• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 can't be added Active Directory, but the documentation says it can.

  Hi, I've installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard Edition. Before I install SQL Server 2005, I've configured Windows to be an domain controller with Active Directory. As the documentation said that using Object Explorer and then selecting Properties, I have the property page of Server Properties. But I still can't find the Active Directory page. When I try to run the system stored procedure sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP, I can't either register or update. Is this an error or bug Using SQL Server 2000, I can easily add it to Active Directory. Now I can't do it in 2005 version. Please help! Eriawan Please answer my questions... I still can't register Sql Server 2005 to my Active Dir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how to make it user friendly?

  Hello! I am quite new to VB and therefore my question might be a bit stupid but: I programmed a database (using sql server express) where I can perform sql queries using user given values. This works fine until the user inputs wrong values (wrong datatypes)- then the programm crashes. Using the online help and other tutorial I could not find out how to overcome this problem. Maybe you can help! Here is what I have programmed so far: Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim a, b, c, d As String a = column_cb.Text b = value_tb.Text c = operator_cb.Text d = ( "Select * FROM stand_info WHERE " & a & &q ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Coordinate system and matrix inconsitencies

  I still don't understand the intent of not using DirectX's left handed coordinate system. I thought it made sence at first, since OpenGL uses a right handed coordinate system.It would open up for easier porting of OpenGL code and interop integration with OpenGL libraries. Now I would prefer to have things the same way as DirectX so that I can easily use libraries and code from DirectX, but that's me. I can still say that all is good and a right handed system is just fine. But then I notice that matrices in XNA use row major representation, just like DirectX and not like OpenGL's column major matrices. Now it is only a matter of the order you multiply your matrices in and it really doesn't matter which one you use as long as you know whi ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to change default font of PorpertySheet and its PropPages ?

  Hello, I changed the default font of ProprtyPage resource dialogs to "Tahoma" font (in ResourceView of MS Visual C++ 6.0) . But when I create a PropertySheet it changes fonts of all the pages back to default font "MS Shell Dlg". Could you please help me to solve this problem How can I change the default font of PropertySheet and its Pages to "Tahoma" font Thanks in advance, Mark. It seems MFC always applies a predefined font for all of property pages. In my opinion it is difficult to alter this behaviour. As a possible short solution, you can try changing of the font of all of controls using SetFont function in OnInitDialog handler of your pages: ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums SEO Specifically for Live

  A friend of mine that has a business ran into some interesting challenges that I wanted to chat about to see if anyone can give me any feedback. It is regarding how his site ranks in the " Live " search engine. His site went offline back in about June and was recently reinstated in November. His rankings seem to have rebounded in all the search engines but he has noticed that he does not come up anywhere within the first 10 or so pages after the switch over to Live and since his site went down and came back up. He has a search engine submission service that was active during that timeframe and I believe that when the search engines sent their programs back to look at the site and found nothing there, the site was d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Retrieving attached template in a Word Template project

  Hi, I have a created a VSTO Word Template Project using a template "WordTemplate.dot". I will be creating several (9-12) .dot templates which will have very similar functionality so I have decided to use a single code-behind assembly and attach it to each .dot template at deploy time (by adding customization via ServerDocument) rather than creating a separate VSTO Word Template project for each template. However, in my code-behind I need to determine what the currently attached template is so that I can display the appropriate form. I have tried using the this.AttachedTemplate property but it returns a Template object for "Normal.dot" rather than for "WordTemplate.dot". I have also tried iterating through the ...Show All

• SQL Server I am having a problem with percision which appears to be a documented bug is there a work around of solution in sqlserver 2005

  I have been working on an application which require as much percision as we can get. We have defined all numeric values as (38,16) however when ever we divide a number by the result of a built in function it truncate the percision to 5 decimal place this cause us to have a small but enoying loss in the numbers being caculated we need a minimuim of 8 decimal places or better is there a work around or solution for this problem in sql server 2005. The more percision the better.   example: select tna/(select sum(tna) from taum) from taum where fund_id = 2345   the result is always 5 decimal places even though fund_id tna = 2569698.23 and sum(tna) =98745612325879.36 which should equal .00000002602341683313994 instead ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I set delay between code?

  Hello all. I would like to enquire how I can set a delay in between chunks of code. For example, after some code which interacts with a server, I am supposed to get a corresponding information from the server before it is appropriate to proceed on to the next part of the code. As the server response is not immediate, therefore an arbitrary delay is needed. What is the proper code format that I need to add  I can't seem to find the documentation in the help file. Thanks in advance. The easiest way is often to simply do a sleep: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ...Show All
