• SQL Server Transactional replication delete data

  In SQL Server 2005 SP1 we have a Transactional Replication with only this property in the articles: Action: Delete data... Ant this property in the publication: Don't send schema changes We have in the foreign keys NOT FOR REPLICATION = NO (Exigir para replicacion = "Si" in Spanish). We have one problem and one doubt: The problem is that when the sincronization goes wrong the table in the suscriptor is empty !!!!!. It seems that goes wrong because the foreign keys. The question is = Is necessary that NOT FOR REPLICATION = YES in all the tables , we don't want any check in the sincronization. Why the destiny tables appears empty . Is very dangerous. Thanks.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Adding Controls During Runtime

  I have to present inputs (textbox, combobox, etc) that are not known during design time. In the past this was pretty simple to do. You just add a new control to the Controls property of a form. How can I achieve the same thing with WPF Thanks Button btn = new Button(); btn.Content="hello world"; Grid.Setrow(btn,1); Grid.Setcolumn(btn,1) MyGrid.Children.Add(btn) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug? Loading 3rd Party WPF control libraries

  I’ve hit what potentially looks like a bug. We are creating and using 3rd party WPF controls in our Aurora XAML Designer, the WPF assemblies were loaded using System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile. newDependencyObject = _ElementToBeCreatedType.Assembly.CreateInstance(_ElementToBeCreatedType.FullName) as DependencyObject ; The control is created, but explodes when added to another WPF object. It complains about the version number and has XAML parse issues. Control works fine linked into an application For 3rd party controls to work properly in Aurora we found that the 3rd party control developer must change the following assembly version directive from … // You can specify ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to add caspol security settings for referenced assemblies

  I'm building an Outlook add-in using VSTO 2005 targeted at Outlook 2003. I've successfully added the SetSecurity project (from the MSDN "Deploying VS2005 Tools for Office Solutions Using Windows Installer" 2 part series) to my solution, which appears to properly configure security for my primary dll when my add in is deployed to another machine using my setup project. However, the SetSecurity project sample doesn't appear to set up permissions for the com objects referenced in my add-in and my add-in throws an error when I run it. Specifically, my add-in uses the CDO and web browser com objects, so I'm guessing I also need to add Caspol calls for the Interop.MAPI.dll and the Interop.SHDocVw.dll to my setup project What's ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Designing C# & XNA games

  Hi I'm currently learning C# from a couple of books with the sole aim of being able to use XNA.  I have just a couple of questions: At the moment I focusing on console (DOS like),OOPs, and so on.  With XNA, is there any point in learning Windows Forms programming   Also, I found that understanding & following game code is one thing but being able to design a game (or any program) is another thing entirely.  It's hard to code without some higher level plan or visual aid.  Are there any techniques or affordable software available that game designers use in the design process.  I've heard of things which might be applicable, such as :- Psuedocode, UML process diagrams, he ...Show All

• .NET Development Derived types and System.Collection.Generic.Dictionary?

  Hi, I have a Dictionary in one of my classes: private Dictionary<string, RobotPart> _parts = new Dictionary<string, RobotPart>(); RobotPart has many derived Classes (Rod, Joint, Body, etc.) . I have a method called GetFlatPartList that flattens out a treelike structure of RobotPart objects, for easy iteration through the child objects. Hopefully, once I hit "post" my tabs will be kept for the following method: EDIT: I took this method out, and placed it in the following post for readability Now, my problem is that my program will crash, giving me an invalid cast exception when I am trying to search (using a for each statement) for any Type other that RobotPart, even though they (Joint, Rod, Body, etc.) are ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLExpress, locked files, and sp_detach

  I have a situation where I want to copy a SQLExpress mdf file, after having read some metadata from it, but I find that an exclusive lock persists on the file for about 5 minutes after closing... the lock is held by "sqlservr.exe" This lock prevents me from copying the file. It seems that I may be able to fix this by calling sp_detach_db after closing the connection (does this seem reasonable ) but I am unsure what the database name (dbname) is that I need to pass to sp_detach_db. To make this a little more concrete, here is the connection string I use... "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\testdata\DVDCollectionDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True'" so in that case what ...Show All

• Visual Studio missing pdb

  Hi, I am attempting to debug an application consisting of a main executable and multiple dlls. In most cases the debugger can locate the pdbs, and I can regenerate them so that I can debug the dll from the dll project by setting up the dll project to start the main app. However: One dll project does not appear to be generating a pdb at all , even though it is configured to do so. Consequently, I am unable to set breakpoints within that project. I have limited knowledge of the code. I'm looking for suggestions as to why a pdb file would fail to be generated at build time . One difference between the dlls I can debug and this one is that the output directory does not have the default name "bin". It is named 'bin2'. ...Show All
