• Visual Studio How to access the Server Explorer?

  Hallo I want to write an AddIn or Package (i don't care) that can do the following: Access the Server Explorer from Visual Studio 2005 and select one connection and take a look on all stored procedures of this connection. In fact I'm talking about connections to an Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I want to read all properties of these stored procedures and maybe the sql code. After this I want to create new xsd-files in the current solutuin and add this stored procedures to the xsd.

I can't find a way to access the Server Explorer or its data I can access the solution in the Solution Explorer and so on, ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies adhoc cube browsing

  We have built a MOSS2007 extranet for one of our customers. We would like to allow our customer to browse SSAS2005 data to do real adhoc analysis. I was hoping that we could use the local excel 2007 installation to connect to the cube by using a data connection published on the data connection library. Unfortunately this does not work. Simply publishing excel workbooks is not sufficient, because you cannot drag and drop dimensions and measures. If anybody has a solution for this or tips for a workaround, please let me know... Thanks in advance Joos Just remove the firewall and place it all on the outside ;-) LOL No, Really, would Reporting Services not give you the ablilty to expose it outs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Data Binding is not updating the database

  Hi Microsoft Community, I'm a new visual basic developer and am using the visual basic 2005 express edition with sql server 2005 express edition.  I've been going through some lessons and have encountered a situation that I'm hoping someone can identify what the issue is. When creating a form with listbox and textbox components, I first request data from a table called customer.  I'm using a table adapter to manage the connection, request and response from my sql server express database called mycompany.  Upon the return of the data, my intermediate dataset is populated with the requested data.  I'm sure the data has been retrieved because by utiizing the binding navigator component, I can view the data.  I have t ...Show All

• .NET Development Adding explicit right for one user on a remote machine using WMI

  I need to be able to add an access rule for a user on a remote machine. When I use WMI to accomplish the task, all the inherited rights on a folder are converted to explicit rights. I must be missing a flag somewhere, although I've pretty much tried every setting I could find. Below is the code that uses the system.security namespace and works fine on localhost: dim myAccount as New System.Security.Principal.NTAccount( me .ComputerName, 'TestUser' ) Dim rule As New system.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(myAccount, fileSystemRights, system.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType.Allow) Dim directorySecurity As system.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity = IO.Directory.GetAccessControl(folder) d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Requested help topic for SDK

  I've noticed that a recurring question is "how do I programmatically interact with template-generated elements/controls " (or something to that effect). I'm not aware of any samples or docs which explain how to do that. People have concocted solutions but I think that MS should address this common programming task with their suggested best practice. If such a sample/help file exists, please be so kind as to point it out to me. If it does not, MS, please consider creating it. I think it would help a lot of people out. Thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to control record deletion using BindingNavigator?

  Hello.. When I use BindingNavigator to navigate records shown in a DataGridView a button whose default action is to delete records is placed on the toolbar. How can I show a confirmation message when that button is clicked I tried to use the Click event but when I don't accept the deletion, I don't know how to cancel the process. That is the first problem. The second problem is that if I have more than one rows selected in the DataGridView, only the first selected row is deleted. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks Jaime Firstly you have to select your bindingnavigator - > property . set deleteitem to none. then this code - > Private Sub BindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click( ByVal sender ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA for CAD & Modeling?

  I am looking for feedback on using the XNA framework in a graphics engine for a 3d modeling app. All I ever see when 3D graphics are mentioned is games, games, games! Games are great and obviously drive the 3D market, but I am interested in writing a simple (to start) graphics engine for use in a civil engineering modeling and simulation app. How well will XNA handle lines, line weight, line types Can the XNA framework be used without Game Studio Express I am coding in C# so XNA would seem to be the logical choice rather than OpenGL. Any other feedback on limitation of XNA for this type of use would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! While games were obviously our main design focus, it should be feasible to w ...Show All

• .NET Development How is data sorted in ADO.NET?

  Hi Guys, Basically, I have a table in SQL server that I insert into a datatable. From the datatable, I use a For Each loop to cycle through each element, do some logic, then insert the current row into another table. The order in which the rows are inserted into the target table is crucial to the success of the package. The select statement is a simple query that does not use any sorting. For example, I have a source table (with a clustered index) like this: ID Descr 1 A 2 B 3 C Now after I select all the rows into my datatable, I want to insert them again to another target table in the order I got them. If the row with ID =3 is inserted before 2, then the package fails. Now my ...Show All
