• Internet Explorer Development write a custom link-bar for ie7

  I would like to write a link bar (the toolbar that holds favorites) with the same functionality as the link bar of IE7, except than I can have just icons for the links (no text). I would prefer write the plugin using managed code. Since I am totally new to IE development can you point me into the right direction where to start Or maybe I could even make the link bar of IE7 to work in that way ...Show All

• SQL Server Confusion on Cube Design

  Hello everyone. I'm having a bit of trouble getting my head around designing a new cube and I'm hoping this forum can help. I have a database which contains the following simplified structure: tbl_Panelist: panelist_id tbl_Question: question_id tbl_Answer: answer_id tbl_Result_Set: panelist_id question_id answer_id I'm trying to design a cube which will allow analyzing of the counts of how many panelists answered each question by each answer. For example if Q1 has possible answers of A,B,C and Q2 has possible answers of X,Y, I'd like to be able to browse the cube and see X Y A 10 5 B 3, 2 indicating that 10 people answered Q1 with A and Q2 with X.

• SQL Server waittype NETWORKIO blocking spid on SQLServer 2000

  I have a series of processes being blocked - after running sp_blocker_pss80 I can see that the blocking spid is coming from a batch program that is issuing a 'sp_prepexec' event and has a waittype of NETWORKIO. It looks very like the problem fixed by hotfix: 884554 in SP4. The db is SQLServer 2000 and running the following command: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') GO Gives the result SP4 So I guess I have the hotfix but I'm still experiencing this problem. The event that is 'blocking' is a select statement on a large table. Running the same batch process on identical data in a test environment doesn't give the same problem. I'm not certain that other processing on the test environment is identical though so it is ...Show All

• SQL Server The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

  The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "fk_Allergy". The conflict occurred in database "MSCPROJECT", table "dbo.Severity", column 'SeverityCode'.

• .NET Development Sending Email using SMTP

  Hello, I am trying to send an email message using Smtp client from my windows form application. However, the message does not get send (even though I call SendAsync method, and apparently it sends the message) until I close the application. How can I make the message to be sent right away Thank you. If I use Virtual PC, that has no AV software installed, and I run the .exe of the application that sends the message it seems that everything is working like it supposed to. Meaning, it sends the message, without me closing the form first. Here is the code that I use: // Send Email Message.

• SQL Server Copy Database wizard issue

  Despite the fact that both the package and the model db have the file locations set to e:\data\nnn, the SSIS package is creating / copying the files into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data.

  Hi How can I find these files where are they located exactly and how can I have access to them thnx Hello The files you are referring to are old TFS process template files that have since then been replaced or removed from the template.The main xml file in TFS V1 is called processtemplate.xml and that is probably what you want to look at.
