• SQL Server How to recover from mdf file (SQL Server 2000)

  Hi, My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file. Is there any way to recover my data Thanks in advance Regards, Edwin Try this undocumented stuff provided by Kevin [MS]. --- ========== 1. Back up the .mdf/.ndf files at first!!! 2. ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Practice - Implementing Dispose / Exposing the Disposable Resources

  I apologize if this thread is in the wrong forum. Our general rule of thumb is if our class owns a class level unmanaged resource or a managed resource that contains a Dispose method then we implement IDisposable on our class. So, for instance, we have a class level DataTable that we instantiate from within the class, since it has a Dispose on it, we implement dispose. No problem there. My question is, if we expose that class level DataTable that our class owns via a property, or return it via a function or even return it via a reference parameter....should we still clean it up via dispose We are divided here at our shop. I say no, my boss says yes. We are currently cleaning it up in the dispose. 8) My thought is we are sending t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WOW64 redirection seems broken for HelpPaneProxy.dll

  Hi All, My app launches the Vista help pane by accessing the HelpPaneProxy COM object using the hxhelppaneproxy.tlb from the Vista SDK. If I compile my app in 32 bit, my app successfully launches the help pane on Vista32, but not on Vista64. If I compile my app in 64 bit, my app successfully launches the help pane on Vista64, but obviously does not run in Vista32. I looked at the registry, and the WOW64 key associated with the HelpPaneProxy COM object is pointing to \windows\system32\HelpPaneProxy.dll, shouldnt this key point to \windows\SysWow64\HelpPaneProxy.dll is this a vista bug, or am I doing something wrong ...Show All

Adam13579, Your question can be divided into two parts: 1. Open file and fine the letters. However, you never mention what format of the file is. Suppose you create a text file and append the letters in the file, then open it. Try the following code; ' Overwrite the file.

  Hi, I can't install SP 6 for Visual Studio 6, either the VB6 cutdown version, or the complete VS6 version. I have Vista Ultimate version 6.0.6000.

Click 'OK' Setup then finishes. SP6 is not installed. I have about 100 applications I must maintain and recompile periodically. I now cannot do that. Does it mean I have ...Show All

• SQL Server publish report

  Hello, I have create a web base project that will programmatically publish report into report server 2005. But when i run the code, i need to create a shared data source and set the DataSourceReference. Is there any ways else so that i no need to create a shared data source but still can publish the report in report server 2005 using custom data source Thanks. You don't have to use shared datasource. You can just define a report specific datasource, in which case, all the datasource properties are embedded in the rdl. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159165.aspx ...Show All
