• Visual Studio Team System Suggestion: Refactor across a whole project

  The schema that I am currently working with has over 1000 tables in it. It was created using scripts that have been adapted from oracle scripts. Obviously the person that did the conversion didn't bother about things like best practice and just did a find and replace on the Oracle script until it got to a syntax that SQL Server would accept. Hence we have the following problems now inherent: Every field that should be an integer is a numeric(8,0) We have VARCHAR(1) fields. This is bad practice - they should be CHAR(1) These VARCHAR(1) fields contain the value "Y" or "N". This would be better represented as a bit field. Loads of others... I am not going to go through 1000 tables to search for all ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.AddNew resulting in InvalidCastException

  I have a BindingSource component bound to a strongly-typed DataSet. If I call the AddNew() method of the BindingSource to add a new row, I get an InvalidCastException : Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.String'. I've set the NullValue property of all the columns in my DataSet to '(Empty)' but when adding a new row, DBNull is still returned. I could fix this by changing each column's DefaultValue property to "", but I don't want to do this because the Access database which stores the data does not allow zero-length strings, I want the default value to be DBNull but to appear as an empty string when databound. What do I need to do to achieve this ...Show All

  Hi, I want to set up a SSL connection with client certificate using HttpWebRequest using Visual studio 2005 The client certificate always causes an error, althoug when I use my browser it works fine.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why alphablend api doesn't work on VB 2005 Express?

  Due to the speciality of my purpose, I just come to use Alphablend API. But somehow it seems the API doesn't work properly. I've already looked into some references and documents, and found the fact that Alphablend returns '0(false)' when it is not correctly loaded. The API returns '0' almost every time. I've even used varied modification of same API, but it still doesn't work and returns '0'. Please let me know what is wrong, and how can I run 'Alphablend' API correctly on VB2005.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XInput Common controller 32 bit wont install

  Hi I need to use XInput for a program I am writing in VB.NET 2005 (to use the xbox 360 controller). However I am not sure what software I need to download. I thought I needed the Microsft Common Controller 32bit but when I tried to install it, it says "Installation did not complete" Please help me! Thanks Mine said the same thing when I installed it but when I plugged in the controller, it worked fine. Have you tried plugging the controller in, even though you got the message My thinking was that the DXSDK or something else installed the driver already and the error is just from the driver already being there. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException was unhandled

  Let me just say at the outset that I know nothing about C# (yet) and am trialing the XNA beta to try and get into it. I do know VB and some C, however. Once I had everything installed, I tried a few example programs including the Spacewar project, but I cannot run any of them. They build fine, but I can't run the .exe, and it crashes and asks if I want to send a report to MS. If I "Start Debugging" instead, I get the error "NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException was unhandled" on the "this.GameComponents.Add(this.graphics);" line. I have no idea where to even start.

• SQL Server Top 10 Chart grouped by Month

  Hello, I have a bar chart that I need to show the top 10 items by Month. What I get currently is a chart by month with the total Top 10 Items (rather than the top 10 per month). I have tried adding a scope onto my Value expression but that didn't help. =countDistinct(Fields!incident_ref.Value, "catGrpDate") Please Help! It sounds like you filter on the overall dataset or the overall chart. I suppose your chart has a "Month" group and a "Product" group. You should add a filter on the "Product" group, e.g.: =Sum(Fields!Revenue.Value) TopN =10 -- Robert ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting timeout issues

  Are there any known workarounds for the really annoying lengthy remoting timeouts on down servers This is particularly a problem when using .Net remoting and the server isn't available, it can take up to 2-3 minutes for the line of code to timeout when accessing a remote object. I have tried implementing a Ping class before I access the object, but sometimes this just doesn't work if the server is in the process of shutting down... Obviously having an application hang for that long is unacceptable.. I am threading everything however my application will not cleanly close if the thread is hung waiting for a socket timeout. A sample for you.. Nope it seems no one really paid attention to the issue. It still exists and the o ...Show All
