• SQL Server how to access named instance throug ip address

  I installed Named instance in SQL 2005 Server ( TESTAV\TESTNETAV ), now i am not able to acces this instance in SQL Query Ana.throug IP Address. i am able to access this instance through name How can i resolve this issue please help me out If you open up SQL Server Configuration Manager you can set up an alias under SQL Native Client Configuration, and in that alias you can specify the port that SQL Server assigned the named instance. (Default instances always use port 1433, but named instances always use different ports.) Once the alias is set up on your workstation you should be able to connect to the database. (BTW, you should be using Management Studio with SQL Server 2005, not Query Analyzer.) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem sorting DataGridView

  I've written myself a sortable filterable collection object that implements IBindingList. Last week i tested it all using dummy data and i'm sure it worked fine. I've spent a few days changing the datamodel to fit with my new frontend design and had a weekend away from my desk and when i come back to the office my sorting only half works. When i click on a DataGridView column header the list sorts in ascending order and that's as it is meant to be. If i click on another header it sorts in ascending order by that column's data. If I click the same column twice however it doesn't reverse the sort. I checked the code for sorting and all the code is there to do sorting in both directions. If i drive the collection from a test harness it works ...Show All

• Visual C++ stack function to simulate memory use

  Have a program that I need to build a stack function for. Any ideas on where to look for help - or does anyone have code needed . I want the stack function to update a two dimensional array (memorytable in code below). It would only update column 2 with a page number (as a character). But as user inputs data and the array becomes full - the oldest member in the column needs to be replaced with new data. If a page number is in page column and it is accessed again it needs to get a new time stamp - or go to bottom of stack It has to replace pages on a LRU (Least Recently Used) basis. This is the code I have so far - commented code and put it in bold to show where I'd like to add stack: #include <iostream> #include <conio.h> ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can anyone help to explain How to implement page transition like Newyork Times?

  There once was an article maybe refer to this topic http://www.designerslove.net/2005/10/page-transitions.html but now it seems no long be there. So can you help me to explain that Thank you! It will work in any situation where you have a Binding. In general you can apply the transition like this: <ContentControl Content="{Binding}" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource NYTimesTransition}" /> Whenever the result of the binding changes, the Transition will be performed. This looks a lot more complicated in the sample because of the crazy bindings to allow selection of different transitions. - Doug ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to control level of multisampling ?

  Hi all, I have a question: How can I control the level of multisampling I understood that with graphics.AllowMultiSampling = true the device will be set to use multisampling, if possible. But how can I control the level of multisampling, e.g. if I want to let the user to decide between 2x multisampling and 4x multisampling Another related question: Let's say I have a windowed (not fullscreen) device at a size of, say, 640x480. The device runs fine with multisampling. Now the user resizes that window to a larger size, say 1024x768. Will the device automatically be reset to no multisampling, if using multisampling would exceed the video memory Cheers, Christopher You should be able to hook the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WindowsCE, CF + Rijndael encrypt., I'm stuck

  VS 2005 supports both NETCF V1 and V2. Since CE is Unicode it's a good idea to get rid of char and use WCHAR instead all the time. This way you could simply pass string (or StringBuilder to pass string from native to managed). If you do need to pass char, conversion from Unicode would be needed on managed side or native side. Please take a look at these P/Invoke samples: http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/netcf/netcfsamples/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/pinvokelib.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfadvinterop.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html ...Show All
