• Visual Studio This page cannot be displayed blah, blah, blah.

  Why does Document Explorer bark up a lung when trying to display a page that it supposedly found in SQL BOL The search term is very complex: "sysobjects" in Technology = "TransactSQL" Having spent a little time now with the new system I gotta tell you, when looking for documentation I am NOT looking for an experience, I am looking for information specific to my question. In this case, Document Explorer successfully wastes my time by forcing me come here to find out why it doesn't do the most simple and mundane task I could request of it: Display content stored in the default location on my local harddrive. Even when it is successful it releases a torrent of information of negligible value and questionable appli ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why XNA requires C# Express, not the Studio version?

  I'm new to XNA and I'm using VS2005. I just want to use XNA with VS2005 but it requires C# Express to be installed. That's a waste of disk space if I must install another version on my PC. I have two questions: Can I use XNA with VS2005 And if there is no other way, if I must install C# Express on my PC, will any conflict happens with the Studio version However, the download page for C# Express states the following. "Before installing, you must uninstall any previous Beta, CTP or Tech Preview versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0." So, you're okay with a full version of them, but not with Beta, CTP or Tech Preview versions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unable to draw a connector when toolbox is floating

  When a user uses a floating toolbox instead of a docked toolbox, the connectors won't work properly. The user is unable to draw a line between two shapes. Instead the first selected shape is dragged. When the toolbox is docked again, the connectors work just fine. We have created several designers and the all have the same issue. Is this a known bug Ronald Thanks, I will report bugs myself, next time. But I can't find the bug in the list. What is the Id of the bug Ronald ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Multiple Problems in Same Class?

  Hi, I have a rule where I want to return multiple Problems for the same class. Adding new Problem instances to the Problem collection is allowed, however only ONE problem is ever reported. For example, given the following rule: public override ProblemCollection Check( Class c) { Problems.Add( new Problem (GetResolution( "Problem 1" ))); Problems.Add( new Problem (GetResolution( "Problem 2" ))); Problems.Add( new Problem (GetResolution( "Problem 3" ))); return Problems; } The output is only ever "Problem 1" for each class. Is this a known issue Thanks, Duncan Dunca ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat File into multiple SQL 2005 Tables.

  Probably a stupid and regularly asked question but I can't seem to find an answer, so here goes, we have 16 .txt files, some with over 350 columns. That info from each individual file needs importing to multiple sql tables. need to look at sql table1 does record exist if not create new then add in data once its been transformed eg datetime from yyyymmdd into datetime values [managed to get this using derived column] for first 20 columns, otherwise do update for the 20 columns... then look at sql table2 and repeat for next n columns.... So I was wondering is it going to be better to write this as a dtsx package if so can you point me to an example or should I just write the code as part of a code behind page that scrapes t ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic DSN in Report

• Visual C# WebBrowser hyperlink click events

  I am using a webbrowser control in my C# application. I would like to know if there is any way to capture the URL of the hyperlink that I click. I need to suppress the default navigation of the browser and process the captured URL in my own way with some modification. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, pravi Hi, you could capture clicked url in the WebBrowser's navigate event and cancel the default navigation to the target Url, something like in the following code: private void webBrowser1_Navigating( object sender, WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e) {     if (e.Url.AbsoluteUri == " http://www.yoursite.com ")     {   & ...Show All

• Gadgets Difference between Gadgets and Desktop applications

  Hi, Can anyone please list out the major differences between Gadgets in the sidebar and any Desktop applications.     Regards, Santosh Kalkeri Desktop applications are likely to be far richer because you are not constrained by the size of the application (as opposed to the limited gadget size) and the technologies at your disposal are far greater (as opposed to browser-based technologies of a gadget). However, the flexibility of a gadget to dock to the side of a screen, automatically load at runtime, be non-intrusive, etc. all make gadgets really appropriate for several functions. For example, you could never build the richness of Office or iTunes in a gadget. On the other hand, I ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting on Active Directory

  I belive it is possible to use active directory as a datasource for a SQL Report Services Report. Anyone know how I go about this geoff Hi,   I think that is a C# example. (which is fine I suppose, but it doesn't help me. )   Does anyone know of or have any information on how to create a report in Reporting Services 2005 that accesses Active Directory   If I try the "Microsoft OLE DB Prodiver for Microsoft Directory Services" I can get a connection.
