SQL Server what type of isolation level should i use?
lets say user1 is reading row1, then user2 reads and updates row1, when user1 is about to update row1 i want him to be informed that his copy of row1 have been updated, so he has now the options to either get the new version of row1 or cancel his update process or continue his update by the way, im using typed dataset on my data access layer. thanks.. Hi, this is not a problem of isolation level, this is more a concurrency checker problem. Depending on the implementation of your data access layer you will have to check whether the row was updated in between reading and updating. In addition to that you will also have to consider your transaction strategy for informing the us ...Show All

Visual Studio How do I KeepTogether rows from one record?
I have a report table that spans many pages, each database record is presented on several rows. How do I "Keep Together" the rows of a record The "KeepTogether" attribute of the table seems to relate to the whole table rather than the rows that make up a record. Any ideas anyone Thanks John Greg, No luck. I used this "silly" work-around: Each of my records had 5 rows so I adjusted the size of the rows to get 25 rows / page => 5 records / page. I didn't find another way. Hope this help Turg ...Show All

Windows Forms paint above other controls
Hi, I want to draw something on my form. However what I draw in "OnPaint" appears below other controls in my form. What should I do to draw above other controls in the form True, transparency in .NET is not fully implemented. You can try this link. It basically a program that allows you to overlay drawings on any window. You probably gonna have to implement something like it, a tranparent form overlaying your actual form. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet11122002.asp ...Show All
SQL Server Casting...
I've got an ftp task that will be downloading a couple of files each night. today they're called blah20060830blah the date value in the middle changes each day. I'm trying to adjust this value with an expression. The expression doesn't want to cast my getdate function into a string that this property will accept. I know i'm missing something stupid. Thank you Sorry the expression (DT_STR) GETDATE() generates this: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_STR) GETDATE()" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed, or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.

.NET Development Testing and profiling asp.net applications
Please can someone direct me to a site where i can purchase applications which could be use to test all testables for asp.net applications for performance, scability, etc especially with relevance to MS SQLServer. Thanks From past experience in the field most of the customers I worked with used LoadRunner. It is a very extensive load testing tool, very good from my limited experience with it. Not sure of the cost. Of course since I work for Microsoft I cannot recommend one vendor's product over another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoadRunner I just know that lots of customers I dealt with in the past used it and liked it, this is all I can say. ...Show All

SQL Server ODB Datareader time columns - updated 26th June

The Epex database has a number of time columns which we successfully imported using SQL 2000 DTS by defining these as varchar(5) .
