• Visual Studio Express Editions Inserting "Null" Values on a SQL DB with a Table Adapter

  Hi all!!! I have this quite simple SQL 2005 Express DB. The structure of the DB is the following: id - Int (Primary Key) date - datetime text - nvarchar(50) I'm trying with a TableAdapter to insert a "null" value to the field's date and text but no good. Me .TableAdapter.Insert(1, what do i put here !, what do i put here !) Thank's dp I don't believe that this answers the original question, which was how to make a TABLEADAPTER deal with nulls properly. As I understand it there is a problem in VS2005, such that the automatically generated dataset used by the TableAdapter has a "NullValues" setting of (throw exception), In my ophinion this basically rende ...Show All

• SQL Server How to allow remote connections to SQL Server 2005 Express database

  I've developed an asp.net 2.0 web app with vs 2005 and am using a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The app works fine locally, but after uploading to the remote web server the following error occures: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) How do I go about granting remote connections to SQL Server Express Does the web server have to have SQL Server Express installed in order to run apps that utilize SQL Server 2005 Express databases Do I grant access locally ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving Settings?

  Hey i have made a little program in VB2005. Their are some settings of cores :) Right now i am saving them a very strange way.. I make a txt file for each setting. And then i just use the my.computer.filesystem.Read/Wright ting. Hmm.. so if it reads like the file contains the text "1" then it will activate the setting... That is quite hard to do that for every settings. And it is quite messy to look at in the program folder where all the files are saved. So my question is: Is their an easier way to do this I am thinking of something like one text file where you could do it like this AutoSave 1 Hide 0 You know 1 = on, and 0 = off I was thing that the vb might somehow reconigse the text "AutoSave" and then reads i ...Show All

How do I generate the data so that the price is in the range of MinPrice and MaxPrice for each product Thanks. Jimmy Hi Jimmy, Here is my answers to your questions: Answer to Question 1: It is my misunderstanding of your question, since I saw you mentioned Date. Sorry. Answer to Question 2: Try set the Min =0, Max = 900 for MinPrice and Min=100, Max = 1000 for MaxPrice, and Keep the seeds on both generator the same. You should get pretty decent MinPrice/MaxPrice pairs. Answer to Question 3: Use ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Default web search engine

  Hello All How can you tell WDS to use google for the default web search, currently mine now goes to http://wwwa.look-up-results.com/ cannot find any info for this site on google ot any other search engine Any assitance greatly appreciated Sorry for the late reply, but I think I found it, with Mcafee's assistance.

I didn't find anything there, but I did note that Google (when clicking the HOME button) will come up... but won't display the results a second time. My updates expired from ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem receiving incoming calls

  Hello All Cannot solve a problem for a long time. I want to intercept incoming voice/data calls on PocketPC and SmartPhone. Everything works fine except behavior of standard answering module. When application calls lineAnswer standard phone application disconnects the call.

Please, give me some advice on howto resolve this. Thank you for your efforts! You are not supposed to answer incoming calls on phone devices. The overall design is crafted to prevent this.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I got Animation working but tiny.x has some weird data

  I've been working on a modelprocessor that grabs animation data using the default importer. I've managed to get my own fbx files and tiny.x to animate correctly but I noticed the default importer actually gives me animation keyframes for the body node. They're keyframes at time 0 and time 1.0333333s and they have the same transform. If I use the inverse of the body node's keyframe transform I can transform tiny so that the model is walking upright (otherwise the body is facing down more like swimming). But doing this transform also make tiny float 3 bodylengths or so above the origin. I'm wishing I had tiny's source file so I can see why there's 2 animations of the same transform and where they're supposed to be putting the mod ...Show All

• Visual C# Does C# 2005 support coding RS232 serial communications?

  It seems VS.NET does not support RS232 serial communications, many people choose to use VB MSComm to do serial communications. Besides, we can also get " Use P/Invoke to Develop a .NET Base Class Library for Serial Device Communications " source code and to apply it in our application from : John Hind's CommBase( http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/10/netserialcomm/ ) However, to get VB MSComm means to buy another software. Does VS 2005 has solved this problem and has some built-in functions to support RS232 serial communication Is there any example about this Thank you! Pockey, I am not particularly enthusiastic about I/O communication, but I have worked on a project that involved transmitting/receiving d ...Show All
