• Visual Studio Team System Old Database Project vs New Database Project

  Hi, A customer has a solution with a “old” database project type that opens fine with VS 2005 Pro. After they installed the CTP 7 Bits of DB Pro and now get an error when opening that same solution. Can they use the Old Project Type along side(In the same solution) with the new DB Pro Database Project type Does that make sense Thank you. Randy The project files created in the DB Professional Edition (SQL Server 2005 DB Project for example) are not compatible with any other edition of Team Systems; so adding them to your solution essentially breaks the solution when loaded by a different role. This seems counterintuitive as even though the Tester Edition and Architect edition can create ite ...Show All

• Visual C# Apply Button On Modal ShowDialog Form

  Hi all, Let say I have two forms. One is the Main form. Another is the Options form. My Options form is called by the Main using ShowDialog() command. I have an apply button on the Options form that allow user preview / apply the Options that they had set without closing the Options form. The is another OK button on the Options form. The OK button will Hide() the Options form. Then, it will execute the "ANOTHER CODE REGION". That is what I wish to do without hiding the Options form. Is it possible with the ShowDialog() function frmOptions frm = new frmOptions(); frm.ShowDialog(); // ANOTHER CODE REGION that draw something on the main form. Thanks in advance. Thanks.

• Windows Forms Navigating forms in a SDI application

  Hi, I am writing an SDI app in (VB Express 2005) and want to navigate backwards and forward between forms. I can do this quite easily by overiding the constructors in forms using the "callingform" technique found in other posts. My problem is that 1 form needs to be opened from multiple forms. e.g. "Form1" or "Form2" can call "Form3". How do I sort out overiding the constructor for a case like this ...Show All

• SQL Server difference between dates

  Hi, I have two problems. 1)I'm using datediff function to count difference in minutes between two dates - and it's working fine. But I would like to ask if there is any function (or maybe U could tell me how to do it) that is able to count difference between two dates in minutes, including only days from Monday to Friday and hours from 9:00 am to 5:15 pm. 2)My second question reference to the first one. Let's suppose that I've managed to count correctly difference between two dates. But for example: 120332 minutes is not telling me a lot. So I would like to show this measure in this format DD:HH:MM (DaysDays:HoursHours:MinutesMinutes) - aggregation function for this measure is SUM. I was trying to use MDX language to change 120332 i ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot connect to SQL Server 2005 Express with Management Studio Express

Always get this error: Cannot connect ot MPLIAM\SQLEXPRESS Additional Information: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

• Smart Device Development Technique to view large jpgs

  What's the best way to view a high resolution jpg photo I tried the picturebox control in a form approach, and it won't work for high resolution photos because when the Bitmap class converts the jpg to a bmp, it's too huge for the device. I would like to scale it to the screen size (I scaled it before and so I know it will work), but I have a "chicken or the egg" problem. I have to convert it to a Bitmap first before I can scale it. Bitmap hiResBmp = new Bitmap("hi_res_photo.jpg"); //dies here Bitmap smallBmp = MyScaleImageMethod(hiResBmp) pictureBox.Image = (Image)smallBmp; Or is the only solution to pre-process the jpgs (make them smaller) before loading them on the device Thanks ...Show All

MyXaml has source code so you can modify it if needed. For XAM ...Show All

• SQL Server Could not Authenticate with SQL Server

  Here's my situation and I've spent enough time to troubleshoot. Any help would be appreciated. 1) I have a VB.NET Windows Form Application that uses SQL Server Express 2005 database. 2) The "mdf" file is a part of the application itself. 3) When the application distributed to my clients using Windows XP SP2, the "Click Once" installer automatically installs SQL Server 2005 Express [which is a pre-requisite] and copies this mdf file into the application folder. 4) The authentication mode is "Windows Integrated" The problem is, when the application is launched [while logged in as the local system administrator in a given computer], it is unable to connect to the SQL Server.

• .NET Development Workaround

  I try to install my application (developed with VS2005 and referencing the NET Framework 2.0 that came with VS2005 on my 32bit machine.) on a Windows Server x64 on a Xeon system. The Install program (ClickOnce) fails reporting an error while checking for the net framework 2.0: "This Version of NET Framework 2.0 is not supported on a 64-bit operating system." This is strange because on all 32bit systems I installed the application on, the installer downloaded the NET 2.0 frameowork from Microsoft, and worked well. The application runs fine on 32bit systems. I manually downloaded and installed the 64bit NET Framework 2.0 on the Windows Server x64. But: I get the same results (installation fails with above error). I cannot find any ...Show All
