• Visual Studio Team System "Object Reference Not Set" When Opening Solution

  I created a stored procedure to automate the setting of some default values in my target database.  I ran the stored procedure and the defaults were successfully created.  I then used schema compare to import those new defaults into my project.  The compare picked up the defaults fine.  I copied the resulting script to the T-SQL editor and applied it against my design database (local machine, sqlexpress).  The script reported it was applied successfully. Upon re-opening the project I now receive the error "Object Reference Note Set To An Instance of An Object".  I am unable to access the project with VS.  Kind of painful.  1. Any ideas what happened   2. Can schema compare be ...Show All

• .NET Development HOW TO DELETE RECORD IN A DATABASE ?

  Hi, I have question to delete record in database. After clicked delete button I was able remove that row from view in datagridview but this record still exist in database.

Joseph Please, get in the habit of using Parameters with your database queries. They make coding easier, in the longrun, because they will handle all the formatting. Furthermore, they will handle strings in such a way as to prevent SQL injection hacker attacks when you are wri ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Express slow/stalling

  Hi All, I've read a few threads on problems that look similar to my issue, but I can't seem to find a solution. Is there any particular reason a queries should take longer than normal to execute And I don't just mean a couple of seconds... Some times a query can take about 0.01 seconds to execute (which is good) and others it takes 25 seconds to execute (which is bad). This anomaly seems to occur on all websites using the database instance. The only thing I can think of is something to do with the server running as a Windows user as opposed to System. The user (system.mssql) has no special rights except for log on as service, plus all the normal (modify) permissions on the SQL-related directories. If anybody could give me a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Re Saving to the 'Other Database'

  Hi, I have a beginner question about the two databases and the saving to database while running/debugging issue. I have read all the forums and associated links regarding this issue. What I understand is that when I run (or debug) my program, the application saves the data in to a bin/output data file which, in my own language is a temporary copy of the real database file. If I edit or make changes through running my application, the process of running includes copying the real datase data into the temporary one (if "do not copy" is not selected in the DataSet properties). The returned Update integer actually relates to the update of the bin/output, or temporary database file, and never updates the real one ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Anti-Piracy Security

  I have this scary feeling that people are going to eventually figure out how to use XNA Game Studio Express to right code that will take advantage of the 360 hardware and allow booting of pirated(non-stamped and signed) games. What steps has MS taken to avoid this And if or when this happens will the "rights" and options open to the amauter devs be limited(Limited library uses or such) I really am looking foward to developing for my beloved 360 but I don't want anyone to ruin the fun.

Can you do that and still access Live I would think there would be some kind of validation. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions your sql server installation is eaither corupt or has been tampered with (could not open SQLEVN70.RLL)

  i have tried un installing it and re-installing it over and over and there is no change! please help me! This is what the post says: Hello pchservicesIN, you could try a few things 1. if you go to start->settings->control panel-> add remove programs is there an option to uninstal sql server run it, then reinstall sql server + reinstall SP3A and try again to boot 2. do a system restore to before where the problem began, but maybe think twice because if 3 is correct then you end with the Office installation problem again [think the next one is far off but anyway] 3. this error could also be caused by renaming a PC or server in the network that is running SQL Server 7. - use the SQL Server CD to run setup - you get promp ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Difference using WorkflowQueuingService and ExternalDataExchangeService

  Hi Im playing with WWF and wondering what the difference is between using WorkflowQueuingService and using ExternalDataExchangeService I have read alot about why we need all these layers when dealing with workflow data exchange (support for pasivation eg). Ok. i thought that ExternalDataExchangeService solved that problem. No I just downloaded chapter 3 of Dharmas book (Essential Worfklow) wich states: " Although various communication technologies (such as WCF or ASMX) can be layered upon WF, they all must use the WorkflowQueuingService to robustly deliver data to passivated WF program instances " Where does that leave ExternalDataExchangeService regarding pasivation And what is the techinal/implemention wise diffrenc ...Show All

• Windows Forms Glass effects with .net

  Well, this is really a comment and a question: I posted a sample on .net (windows forms) and glass using the Dwm functions to do frame extend, sheet of glass, full client blur, arbitrary client blur - on my blog ( http://philiprieck.com/blog/archive/2006/07/21/GlassForm.aspx ) Just one problem: Anyone know of a fix for the "must paint black over glass" limitation that doesn't resort to using a WS_LAYERED (aka transparency key) window Painting black isn't really a problem - it's putting winforms controls on top of it - the background and foreground gets all messed up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Philip That certainly seems to be true - hopefully GDI+ is better - but it l ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Non-Generic ChannelFactory

  We can use the generic ChannelFactory class to instantiate a proxy given a contract type, such as an interface declaration. Suppose I want to build an extensible system and declare my contract types in a file or a database - as string values. Obviously, you can't do something like ChannelFactory<"typename">. Is there a way of creating a channel based on an implicit type name - "assembly, typename" format Or even if you can specify a Type.GetType() I know "configuration" is probably the generic answer. But we have requirements that extend beyond using simple app.config files. Thanks! stevecohn, For this purpose, I have created the ChannelFactory2 class wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Rpresenting ranges as nmbers

  Hi, Is there anyway I can represent a range (A1, E1) as something like (11,41) Can I replace "A" and "E" part with some integer Actually I am populating the excel sheet dynamically and I cant tell how many columns or row I am going to have at design time. So to create named ranges I have to rely on number of columns and rows I have in my datatable using MyDataTable.Columns.Count and MyDataTable.Rows.Count. Thanks, VSTO 2003 does not provide a lot of documentation about the Office object model; however, there are a number of topics on using the Excel object model for specific tasks at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_wrcore/html/wror ...Show All
