• SQL Server Error during install of SqlServer 2005 64 Bit edition - please help!

  Hi Folks,    I'm receiving an error when i'm trying to setup a maintenance plan. I'm getting weird errors (and cannot continue) and i'm thinking it's related to a 32 bit error i received during installation on a 64 bit edition.    Background    We have a sql server behind hosted on a dedicated 64 bit box out of SanFran. The hosting company installed the 32 bit version of SqlServer 2005 standard on the box and I requested them to remove it and put the 64 bit edition on. They removed the 32 bit edition and installed the 64 bit edition. So far so good. I installed sp1 and that was fine. I then tried to start a MAINTENCE PLAN and was denied -> the component was not installed. I've asked them to install th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Concurrency Problems

  Hi Vb Gurus, I am writing a simple application, just like the Microsoft Outlook Task, one problem I have encountered is the "concurrency error" when updating the table. I only have one database, but since the applciation needs at least three forms which is also using the same dataset, therefore i have dataset, dataset1, & dataset2. In my opinion since I am only using one database, then therefore when I update one dataset, then the other dataset should also be updated Is this wrong I also tried to update all the 3 datasets but I still have the same concurrency error. Please help me to resolve this conflict thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataBinding:ComboBox doesn't refresh on Collection change - How do I notify the Target of a collection change

  I have a ComboBox which binds to a volatile collection. When the collection is changed, the ComboBox (drop-down) list isn't refreshed if it has already been dropped down by the user. If the user does not drop-down the list before the collection change, then it does a fresh read on the source and gets the correct data. I'm wondering if there is a notification event that I need to raise other than the standard PropertyChanged to force the ComboBox to refresh. Note: The collection object has no access or awareness of the control (as it shoudl be) so it can't be done manually. Thanks Nik       I've tested the ComboBox, It does refresh its visuals when the underlying data bound collection chang ...Show All

Is that correct The Web test viewer attempts to display as much of the Web test as it can when you replay it, but it has limitations. The Web test res ...Show All
