• Visual Studio Trouble installing the December MSDN Library

  I received the latest MSDN DVD distribution the other day. The package included the December 2006 version of the MSDN Subscriptions Library. When I try to install this updated version of the library my XP/SP2 system totally hangs trying to do something on/with the DVD. If I put the DVD in a system that does not have VS 2005 installed and does not have any previous version of the library installed I can read the DVD without any problems. My question is has anyone else seen this problem with the December library If so, have you found any workarounds other than to stay with the previous library version Thanks Neil Another update (if it helps). I uninstalled Sonic DLA and then restarted my system. After that I was able to get to the D ...Show All

• SQL Server table design

  We have very large database exceeding tera bytes. The new feature  I am working on requires me to add 2 cols in a table which is also very large. But I also have choice to create another table which will store key value pair insted of adding new 2 cols. In small database it won't matter. But dose anyone know if one would be better than other option in very large database   Thanks Hi, well that truly depends... if the data is common to the table entries, then you should create new columns. If the data is very custom for every entry, you should consider a new table with the appropiate entries. If you are concerning about the size, you should consider about partitioning your tables. As the storage engine is separ ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with C#/OleDb : FileNotFoundException

  Hi! I'm using visual C# 2005 express, and I just added a new data connection through the "DataBase Explorer" and I can see the tables there, in DB explorer. But I tried to use the component "DataGridView". I configured it and I could see the table Categories from Nortwind there, but when I execute the application, there's an error: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'nwindDataSet.Categories' table.

• Smart Device Development MSDN's errors?!"Sysgen" in "How to develop a Boot loader"!

  The followings are the steps to develop a Bootloader: You can get them on MSDN's "How to develop a Boot Loader" 1. Create a directory for your new boot loader code. For example: %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\MyPlatform\Src\Bootloader\Eboot.The boot loader code directory is typically in a hardware platform directory. You must include the directory in the hardware platform dirs file to build it as part of Platform Builder. 2. Set up a command-line build shell to create and build the boot loader. set _WINCEROOT=wince500 cd %_WINCEROOT%\public\common\oak\misc Wince.bat ARMV4I CEBASE MyPlatform 3.

• Visual C# design question related to using Collection of Custom entities

  If I have an Account class. The class can have several Memo objects. I implemted a Memo class that I bind to my fMemo form. I use Memo class in order to create and diplay a single Memo of the account. But, I will also need to display a grid with all memos of the account. My 2 questions pls: 1/ Is it wise to display the grid of all memos of the account using Collection of my Memo Custom Entity class or is it wiser just to use a Dataset or sqlDatareader instead. 2/ Was the idea of using the Memo Custom entity class a good one or do you think that doesn t have bug value and just complicates the programming process and makes it take longer time. Thanks a lot. I agree with everything Michael said except for the part about b ...Show All

• Windows Forms fire TextChanged for a ComboBox

  I've been reading the related posts and playing around with my ComboBox and its TextChanged event since this morning,but still stuck. Here is my issue: ------------ Instead of SelectedIndexChanged and SelectedValueChanged, I use TextChanged event to detect the real change of a ComboBox. It cannot be edited, so I set the dropdownstyle as DropDownList. I've checked that the TextChanged has been registered. But when I run the application and select other option from this combobox, this event still cannot be fired. To solve this problem, what else can I check Or do I miss anything ------------ Appreciate your time.Thanks! noBugz, thank you so much for looking into this problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) .Net Remoting two times faster than WCF!

  In our healthcare enterprise multitier application the .Net Remoting transports are two times faster then WCF(we have plugable client/server transports): Measuring results for the same couple of client server requests: -> Tcp Remoting: 3.4 seconds -> Http Remoting (IIS-Hosted): 3.5 seconds -> Tcp WCF: 6.5 seconds -> Http WCF (IIS-Hosted): 7.3 seconds -> Http WCF (IIS-Hosted) with MTOM: 10.3 seconds Security: We just use authentication by NTLM Serialization: We use the NetDataContractSerializer, and not the DataContractSerializer (RPC style) Can WCF be tuned to be as fast as remoting The use of MTOM which replaces text by binary data makes the communication slower.

• Visual Studio Team System How to copy generic folders&files along with the build output to drop folder?

  I have a specific need that the build out put should also contain one or more folders which are not directly involved with building the project. In other words, the 'extra' folder may contain docs (*.doc), or some bat files (*.bat), which would be useful while deploying on the desired server. So, I would need these extra folder(s) which are in source control to be copied to the 'drop location' along with the build output. Can anyone give some idea please Thanks in advance \b You could use the Copy task to copy files or run XCopy from the Exec task. Check out this blog post for some ideas on how to do this. Hope this helps. ...Show All

• SQL Server question about job names

  When I create a 'simple' transactional push replication 3 jobs are created. As far as I know from studing books online I can either let SQL Server generate the jobs, and SQL Server determine the jobname (which is different with every time I let generate them), or I can create the jobs manually and use that jobs when I create publication and subscription. What I like is that SQL Server generate the jobs with a name I define. Why is this not supported Or do I miss something Regards Wolfgang Kunk This is supported. You can't do this by clicking through the replication wizard. You can do this by executing the stored procedures to create the publication, articles, and subscriptions. I've done this many times. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need help with adding new record

  I have a windows application that has a form containing text boxes bound to a binding source. I have a bindingnavigator that it bound to the source. I want to be able to provide some default values to the text boxes when the user clicks the Add New Item on the binding navigator. Using the AddingNew on the bindingsource is too early as the record does not exist at this point. In another language there was an event called 'OnNewRow' where I could do this. what is the equivelant in VB How can I do this I think you'll have to handle this at the datasource level. If the datasource is a DataTable, just set the DefaultValue property for the column, or for more advanced functionality, extend your DataT ...Show All
