• SQL Server SQL 2K DB ATTACH PROBLEM

  Regarding SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, I get a message that the DB I am trying to attach does not have an entry in the sysindexes table and if I try using the copy wizard, it cannot even see the db as one of its source files. Before any of this happened, I physically copied the file from another SQL instance's data directory to a new one but I did not first detach it. I don't think that was necessary because the instance and it services was not running at the time. Should it turns out that this is the whole problem, is there anything I can do to make SQL Server see this database so it can be attached I replaced my primary hard drive and re-installed Windows and SQL Server on it. I then installed my old hard drive with my old Window ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Open an output file

  Hi there. I am using a serially connected camera with a C# application. My camera replies to the application with a visible ACK and then wirh non-visible bytes. I can read the bytes sucessfully but I cannot print them in an output *.txt file. The application opens the file but nothing is printed on it. In addition, I would like see on my screen only the ACK reply and not the symbol of the non-visible bytes (255 dec. in ASCII code). Here is the code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO.Ports; using System.IO; namespace serialport3 { public partial class Fo ...Show All

• Visual C# Open the tables I created with VS2005 using SQL Server

  Hi, I finally managed to have a C# application where I can add, erase, and save data to a table. However it seems I can't do that when I want to work with columns defined as image date type, so I wanted to open my table using SQL Server Express and add the images from there, so I can have them available in my C# application. What process should I follow to do that I have created databases in SQL before and they work well, but I don't know what file from my C# application to open from SQL server when I want to access the tables I created directly from VS2005; or if I have to do something additional to just open a file from SQL Server to access my VS2005 application tables. Any ideas please Thanks, ICC ...Show All

• SQL Server How can one Connect (remotely) to SQLExpress which is installed on "Windows XP Home"

  Hi all, I have to deal with a private network of laptops which are all equiped with preinstalled "Windows XP home" I've installed SQLExpress on one of these, but I cannot connect on it from the rest of the laptops. (I've successfuly done this with "Windows XP profesional" though, and local connections work fine as well). I've already setup the SQLExpress to accept conections throuigh TCP/IP but I can not think of something else. (Security comes to mind, but I do not know how to resolve it on "Windows XP Home").

• Visual Studio Sandcastle and IDL Files

  http://blogs.msdn.com/sandcastle/archive/2006/08/13/697859.aspx#comments States the following: "We are currently looking at the naming convention and will probably rename MRefBuilder to Mreflector for Sandcastle RTW . We also expect the Sandcastle reflection data format to be targeted not only by MReflector , but also by unmanaged reflection tools (for example, a UReflector tool that parses IDL or header files) and SReflector (for generating schema documentation). In order to make it easier for other to target the reflection data format, we plan to supply an XML schema file that defines the format."

• .NET Development Changes made to multiple tables

  Hello all, This may sound rather silly (a newbie question...), but is there a way to have more than one table in a dataset, and to have the dataAdapter updated afterwards with changes that were made to all tables If not (as I believe would be the case), what is the easiest way to go about this Am I obliged to create a dataAdapter & dataset for each table if I wish to minimize the usage of dataAdapter.update dataAdapter.fill methods (initializing/filling the Dset & Dadapter upon Form load, then having a certain point to update, instead of updating with every click event and the likes..) Hope this was coherent enough , thanks for any answer.. Hey Bill, thanks for the suggestion- the only problem is that I get an SqlException s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office InsertAutotext() not working properly in VSTO 2005. (Word, C#)

  This is my problem. I have a Word-template created in Word 2000. I use this template as template to create a VSTO-enabled version of the same template for Word 2003 (basically nothing more than adding an actionpane and stripping out the old VBA-junk.) The template has several autotextentries and I thought it would be a piece of cake to just convert this into C# using the nice litte bookmark object which has both a text attribute and a InsertAutotext() method. You fill in the text and call the method. Seemed straightforward enough. Well, I was wrong. When it does work, once in about every 200 times, it indeed is straightforward enough but It just doesn't work the other 199 times and for the life of me I cant figure out why. When I ...Show All

• Visual C# Unhandled exception only when running in release without debugger attached.

  I am beyond baffled by this. My application throws a System.AccessViolationException only when it is run in Release mode without the debugger attached (as in, I run the exe directly, outside of Visual Studio or I do "Start Without Debugging" in the Debug menu). Debug mode - everything works great; Release mode with debugger attached - everything works great. The very nature of how this error is thrown makes it impossible to debug, so I have no idea where to look into correcting it. Has anyone else ever come across such an error Does anyone have an idea how to hunt down such an error The application is not just a few hundred lines, it is easily on the upper end of tens of thousands of lines. I cannot seek it out with a debugger be ...Show All

• .NET Development passing SOAP parameters to a WebService from Firefox

  Hey all, I've got a web service running that expects 5 parameters from the client. I can pass the parameters through just fine using IE, but I'm not having any luck in FireFox. In IE I'm building the soap envelope as a string and doing an xmlHttp.send. I was initially having a problem here with the parameters not being received, but was able to solve that by including " xmlns="" " within the parameter node (i.e. <name xmlns="">value</name>). The problem I'm running into with Firefox is that I don't seem to be able to attach an empty xmlns value to the node. Without that my parameters are not being received. Is there a way to alter the service/WSDL to not require the empty xmlns attribute, or, alter ...Show All
