• SQL Server locked out of sql server management studio

  Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me here! A friend of mine set up a Windows 2003 Server for me in my home with Sql Server 2005. I'm developing a website for prospective employers to see the kinds of things I can program since I have no field-related work experience. I have a cool site up, but I can't showcase the any features that use sql server (which obviously, are the kinds of things employers want to see) because the login and password my friend remembers produces this error: Cannot connect to server. Additional information: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to sql server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings sql server doesn't ...Show All

• .NET Development WebClient.DownloadFile - random 500 byte download problem - pls help

  I have been suffering from a random problem that I cannot pin down.  Quite simply I am trying to download a file using a very simple application.  The problem is that sometimes the full file is downloaded and other times only the first 500bytes.  This occurs with different files of different types. I have used an HTTP sniffer program and the full file is included in the http response! The file is using a "web folders" uri and therefore uses FileWebRequest/Response and not HttpWebRequest/Response. The original code is: webClient.DownloadFile(filePath, "C:\somefile.doc") This was revised to the following so I could get a byte count: Dim request As FileWebRequest = FileWebRequest.CreateDefault(New Uri(filePath)) ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Set folder security permissions during installation

  This note from the Microsoft site mentioned below, suggests that application specific data should be placed in the location provided by the KnownFolder API (passing parameter :CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA). CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA This folder should be used for application data that is not user specific. For example, an application may store a spell check dictionary, a database of clip-art or a log file in the CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA folder. This information will not roam and is available to anyone using the computer. By default, this location is read-only for normal (non-admin, non-power) Users. If an application requires normal Users to have write access to an application specific subdirectory of CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, then the application must explic ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlConvert.ToBinHexString is internal ??

  Hi, So it's easy( ) I think to write this function myself. But I figured the BCL must already have done it. And it appeared they had: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlconvert.tobinhexstring.aspx But both the C# compiler and Reflector seem to agree; error CS0117: 'System.Xml.XmlConvert' does not contain a definition for 'ToBinHexString' Reflector shows this as: internal static string ToBinHexString ( byte [] inArray) { return BinHexEncoder . Encode ( inArray , 0 , inArray . Length ); } This is with .NET 2.0. Haven't investigated 1.0/1,1 yet. Wierder yet, analysis in Reflector seems to indicate that this internal method is used by XmlCustomFormatter.FromByteArrayHex which in turn is used by XmlSerili ...Show All
