• Visual Studio Team System Buggy Upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2005

  I just wanted to import the data from our test database which is SQL 2005 in our SQL 2000 project. The wizard warned me, telling tat the project has to be upgraded first. So I did that, imported the database to the project and tada, nrealy nothing worked. Objects were created in the Schema view, but after clicking or doubleclicking on the foreign keys, they did not appear in the SQL editor. The files were not present in the appopiate folders. I guess there is some outstanding work to. HTH, jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- OK, no problem. I had the Project created in a team system project. At the beginning I created a SQL Server 2000 project. Then I wanted to import the data from a SQL Se ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove old SQL 2005 Backup files

  I am trying to configure a maintenance plan in SQL 2005 to do a full backup every day and to do log file backups every hour. What I want to do is to keep 3 days worth of full backups and 24 hours of log backups and remove all the backups older that this from the server so that I do not use all of my disk space. I will then backup these files to tape so that I have a good backup history. In SQL 2000 there was a simple option to remove backup files older than a given time frame. Is there an option to do this in 2005 If not can you suggest a way that I can do this. Hi there, I am using SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1. Do you have SP1 installed on your server I would think ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing artifacts when deploying on the Xbox360

  I've done the Going Beyond tutorial shown in the videos posted on the XNA team blog, and I noticed I was getting weird artifacts on the spaceship model. I went ahead and did another tutorial, this time using a 2D sprite, and there were also artifacts on the sprite. The artifact looks like one or more jagged transparent spikes, jutting out from the sides of the model or sprite. They're kinda hard to see, as they are transparent, but they are there. They seem to "roll along," as you move the model or sprite. That's the best way I can put it...they're not static, but seem to pop in and out of view. Also they seem more inclined to show up to the right side of the object being on screen (right side from the viewer's point of view). An ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using .NET Framework 1.1

  HI, Is there a way we can use Visual Basic 2005 Express Edtion with the 1.1 .net Version instead of the 2.0 Version I know it is possible to do this with Webmatrix by changing a config file. Thanks ! im afraid I do not think this is possible since VS2005 works with .NET 2.0 (and .NET 3.0). The frameworks contain major changes between them (.NET 1.1 and 2.0) you can either use VS2003 or use notepad and write your entire application and compile it using the .NET 1.1 VB compiler, which maybe located in the .NET Framework directory...do a search for vbc.exe - that is the command line compiler for .NET Framework ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView CalendarColumn example doesn't handle keyboard input

  Hey all- I have a DataGridView in which I wanted to host a DateTimePicker, so I used the example from: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7tas5c80.aspx Has anyone gotten this example working properly for keyboard input It works great when you use the mouse, but under certain circumstances the value from the editing control doesn't get back into the datagridview. To reproduce: Enter the date cell with the mouse Type a new month with the numeric keys only Hit Tab or enter to leave the cell. Now, the above works fine if you leave the editing control with the mouse, or if you use the up/down arrow keys to change the month value. I did some debugging in the editing control, and it appears that if the fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Move to Dec CTP SDK

  Hi All, Currently I'm working with DSL Tool v.1 from September 2006 SDK. I would like to try the Dec CTP. Is there any problem if I just install the new SDK with my DSL project Should I re-install September SDK first I'm in the middle of a project, I'm affraid if something goes wrong then I cannot continue. Can anyone give me suggestions about this TIA. Regards, Herru, I haven't tried this myself but from what I understand from this post from Gareth I think the "mirgration" shouldn't be to hard. It will probably "just work". Of course you have to decide for yourself if you are willing to take the risk! I do think you have to uninstall before you can install this CTP. Good luck and let us know about your experien ...Show All

• SQL Server NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM in sql2k??

  Hi everyone, Primary platform is NT and Sql2k, but I wonder for 2005 too. We've got a huge number or Sql Server around of our network. I 'm seeing on some of them, NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as user granted with System Admin role. I ask you, it does make sense and why Thanks for your help, There might be applications with IIS use this sort of permissions. If you are new to this company then I would suggest to run through your manager and explain this security issue. If there is a historic reason for this for a legacy application then you need to make sure to run that application as a service account with appropriate permission.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Command line build using VCBuild

  Hi. I have a few questions/comments about command line build with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. 1. I have noticed that there is no 'devenv' in the Express edition (I got used to it in the VS .NET 2003 version). The IDE executable is 'vcexpress', but it seems it has no command line build capabilities. I assume command line builds are to be done using 'vcbuild'. Am I right 2. Running 'vcexpress / ' brings me a confused explanation which is a mix up of 'vcexpress' and 'devenv' which does not exist in the Express edition. This is clearly a defected help message. 3. If I want to use 'vcbuild' for building Win32 applications (after installing the Platform SDK), I also have to change the PATH/INCLUDE/LIB directories in the %VS80COMN ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Export Games

  Is there any way that I can export the game that I have made in XNA as an exe, so that someone is able to play them on a computer without visual C# Well, they'll need to have previously installed the XNA runtime drivers, the .NET Framework 2.0 runtime drivers, not to mention DirectX 9c drivers. That's more than 25 megabytes of software. If you're posting your game online, your best bet is to tell people where they can download those things easily. ...Show All
