• SQL Server Database access by machines running SQL Servers 2005 32-bit and 64-bit

  Hello We have 1 machine running SQL Server 2005 x64 (64 bit). The other machine is backing this SQL Server up. It is a 32-bit machine, so it requires ( ) a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005. Would this back-up machine work correctly on a database previously managed by a 64-bit machine and vice versa. Thank you! Yes, in terms of connection and administration you won’t feel any difference. But you only can install 32bit software on a 32bit system. HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack

• Windows Forms Best way to handle shortcuts ?

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a good OO-way to handle keyboard shortcuts. Atm my shortcut handling code consists of a big list of if else if else statements containing switch statements (if/else to detect the modifiers, the switch statement to handle the keys) As you might have guessed, this is ugly and not very clean. I tried using a Dictionary of Keys to Action (a simple void delegate) mapping. but the problem here is that the keys pressed never match those in the dictionary because extra modifiers and flags are present. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions how to make a decent key to action mapping. Thanks, Ben. Are you using a ContextMenuStrip control for this Its men ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF TextBox disable or handle paste

  If I'm deriving from TextBox is there any way to disable or override the default paste handling I've tried to attach handlers for the ApplicationCommands.Paste command, but I must be doing something wrong as none of them are firing. If you are deriving from RichTextBox, you can try the following in your derived class. CommandManager.RegisterClassCommandBinding( typeof (MyRichTextBox), new CommandBinding(ApplicationCommands.Undo, new ExecutedRoutedEventHandler(OnUndoCommand), new CanExecuteRoutedEventHandler(OnCanExecuteUndo))); Doesnt this work for you ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ContextMenu renders slow in Vista

  I have an old WinForms notifyicon in the tray and when i click the icon i open a WPF contextmenu at the position of the mouse. In the contextmenu i have about 10 subitems with about 20 subitems each. When i open one of the first-level menus i animate the height of its subitems to create a nice slide-in-effect. On Windows XP this works fine, the animations run smooth without any problems. But on Vista the framerate on the contextmenu realy is crap(i estimate it's around 5-20fps). Only opening the menu without any animation takes 1sec, on XP this is instant. I've tried with both DWM activated and deactivated and it's the same problem in both cases. I've also checked with perforator and it says 0 software renderers.   ...Show All
