• Visual Studio Team System Proxy server questions

  What are the licensing considerations for installing the Team Foundation Proxy server other than obtaing the standard Team Foundation Server, windows 2003, IIS and the client connection licenses Is there any special considerations for having some clietns connect direct and others connecting through the proxy Nope. Clients need a CAL whether they use the proxy or not. The proxy machine needs all the licenses you mentioned but does not need its own CAL. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to link buttons and textboxes, to do the same thing?

  I have some tab's, and need to link some buttons and textboxes at different tab's.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Maximizing throughput with streaming

  Hi All, I'm trying to learn about WCF while solving a problem I have right now but need a little help on the performance side.  I have a remote filesystem with about 1000 directories, containing anywhere from 1 to 1500 files each.  File sizes range from 300KB to 3MB each.  I need to mirror the remote filesystem locally over a VPN connection. So, I've created a client server using WCF, net tcp binding and streaming.  It's all functional now but the throughput is very bad.  The pipe for the VPN connection is enormous, with over 300Mbps available, but the latency is pretty high. I do know that my files aren't large enough to require streamed transfer rather than buffered but I'm practicing for another problem ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Forcing Values on 'Current' row fields thru BindingSource

  I've build a simple edit form by dragging all fields, 1-by-1, off my (Data Sources-> Accounts) table onto a form.  VS automatically added binding navigator, dataset, table adapter, toolbar and binding source, all as expected.  On the 'Save Data' btn, I linked in my own routine:  accountsBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click.  To update some other fields which are not seen by the user. The problem is that certain fields never get added from the screen to the underlying current data row.  I put the bindingsource.current in a Watch and traced down to see that values never get set, altho some others do off the screen.  Mostly its the combobox values which are missing,  and subsequently m ...Show All

• SQL Server Determining data type of cell in cellset

  I need to determine the data type of individual cells, specifically if they are currencies or percentages. The Cell.Value property contains a Double and the Cell.FormattedValue may have a currency formatted string if it's defined correctly in AS; however, due to internationalization issues I obviously should not be looking at the FormattedValue property to determine the cell's data type. This seems like it would be easy, but so far I can not see how to do this using the available metadata brought back from a cellset. Any suggestions Thanks, Terry ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Trouble changing Label Text Permanently

  I have two custom fields in my application. By default, they are labeled Custom and Custom2. From the main screen I have set up a Text Box and Button to allow the user to rename the fields (the label) for their own use. The code I am using for the Custom field is below: Private Sub Change_Button_Click( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Change_Button.Click List_Screen.Player_InfoDataGridView.Columns(9).HeaderText = CustomChange.Text Filter_Form.Custom.Text = CustomChange.Text Filter_Form.Custom_2.Text = CustomChange.Text MsgBox( "Custom field has been changed to " & CustomChange.Text) CustomChange.Text = "" End Sub To explain some of the code I am using, List_Scree ...Show All

• Architecture .Net Remoting load balancer needed

  Hi I am looking for the best way to design or purchase a loadbalancer component using .Net remoting. I have an architecture where several servers using .net remoting are used to sevice client apps. The loadbalancer should conduct the call of any client app to the least loaded server. What I have done so far is implementing a small loadbalancer component that keeps track of the available servers and their load. When a new client app wants to login and use the services offered by the servers, it should ask (transparently) the loadbalancer for the least loaded server. The loadbalancer will then return an ObjRef object which the client app will use to authenticate itself to the least loaded server and start using its services. If an ...Show All

• .NET Development Can not detach database right after backup, why?

  Hello, I am writing a custom action using .Net(1.1) installer class. My goal is to backup a database and then detach it from MSDE2000. The backup seems works fine, but the detaching fail every time. The error message is like "You can not detach the database because it is in use". As I know, .Net1.1 only support synchronous executenonquery() operations, so the "detach" is supposed executed after "backup" is finished. so how can this error happen Anyway to solve this Thanks. Following are my codes: string conn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=(local); Initial Catalog= master; Integrated Security=SSPI;"; string SMconn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=(local); Initial Catalog= MYDB; Integ ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception: DataTable internal index is corrupted: '5'. on ...

  Hi, I have a problem with bindingsource component in framework 2.0. I have a combobox bound to a bindingsource which is also bound to a dataset with 2 related tables and a datagridview bound to the same bindingsource. What I want to do is : When the selectedindex property of my combobox changes, the corresponding cell value must be changed in the datagridview. But although the value in bindingsource changes, datagridview does not display the new value. That value is displayed after I move the mouse over that cell and make it invalidate its region manually. Another error I caught is the one that you can see as the subject of my post. I do not know why i have that message when I try to change the property of ((DataRowView)mybindi ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption for SSAS

  I wonder if someone could give some pointers here. I do have to offer cubes through a firewall to the outside for colleagues working at clients' locations. Therefore, I chose to use the HTML feature of SSAS, I use IIS to host the msmdpump.dll and secure the access through Windows User Accounts with password. There is no encryption on this channel. I know how to set up certificates in Windows2003 and IIS to protect Websites and access them through HTTPS (SSL). I would really want to use the same for my SSAS, but whenever I shift to SSL on Port 443 I cannot connect with my Excel to the SSAS. A web page in the same folder as the msmdpump.dll is still accessible, so the certificate is installed and distributed to the client correctly, an ...Show All
