• SQL Server Setting primary key of new row being inserted

  Not sure if this is the right place for this post or not, but I'll give it a try... If I am inserting a record into a table that uses a Primary Key, but not an Identity column, how do I insert the new primary key value I started out with SQL just letting the Identity column increment itself for primary keys, but I cannot do that for this particular situation. If 'AddressID' is the primary key in the 'Address' table, could I do something like this: INSERT INTO Address (AddressID, Field1, Field2, ...) VALUES (**max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1**, 'field1data', 'field2data', ...); If that works, how would I make this part of the insert query: **max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1** I hope this question is clea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Team Collaboration

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cannot run August CTP Samples

  I installed the August CTP, after the LINQ Preview. Everything installs correctly. I opened the solution in VS2005 and built it, everything compiled. I mapped a virtual directory to the installation folder of the webapp sample (on my machine - 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\ADO.NET vNext CTP\Samples\CSharp\WebAppSample') The first time I try to access the sample it takes a long time, then errors out to this : 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 does not allow remote connections.

• SQL Server Questions on translation and naming attribute

  Hello I have a few questions regarding the translations. 1. Is it possible to create this neat auto-generated date dimension in any other languages than english 2. When I use the Currency format string on my autogenerated measure groups they all turn out as $, but when I use it on a calculated member it chooses the correct currency. How can I change this for the auto generated measures 3. After creating the member, how do you define the deafult member show from the dimension. Say for example that I have DimEmpl(Code, Name). I would like the Name attribute to be the attribute showing by default. I know this is possible while creating the dimension, but what if I want to change it later Thanks // Richard ...Show All

• Visual Basic IP Camera HowTo?

  Hello everyone, I've just installed an IP Camera in our network and started to fool around with it. The software supplied by the camera itself is written in Delphi and pretty much doesn't do much. I was wondering if there was a way to connect to this Camera from the network with VB I googled around and didn't find much on connecting to this camera (or any ipcamera that I could understand). All I know is that the camera runs a sort of webserver on port 8888 that when I connect to asks for a username and password, afterwards it forwards me to a page where I can watch a stream of jpeg images (mjpeg) I think. If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction on how I can connect to this device (or similar device) and show the i ...Show All
