• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 instance can't start with TCP/IP

  I can't get an instance of SQL Server 2005 to start using TCP/IP. The issue is pretty basic: I have a local SQL Server 2005 that I can get to run and connect to it using Named Pipes. The problem is that from a remote machine, although I can connect to it using Named Pipes, ASP.NET can't connect to it (when I'm in design mode, I can connect to the SQL server to configure Data Sources, but at run-time, it refuses to work). So, I tried to switch to TCP/IP. I can't get it to work on the local machine. I get the following errors: SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems. TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Symbols loaded in cpp file but not in dll file?

  'Hello, Although I'm very new to C++ and the Visual.Net environment, I had gotten this exact same quadratic.exe program to run previously. (I had installed Visual C++ 2005 Express with SDK Developer for Windows 2003 R2.) Now, for no apparent reason, I get the below debug code. (I get similar output for all my existing programs; I can enter input to console but get no output.) There must be a simple fix, but I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help Thanks.

• SQL Server Toggle Item Functionality Lost in Excel Export

  I have a report with 3 tables (all of which use toggle items), and their visiblity is based on a user-entered parameter. This works perfectly for what I'm trying to accomplish and looks good in the report manager. However, when it is exported to Excel, I lose all of my toggle items and everything in the particular table is displayed. If I remove the visiblity expression and show all 3 tables all the time, the toggle items work as expected in Excel. Any ideas Here is the Hidden expression I am using on the tables: =iif(Parameters!ReportView.Value = "TEST" , false , true ) Hi sorry I can't help, but i am having a similar problem, however mine is not quite as complicated, i have one t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Joining DirectSound to existing app

  I am trying to use DirectX DirectSound which I need to attach to an existing Windows application in order to capture a signal. Since playing sounds is easier, I decided first to attach a button to the existing application that would play a sound. The DirectX 9.0 documentation seems to have no direct tutorials in which such a function is attached to something else. I have done a fair amount of experimenting but am stuck. Specifically, (1) (this is probably trivial) I don't know how to specify the "control" variable in the method Device.SetCooperativeLevel(). (2) (apparently more serious) the instruction "dsDevice = new Device();" throws the exception "[description of instruction] is attempting managed execution insi ...Show All

• Visual C# MDIParent - Tracking Key Presses on Child Frames ?

  Is there a way of triggering events (ie. keypresses) in the MDI Parent when the focus is on a MDIChild I want to configure standard function keys for the all frames handled by the MDI parent. Also, I have little control on the MDIChild frames... other than just calling them. Any help would be appreciated :) You can simply set the KeyPreview property of the MDIParent to true. This will make all the keyboard events targeted to the Child forms available to the MDIParent as well. Actually, MDIParent will receive the event first, so you have a chance of filtering certain keypresses. To do so, you need to set the SuppressKeyPress property of the event argument to true. For instance: p ...Show All

• .NET Development C# Com Interop problem - should be simple!

  I have some trivial vb6 sample code that uses a com dll to interface to talk to some hardware but I can't seem to port it over to C# Interop successfully.

• .NET Development Is C# NetworkStream.Read() a processor efficient waiting mechanism

  I have some C# code that reads data from a local socket using the NetworkStream.read() method. I have the NetworkStream.ReadTimeout set to 'infinite' so it will continue waiting as long as possible for data. There may be long gaps where there is no data on the socket, so I am worried that I am wasting procesor time in my thread that just sits in a read() waiting for data. I have a thread dedicated to reading data from the socket, but I still don't want the system giving my thread time-slices if most of the time it is just waiting for data. The question is, does the NetworkStream.read() internally use a processor efficient mechanism to wait for data, like a mutex or a monitor or some such. So should I replace the following code: NetworkSt ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Jim, You are correct, 20% is probably the worst I have seen. Unless you do some real thight loop memory operations. Most people never talk about poorly written code either, which is slow regardless of programming language. There is some horribly inefficent examples for every language out there. Having said that, I find it a lot harder to optimize c++ for performance, than c#. The guts is in the algorithms, if you get them right it should not really matter if you write your code managed c#.
