• Internet Explorer Development Favicon in IE7

  Hi My site uses a FAVICON, which works well in IE7. However, I've noticed that if you create a shortcut to a webpage on your XP desktop, the FAVICON is used as the desktop icon. My favicon.ico file has 2 res images of the file, 16x16 and 32x32. However, the desktop icon picks up the 16x16 version and uses that. Is there a way to make it use the 32x32 version. Or can I get windows to use a default icon. Thanks I used a binary method for transfer of a favicon.ico made at 16 x 16 px. I cannot get it to show up on my web site either. I have many of them showing up from other sites though. It works fine in Netscape and Mozilla FF. Could it be that even though the file extension is .ico it may be .b ...Show All

• SQL Server "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" is not an option

  Good morning all... I would like use the "Database Mirroring Monitor" to track what's going on. All three of my servers have SQL Server 2005 x64 edition installed with SP1. Server A is mirroring to Server C Server B is mirroring to Server C Following the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365786(d=ide).aspx : On Server A and C, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" appears. On Server B, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" does NOT appear. Is there something I have to do to get this tool installed on the machine, or it is an automatic thing Thanks! Forch I suspect that by now you've figured this out but, in case it helps othe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Counting pixels in a region

  Yet another question.... I have a region that's made up of several shapes; some connected, some not. Is there an easy way to determine how many pixels that region is occupying I was hoping I'd find a solution in one of its methods but that doesn't seem to be the case. All of the shape information is stored in the region, you'd think it would be easy to count all the pixels in a given region. I will need to count/recount the number of pixels often so I'm hoping there is an easy/non-expensive (CPU/time wise) method for this. Because the region will contain non-connected shapes, and because the region is a solid color, would it be best to convert it to a 1-byte bitmap, then count that way Looking for any advice ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't connect to SQL Server 2005 Express from another machine

  I know there have been many posts made on this subject; however, despite the resources available, I have not been able to get this to work! I've spent time working on this here and there over the last couple of months only resulting in frustration. I am finally posting to solicit help for my situation to figure out what is wrong with my SQL Server or firewall configuration. Two machines connected to a router, one wireless, one wired. Both have SQL Server Express and the Management Studio tools installed. From either machine I can connect to its local SQL Server Express instance. I have enabled Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. (BTW what is VIA ) I have added sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbro ...Show All

• SQL Server Need help with a query 2

  My last post was perhaps unclear. So we will start all over again. I have a table with four columns. Guid Saleid icecreamType icecreamflavour It contains several rows of icecreams 1 A GB Glace null 2 A GB Glace chocolate 3 A GB Glace null 4 A GB Glace vanilla 5 B Ben & Jerrys null If the icecreamflavour-field is null this means the sale is for all flavours. If I SELECT * FROM Icecreams WHERE icecreamType ='GB Glace' I will get four rows. I would like it to return only two: 2 A GB Glace chocolate 4 A GB Glace vanilla But in the case (id= 5) where there is no data in the icecreamflavour field I want it to return that row anyway.

• Windows Forms Loading data into winforms with strongly typed datasets

  I've been experimenting with strongly typed datasets and relational databases with winforms. I am wondering if there is a better established approach then the approach that I am taking to store and update data. The method that i'm currently employing goes like this: I have an mdi parent form which has mdi children. Each mdi child (for example) represents a file. That file will have a unique ID, so the file can be loaded in two ways - creating a new file or loading an existing file. The file will have misc properties made up of textboxes, comboboxes etc. So the file objects have the following properties and methods: class File : Form int FileID ; File() - basic constructor AssignID () - uses stored proc to create a row in da ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Error using custom username/password authenticator

  Hi, I am encountering some strange behaviour implementing a custom username/password authenticator. My custom authenticator wraps the default WindowsUserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator, but resolves the username the user provides into a domain account using some custom logic. So my custom authenticator looks something like: class MyUserNameTokenAuthenticator : WindowsUserNameSecurityTokenAuthenticator { protected string ResolveUserName(string userName) { // My custom logic here ... } protected override ReadOnlyCollection<IAuthorizationPolicy> ValidateUserNamePasswordCore(string userName, string password) { string resolvedUserName = ResolveUserName(userName); return base.ValidateUserNamePasswordCo ...Show All

• SQL Server Activation proc failed

  Good day, I have send a msg successful,but the proc failed. I altered the proc to correct the problem in the proc. The msg are still in the queue. Is there a manual way to excute the proc again to process the msg in the q or do I wait for service broker to do it after a retry time (self recover) thank you in advance. If the proc fails (i.e. throws an exception), Service Broker will try to restart the proc every 5 seconds. However, if your proc actually did a RECEIVE which was rolled back, then the rollback handler will detect this as a poisoned message and disable the queue. You can check this by doing: select is_receive_enabled from sys.service_queues where name = 'YourQueue ...Show All
