Software Development for Windows Vista Error 0x8004D00E on SQL Server 2000 + Windows 2000 SP4
We have an ASP.NET application running on Windows Server 2003 whose database backend lives in a different machine which runs SQL Server 2000 and Windows 2000 Server SP4. Whenever we try to use System.Transactions we get errors. We are almost sure that the problem is related to MSDTC refusing network connections. We tried to run the same thing using Windows Server 2003 in the backend server, and we were able to make it work by configuring MSDTC security using the COM+ console. However, we still need to support Windows 2000 for the backend. There is apparently no GUI for MSDTC security on Windows 2000, and the registry settings we have tried so far did not work. We think this should be a very common issue, but we have ...Show All

SQL Server How can I get Actual Operation Cost from Actual Execution Plan?
I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost. Thanks! Henry ...Show All

Windows Forms UserControl accept only certain controls
Hi, I've created an usercontrol and want to prevent certain controls to be dragged onto it at design time. How would I achieve this Thank you in advance There is an OnControlAdded method in the Control class. Override that method (be sure to call base.OnControlAdded() ) and check that the type of control being added is of one of the types you allow. Throw an exception otherwise. The designer will catch the exception and display the message you put in it. ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug or Feature : Behavior of OneWay bindings (July CTP)
Hi, I'm using the July CTP and have run into a situation where Binding doesn't behave as I expected it to. I've isolated this behavior below and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's by design. If it is by design, I think the documentation should highlight this 'feature': I've created a Source object and a Target object: public class Source : INotifyPropertyChanged { double _floatingPointValue = 0.0; public double FloatingPointValue { get { return _floatingPointValue; } set { if (value != _floatingPointValue) { _floatingPointValue = value; _OnPropertyChanged("FloatingPointValue"); } } } public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; private void _OnPropertyChanged(string proper ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) January Orcas CTP
Hi! I have download and installed January Orcas CTP on virtuell server and now I can start Visual Studio Orcas 9.0, but can not find any Linq project to start playing. I am a first timer about Linq. I checked and there is a version 3.5 Net framefork installed under Windows. Regards Good. So it is not just me. I found the required assemblies in the 3.5 framework. I wonder why the LINQ support is so buried in this release. Isn't this like *the* major new feature for Orcas/.NET 3.5 Go figure. ...Show All
Visual C# looking to program web cam applications
Greetings. I am new to programming so bear with me. I thought writing a frame grabber program for a web cam would be an interesting first project. I decided to use C# because it uses the .Net framework and is portable. I know it can be done using directshow, but I heard directshow may not be supported anymore. Besides, the one book everyone agrees is a valuable learning tool is unavailable. I was wondering if C# and the .net platform would allow me to manipulate the web cam, are there any books available specifically for my project, what opinions users of those books have, and what other references would be recommended. Thanks in advance. ...Show All
.NET Development Generating additional [field | property] at runtime
I have a need to track objects at runtime that don't have a uniqueness to them. I guess to describe my ideal situation would be to somehow mark objects in memory with some additional unique identifier that I could then use to track these objects. My overall goal is to build an object that can watch and manage other objects, and should those objects change their public properties, my object will still know them. I've poked around Reflection.Emit and I'm not sure if that's going to do what I need. I also wonder if I can attach something to an object at runtime, if when calling the object normally or with boxing/unboxing if I will lose the additional data.

SQL Server Inserting row with single quote
I'm inserting a row of people's names and addresses to a table. This seems to work great, unless the person has ' in their name, for example O' Riordan. When the address has single quote (such as Wilder's Path), I'd get the same error, unclosed quote when inserting the row. What would be the best way to work around this, other than read the line and replace it with a space.

SQL Server SQL Server Caching
In a test app, I've noticed (by logging the times to execute) that it appears SQL Server 2005 is caching the results of queries (no client-side caching is being used). Some questions if I may... Is it possible to know how long/how many queries will be cached Is setting such caching a database setting Can longer-term caching priorities be set by configuration Is it possible send a command to the database (on startup) to preload the cache with certain data Thanks! Andy, What you are observing is most likely SQL Server's caching of data pages used in query execution, not the query results. One way to see this is to first execute DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to clear all data pages out of cache ...Show All
