• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Professional Product key

  My MSDN subscription lapsed in March last year. I have MSDN CDs for Visual Studio 2005 Professional and now I want to install it. Although I can still log in to the MSDN subscribers' area, I don't seem to be able to view product keys anywhere. I accept that this may be because my subscription has lapsed. The only product key in the printed documentation is for VS .NET (i.e. 2005 not specified). Is the product key the same for all versions - i.e. can I use this key to activate Visual Studio 2005 Professional Thanks in advance. Your license to use Visual Studio 2005 from the MSDN Subscriber downloads expires with your MSDN Subscription and you can't use the key for VS.NET 2003 to install Visual S ...Show All

• .NET Development OleDbCommand.Update method bug - parameter values overlap

  Here's a weird one I haven't been able to figure out. I have a DataSet with several new rows that I need to insert into my Access database. I have a query in access called 'insNewUser' that takes a single parameter -- 'UserName'. My DataAdapter fills the DataSet with no problem. If I add a single new row to the DataSet and then call my DataAdapter's Update() command, the row gets added without a problem. If, however, I add 2 new rows to the DataSet and call the Update() command, the first row gets inserted properly, but the second row contains "left-over" text from the first row! For example, if I added two new rows with the values: 1) "UsuallyPrettyKnowledgeable" 2) "Stumped" my DataAdapter would ins ...Show All

• Visual C# Storing Font data for use on other PC

  Hi all In my application special user fonts are used and have to be stored in a document. Later this document is printed on another PC, where those fonts are not installed. So I have to serialize not only the font description, but also the font data. How can this be done I tried it with the FontFamily object, but this class is not serializable. Reiner Obrecht Fonts in Windows are stored as TTF or FON files. You need to install these on the target machine. You can then serialize out the font data (family, italic, size, etc) and use it on the target machine. To distribute the font you can attach the font file as a resource in your assembly or add the file to your distribution program. Michael Taylor - 11/30/06 ...Show All

• SQL Server MSSQL 2005 client application running slow on local PCs but not terminal server

  Hi, I am the IT support officer for an office who have recently installed MSSQL 2005 and the application that uses it. However, they have found that when there are more than around 6 users (intotal there are 21) accessing the client system the queries run slowly, 30secs as opposed to 2secs. They have also notified me that when this is occuring and they run the client application from a terminal server, the application on the terminal server run the action at normal speed (2 secs) . The people who installed the client application say that it is a networking issue, but i tested this as the terminal server and some of the PCs share the same switch and the PCs still run slowly. The actual network access appears to be fine, file browsing etc ...Show All

  We have a set of user Controls that must derive from an abstract base class BaseControl. BaseControl itself is derived from UserControl.

• .NET Development Inner join selects and returned results with a datareader

  Hi, I'm writing my application in C# and it sends and retrieves masses of data from many SQL server databases (using one as a master database). As the databases all vary in shapes and sizes, I have to make the C# program create all my columns and populate the database by sending commands to SQL server. I have an INNER JOIN statement I am executing to return some rows of data from the same table which looks a little like this (self joins I think you call this): SELECT F1.*, F2.* FROM MyDataBase INNER JOIN MyDataBase F2 ON F1.LineIndex < F2.LineIndex AND ...etc...etc... rest of my select statement Now, because I am returning two selections, labelled with F1 and F2, I have to be able to read the columns of data returned in my D ...Show All

How do I set this privilege Regards Pankaj Hi, if you cannot follow the SSPI alternative, suggested by pintu you can add the privilege from Start->Administrative Templates->Local Security Policy : Local Policies->User Rights Assignment : Open "Act as part of the operating system" and add the account that needs this privilege. But be aware that processes running in that account now have powerfull rights on that machine. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions call event

  Does anyone know how to raise an event when the enter key is pressed. you should do this: if (e.KeyChar == Keys.Return) {                 //Do Something } on a KeyDown event. It's better to do this on a keydown event than a keypress event simply because there is no need to do a char cast as well as making it slightly easier and making it a bit more logical sense :-) ...Show All
