• .NET Development If server stops

  Hi, I'm trying to catch an exception in my application when SQL server 2005 express stops responding. Everything works fine, but when I stop server service in the middle of my application running (there can be many reasons why service may stop) I receive a bunch of errors! Since I'm using Try.. Catch ex as SQLException, the message numbers that are returned wary: -1, 0, 2, 40, 232, 233 etc. The message depends on wehter I'm using local server or network connection, wether I'm trying to connect to non-responding server for the first time or any other time, even depends on location in code - where I'm openinig SQL connection. Is there any simple way to cath the error and provide user with a MsgBox saying 'Your server stops respondin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registry PW

  I was wondering is there is a simpla way to save a PW to the registry and keep it there.So the next time the program is used it will only start with that PW from the registry, Also to set the default PW when its first run on the PC. PW = password you can use the Win32.Registry namespace to access the registry classes. Of course you must have the appropriate user account permissions to read/write to the registry. take a look at this and see if it helps: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/39sck7ta.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Toolwindow losing focus - event?

  I've got a tool window in 2003 and I'd like to know when it loses focus, i.e. to know when its title goes from blue to white. OnLostFocus doesnt appear to work... I've dug around in the MitWin sample, and the OnSetFocus and OnKillFocus are correctly called as expected. However, when I put a OnGotFocus override in the MyToolWindow of the Managed Tool Window example, it never fires, while the OnLostFocus fires when it gets the focus (it appears). Jamie WindowEvents does not have an event for lost focus. I suppose I can have the package track the focus and tell my tool window when its lost the focus. Unfortunately it wont tell me when the whole application loses focus. Any ideas for that Jamie ...Show All

  We have a database that is backed up every night (full backup). The database size is around 5GB and the transaciton log is about 3GB. And it's 3GB after the backup too.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VertexBuffer.SetData cost

  Which is faster -Add vertices a few at a time to an array, then call VertexBuffer.SetData for all of them at once -Call VertexBuffer.SetData on a few vertices several times The array can be statically allocated, but the data is only relevant for one frame, so there's no benefit to keeping it around.
