However, I found some difficulties on setting-up the replication on WAN. Is there any guidelines, setup documents or examples (like print screen) for me to refer to Hope able to get any assistance at here. Best Regards, Hans First define if the problem is the network connection (routing, firewall, e.t.c.) Then if it is a security problem (different domains without trust, accounts with improper rights, wrong passwords, e.t.c.) Lastly if it is a SQL config problem (e.g. are you running the SQL service with the SA account ) Can you give more details ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions .ToString

  Hi everyone, I used the following code and got a problem: double Q = 38.5367; label19.Text = Q.ToString("0.00 x 10^-6 m^3/s"); the zero at the "x 1 0 ^-6 m^3/s" will display the third decimal place of Q. It is possible to let it display zero Thanks. Hi, Do you want output 38.54 x 10^-6 m^3/s format of Q Try this way: label19.Text = Q.ToString("0.00")+" x 10^-6 m^3/s"; Cause every zero in the ToString method is regarded as valid digit of the number. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Super slow installation for VS2005 SP1 beta

  Well, it’s not something new, there are people at Microsoft that work hard to make our life easier, like the Microsoft Windows Vista installer for example, an entire OS in 20 min; and there are some less experienced developers (my assumption only) who are given for some reason the task of creating the VS2005 SP1 installer. Whoever wrote that thing, he, she or they, can say whatever they want, but to take 2 hours to get the SP1 beta installed is just damn stupid, here are 2 hours by a million people in the world, a total of 2 million hours lost, thanks to a group of developers at Microsoft, maybe they could have spend 100 more hours to learn math, or to profile the installer, and could have saved the world a million hours ...Show All

• SQL Server sql 2000 database restored sql server 2005

  I have a SQL 2k database backup and I restore it in sql server 2005. Is this now a SQL Server 2005 database or a 2K database in a 2005 server. Means do I need to convert databases somehow when I migrated from 2000 to 2005. Is the above mentioned way a way to migrate... or are ther some conversation tools. Any help / links / ressources would be Great... Felix Felix, The compat level does not change file format of your database. As Jeff said that was converted when you restored. Compat level sets how SQL Server processes certain syntax in your database that has changed over the versions, in case a sproc in your database depends on a quirk in a prior version it will leave your ...Show All

• .NET Development MDAC and Web page

  Hi there It happens sometimes that some web page wants to install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) and I don’t allow it to do that. So, why the page need DAO component in the first place It seems to me, that it is not used for anything after all (any page information loss).

• Visual C++ Every time while relocate : Add Files to Project

  Hi, In our project there are many files I have to add from different directories. And that is working fine. But if I relocate that project folder then path of all the added files is changed. And I have to delete those files and add the same files again every time. Is there any way to give relative path to this files so if I change the location then I need not add all the files again. Thanks - add an environment variable called let's say SRC_ROOT. Make it point to whatever location where your sources are. - unload your project from Visual Studio - edit the vcproj file using Wordpad - replace any path pointing to your files with something like $(SRC_ROOT)\myfile.cpp - save and loa ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Question about Bot SDK's

  I want to write simple natural language processing chat bot, and I spent almost entire day trying to find the proper SDK for the job. Here are some of my experiences: - Colloquis was acquired by Microsoft and their BuddyScript SDK is currently unavailable for download, and nobody knows when MS will issue a new version. - Incesoft SDK seems like a nice option, but administrative panel is incredibly slow (most of the users are complaining about their servers and leaving the entire platform), and i couldnt get the echo bot working. Probably had something to do with their servers... - Akonix L7 - At first glance, this project looked really promising, but as soon as i started making something, bunch of problems appeared. It just seems like it' ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application Deployment (Setup)

  Hello, I know it's possible to perform certain actions in a setup to deploy my application. For example only install one assembly by checking user input (option buttons). This is also documented on MSDN. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/conditional_statement_syntax.asp I wonder if anyone knows if it's possible to make for instance an extra dialog having 2 checkboxes, and when neither of them are checked, setup must be stopped. Steven Gilissen You can, but not really in an elegant way without actually modifying the built MSI. You can create a managed custom action and pass the data of the two checkboxes to the custom action. If they are both empty, t ...Show All

  Hey,    I've noticed something very wierd. I am using Visual Studio 2k5 for sometime but I've never tried to complile my previous Direct3D relelated projects on this release of Visual Studio, maybe because it never occured because the machine that I was developing them had 2k3.
