• Visual Basic IDE Broken -> Doesn't display error

  At some point something I installed (I suspect Resharper) broke the IDE. When I am running my code in the debugger if an error occurs the code stops, highlights the problem line but no text pops up to tell me what the error is. Without having to do a full reinstall does anyone know what may have been disabled or changed to cause this Thanks, Shane The problem is gone. I think this problem may actually be related to the fact I switched from project references to file references in a solution. I'm reinstalling ReSharper and I'll see if the problem comes back. ...Show All

• SQL Server Selecting version of remote SQL instance into local variable?

  Hello all, I'm a bit new to SQL Server and T-SQL (my background is in DB2 ), so hoping you can help me with this. I'm writing a T-SQL script that's hopefully going to scan a bunch of SQL server instances and record the results. We've got a mix of SQL2K and SQL2K5 instances, and for part of my script I only want to run something if the remote instance is SQL2K. I'd tested this on my local PC with several instances created and it worked fine. When I try and run it for instances located on other servers it barfs . From what I've found from looking up the error message it looks like I've got myself a loopback -- but I don't know how to get around it - any ideas please DECLARE @tempdata TABLE (scratch sql_variant) DECLARE @debug tinyi ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums MS Office document and image writer print driver

  Besides removing this feature from Office during setup, is there a process to remove this virtual printer from 300 users with roaming profiles on an active directory network We are having an issue with this printer assuming the "default printer" selection for our users. As a work around we have changed their default printer, but after they reboot or log off / on it has defaulted back to the MS Ofc doc and image writer printer. I am having a similar problem...

• SQL Server Distributor cannot connect to subscriber

  I am setting up my 2005 Replication system... publisher = 2005 sp1 Subscriber = 2005 sp1 I created a publication for a single table. Then I created the subscription to another 2005 server. Had to add it as a subscriber in the wizard. Told it to do the snapshot right away. Everything seems fine right up to the point where it tries to connect to the subscriber... I get a cannot connect error. I have tried all kinds of security context and accounts for the sql agent to run under but nothing seems to work. I cannot even get a linked server to work. I have the subscriber setup to accept remote connections. I am not sure where to look at next... I never had this issue in 2000. Ok... I did as sug ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing the Colour of an Individual DataGridView Cell (.NET 1.1 vs 2) - Please Help

  Hi, everyone. I've been working on this frustrating problem for the entire evening and I thought I'd come to the forum for some insight and direction. I'm writing an application in Visual Basic 2005 which uses a DataGridView control which is bound to a datatable. I'd like to dynamically highlight an individual cell in red. I've written a similar program in the past with Visual Basic 2003 and I'd like to reuse as much of the code as possible. However, I'm running into a major barrier when trying to individually colourize cells. In 2003, I used something like the following snippet... DataGridTest.Rows(1).Cells(1).Style.Backcolor = Color.Red This works like a charm in 2003 but doesn't seem to work at all in 2005. After doing some rea ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is it possible to prevent other apps from grabbing focus?

  I have a form that needs to maintain keyboard input focus, in order to direct data coming in via barcode scanner (basically keyboard input) via Sendkeys or sendmessage to another process. If my app loses focus, I want to be able to get it back so that keyboard input only goes to my app. I have tried about 5 Win32 APIs to reactivate/refocus etc my form when the Deactivate event fires, but the focus doesn't return. I need something relatively like "system modal", although a minor delay in getting focus back is not the end of the world. How can this be done Is there a simple method, or do I need something like a global system hook Many thanks for any pointers! Pete You have to keep your ma ...Show All
