• .NET Development problem with CLR dll, but only in debuger

  I am making a CLR dll in C++, and testing its consumption in C#. For the sake of this thread, the CLR dll will be called ' MyCLRdll ' and the test propgram will be called ' MyTest ' I know the problem relates to the progress bar parts of the dll and test and cross threading What I don't know is why this problem ONLY happens in the C# debugger, or how to fix it. When I go into the Debug folder and double click MyTest.exe every thing works perfectly; its just when I hit the play button in VCS Express that the problems happen. The thing is MyCLRdll pretty much has to work in the IDE too because it is a devolpment tool thank you, but is this code for the dll or the test program If it is f ...Show All

• SQL Server problems displaying images

• SQL Server Error: 18456 Severity: 14, State: 11

  I have a SQL 2005 SP1 test server running Developer Edition on top of Windows Server 2003 SP1. We're testing out a 3rd party application that is using Windows Authentication to connect to SQL 2005. The SQL Error Log is saturated with the error message listed in the subject line. The text accompanying the message alternates between "Login failed for user 'MYDOMAIN\TESTDA1$'. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]" and "Login failed for user 'MYDOMAIN\TESTDA1$'. [CLIENT: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]". There are two strange parts to this: 1) The application appears to be working fine on the surface, and, 2) The MYDOMAIN\TESTDA1$ account mentioned in the error text is not the user account that we are using to connect the application to SQL 20 ...Show All

• SQL Server BatchUpdateException

  Hi, Im having a problem with the SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.1, when it throws a BatchUpdateException it is not setting the vendor-specific error code!

Can anyone explain Hi David, The driver version is 1.1.1501.101 Thanks again, Cathal ...Show All

• SQL Server Server: the operation has been cancelled. a memory bug?

  When I highlight a few partitions and start processing, the process occasionally stops with a message that operation has been canceled, like this: Response 3 Server: the operation has been cancelled. Response 4 Server: the operation has been cancelled. Response 5 Server: the operation has been cancelled. ..etc... (no further error message details are provided) SQL profiler shows that batch was completed (but rowcount shown in process progress log is too small). Analysis Services profiler shows no messages at that time at all. It just shows messages when it started, and when I restarted the processing. The Analysis trace appears to be stopped when processing stops with " Server: the operation has been cancelled.&quo ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Reporting Services Add-on Server defaults fails

  I had SQL Reporting Services running successfully on my test server along with SharePoint 2007 and updated this to SQL SP2 and checked everything still ran OK. I installed the SharePoint Reporting Service Add-on and then created a new Integrated database. I configured the integration service in SharePoint and granted database access through the new admin pages, but when I click on the link to "Set server defaults", I get the following message: The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable. It suggests that the Report Server is not running or that I have configured Integration mode. This could be the wrong forum for this but is crosses the boundaries between SharePoint and SQL and the error seems to be f ...Show All
