• Visual Studio Team System CTP6 - I am stumped!

  I've installed CTP6 and am attempting to create a 2005 Project. Can someone tell me what I should enter in the - Tools | Options | Data Connections page in the SQL Server Instance Name field - Tools | Options | Design-time Validation database page in the SQL Server Instance Name field No matter what I try entering in those fields, I get errors attempting to create a project. I have a local instance of SQL Server 2005 named 'SQLServer2005' I would like to be used. When I connect to this instance via Management Studio, I enter 'localhost\SQLServer2005' as the server name. I've tried all sorts of permutations in those two fields but nothing seems to work. Thanks - Amos. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Menu item in Debug menu?

  Hi, I've looked in all the ctc files of the inc folder but I cannot find the correct group id for the debug/window menu. Thanks for your help, Charles Hi Cverdon, The guid:id pair for that particular context menu is: C9DD4A58-47FB-11d2-83E7-00C04F9902C1:1026 If you are a participant in the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 beta, and you add the following registry key value: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\General] "EnableVSIPLogging"=dword:00000001 Then, when you hold down the ctrl+shift key and invoke a dropdown or context menu, a messagebox will display with the pertinent guid and menu ID info.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug?: Unwanted C4819

  For the following program (encoded in Latin1): #include <stdio.h> #ifdef _MSC_VER #define POUND 0xA3 #else #define POUND '￡' #endif int main() { printf("%c\n", POUND); return 0; } I get the following message under Chinese Windows: test.c : warning C4819 : The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss The point is that the offending line is not designed to work with MSVC. I do not think it right to give such a warning. I found this when compiling a cross-platform project. It has code like above for other platforms. Earlier versions of MSVC do not report this error. The suggestion is useless in my case (won't work ...Show All

If that is what you are asking, it is possible to run those packages in SQL SERVER 2005 but you will have to configure SQL Server 2005 to do so. SQL SERVER 200 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Audio works on PC but not 360

  Has anyone run into an issue where the audio works fine on the PC version of the game, but when you compile it for the 360 it does not I'm using a shared Solution, and have the content directories mirrored, and the content in the project is mirrored. The XACT file is set to copy always in the content pipeline. I see it create the banks and everything when it sends it to the 360, but there is no audio. Any help would be appreciated! Well I wasn't copying it originally, but I set it to copy because I thought it was a problem. Like I said, if I compile it for Windows it works just fine. The sound cues play when they should. On the 360 nothing happens. I also SEE on the Deploy screen on the xbox 360 the .xgs ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Equivalent for Oracle System Tables/Views

  We are in the process of supporting two databases (Oracle 10g, SQL Server 2005) for our application. I want to know what is the equivalent Tables/Views in SQL Server for the Oracle System tables dba_tab_comments, dba_tab_cols Thanks in advance No, its not the same concept as in Oracle. THe INFORMATION_SCHEMA Views will give you metadata information about the database. Starting in SQL 2k5 they will be secured to show only the data that the user is granted for (e.g. Tables he has minimum Select permissions on).

• .NET Development Is it possible to remote an event

  I've developed a service which processes files on our server. The one thing the service is missing is a control panel. For example there's no way to tell how many files are queued up and awating to be processed by the service, there's also no way to manually add files or remove files from the service's queue. So I'd like to create a control panel type application that would provide those features. I did some research that lead me to remoting as a way for the control panel to communicate with the service. I've never done any remoting but I don't believe serializing objects and getting the simple remoting tasks completed will be a problem. What I'm concerned about though is whether or not I can serialize/remote the event the serv ...Show All
