• SQL Server A Little Basic Help needed (SQLServer 2005) Merge Replication

  Hi all, We are using SQL Server 2005, on Windows server 2003 R2. We Have Two Database Servers say DBServer1 and DBServer2, Now I wants to do Replication between these to servers, such that 1. The Changes at DBServer1 should be reflected at DBServer2 2. The Changes at DBServer2 should be reflected at DBServer1 3. Changes includes Data changes and Schema Changes 4. After every Synchronization Both Databases should be Identical I tried doing so, what i did was I cofigured Distribution at DBServer1, also Publisher and Publication at DBServer1 and Made a Subscription at DBServer2.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3d cube plus basic shader rendering problem.

  Here is the code, i know it's full of improper techniques as I am currently trying everything to make it work. MDX 1.1 in C# express. Trying to draw cube with texture using .fx file. Very little of the texture renders, can't see any outlines or primitives rendered on the cube. The parts that do render flicker so i know i am "looking" at the cube.. Changing the number of primitives and primitive type renders different portions of the texture but still all wrong. Cube code: primitive = new CustomVertex.PositionNormalTextured[36]; Vector3 topLeftFront = new Vector3(-0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f); Vector3 bottomLeftFront = new Vector3(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f); Vector3 topRightFront = new Vector3(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f); ...Show All

• Visual C++ Suggestions for code for records of varying formats

  I have a file with a variety of record formats. The code shown below is a sample of how I process the records. The code works; I will use it unless someone has improvements I can use. So I am only asking for comments and suggestions for the code. In this sample code, I have only four record types but in my actual code I have many more formats. Also, in the sample code, the data is supplied in the sample but of course for the actual code the data is read from a file. The code is creating a vector (typeSampleDataVector)  of the records, then processes the vector. The records will only be shown, I don't need to update them. I am actually creating the vector for use in a MFC document and the data will then be shown in custom wi ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework process mscorsvw.exe makes unexplained sound

  When my computer is sitting idle, every few minutes I hear the windows sound "Windows XP Exclamation.wav." With the task manager open and the processes listed in order of CPU usage, I can see that when this sound plays, the process mscorsvw.exe has just moved toward the top of the list and usually after a few seconds it goes back down toward the bottom. I have searched the internet and Microsoft.com for posts or explanations related to this problem, but I have found nothing. There is no ramped up hogging of CPU resources by the process mscorsvw.exe taking place on my computer, as many others on the internet have reported regarding this process. The sound is simply a nuisance and I would like to know why it is happening and if it ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSDN Download

  I downloaded the May 2006 MSDN (all three ISO's) a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed to install OK, I was under the impression that I would see a difference in VSE help/documentation, like the plethora of broken links etc would go away, and it wouldn't crash when I just down VSE - but alas nothing seemed to changed. Yesterday I installed another IDE to see if it handled nested partial classes better than VSE (or VS anything as I understand) it, imagine my suprise when I asked me which documentation set I wanted it to use, and one of the options was MSDN May 2006. There is was, no broken links, Interface definitions etc. How can I get VSE to integrate with MSDN May 2006 FYI the other IDE didn't handle nested partial classes very ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO w/o Excel and Outlook

  Hi, I wrote an add-in for Word. I want to distribute it with VSTO. But if the user does not install Outlook, installation cannot continue due to VSTO. I want to distribute this application with only one prerequisite: Word 2003. What should I do for this Thanks... The PIA Check takes a GUID command-line parameter. You pass it the various GUIDs of the office applications you want to check if the PIAs are already installed. If you are just wanting to check Word, you would call it as follows: PIACheck.exe {1C8772BD-6E6F-4C9D-8FF8-B5EA072F86EF} If the PIAs for Word are installed then the check returns zero (0). If they are not installed, then the check returns a non-zero value, and you'll want to install the office PIAs. AppCheck.exe works ...Show All

• SQL Server pass large xmlstring to sql server 2000 stored procedure

  Hi, Can I use DBType.XML in .net 2.0 to pass xml string to a stored procedure in sql server 2000 It's just that I know sql 2000 does not have xml type. If this is true then how is it possible to pass very large xml string to a stored procedure parameter Remember that the xml strings may be more than 10000 characters.
