• Visual Studio Team System How do I go about purchasing Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Database Professionals

  I have scoured the Microsoft and MSDN websites and for the life of me cannot find out how to purchase just Datadude. I am trying to get version with an MSDN subscription. Would someone point me to the exact product I need to purchase. I don't need the entire Team Suite. Thanks. --sean Hi Sean, This version has only been available for a bit over a month now. It would seem MS hasn't gotten around to listing it on their site yet (amazing isn't it ). Some indepentent resellers / distributors however DO. (mine does) I would contact your reseller / distributor, if necessary by phone. They will be able to help you. Alternatively call MS Sales. HTH Alle ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I insert my program to the msconfig startup list?

  Hi, I want that the user will run my program ones and then the program will run automatically when the user is turn on the computer.   How can I force that my program will start before other program that in the list(when the computer start)   If I can run my program automatically only 1 restart Best Regards, Yaniv Pinhas   You can add a program shortcut to the startup folder: this will cause it to start when the computer starts and someone logs in. Or, you can add it to the registry: the Run and RunOnce registry keys are of interest (you will see the paths in the msconfig for existing items). Almost always you wil perform this task with an installer ...Show All

• .NET Development How do i update table with ID's from user input?

  I want to be able to input what rows (ID's) that should be updated in an UPDATE query. How would you create a UI for this task, and how should i build the query string My previous solution was this: - I created a bunch of textboxes (approx 20), cause i usually did not need to update more than 20 rows. - For each row i needed to update, i filled in the ID in a textbox. Usually, there would be some empty textboxes left. - When clicking a "Update" button I ran a hardcoded a query, that took the values from the textboxes as arguments in the WHERE clause. Example (simplified) "Update Orders SET Status = 'Shipped' WHERE ID IN( "; + txtbox1 + txtbox2 + txtbox3 and so on. Of course, i controlled the data first, and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Size file change when I add file to VSS2005

  Hi, I have a PHP file which have size 5028 bytes. When I add file to VSS2005, the file size was changed to 5062 bytes in VSS. However, if I change file extention to .exe and the add to VSS, the files size are the same. Another case, if I add this file to VSS and change File Type Option in AddFile Dialog to Binary, the files size are difference. Help me! MA. In addition to what Patrick said -- If you want PHP files to always be stored exactly, add *.php to the binary mask in Tools -> Options -> File Types. This way the sizes will always be the same. The downside is that diffs will be more cumbersome. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Camera woes

  Hi all. I'm having trouble with my camera class. All is well (walking, elevating, strafing) until I pitch up a bit and start yawing. What happens is, as I'm yawing, the camera seems to be rolling in the direction of the yaw on its own. This only happens when I have my camera type set to FPS, where I'm trying to limit to yawing on the world Y axis. The FREE type works as intended and yaws on it's own local Y (Up) axis. Any ideas Before: http://img435.imageshack.us/img435/2787/ss1ja1.jpg After pitching about 35 degrees up and then yawing to the left several times around: http://img282.imageshack.us/img282/4946/ss2aq7.jpg I pasted my Yaw, Pitch, and BuildView methods below.

• SQL Server Sorting Data in a Table

  After you start adding data to a table can you resort it so when you open the table it is in ascending order Thanks No; the only way you can guarantee that you'll get your data back in a specific order is if you use an ORDER BY clause in your SELECT statement.   -- Adam Machanic Pro SQL Server 2005, available now http://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html bID=457 --     < RayClark096@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:37d8d2a5-d53f-42e6-9ae7-7591b5f06514@discussions.microsoft.com ...

• Visual Studio Express Editions GetPortNames problem

  I have been trying to use the GetPortNames function to work in my C# project (I am a total newbie to C# and OOP) by copying code from an existing simple terminal program. However, no matter wherre I place the code, I get an error message: "Static member 'System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames()' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead" I have a serial port instance I've dragged onto my form, called serialPort1. The code to get the port names is: private void get_port_names() { string[] ports = serialPort1.GetPortNames(); comboCOM1.Items.Clear(); foreach (string s in ports) comboCOM1.Items.Add(s); } This should generate a string array, and put the port nam ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot Connect to an MS SQL Server

  Hi, I've developed an application that connects to an MS SQL server to read and write from a database. I have tested the program on about 6 computers (all on different networks and internet connections, etc...) and they can all access the database remotely just fine. However, today I tried it on another PC (i.e. the 7th computer) and for some reason it won't connect. This computer is definitely on the internet as I can surf the web with it just fine, but every time I try to run the program it comes up and says that it cannot connect to the database. I can't remember the exact error message, but it was behaving as if the computer wasn't on the internet. What might cause a problem like this I did notice that this PC is running Norto ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove duplicates within pipeline

  I have a situation where we get XML files sent daily that need uploading into SQL Server tables, but the source system producing these files sometimes generates duplicate records in the file. The tricky part is, that the record isn't entirely duplicated. What I mean, is that if I look for duplicates by grouping the key columns, having count(*) > 1, I find which ones are duplicates, but when I inspect the data on these duplicates, the other details in the remaining columns may differ. So our rule is: pick the first record, toss the rest of the duplicates. Because we don't sort on any columns during the import, the first record kept of the duplicates is arbitrary. Again, we can't tell at this point which of the duplicated records is mo ...Show All
