• SQL Server How to restore SQL 2000 DB to SQL 2005

  Hi, All I am trying to restore SQL 2000 DB into SQL 2005 Database. I backup the database from SQL 2000. From Management Suit, I try to restore database but I can not see network drive from there even though SQL serveris running under network account. I could see network drive from SQL 2000 or at least I can type path to find backup file. However I can not do this.. My Q is: 1. How can I restore this SQL 2000 db to SQL 2005 using network path 2. Since backup is SQL 2000 database, when I restore into SQL 2005, does restore upgrade system tables and other schema to SQL 2005 as well If not, what is the best practice to upgrade this database into SQL 2005 Upgrading SQL 2000 current server to SQL 2005 is not an option at this point.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ContentManager setting parameters on custom effects in the Draw() method

  Where is the best place to set effect parameters An example below will best demonstrate the problem I am having, because I load the effect via the content manager, I have to set the effect parameters within the Render() method, because if I set them in the Update() method and many objects reference this effect then the last object that has the Update() method called on it will take precedence over what the parameters are set with. I thought its a good idea to minimise the amount of work Render() has to do and only do rendering Maybe this is not a problem and I am getting worried about nothing and its perfectly normal to set effect parameters in a Render() method Of course I dont want to create a seperate effect instance for each of my ...Show All

• Visual J# Visual J# 1.1 Redistributables XP Embedded

  Is there a component for XP Embedded for Visual J# 1.1 Redist. available Hi, If you have built your assembly on 2.0 Framework then there is no way you can run it on Fx 1.1. This is true irrespective of the language you have chosen for coding, i mean a C# assembly built in 2.0, can't be run on 1.1. The reason is that 2.0 aseembly metadata has changed from 1.1. That's why even if you write a config file to redirect to 1.1 and run your asembly, you will get a BadImageFormatException. Now coming back to your problem, i am not getting following statement completely... "The customer / 3rd party application developers require the J# redistributables which in turn requires the .net 1.1 component" Does this statement m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Picture Viewer

  I now have the Thumbnail Control working, after my last post it's a control that is fully independent, all you need on the form is a PictureBox, Panel and Button in the Buttons click event you place one line of code ShowThumbs.GenThumbs(DirectCast(pnlThumbs, ScrollableControl)) and that's it. So why am I here well it's because when the thumbs load they take a long time first each picbox loads in the panel one at a time then the pictures load.This isn't bad for a few Images but if there are 100 Images! What I want is to create the thumbs quicker. Any Ideas If you want to see the code let me know and I will post it. No, as usual you're bang on, it's the blue rectangle that I need to remove.

• Visual Basic Populating a field by selecting from a pop-up lookup list

  Hi. I've got a combo box "cmbxDepartmentID" whose row source is a lookup table "tblDepartmentLkup", which has over 3000 records, many of them similar in name (department names at a university / hospital). During data entry, the user will need to view all department options that are similar to the information on the written form (usually abbreviated). What I have now is a button on the form that opens a parameter query "qryDepartmentLkup", where the user enters known info and wildcards (*). The user can then copy and paste their selection. This works fine, but what I'd like to do is: 1. Have the button open a form (maybe "frmDepartmentLkup") based on the above parameter query, I guess in d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Any "Keyboard.SetState"-like features in XNA? A simple question for a complex problem...

  Hi to the MSDN community! I'm currently trying to implement a simple force feedback feature in a motion sensor-controlled Pong clone written using XNA Game Studio Express, but to do so I need to pass a simulated keypress to an external application I cannot modify (GlovePIE, an input emulator who only accepts keypress events). So, I'd need a method to set an unused key's state to "pressed" (while it physically isn't)... but I can't find anything like this. Could somebody please help me Thanks in advance :) I am guessing you want to access wii-mote on Windows :) You should just skip GlovePie and access the wii-mote directly: http://www.ziggyware.com/news.php readmore=150 If you still want to send a ke ...Show All

• Gadgets OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All
