• SQL Server surface area configuration

  Hi, we are having a strange problem when trying to configure the surface area of my sql server 2005. When we open the tool the only nodes that appears are: Reporting Services and Integration Services. But the Database Engine node is not showing. What do we have to do to access the Database Engine node and configure Remote Connection. Any help would be extremely appreciated... I got my hosting provider to re-install SQL Server. That fixed the problem. For whatever reason, their default drive image didn't work right. Once the install completed I was able to get into SA Config and enable remote connections. Hopefully, anyone else having this problem can re-install MSSQL with similar success. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sort with gridview

  Hello, I have been trying to get this to work now for 2 days and I must be missing something cause I don’t think it should be this hard. I have a gridview that I fill without using a datasourceid. All I want to do is be able to sort the columns however the user wants to. I have been able to find C code that helps but no examples with VB. I have got as far as being able to get to the sub gridView_Sorting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewSortEventArgs) but cant get past this point. Can anyone please give me a hint or send me to a good example on the web. Thanks Hi, How do you add the data to the grid manually Is the data in some sort of array that can be sorted If y ...Show All

• Visual C++ Corrupt Builds After Cancel

  Our team has a ~50 project solution with a few dlls, lots of libs, and three executables. If I do a build solution, and at any point during the build hit Control-C to cancel it, whatever is being built at the time I hit the button is now corrupt. It looks like it leaves the partially created .obj, .exe, or .dll around and doesn't detect that it only got halfway through. Is this a common symptom Is there some known fix (MSDN and google searches didn't turn up any hits) Our projects and solution are all converted from 2003, if that's any help. Thanks for any info, Chris Jurney Senior Programmer Relic Entertainment http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=101331 Closed ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't see System.ServiceModel in Add Reference

  Hi: I've just installed the July CTP of .Net 3.0 and its accompanying SDK. However, when I attempt to Add a reference to System.ServiceModel to a project in VS2005, I do not see System.ServiceModel listed on the .Net tab of the Add Reference dialog. However, the System.ServiceModel is in the GAC. This is happening on 2 machines. Anyone have any idea as to what may be going on here Thanks Lionel Madhu: Unfortunately, following these instructions caused a few problems - that seemed to show up after I had done the latest Microsoft Update. The 2 problems that showed up were: a. On attempting to view the design properties in VS for any control, a dialog pops up saying something like: "Package 'Presentat ...Show All

• .NET Development Automation Error Raised by VB6 App on a .NET component ever since installing .NET 2.0 Framework

  I noticed that a VB 6 app is no longer able to properly call a .NET component exposed with a COM interface that was compile via Visual Studio 2005, it raises an Automation error . Setting the application configuration file to point to the .NET framework v2.0.50727 does not help the situation.

• Windows Forms Bitmap Images

  Hi there! I am making images out of data arrays, and then displaying them in a form inside a picture box. The thing is, the display seems to be interpolating between pixel values in order to smooth out the image, to make it look better I guess. But I actually want a purely pixelated image, so that each pixel looks like a square block of a single colour (gray scale actually). I havent been able to find any setting or methods in the bitmap class to change the interpolation method, so if anyone can help me out that'd be great! Thanks a lot Joe Unfortunately I've done some tests with using Graphics to draw to a panel control and I get the same issues as a picturebox. But I must be missing something. You ha ...Show All
