• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I check if a URL is valid?

  How do I check if a URL is valid ok. Calm down. Flaming/war is not welcomed here. This is meant to be a clean calm community and to make sure members have a good experience, not a bad one. To check if a url exists, there isn't a way unless you do a WebResponse/WebRequest and see what the page reads when the response has been returned. As suggested, the Error 404 page not found will be displayed/returned if the page does not exist - this is the normal response you will get back when the page does not exist. If you mean URL validation, in other words to check to see if the url they entered is in the correct format, it is possible using Regex for example. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to setup include/library for nmake (outside VC IDE)

  I'm porting a program written for Linux to Windows and am using nmake to build the project by 'translating' the GNU makefile to VC++ makefile. My developing tool is VC++ 2005 and Windows 2003 SDK SP1. There are several questions I'd like to ask here. 1.

• SQL Server How do I change the default Stored Procedure Template in SQL 2005

  How do I change the default stored proc template used by SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I know how to generate additional templates, but I want to change the default template so that when clicking "New" to create a new stored proc, the modified template I have is used. I've been unable to get this to work as it always creates the template using the default that comes with SQL. I've search BOL and didn't find anything, as well as several online discussion groups I frequent. Any help is appreciated. RScero - this is a very interesting question indeed!

• .NET Development Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion'

  Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional and SQL Server Standard. I ran the 'aspnet_regsql' tool to enable the application services for my ASP.NET project. When using the WebPartManager control on my ASPX page, I encountered an error that tells that 'dbo.aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion' cannot be found. I guess this is pointing to the 'aspnetdb' database on my SQL Server. When I tried to navigate using Management Studio, I located the stored procedure, and verified it exists. I also overwrite the <connectionStrings> localSqlServer on my web.config file from named instance of SqlExpress to my local SQL Server 2005. Please help me to remedy this problem. Thanks.

• Software Development for Windows Vista STS Sample - using a managed card

  Hi, I have tried the STS example with FabrikamSelfIssued managed card, works fine. I can get all requested claims in the sample web site, but one thing is actually misleading me. I see all the claims empty in the CardSpace Selector (even if I explicitly click Retrieve), but when I send the card, the web site is able to request all claims. Is it a bug (selector's or STS') or was it designed this way I think, that the user *MUST* be able to see and verify all the data before it is sent to the web service. Thanks! Hi William. Do you have the code handy that you used to accomplish this I am trying to do the same thing in a POC i am working on. Thanks ...Show All
