• Visual Studio An error has occurred while trying to access the log file. Logging may not function properly.

  I receive the error message defined in the subject of this post, then Visual Studio hangs and fails to launch. How can I repair this The problem is the VMDebugger Addin in VS 2005. But you can't disable the startup in the Addin-Manager. To hack it, use regedit to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft \VisualStudio\8.0\Addins\VMDebugger.Connect and set LoadBehaviour Dword value to 0 (instead of 1). source: http://www.chrisdoesdev.com/ Now VS 2005 works fine. ...Show All

• SQL Server Making managed code calls inside SQL Server in context of the client

  Dear all, I am very new to the subject of writing CLR code inside SQL Server, so I apologise if my questions seem naive. I have a requirement to populate an asp.net 2.0 GridView control with data columns, some of which are directly from a SQL Server 2005 database, but some of which are calculated by calling CLR methods passing the values from the database columns to those methods. However, the methods I need to call only make sense in the process context of the client web site which is calling the stored procedure which I want to write to return the data columns. In effect, I want to be able to make a remote procedure call from within the SQL Server CLR code to the methods available in the client process. Is this possible If ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Components - help!

  Hello, I'm just starting out with XNA (and it's the first language I've tried that doesn't include the word basic...) but have found myself a bit stuck whilst trying to use GameComponents. I followed the rather excellent tutorial for creating a tile engine at XnaResources and now have a fully functioning game component that draws & controls my tile map to screen - my idea being to create a simple 2D RPG, but first I want to build a map creator/editor that uses the tile engine to display & scroll the map. So far so good - I've written a (very) basic interface that allows me to enter the name of the text file that stores the map data and then displays it on the screen. But where I've hit a wall is that anything I do in my main game i ...Show All

• SQL Server DTS Package, global variable, test vs live?

  Are global variable parameters in a DTS package specific to "only" that one package and do not effect other packages I need to add a variable to a test package but am worried that if I add this parameter it might affect the live production Table. There are two different servers on different sides of the firewall, there are two different databases and there are two tables but with different names, and there are DTS packages but they reference different tables in the query code. So is it ok to add the global variable which would allow this DTS to delete recent records from the "test" version and it wont do anything to my live version By the way I did check Microsoft's website for more details on DTS and variables. ...Show All
