• SQL Server Identifying a table update / insert / delete

  How to find out that a table has changed. For example if a table has 50K rows, and if any update, insert, or delete was made it should be captured without using any trigger. Is it possible to get such information from any of the system table or DMVs Thanks Uma & Aego. I got sufficient details now to find the solutions with your inputs. A final question before i close this thread: Does it mean replication agent too reads the transaction log to find out the updated rows If so is there any API provided by the SQL Server that can be used through programming to do the same work ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LInq and Finite State Machines

  I've only just started to look at Linq and it occurs to me to wonder if the underlying technology would support processing and evaluation of Finite State Machines. I'm interested in a system which can take a complex set of regular expressions and evaluate them over a very large number of data sets efficiently. The underlying technology of Linq seems to have strong relationships to the underlying technology of many FSM implementations (lambda calculus, epsilon resolution ...), but I understand insufficient about either to see if it is worth pursuing. Does anyone have any thoughts on this Iain ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Release build error

  Hi All- I am having an error when I build a WinForms Solution in VS 2005 IDE. This solution has roughly about 10 projects and am getting the following error when I build the project in release mode. "Unable to copy file "C:\SolutionName\ProjectName\bin\release\project.dll" to bin\release\project.dll. Access to the path 'bin\release\project.dll' is denied. I am getting this error on all the project files. Please let me know what am missing here. Thanks, Jaxdeveloper It seems an Access issue. Have you tried giving access to the folders. There might be changes that the DLL it is trying to copy is used by some other process by VS only. You might like to check this too. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setup project: install Windows Service with new user fails with "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

  Hi Forgive me if this is the wrong area but I could nto find a dedicated section for Setup projects. I have a setup project that creates a new local user as part of the install. The installer then installs a service and sets the service to run as this new account. The code to make the new account is in <myserviceinstaller>_BeforeInstall. It DOES create the account successfully, as I can see it in computer management right away. The installation always claims it fails with "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done", despite the new user account being created fine. It's as if the new user accunt was created too late, AFTER I tried to install the service, despite the code to add a user bein ...Show All

• Visual Studio Show particular record(s) only based on the user selection

  Hi, all My case is like this: I have a Form with a DataGridView that is populated by query on a table. Besides the fields from the query, i also add a checkbox to the first column of each record. This checkbox is used for user to select which records that the user want it to be displayed on the Report. A button of course is available to call a ReportForm as dialog(ReportForm.showdialog()). If the page is not enough for the records, the extra records will be shown on the next page(s). To minimize the scope, let's just show 2 record for example(product id, product name).

• Visual Studio Guidance Package Visual Studio 2005 Project Template not installed on Win XP Service Pack 2

  Hi After installing the GAX and GAT, I don't see any of Guidance Packages in my New Project dialog box. I've tried the installation process as stated in software factory documentation of Enterprise Library Dec 2006 CTP. Can anyone help me Thanks Ethan Hunt Hi Ethan, Sorry it took me a couple of days to get back to you. I'm afraid I've virtually ran out of ideas... :-( I've checked with other teams that are developing guidance packages and have installed .Net 3.0 and they're not having any issues. It's very weird that your installation finishes ok without any errors at all but there is not a single trace of GAX being installed on your machine... no files... no reg entries...
