• SQL Server Got BIDS working, was there another way?

  i re-installed the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE several times(4) trying to get the BIDS part to work. Each time i had the issue of it looking for the devenev.exe as others have mentioned. I gave up on a 5th install and went for the unsupported option of running vs_setup , after the toolkit.exe dumped all the install files to its temporary directory i went in there and ran it sperately... but essentially i did it the same way as this method... http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=368549&SiteID=1 while this did work, it seems to be the unsupported way. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=665067&SiteID=1 Im not opposed to going back and doing it right, but was there ever a conclusion as to why the BIDS prog ...Show All

• .NET Development Could not load file or assembly 'vcWebCore' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

  All, I have a web project that references a strong-name DLL which contains a HttpModule, it is called vcWebCore.dll. The DLL is registered in GAC using the gacutil.exe and everything looks fine. I can see the DLL in my c:\windows\assembly directory with the correct version (1.0.0.0) and public key token.

• Visual Basic ImageLooper Control

  I am working on a VB tutorial, and at the same time trying to create my first control called ImageLooper. This is pretty straightforward, a control box with a picturebox1 inside, a left arrow button and a right arrow button (button1 and button1 respectively). The idea is, with each click in either direction, the next or previous in line image will display, depending on which arrow is clicked. Each button works individually ok, but when I switch from the left arrow button to the right or visa versa, instead of going to the next image down or up, on the first click, it takes one step in the opposite direction, displays that (wrong) image, then, with subsequent clicks, starts moving through the images correctly. The language is below: ...Show All

• Visual C++ Keyboard Hooks

  Hi, I'm creating a keylogger to test an antivirus program I am making, and from what I've heard, the best way to do this is with a Keyboard Hook. If somebody could not only post the code involved in creating a Keyboard Hook but possibly give some basic explanation of it. If anyone could do this for me I would greatly appreciate it because I've looked around this forum and the internet to figure out how to do this hook but I havent had any luck yet. Most people familiar with system-wide hooks will be skeptical of your motivation. My guess is that in this case, there is ample justification for being suspicious. It took me a couple of months to get a system-wide hook to work. I studied everything I could f ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) serviceMetadataBehavior and externalMetadataLocation with a relative URL

  Hello everybody, I'm testing externalMetadataLocation attribute of serviceMetadataBehavior. Looking at the behavior code, sounds that are allowed only http and https URI as valid values for the attribute. By the way, if I configure it within my .config file with a relative URL (like simply a filename.wsdl), the service works and the ServiceHost loads (hosting the service in ASP.NET), but when I try to request the WSDL documentation, the URL is incorrect. For instance if I use the following behavior configuration in the .config file: <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" externalMetadataLocation="file.wsdl" /> when I request my .svc file I get: http://localhost:2481/TestService/MyService.svc/file. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Serial Communication at 230400 baud rate

  I am creating a DLL for serial communication using VC6.0. I can achieve communication with baud rates up to 115200 using the CBR_115200 constant in WINBASE.h. I need 230400 but it does not exist and MSDN does not support 230400, it jumps from 115200 to 256000. I have tried adding CBR_230400 to WINBASE.h with no success, can any provide any information for using Microsoft's serial functions (DCB) with 230400 baud rate have tried CBR_256000 with device set to its max of 230400 -- didn't work. Max baud rate on serial device is 230400, so 256000 didn't work. Why would Microsoft design Hyperterminal with 230400 and WINBASE.h without it pelase help. Simply specify 230400 for the baud rate (forget about any CBS_ constant). Bu ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie BIDS questions

  I've been learning SSIS and the BIDS for a few weeks now and there are 2 things that really annoy me. I'm hoping that there is a setting or option or something that I'm missing. 1. I place objects on the Control Flow surface, get everything arranged the way I want it, constraint lines all nice and tidy and then save it. When I open it things aren't the way they were when I closed it. Any way to make them stay the same 2. If I select multiple objects and copy them when I paste them they are in really interesting places. Any way to have them stay in the same realitive positions This is one of the most helpful forums I've ever posted in so thanks to you all for the assistance. John Colaizzi ...Show All

• SQL Server Incomplete full text index

  I have created a full text catalogue on my Addresses table with exactly same configuration on 3 databases. Two of them are on SQL 2005 and one on SQL 2000. My Addresses table has 13 million rows and the full text was on the Full Address column. FT Index on SQL 2005 database was created very quickly (within 2 hours) while SQL 2000 FT took 30 hours. But my issue is SQL 2005 index does not contain all the words. For an example following 2 queries gives me the exactly same number on the SQL 2000 database while on SQL 2005, first query only return 11 and the 2nd one 274 (which is same on 2000 server/database as well) SELECT count (*) FROM [dbo] .

• .NET Development Reflection + late bound COM object = not working.

  Hello, I'm trying to discover properties of a late bound COM object, I do: Type newtype= Type .GetTypeFromProgID("MyCOMLibrary.MyCOMType"); object newobject = Activator .CreateInstance(newtype); System.Reflection. PropertyInfo [] props3 = newtype.GetProperties(); However, 0 properties are returned when object really has a few properties. If I instantiate the com object by a RCW it works ok. Please note I have simplified the code above but in my application I don't know the properties names, I don't even know the ProgID, I need to discover the properties at runtime without knowing the name.
