load action without closing or disposing it. Once we dispose or close it, the position will definitely change when we call it out again. May i know how to solve this Thank you.   Method 1 Private Sub new_b_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles new_b.Click Me .Close() Me .Dispose() Dim display_form As New current_form display_form.Show() End Sub   Method 2 Private Sub new_b_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Hand ...Show All
