• SQL Server No such interface supported

  I receive "No such interface supported" in SQL Server 2005, when: 1. on server, from my desktop client: attempting to create a maintenance plan within Management Studio without the wizard (with the wizard, works fine) 2. trying to copy, using SMO, an entire database from the server, to my local machine, from again, my desktop client. Any thoughts it's been a while, several installations ago, several months now, since I've had this issue, sicne applying SP1 I believe ... ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Data Access With app's exe stored on a UNC path?

  Hello, This might be a simple thing, but I'm not able to find out the solution. We have an application that accesses data from a SQL database. This works as long as the exe is located on the local drive of the user, however if the exe is stored on a unc path, we get the following execption thrown: "System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

• Visual Studio Team System Subversion folders/files are being included

  Hi, First, let me say that VSTS for DB Profs is definitely on its way to becoming a much needed product. So, keep up the great work! I do, however, have a quick comment. I am using Subversion as the SCC repository, and after adding the database project to the repo, the .dbproj now insists on including all of Subversions folders (.svn) and their files in the project. I have attempted at manually removing the <DBProjectFolder> and <DBProjectItem> elements from the .dbproj file, but it keeps readding them. Is this a known bug or am I missing something Thanks, Vitaly Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply. The version that I have is: 2.0.50727.72. I just looked at the download page for VSTS4 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing VC# Express after the Pro

  Hi, if one have the VC#2005 Pro installed, can then install the VC#2005 Express without damage the pro version (unfortunately, the express installation don't permit to modify installation directory that is the same of the professional). Thanks. There have been several questions about this already. Yes, you can install and run both VS pro and VS express side-by-side, just like you can have VS 2005, 2003 and 6.0 all on the same machine. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error Message that I can't resolve...

  I am fairly new to writing in VB and in reality it is actually my first true language that I am trying to learn. I am currently writing a small application for where I work that will be used internally by only a couple of people. The purpose of this project is to record and maintain records for troubleshooting calls. This is in essence a CYA (cover your *ss) ploy that also helps us maintain with compliance rules. So essentially what I did was create a small program that would refernce back to a database out on one of our servers. This was supposed to be something that I assumed would be very easy, and at first it did seem to be working properly. Now I have run into a problem that I do not have a solution for. The following is the error I g ...Show All

• Windows Forms problem with animated gif

  I'm trying 2 display an animated gif on a datagridview but when i do it it is only displaying the static image. When i display it on a windows form the animation works but when i put it on the grid it dosen't. Is there something special about a datagridview that dosen't allow for it to display animated images I've gotten around the issue by animating the image myself using ImageAnimator. This is of course a custom solution and not one suitable for more than 1 or 2 images but that's all I needed. That's an interesting idea though, making an animated image column.. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Debug Assertion Failure

  File: c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\vc7\atlmfc\include\cstringt.h Line: 1808 Expression: strFormat.LoadStringA( nFormatID ) Any information as to what this could mean would be great. All I know is that my program compiles, and it works fine on every run except the first. This is probably because the first run requires creating and writing to a text file while the subsequent runs are simply appending the text file. Debug the application through Visual Studio. When it asserts, you should see the offending source code, and be able to step back on the call stack. When you hit a point in the "history" which is part of your source code, make sure that the surround ...Show All

• Visual C++ "MICROSOFT VISUAL FAILURE"

  I have been using VS2005 with C# successfully.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Game Studio versions?

  Hello! I have questions about the XNA Game Studio: the FAQ would seem to suggest that there are three versions of XNA Game Studio planned: the Express version for students/hobbyist, the Pro version for actual game studios, and an Enterprise version (the FAQ refers to a Studio version). Is there any kind of comparison chart which would show what the differences between the versions are Another question I have regarding XNA Game Studio are the compiler requirements: the Express version requires C# Express, which would suggest that other versions of the Game Studio product will also require a seperate compiler to be installed. Is this correct, or will the other versions of the Game Studio come with C# Professional or Visual Studio (in t ...Show All

• SQL Server Drop Stored Procedure causing Dropped Tables

  Hey guys, has anyone ever seen this happen: Try to move stored proc from one DB to another using DTS, errors on create proc. Create proc manually. Three tables referenced by that stored proc have been dropped and re-created with the same table structure. I'm not 100% certain that it happened at exactly the same time, but it seems to be around the same time. Any ideas Anyone seen this happen before I don't know how the DTS task determines dependencies. If it uses say sp_depends SP then you can check by running the SP for your SP to see the dependencies. Note, that this SP only gives immediate dependencies. If this doesn't help find how DTS determines dependencies then ask in the SSIS forum or run your pac ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form-to-form communication --- events or messages?

  Hi, In my app, I want to send a message from a form I'm dragging to whichever other form in the application is "most covered" by the form I'm dragging. Since I'm new to C#, I'm just making sure I'm not sticking to old MFC habits, so... Is sending a message from one form to another still a recommended method of communication, or is it concidered "old hat" now, and I should learn new tricks Thanks, Jim Tomasko Hi, my name is Chris and I am working on an application using Visual C++ which is consist of at least 2 forms.

• SQL Server Package Configurations

  Hi, I have a package configuration for my SSIS packages to allow me to dynamically change the connection string of the connections in my packages. This was done so that when I deploy my packages to my development or test server, the packages would use either the development or test server name in the connection string. I have set the configuration up to use an environment variable to store the location of the config file (an xml config file). The package however does not seem to be using the environment variable though. If I change the location of the config file in the variable's value, it still points to the old location. Can someone please help. Thanks Not sure is that is the reason of yo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Font ctor throws exception, how?

  I had a customer report an exception which seemed to be thrown by the Font ctor when the font was missing (my code tried to create a "Verdana" Font object and he had deleted his Verdana font). However, I can't repro the exception on my PC. When I try to create a Font with a nonexistent facename (I tried "notVerdana"), I get no exception, just a working default font. Does anyone know a test configuration (Windows version, .NET version, bad font installation ) which will make the Font ctor throw an exception Thanks nobugz. He did delete multiple fonts, and that probably is a factor in why he got an exception whereas just specifying a bogus facename doesn't throw. Although, I wo ...Show All
