• SQL Server Initializing Transactional Replication without a Snapshot in SQL 2000

  SQL Server 2005 Books Online provides an article entitled, "Initializing a Transactional Subscription without a Snapshot". Is it possible in SQL Server 2000 to initialize transactional replication without a snapshot So far, I have been unable to find a similar procedure mentioned in the SQL 2000 Books Online . I was able to follow the 2005 procedure using SQL 2000 until I got to the step that says to enable the "Allow initialization from backup files" option on the "Subscription Options" tab of the "Publication Properties" dialog. But that option does not appear in the SQL 2000 version of the specified dialog box. Any ideas You can try turning on automatic identity range management ...Show All

• SQL Server OSQL Batch File Problem

  I have a scheduled task that runs a batch file in windows 2003 server which is running SQL Server 2000 Enterprise. The batch file contains the line: OSQL -i myscript.sql -Umyuser -Pmypassword -Slocalhost -o mytrans.log the 'myscript.sql' file updates a table with another table of the exact number of rows. When the scheduled task runs, the 'mytrans.log' file shows 0 rows were affected. If I run this myself from the command line, 22,000 rows are affected which is correct. I am guessing there is some sort of permission/authentication issue here. I am sending the right username/password for SQL and for windows to run the task. Any idea what I could do to fix this Thanks, Nitrox ...Show All

• Visual Basic nextinstance

  hi, i wrote a single instance application - a pic viewer. if i double click on an picture file it opens up my app with that file. now if my program is runnin and i open up one more pic i'd like my program change the shown pic to the new - i know i have to write this in the application events, the StartupNextInstance event but don't know how to get the path of the second pic. any idea thnx You are on the wrong track - starting up your application passes command line parameters. The Network Deployment properties of the applicaton object is a completely different beast and is designed to allow the application to check for updates from the network deployment location (it's powerful enough to do other things too).

• SQL Server Execute SQL Task: Error

  I am running a Execute SQL Task which runs a script on a table. It gives me following error: [Execute SQL Task] Error: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow". Thanks, Your query in the execute sql task is returning more than one row. Pretty much just what the error states. If you don't need to return the results of the query to a variable, select "none" instead of "single row" in the ResultSet box. If you do in fact need to return more than one row into a variable, you'll need to select "Full Result Set." The variable you populate with single row needs to match (or be able to cast) the data type of the returned value. If you are u ...Show All

• .NET Development Thread Ending Problem

  aHi folks, I'm having a problem with a Thread where it doesn't seem to be ending when I ask it too. The application continues on after the main thread ends (you can see this in Task Manager). This doesn't seem to be happening just when I exit the program, but also when I specifically signal the thread to stop. Here's how I start the thread: thread = new Thread( new ThreadStart( this , &Form1::ThreadMethod)); thread->Start(); This is how I'm stopping the thread: thread->Abort(); Is there something I'm doing wrong here In this case, it's perfectly fine to blast the thread even if it's in the middle of a lengthy operation, so brute-force clobbers will work here. Any ideas Us ...Show All

• .NET Development Generating random numbers and Retreaving them in other forms in C#

  I admit it, this probably has been answered half a google times before in other threads, but I have not been able to find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to make a rpg (hence the need for a number generator). But, I need to be able to have the spread of the nembers to be between 1 and 20, for example. Then, I need to call these numbers latter on. Obviously I'm learning the language and trying to modernize myself (I've only worked with QBASIC beore!) Can anyone help Oh yeah, I should mention that a psudorandom number would suffice. There is a really good discussion of the second case in the VB express forum.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums ScreenUpdating

  hi all, I am nearly done writing an application (in vb.net) that uses interop for Microsoft Powerpoint, and the problem is that when I write to the slide, I don't want the user to see those updates. I know in vba, one would write 'Application.ScreenUpdating = false', however screenupdating is not found under the application. I have searched fruitlessly through other articles for a simple solution, but they seem to be geared towards excel. Can anyone help me Thanks in advance   Myron thanks for your reply. The problem with that is you can't change the visiblity of the powerpoint without getting an error since it's working with "active" windows. ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to override DomainUpDown.UpButton()

  I just wanna edit codes for clock programe. I used the domainupdown control.When I click the upbutton,hours +1. when I click the downbutton,hours -1. I think I should override the method upbutton(). But I dont know how to do that Give me some suggestions.Thanks An easy way to do this is to make a class that extends the domainupdown object then simply create two functions using the following syntax public override <Return Value> <function name> <Parameter List> then in the body of the function enter the code you wish to use, if you want it to still have the same functionality as before you need to call: Base.<function name><parameters>; I'm not sure if it's Base or base, but a quick search for C# ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bug? Using multiple techniques in a single fx file??

  As far as I can tell the Effect class allow you to do things like: effect.Techniques["MyTechnique"]; And it seems to work (because the technique returned does indeed have a name that matchs the request). However in multiple technique situations the name matches, but the shading seems wrong... I always seem to get the shaders used in the first technique in the file regardless. I've not verified this reproduces it, but basically what I'm saying is in the following situation Techniques["White"].Passes[0] will render black. Anyone else seen something similar Or am I being stupid somewhere float4 BlackPS() : COLOR0 { return 0; } float4 WhitePS() : COLOR0 { return 1; } technique Black ...Show All

• Visual Basic Use the Application Object

  I am creating a new VS2005 VB.NET Windows Application. The application is intended to exchange inforamtion between two Microsoft Project (*.mpp) files. I am having just a little trouble getting started. I need to add a reference to the Project objects, I can do that by adding a reference easily enough. What I am looking for is just an example of how to create an instance of a Microsoft Project Object (.mpp), assign that object to an existing mpp file and then access the member functions, etc. to edit the tasks in Project1.mpp. For example, suppose my GUI has a textbox1.text=c:\a\Project1.mpp and I have another textbox2.text="LATE" ... so, when I press my "Process button" I want to have my application set the T ...Show All
