• SQL Server Can I run the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition in Standard Edition Mode?

  As an ISV, I want to certify my product on Standard Edition. I am using Developer Edition everywhere. Is there a way I can do the certification using the Developer Edition, or do I need to obtain/purchase a copy of the Standard Edition I think you're asking if there's some way to temporarily turn off features in the Dev Edition that aren't available in the Standard Edition. That's an interesting idea but it's not something we support directly in SQL Server 2005. To absolutely insure that you didn't include any non-STD features in your app or to get precise STD performance/footprint characteristics, I guess you need a copy of STD. Paul ...Show All

• Visual Studio Still show as Trial version after upgrade into Non-Trial version of VS2005

  Hi, I have a problem with VS2005. At first, I had standard version of VS2005 in my computer and it worked fine. A few months later, my boss asked me to install Team Suite (trial version) and it worked fine too (except it's a trial version). A month later, we bought Team Edition for Software developer version. After uninstalled the trial version and installed "Team Edition for Software Developer", the trial version still shows up on About Form with # of dates remain. I have tried many different ways to cleanup that “trial version” but "trial version" stills there. Please help. Regards, JDang I found the solution on the internet. You can try this technique by rem ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Count and display in cell

  Ok I have an Excel workbook that contains a schedule (51 worksheets total). Each cell has intials in it and if that person has taken a day off the cell is highlighted a certain color (yellow, rose, or red). What I need to do is have something that goes through and counts what intials have what color and then display in a cell the number. So: If cell contains "initials" and cell color is "color" Then count and display in "cell" Example: If cell contains "JJ" and cell color is "Yellow" Then count and display in "A2" I know it is possible to do this but I'm not sure how.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom authorization

  I'm writing an application where the user can either log onto the app using a username and password that is stored in the database or by using their windows domain account. I'm trying to write a service that will return the user's ID (in the db it's specified as a Guid) given either the user name and password as it's specified in the database or the user's domain account. In order for the user to log on using their domain account they must have their domain account associated with their userId in the database. Once the user has been authenticated I would then like to use their id (if possible, if not each user will have an app username and password that I can use instead) to authenticate them each time they call into other services (us ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating a panel style with default styles for child controls.

  I would like to create a style that sets default styles for a panel's children based on their type, such as a default style for buttons, labels, etc. I tried creating styles in the panel's style's Resources property. For example: <Style TargetType="Grid"> <Style.Resources> <Style TargetType="Button> <!--...snip...--> </Style> <Style TargetType="Label"> <!--...snip...--> </Style> </Style.Resources> </Style> This seems to work fine for buttons, but doesn't work for labels. I can't figure out why. I've tried just about everything I can think of. Please help. Thank you. -Kevin It looks l ...Show All

  Is there a default setting I can change in IE7 that will stop the jumping when I try to scroll using a mouse wheel It's almost as bad as what I see when I'm connected remotely to another machine.

For "Scroller", set to the following: Check the box labeled "Use MS Office compatible scroll only." Also, check the box labeled "Scroll in active window only." Works fine after making those changes. ...Show All
