• SQL Server Service Pack update

  Good morning. Is it necessary to run the service pack (I'm upgrading SQL 2K from SP3a to SP4) on the clients, as well To update any connectivity tools, etc. Thanks. Chris Hi, the most update from SP3a to SP4 where just for the server engine. You don’t necessary need to install that, although it won’t break anything. So it’s up to you. I always installed that on my clients to keep the most current service pack. HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Visual Basic The Is Operator and Strings

  Mods: Please move this topic to Visual Basic Language as it fits most there. This is MSDN definition for Is operator: " The Is operator determines if two object references refer to the same object. However, it does not perform value comparisons. If object1 and object2 both refer to the exact same object instance, result is True ; if they do not, result is False." So I expect the followng code snippet to return true and it will: Dim s1 As String , s2 As String s1 = "Omid" s2 = s1 Console.WriteLine(s2 Is s1) But why this one returns true I believe s1 and s2 are different reference variables and point to different memory locations so why the Is operator returns true Dim s1 As String , s2 As St ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 does not embed resources

  Hi! Recently the VS 2005 stopped to embed resources into my WinForms applications which results in System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException being thrown each time such an application starts. This is queer even more for my friend's VS instance embeds resources just fine. I used the Resourcer to examine generated assemblies and found out none have been embeded. I have also examined projects I have implemented some time ago and saw resources are alright - those applications work just fine, but whenever they are rebuilt their resources vanish out. Exception data: "Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "WindowsApplication3.Form1.resources" was correctly embed ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drag and dropping custom UserControl objects into a panel

  Endgoal: making some sort of graphical math equation editor. Starting point: generating fixed sized blue blocks that are constructed at the mouse's location at the end of a drag and drop from a simple button. Everything works great so far. I've put even handlers in the right places, etc. Except for this: http://s93768914.onlinehome.us/pub/blockcsharp.jpg As you can see, there's a region in the top left which is inaccessible to the viewing of my block objects. I have no idea where it comes from, where it could be defined.  Any ideas I figured a workaround, although I don't understand why I need to do it fully. The objects I create at the end of the dropping are my own class of objects, derived from Us ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can i adjust SpotLight-Direction

  Hi I habe been writing a car simulation and i put my SpotLight-Direction at the same point of my LookAt but while the car is rotating, the Loght-Direction does n't rotate. Thanks Without any better information (what API, what features - shaders or FixedFunc, etc..) its difficult to say for definite. Chances are that you're not transforming the vectors and/or coordinates properly. Fixed function lighting is defined in world space and won't be affected by other Model->World transforms.

• SQL Server Transactions - Back to Basics

  Hi all, I am having no end of trouble with transactions in the package which i am building. I now just want to go back to basics and see if someone can tell me where i should set specific transaction options. Firstly, my package runs a for each loop which loops through a directory of directories. In each of the sub directories there are 2 files. The first steps in the loop are to check if a folder has been processed previously, if so then it moves it to a specified directory. The reason that this is done first is that i cannot move the directory whilst it is being read in the foreach loop, so i pass the path to the next iteration of the loop. There is another file system move directory task outwith the foreach loop to deal with the last di ...Show All
