• Visual Studio Express Editions Programming Sudoku

  Well I just bought teh book Programming Sudoku, and I ran into a few problems. When I saw that you needed Visual Studio 2005 I was upset, but tehn I read on and found out it says C# shouldnt have a problem so im using Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition. Ive gotten pretty far in the book, and its in the Code section where i ran into a few problems! Heres what the bok says to do, Public Class Form1 '---dimension of each cell in the grid--- Const CellWidth As Integer = 32 Const cellHeight As Integer = 32 And thats where I hit the problems!

• SQL Server Enable and disable websync.log

  Hi, is there a way how to enable / disable logging on web merge synchronization into the file websync.log The file exists in the ISAPI folder, on some machines there are some messages, on others there is nothing. There are Timeout messages on the client during synchronization and we need to find where is the problem, if it is on the server side or if it is a network error or something else. Thanks, Pavel I dont know how you got into this situation, but here is what you can try: Check if you have this key in your registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Replication\WebSyncLoggingOff Is this value 1 If it is, reset it to 0.

• Visual C++ COM DLL, regsvr32 and manifest - blech!

  I have a COM DLL that relies on MSVCR80.dll and when I try to register it with regsvr32.exe I get a "loadlibrary failed -2147220473" error.  If I create a regsvr32.exe.manifest file and place it with regsvr32.exe, then it works.  There has to be a better solution though.  I can't count on target PCs having regsvr32.exe.manifest installed (and I'd rather not install it if possible). Yeah it is a bit of a pain but this change to security in Windows is long over due IMO. In the long run I think it will be worth. Average users will be able to perform most activities (especially those that aren't admin activities) without opening up the whole of their OS to attack by running with an admin token. B ...Show All

• Visual C++ error LNK2001

  Hi, (I saw the post on same subject but it seems to be a little different. so I'll use some word from that post!) There is a project earlier written in VC++ 6.0.  I opened the same project in VS. NET 2005 and I am trying to compile.  The code compiles properly (with couple of warnings) but while linking I am getting unresolved external symbol errors like this: The linker seems to have problem with seeing .obj from files in program (which are in the debug directory). It doesn't seem that the /Zl switch or the /NODEFAULTLIB  are on. 1>Linking... 1>Utm.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RTC_Shutdown 1>Zone.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _RTC_Shutdown 1>Zones.obj ...Show All

• Visual C++ Manifest files on VS 6 and VS 2005

  I'm porting several VS 6 apps to VS 2005. The way I got XP themes to work in the VS 6 apps was to embed a manifest file in the rc file. I understand that VS 2005 will automatically do this, but I need to mainatain backwards compatibility with VS 6 (large customer base, legacy libraries, etc., etc.). If I try to compile the VS 6 rc file, VS 2005 complains about duplicate MANIFESTs. If I set the VS 2005 environment to not embed a manifest, the app is not themed under XP. So my question is, how can I set up the source so I will have only one set of sources, and be able to compile under VS 6 or VS 2005, and get proper XP theming with both Please check the link Using WindowsXP Visual Styles ...Show All

• SQL Server Simplest "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" failure

  I'm perplexed and in need of a sanity check ... Instance of SQL2K5-SP1 on Server2003R2. Created two databases Test1 and Test2, create single 2-column table (tblTest)in Test1 with one row of data. Create SSIS package to transfer the table and its data to database Test2 using "Transfer Objects Task". Fails with error code 1073548784. I have tested for security issues and don't beleive these to be the cause: I have monster privelidges and can successfully use SSIS packages to execute CREATE TABLE etc. Have also tried most combinations of Task options (eg COPY ALL OBjects etc etc) Have tried this on three different servers: same results. This simple test is the result of distilling down problems I'm having with SSIS ma ...Show All

• SQL Server Slow Master package execution

  We have been working with SSIS for a while and we have not found a solution or a reason for this. We have a master package that calls 10 packages in sequential order. (as shown below). If we execute each one of the package separately the run in less than 2 minutes, but when we call them through the master package the execution time start increasing as follows: Child 1 (2 min), Child 2 (3 min),, Child 3 (4 min), Child 4 (6 min), Child 1 (7 min), and so on. The execute package task has the ExecutionOutOfProcess = false (when we set it equal to True even takes longer to execute, it was creating a dtsHost.exe process for each child and always remain in memory after the package finished executing). Can someone please provide a solution or a wo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Validate Me

  I'm not getting the validation behavior I'm expecting in my application. My form has a TabControl which, among other controls, contains a ComboBox. The form also contains a BindingNavigator control to work with the BindingSource. The ComboBox is bound to another binding source. The ComboBox has a DataSource from which its item collection is filled and its ValueMember and DisplayMember properties are set. The ComboBox DropDownStyle is set to DropDownList (so that the user must select from the list, and cannot enter anything else not in the list.) In the form’s class, I added a method to handle the ComboBox Validating event. In the form’s Save Button I call Me.Validate(). When I set the form's AutoValidation to EnableAll ...Show All
