• SQL Server Creating a table from .NET

  I need to create tables from a C# code. I made a stored procedure hoping that I will pass a table name as a parameter: @tabName. The procedure executed in SqlServer All Right but when I called it from C# code it created not the table I put in as a parameter but table " tabName ." Otherwise everything else was perfect: coumns, etc. Here is my stored procedure. set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateTableTick] @tabName varchar(24) = 0 AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; CREATE TABLE tabName ( bid float NULL, ask float NULL, last float NULL, volume float NULL, dateTimed datetime NULL ) END What went wrong Thank you.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How will the client come to know about the WSE settings used by service at server??

  Hi, We have created a web service and secured it using some policies of WSE 3.0. Now on the client side, we need to apply the same policy to the proxy of service, that is generated. So the question is , how does the client come to know about policy used by the service WSDL / or the proxy class generated does not have any information regarding policy used by service. Any pointers to, how the client would come to know about this . Thanks and Regards, anita. WSE 3.0 does not have support for WS-SecurityPolicy, which means your server has to send your client the policy file out of band. This help topic describes how you can specify security for the client. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions No Common Controls Showing (Ex; Button, or Labels)

  I am taking a programming course this year in school and we were recommended to download Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. We were also recommended to download Visual C#. C# works fine everything is shown that should be shown although in Visual Basic it is a whole other problem. In the toolbox on the left hand side no common controls are shown. For example the button or label items in the toolbox are nowhere to be found. I reset the toolbox and it stays the same as it is already. This is a link to how the toolbox looks. I have uninstalled it twice now and the same problem comes up. Any help on getting these functions in would be greatly appreciated, I need them to do my assignments for school. Now noti ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dataset Update to DataBase VB Studio 2005 Express w/ Sql 2005 Explress

  I've carefully watched the videos many times on how to use the Add Data Sources to bind my database to a form.  That works great.  When I run the app I can see the data I have input from ShowTable view on the form I created.  I can add and change data on my form also.  However, after closing the form and going back to ShowTable I see none of my additions or changes.  I've read all the fourms I could find already that addressed this issue, but I cant seem to find a fix that works in my case. Also, I dont know if it's relavent or not, but while in show table view, I get a big red exclamation point in each cell as I type.  Once I fill out the entire record everthing seems to fuction normally.  Changes ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

  Server Error in '/orion' Application. Which SQL Server version are you using Beside from knowing that, make sure that you adressed the remote server the right way. It should be adressed with the right name / instanceName and (if you are not using the default port) the right port number, e.g ServerName,Portnumber or servername\instanceName,Portnumber If this does not help, write back to the forum which server version you are using.

• SQL Server Logging dynamic SQL variable when EvaluateAsExpression=TRUE

  I am trying to use the idea as mentioned by Jamie at: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/09/2480.aspx which is to build dynamic SQL using a variable evaluated as an expression. Set Expression= "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn = " + @[VariableContainingFilterValue] Everything works fine. The entire package works. My next step is to log the variable so that I know, after package execution, exactly what SQL statement the package is executing. I tried to do it by a couple of ways in a Script task: 1) Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, String .Empty, String .Format( "SQL: {0}" , Dts.Variables( "SourceSQL" ).Expression), String .Empty, 0, False ) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows forms C++ Samples

  hi, I understand that C++ under Visual Studio 2005 finally has a very capable RAD GUI builder, so I don’t have to use VB or C# to get the same results and thus in theory do it all with C++. (btw, congrats on getting an ISO language inline with .NET...a much harder job than with proprietary languages I’m certain). However, I cannot find any C++ samples actually built with the Windows Forms rapid development tools. I did down load the calculator app, but it clearly was not built using the tools, so of little use. Would someone advise me please where these C++ sample applications may be found Thanks very much:) link fixed see also http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/ http://www.c ...Show All

• Visual C# referencing a sqlDataAdapter

  I define an SqlDataAdapter to a sql database.table in one procedure (function) but intend to use it in another. The dataadapter will be used to execute an insert command many times but the detail of the connection string become apparent a few steps prior to the time when the InsertCommand actually works. I was thinking about using the dataAdapter in a function call as a parameter but I cannot do it since one of the functions on the way is a delegate or something. It has no accessible parameters whatsoever. It is a Winsock situation. The code works but I need to improve it to introduce many conveniences. I tried to create a class that stores "an object." So I store my dataAdapter.InserCommand. I thought I would get it and execu ...Show All
