• SQL Server Changing Isolation Level.

  Changing Isolation Level to Snapshot or Snapshot Read Commited resolve all problems from deadlock thanks In general - yes: switching to the new isolation levels with non-blocking read access somewhat helps reducing the likelihood of deadlock, but would not completely eliminate them. However, you should remember that if the application behavior implicitly depends on the blocking semantics of the old isolation levels as implemented in the SQL Engine, the application may stop working correctly when switching to the versioning-based concurrency model. Ideally you should carefully analyze all the transactions in your application and make sure that you don't rely on the subtleties of the implementati ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Get Coordinates onclick

  I'm fairly new to javascript, and, as such, I have what I feel like should be a simple question. I want to get the coordinates (either pixel x, y or latitude, longitude will do) of where the user clicks on the map. I want to place push pins where they click, and, ultimately, I want to allow a connect the dots type drawing where the user simply clicks and a line is connected from where he previously clicked. I was hoping this could be raised as an event, but it doesn't look like it. Thanks in advance. Nice helper function -- I like the conversions. For the map events, I use something similar, attached to the two functions like this so that every time the map is moved the status bar receives an update: map.AttachEvent( "onendc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't find Class Designer

  I have looked at the documentation but I can't find the Class Designer. I know that I need to add a Class Diagram to the project but I can't find a Class Diagram (in the templates) to add. I searched this forum and found Can't find Class Designer on IDE . I have tried the instructions in the documentation and that thread but I can't find a Class Diagram to add. We have VS Professional Edition installed. It is not a beta version. I did not install it so if it can be installed without the Class Designer then I would not have known that. Is that a possible explanation for why I can't find Class Designer When I try to add a Class Diagram to the project, I see templates only for VC. Is the Class Diagram template in a different Category ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to distribute a PC-based XNA game?

  I looked in the documentation about releasing a PC-specific game and all I got was XBox 360 distribution. I'm working on a PC game that has no need for the XBox 360, just to be clear. I'm curious in what runtime files I need I'm sure it requires .NET 2.0, DirectX 9.0c, but are there some extra dlls that I need Thanks in advanced.

  I have a problem with a Dictionary-Class on the Compact Framework 2.0. I created a struct with some primitive-type members like this struct myStruct { double a; int b; } and put it into a Dictionary-Class like this: Dictionary<int,myStruct> foo = new Dictionary<int,myStruct>(); The assembly where i use this Dictionary-Object runs under the standard NET Framework 2.0 whithout problems. But when i try to run it on CF 2.0, i get this error-message: System.MissingMethodException / couldn't find method: .ctor My.Assembly.Name.dll could not be loaded.

• Visual Basic Help with string manipulation in combobox

  Hello, I have a combobox in which I populated as follows: John Smith - Count 24 How can I change that string in my combobox to read John Smith - Count 23 after I save a record ... and then John Smith - Count 22 and so on... I'm not sure if I could just grab the number value, and subtract it by 1 and then take the result and concatinate it back to the string... Thanks in advance. Hi Rashar, a possible solution is to create a integer variable and set that variables value as 23 dim countvariable as integer = 24 then set the combobox string as "John Smith - Count " plus the variable's value yourcombobox.text = "John Smith - Count " + countvariable.tostring put som ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions BindingManagerBase Position_Changed Problem

  Hey Everyone, I have a program that has several textboxes bound to 1 dataset which contains only one table.
