• SQL Server SOS, One .NDF file missing Can not Restore DB

  Dear All, I have a DB with four .NDF Files. The First .NDF File is corrupt. Unfortunately my Backup also Failed. So I Have no Backup. Other .NDF and .LDF and the MDF Files are intact except one .NDF file. Can anyone help How can restore/Recover my DB. I can not mount the DB. ITs OK if i loose some data and am able to use other intact .ndf files. Your help is Greatly appreciated. Thanks Thanks Kevin. I did not notice the new 'offline' attribute. alter database testdb modify file (name='testdb_n1', offline); indeed works great. A small suggestion, you'd probably want to bubble up the info/warning message that the offline filegroup is not available when you bring the database back online.

• Visual C++ Simulating Left Mouse Button Click

  Hi, At the moment, I am running into a problem which is this: Every time I right-click on a TreeView item in my application, the selected item remains the item prior to right-clicking rather than changing to the right-clicked item. While this isn't exactly a BUG, it is quite an inconvenience. The most obvious solution to the problem, to me, is to simulate a left-button click in the right-click NM_RCLICK event that will in turn select the item prior to any further actions. Is there a better way to accomplish this If not, how can the left-click simulation be accomplished Thanks in advanced. ---Dan To simulate mouse clicks, you can use mouse_event and SendInput. However, I think it will be better to use ...Show All

• Visual C# c# method, event wizard

  Hi, am starting to work my way through a tutorial book, trying to learn C#. It tells me to run the C# Method Wizard, by right-clicking an existing Class in Class View and selecting Add > Add Method. There is no Add option in Visual Studio 2005 (which I am using). I have looked around for about an hour trying to locate the Method Wizard, but the help does not tell me anything more than it is there. Has this been rtemoved from Studio 2005 If not, how do I access it Not being able to find it is making following the tutorial very difficult. Thanks in advance ityu Anson, Well then you could have also had all references removed from the documentation!!! I just spent an hour trying to get that wizard to p ...Show All

• Smart Device Development login screen acting as a spash screen

  I am having some issues with my login form. Its acting like a spash screen where it stays on only for a few seconds until my program loads and then closes. I have made sure that I created the login form with the template and checked my code, but it shouldnt be that difficult! Help! nope..its definately gone! I thought about that too but I closed out all the other windows and its not there. i am just so confused as to why its taking on all the characteristics of a splash screen. I had created a splash screen as the login screen, but realized there was a template for the login screen so I made sure to delete the splash screen and create a completely new login screen. But its like the new login templa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Move to cell in previous row?

  I need to write a code to move to a cell in the previous row. I have looked at (offset) , (currentcell) & (currentcelladdress) but i can't quite get the hang of it. This is what i have so far in a button click event:      Me.MaintableDataGridView.CurrentCell.Selected = False      Me.MaintableDataGridView.Rows(0).Cells(0).Selected = True This works great but i just want to move 1 cell up, not by coordinates. Is there some way to utilize code to mimic the arrow keys (sendkeys, etc...) Any help would be great.  Thanks Jeff Ok that means that rowindex is = 0 or less than zero. Put a break point in the selection changed event.... select a cell ...Show All

• Windows Forms filling a datagrid

  Hi, i need sombebody to explain me how can i fill a datagrid with information comming from different tables in a unique DB, or a link to anywhere explaining with an example.. Thanks! I'm using VB .NET and a DB created with Access. Hi, My fault I guess. I forgot to mention that you must set the datamember property to the name of your table if your binding using a dataset. But you can bind the datatable instead of a dataset so that you would not need to set the datamember property. cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Handling events when hosting workflow in ASP.Net or a remote object

  I am looking to host workflow within ASP.Net and perhaps a remote object. In both cases it appears best practice to create the WorkflowRuntime once and reuse it for each call. However, having read Dino Espoito's article and looking at Matt Winkler's example I have some questions: In both cases their code registers with the WorkflowCompleted event on the WorkflowRuntime, but the handlers do not check that the workflow that has completed is the same one they started. Am I missing something here If the ASP.Net site was concurrently starting several workflows, how do you know which one you are handling the WorkflowCompleted event for Is it that because they use ManualWorkflowSchedulerService they only get an event raised that is relevant ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Returning appropriate fault information in a custom UserNamePasswordValidator

    I'm looking at the WCF samples for creating a custom UserNamePasswordValidator (WCFSamples\TechnologySamples\Extensibility\Security\UserNamePasswordValidator\CS\service). The sample's CustomUserNamePasswordValidator implementation demonstrates that if a username/password combination is not valid, to throw a SecurityTokenException. However, since the exception occurs during the authentication stage of the pipeline, prior to the message being authenticated, the exception thrown by the client is not a SecurityTokenException, but is always a MessageSecurityException that indicates that: {"An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and de ...Show All
