• Visual Studio Disabling packages

  In the course of evaluating pre-release versions of several add-ins I've often been presented with an error message from VS asking to disable a misbehaving add-in or "package". One example is disabling the built-in unit testing support. This has piqued my interest in how to achieve this manually. Why There are many add-ins I use that provide overlapping functionality. ReSharper, for example, provides really nice code snippet support and refactoring. But ReSharper doesn't disable the built-in functionality it replaces. How do I do this How do I disable things like code snippet & refactoring support And yet there's obviously a way to disable packages that are not add-ins otherwise users would not b ...Show All

• SQL Server Copying databases

  Hello,   I'm attempting to launch a new ASP .NET site and I'm having problems moving my database, caused I'm sure by my own ignorance. I built the database in SQL Server 2005 Express but found that I couldn't use it to copy the database to the deployment server, so I uninstalled it and now I'm using a 6 month trial version of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. The server to which I want to copy my database is SQL Server 2003 (version 8.0.760). My first attempt succeeded in uploading the tables and their data, I then used the "Generate Scripts" command to produce a large query detailing how to create my stored procedures, I ran this script on the destination server and it eventually worked ok. However, for some reaso ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple NTVDM.exe

  I work for a corporation(TimeManagement Corporation) that uses a 16 bit application that runs in the virtual dos machine. Two years ago Microsoft released a security patch(MS04-012) that caused each new 16-bit file to open in it's own ntvdm thus not allowing our 16-bit application to communicate with other files that it calls. We contacted Microsoft about this but it was not taken care of until we posted on a forum. They then released a hotfix(KB841559) to fix this issue. We are now having the same problem with MS Windows Vista and would like to know if we can get a fix for this issue to allow our program to be compatable again. Possible scenarios where an app might be invoked in a new NTVDM are app ...Show All

• SQL Server should be simple - FLAT FILE - HEADER / DETAIL LINES

  I can't believe it's been a few days and I can't figure this out. We have a flat file (purchaseOrder.txt) that has header and detail lines. It gets dropped in a folder.

• SQL Server Localization and BUILTIN groups

  Is there a synonym for the group BUILTIN\Users which can be used for GRANT ... TO and sp_grantlogin/sp_grantdbaccess, but which will work on localized computers I have a number of automated unit tests I wish to run on two different computers. The process involves recreating a database if it does not exist and then granting access and privileges to the BUILTIN\Users group. The problem is that one computer is installed with a Swedish Windows XP Professional (the users group is called BUILTIN\Anvandare) and the other is an English WinXP MCE (the group is called BUILTIN\Users) so I cannot easily script this. An alternative is to be able to retrieve the respective name through a .NET class or the Windows API. Is any of this possible ...Show All

• SQL Server Timeout exception during long running stress test

  Hi, We have built two testing apps for sending and receiving files across the network reliably using SQL Express as the database backend. The apps seem to be working fine under light load. However during stress test, we always get the following exception: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." During stress test, both the sender and receiver are running on the same machine. Sender creates file fragments, store them in the sender database and then send out to the network. File fragments will be deleted from the sender database when the sender receives acknowledgement from the receiver. ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Framework 1.1 vs 2.0 (Does Installing .NET Framework 2.0 Make Installation of .NET Framework 1.1 Unncessary?)

  Hello all, I have been spending a good deal of time trying to figure out the implications of the .Net Framework 2.0.  Unfortunately, most of the resources I have found do a great job of talking around the subject, without really talking about it.  One of the most common statements made is that 1.1 was a Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment while 2.0 is more of a platform.  What does this actually mean to the programmer   Is it just a fancy way of promoting WinFX (which has strong ties to the .Net Framework platform) From what I can tell, the .Net Framework 2.0 is a replacement for 1.1, however I still see the majority of development happening in 1.1.  Is this because 2.0 is still ...Show All

• SQL Server AWE upper memory limit

  Hi, I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I am running SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2003 Standard edition (x32). I have 6GB of memory in it but have realised that Windows can't use more than 4GB (I have enabled /PAE and /3GB in the boot.ini). My question is: Can SQL Server make use of the extra memory I have in the server Otherwise I guess it is pointless having more than 4GB in there. Thank you for your help! Kind Regards Stefan Ghose Hello Stefan - The way memory is used between 32-bit processors, the various Windows operating systems and SQL Server can be confusing. Because of 32-bit architectures and software design decisions, the first 2GB of RAM in a Win ...Show All
