• SQL Server Update Datetime

  Question How can one update a DateTime field when the change request may alter any of the attributes of the time (Day | hour | hour & minute). WHY Of course the whole point of a timestamp is to stamp the time of the record. The problem comes in when the user wants to tweak that timestamp. I am not interested changing anything about the time at the seconds point. The user will only change major time factors. Platform .Net 1x C# SQL Server 2000 Eventually this will be in a Stored Procedure. advTHANKSance Just string concatenate the pieces of the date back together and pass it on to the stored proc as a datetime by Convert.ToDateTime(stringvalue). I assume there are textboxes for each piece of the datetime in the UI (e.g ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions "Name 'X509Certificate2UI' is not declared" error

  I'm trying to work with a sample of code from MSDN. One of the lines from the code is: Dim collection As X509Certificate2Collection = X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection(fcollection, "Select an X509 Certificate" , "Choose a certificate to examine." , X509SelectionFlag.SingleSelection) VBEE is complaining about X509Certificate2UI and X509SelectionFlag.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MSWord addin is not getting remove during uninstallation

  Problem Our MSWord Add-In adds a menu to MS-Word. On Un-installing, the menu doesnt get removed properly, and the Menu Options we added Persist. What's the proper way to remove the added menu-options during uninstallation Word add-ins by Adobe and others get added and removed properly--- and our add-ins for MS-PowerPoint also behave properly. Issue: When adding menu items to the Office apps, they are marked as temporary. In addition, on unload, the add-in attempts to delete the menu items it added.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with ManagementClass API, probably linked with Media Center update

  Hi, We have designed an HTML application for the Media Center (2005 edition) : an applet is downloaded from a web server located on another PC. In order to check that the applet has been downloaded from the local network we have implemented a .Net security policy giving fulltrust to assemblies coming from the same subnetwork. The corresponding condition is called LanMembershipCondition (see below). At first the ManagementClass APIs was used in that membership condition in order to get the collection of network adapters so that the Subnet mask was dynamically retrieved (1). And it worked fine ! But one day it stopped working, because of an update of our Media Center : the application could not l ...Show All

• Visual C# Switch Statement vs. If-else if-else

  Hi Guys! Will I get better performance if I use a switch statement instead of If, else if and else statements ~Matt ahmedilyas wrote: the case statement will be faster than an if else statement. That turns out not always to be the case (if you'll pardon the pun). First, lets be clear that there are many uncertainties to be considered - the IL generated from the statement(s) in question, the native opcodes the IL is translated into, the capabilities of the hardware those opcodes are executing upon and so forth. Even when we know the answer to some of these questions today, our assumptions might be invalidated by future changes in technologies such as branch prediction, instruction pipe ...Show All

• SQL Server How to use TSQL to monitor replication status

  To monitor the status of replication in SQL 2000 we insert the resuts of sp_MShelp_replication_status into a temp table and review the status. In SQL 2005 this stored procedure has changed and now does it's own insert into execute command. Since insert execute commands can not be nested we must find another way to programically monitor replication using TSQL. We could call s ys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisherhelper but we can't seem to find it in the distribution database. It must be hidden somehow. Any ideas Thanks, Danny Thanks. I'll look at using openrowset. sys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisher checks for access and database name. The it calls sys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisherhelper as shown below. This system stored procedure or ex ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Where is the definitive post-beta ASP.NET Workflow Sample or Walk-through?

  Hi All, Since the release of .NET 3.0 I have not been able to find an ASP.NET Workflow sample that was not actually written for one of the betas.  Many of the examples out there that come up in the search engines have implementations that seem inconsistent with the final release of WF. The SDK does not include anything close to a complete ASP.NET workflow sample. The free Microsoft Learning module did not cover it anywhere near complete. So, what I am looking for is a clean, complete, post-beta example of how to use workflow in an ASP.NET application, not a web service, just a plain old ASP.NET workflow example.  Any links to a good post-beta sample or walk-through Th ...Show All
