• SQL Server Secure Replication from Cluster to Workgroup

  I am trying to set up replication (transactional with updates) from a 2-node Active/Passive SQL Server 2005 Cluster to a SQL Server 2005 server in a Workgroup. When configuring the Snapshot Agent, Log Reader Agent and Queue Reader Agent from the Publisher (Cluster) we are advised not to use the SQL Server Agent Service Account for security reasons. When I specify a Domain Account I get an "unknown security error" staring the snapshot agent. When I select the option to run under the service account all works well. Strange thing is when I specify the service account I still get the "unknown security error" message. Anyone got any ideas Hi, Looks like it is pretty hard to find the root ...Show All

• Visual Studio Why can not chm files be integrated automatically in Visual Studio 2005 ?

  If I have understood the help system correctly, it is not possible to use chm files directly without first converting them to some format that Visual Studio 2005 can understand, and to be able to do that, I would need a third party tool. Why does not Microsoft yourself let developers add chm files directly to Visual Studio 2005, and let your product automatically take care of the conversion If the chm format is considered as "deprecated", and should be replaced with some other format that Visual Studio 2005 can understand, then why does not Microsoft yourself distribute this other VS2005-compatible format with your products For example, when you install " Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SDK ", the installation direct ...Show All

• Visual C++ Newbie getting C2352 error

  I get this error, error C2352: 'System::IO::DirectoryInfo::GetFileSystemInfos' : illegal call of non-static member function, when I try to compile this line: array <FileSystemInfo^> ^fi = DirectoryInfo::GetFileSystemInfos( "*.txt" ); GetFileSystemInfo returns a handle to an array of filesysteminfo objects. I think I'm defining fi as a handle to an array of these objects. Any help is appreciated! Johnny Thanks all! I did look up the error, but frankly haven't reached the point where that explanation is useful. I tend to think of static in terms of variables that are initiatialized only upon first entry into a function. The context here seems to be different. The working code snippet is ...Show All
