• .NET Development Connecting to Access DB

  I started a new WEB Site and added a connection to an Access DB. Now when I edit this WEB site or open a new one I cannot connect to an Access DB. When I try to establish the connection it asks me for the ConnectString. Any suggestions Thanks. Moish I am in Design mode and I right click in the Database Explorer window and choose Add Connection. As I mentioned above the first time I did this it asked me for a path to the database and then connected me. Now it asks me for the ConnectString. There is also a button to "Test Connection". When I press on that button it tells me "test connection succeeded". Also, when I preview the page it shows the database contents (the table that ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I'd like to develop a path-finding engine for RTS game

  With the increase of the number of C# user, and the publication of the XNA new edition. More and more developer agree with using C# to develop game. And I think the problem to use C# to develop is not the efficiency but the accumulation of language such as various libraries. As far as I know, many 3D graph engines have developed by researchers, and some one have being developing the physical engine. But I can't see any engine for AI, such as path-finding engine(if you see any, please tell me, thanks!) especially for C#. And I'd like to develop a path-finding engine for RTS game, of course, for other grid-base game because of my research of a very effect path-finding algorithm which can cost only 1/100 time of AStar and breadth searc ...Show All

• SQL Server Identity field property lost after import tables between databases

  I have found an issue on sql server 2005 data importing function: For example, I have two databases named DB_A and DB_B. If it has a table named table_a on DB_A with an identity field (say field_a), then after transfer table_a to DB_B by using the 'Import and Export Wizard' of MS SQL Server Management Studio, the identity field of table_a on DB_B is no longer an identity field. i.e. DB_B.table_a.field_a is not an identity field any more.

• SQL Server Bulk insert and splitting content into collumns

  Hi, when i try to load XML file into a table with bulk insert, i get bunch of errors: Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 1 (cislo_subjektu).

• SQL Server SQL Server Setup failed to retrieve the SSL Certificate Name

I was using a certificate from SelfSSL but removed it. Still no luck This appears to be an issue with SQL Reporting Services. If I don't install Reporting Services then I can install SQL 2005.
