• SQL Server Copying database using "Copy Database" - still failing after SP2

  I am struggling with the "Copy Database Wizard" in SQL Server 2005. I am used to working with DTS to copy data from one server to another, but with the new tools, I am having serious problems (in fact, it's unusable) 1. When copying a database using the "SQL Management Object" method, I always get errors concerning logins. If I select not to copy logins, I get errors "sp_grantdbaccess failed". If I do select to copy logins, the logins can't be created because the machine names are different (one the source machine, the login is called MACHINE1/mylogin, but on the destination machine, such a login cannot be created) 2. For small databases, I ALWAYS get the error "CREATE DATABASE failed. Primary file must be at least 3 MB to accommodat ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Beginner's question: "Easy" adding of event handlers

  Hi everyone! I've just started to look into the WPF and installed WPF Designer extension for Visual Studio 2005. (How) Can I add event handlers Or should I manually create handler function in the code, and then add a property in xaml I can't even see the Events tab on the Properties panel... :( Maybe I don't understand something big ;) Hello Pradeep, What you're expecting to work in WPF (that is, imperative drawing in code in the OnPaint event) is counter to WPF's design & architecture. There are lots of places to look, but my fave is to start with Jessica Fosler's doc on coming to WPF from a Windows Forms perspective . (or check out the series indexed via a blog post ) If you have othe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleted Folder still visible- Can't remove

  I deleted a folder. Other users can't see the folder but I can. I checked and unchecked show deleted items just to be sure. I did Get Latest and Get Specific version on the entire project (with force get). I did refresh on the tree. I restarted the IDE. Still shows the folder after that. Richard Berg MSFT wrote: Well, it's not SCE's fault. The server thinks you still have an old (non-deleted) version of the item. Running Get should fix it. But we can see the item was deleted. I have run get from the root of the project and that folder itself, both get specific (force) and get latest with no luck. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) GridView CellTemplate

  Hello, I just started using GridView today, it is pretty cool. I have a question about the cellTemplate property of GridViewColumn class. I want to style the content of a cell (fontsize, etc.) so I use cellTemplate (I'm not sure if this is correct ). So I need to define my binding in the cellTemplate's value (a datatemplate resource). But then I would have to define a cellTemplate for each column. Is there a better way to approach this problem, so that I have one style for all my cells regardless of which column the cell belongs to Thanks Houman Yes. Define the template as a resource and then apply the resource to each of the columns using a resource expression. That would look a little someth ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Document Library WebPart and Folder Navigation

  Hi, I have created a Document Library and am using folders rather than columns for organization. This is largely because when users upload more than one document at a time they are not prompted to tag them with metatdata and then lose thier files amongst the existing documents. It is difficult for them to then find the documents and edit the properties after the fact. With this being said, it is more convenient for them to navigate to the appropriate folder and then upload the multiple documents. The one issue with navigating the folders is with the Document Library Web Part. I can't find a way for them to navigate up a directory. The "Up" button is no longer in the toolbar. The breadcrumbs don't work like they do if you ...Show All
