• .NET Development html in dotnet??

  I'm using the googleapi to add more flexibility to searching google from a vb.net app I'm writing. I get a stream of html data back from google that has a title such as "The <b>best</b> ..." then I get a URL, then a snippet of information about the topic which may or may not have html included. My problem is how to display this Is there no control that can display html data I could use the webbrowser, but then I'd have to save the file out to an html file on disk and I'd rather avoid that if possible (just seems messy :) ), or is there a way that I can write a URL to the webbrowser as html text (as opposed to having it navigate to the URL) without having to print it out. I tried textbox, label, richtextbox etc, but no ...Show All

• SQL Server Recovering DB with only the .MDF file

  I saw the other thread that is related, but let me give you our circumstances. A drive failed and that drive had the SQL installation and the *.ldf files on it. The MDF files were unscathed. The drive has been rebuilt and I have reinstalled SQL 2000 SP3A on there (that is what was there before). I have tried attaching the MDF through the GUI and letting it create the log for me. This failed. I tried sp_attach_single_file_db, but this failed since the db was never dettached. I tried creating the db again, dettaching it, copying the old (good) MDF file over the newly created one and then attaching (using multiple attach approaches). It knows that the log file and mdf are not matched and won't let me do the attach. I also found DB ...Show All

  Hi there, A fair while ago I started a project, to try and launch a specific set of applications. Not windows programs.

• SQL Server Finding all views with a specific name, in all databases

  Hi, We are migrating to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and we have a view created in many of our databases. That view must be changed after the migration because it uses system tables and does not return the correct information in SQL Server 2005. To do that, I want to create an SSIS-package that loops through all the databases on a particular server. If that view exists in the database, I want to run a script that change the view. What I try to do: Set up a For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator Set the connection to my server Set the Enumerate property to "SMOEnumObj[@Name='Databases']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']" On the Variable Mapping page, place Index 0 in Variable User::dbName In the For E ...Show All

• SQL Server deploy sql server express to ISP

  To deploy sql server express to an ISP that supports Sql Server, I backed up the .mdf and .ldf files. I can connect to the ISP database with Sql Server Mangement Studio Express. That connection requires a password. When I try to execute 'restore', I get an error for no permission. Any ideas why I have no permission after a password has already been entered I sure appreciate any help. You will need to contact your ISP to discover what permissions you have on thier server. If you're getting a no permission error, it means that you don't have permission to perform a RESTORE on the server. SQL security is not all or nothing, you can be assigned a whole range of permissions that each imply certain rights. Is RESTORE the way ...Show All
