• SQL Server Saved SQL Queries

  Can someone help me. In SQL Server 2005, when I save a query, and re-open it later, it always opens in the .master database. We do not use this database regularly, and I have to switch the database to the one that we use 95% of the time. Is there anyway to change the default database that opens, when I open these saved files for a given connection Thanks in advance for your help, Wayne You will have to include a USE statement within your database script to make the change. EVen the user defaultdb will not affect the connect to the master database. HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating Aero\Vista style dialogs and wizards in WPF

  The vista UX style guide is very specific on how dialogs, task dialogs, wizards and option dialogs should be formatted. I was very surpised that there weren't any (readilly) available templates or examples of how to do this in WPF. Seems like a lot (if not all) of us are going to have to separately re-invent the wheel in order to deploy real world WPF apps that pass Designed for Vista certification. I looked at the interactive designer, certainly it has the potential to save millions of hours tweaking XAML code (if i can get it to work in my app), but no templates for Wizards and Dialogs. I looked in VS under Add Items and Add-Ins for a prebuilt Wizard or Dialog template nothing there either. It looks like the only pre-built method is in V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Readonly field and emphasizing font color

  I have a customized work item and I am displaying the created by and date created fields. Both of the read only and that is great. Created by is displayed with black font and gray background, while the created date is dark gray on a gray background and difficult to read. Is there a way to make the date field color darker. I tried to find attributes but to no avail. Unfortunately, I don't think you can do anything to programmatically get rid off the time for FieldControl. If you really want to get rid off time then you can use DateTimeControl with the following two attributes. Format="Custom" CustomFormat="mm/dd/yyyy" -Mohammad ...Show All

• Visual Studio Conditional Breakpoints on Managed Object IDs

  During the betas of Whidbey I remember that there was a way to generate an object ID that could then be used in a conditional breakpoint. Dang if I can't find how to generate that object ID now. Was the feature pulled If not, where is it hidden You can generate an object ID by going to Locals or Watch window, selecting the variable and choosing Make Object ID from context menu. The ID (e.g. 1#) can then be specified in breakpoint conditions. Azeem Khan Visual Studio Debugger. ...Show All

• .NET Development Quick way of determining a date from a string?

  Hi all, I have a .NET 1.1 application that needs to be able to very quickly determine if a string is a date. I can not use Exception handling here (i.e. as you would using DateTime.Parse) as it is expensive and there is only a 1% chance that the string will be a date with potentially tens of thousands of strings being checked. Do you guys have any suggestions Regards, Stephen. Unfortunately upgrading isn't an option. Also, we found that getting into regular expressions has been too complicated so we are taking a completely different approach now that doesn't involve checking dates. Thanks for the help though people. It has been much appreciated! Regards, Stephen. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Status message won't update in real time correctly to screen

  Hello, I am trying to retrieve and display the status of a SQL 2005 merge replication process. I have a class that keeps the Syncronization code. The syncronization agent has an event handler that in turn calls a method to grab the status and percent completed of the current merge process: subscription.SynchronizationAgent.Status += new AgentCore.StatusEventHandler(SynchronizationAgent_Status); subscription.SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize(); Here is the method it calls: static void SynchronizationAgent_Status(object sender, StatusEventArgs e) { m_percentComplete = e.PercentCompleted; m_statusMessage = e.Message; } I am saving the status message in a member variable named m_statusMes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How is it possible to specify the SpellChecker used by FxCop?

  We use FxCop for 2 years and are now in trouble because we just discovered that FxCop uses a default spellchecker like the one installed by MS Office. In our case, the FxCop results are totally different depending on the PC where it runs ; here we have 15 developper machines and several build machine and we have no guarantee that everybody use the same version of office! Does exist a way to force FxCop to use a given spellchecker Thanks a lot if you have an idea because at this moment we are about to let down this great tool if we don't work it out. Unfortunately no. Currently FxCop will automatically use the spell checker installed by Microsoft Office - you cannot force it to use an explicit sp ...Show All
