• Visual C++ Upgrade to VS2005 gives problem with atlcom.h

  Hi all, I have been assigned a task to upgrade a solution to VS2005.The solution is originally written in VS2003 and Compile with 0 error and 0 warning in VS2003.

• SQL Server Tran Log Backups Fail 40 minutes after the Differential backup.

  Running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Database is in Full Recovery mode. I have full backups scheduled weekly, differentails scheduled daily and tran log ackups scheduled for every 15 minutes. The tran log backups only work for the first 40 minutes or so after the daily backup. Once the daily has occured, the tran backups will work again, but for only 40 minutes. I run consistency checks on the db daily and there are no errors. The error returned from the tran log backup is 'BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup' Any thoughts would be appreciated. It looks like you have some scheduled job which includes either BACKUP LOG WITH NO_LOG or ...Show All

• SQL Server Display Last 2 Comments to a Record

  Ok, I'll try to explain this as best as I can... I have an Invoice Record in one table (Invoices) and in another table (Comments) I have multiple comments to an Invoice. I'm looking for a statement that will output the last 2 comments per Invoice Record. Example: The Comments table has multiple ID #'s corresponding to the ID # in the Invoices table. Invoice ID # 1 has 4 Comments; Invoice ID #2 has 3 Comments; ID# 3 has 2 comments. The output would be 6 records with 2 comments for each ID #1, 2, and 3. Something like this should work for you, Scotty. You may be able to tweak it a bit but hopefully this will get you a start. select InvoiceID , Comment , Date from Comments C1 ...Show All

• SQL Server error 18456 when trying to connect to 2005 using odbc

  Hi all I am using Windows XP SP2 with a Sql server 2005 Express installation. I created a test db with a user called test, schema also test. I gave the permission connect, db_datareader and db_datawriter. I can now connect into this user using WinSQL. But if I want to connect using a application which is using ODBC, then I get the error: [SQLSTATE=28000 - [Microsoft][SQL Native][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'test'.[Native Error=18456]] Because I connect using ODBC, I think there must be the problem. But I have to connect with ODBC. There is no other possibility. any ideas Regards, Waff I found this out: The server collation is defined to: Latin1_General_CI_AS If I create a new login id in lowercase, then ODBC w ...Show All

• Windows Forms General paths problem

  Hi there, I'm fairly new to winforms dev and I'm stuck on something I'm sure someone can help me with: I am using a 3rd party spellchecker control which requires an external dictionary file. The problem is that simply supplying the bare filename (without any form of path) works until the application's working directory changes. For example, if somewhere in my program the user invokes an OpenFileDialog and selects a file, the app's working directory is set to wherever the file was located (e.g. the Desktop). After this, the spellchecker pukes because it can't find the dictionary file in the Desktop. I could set an absolute dictionary path each time the spellchecker object is created but this seems like a bit of a fudge as it's used in ...Show All

• .NET Development String and numbers

  Hi there. I would like to khow how can I use only numbers from the following string: T 30 35. From this string I want to use the two numbers as x = 30 and y = 35. T may be a dummy variable. I would appreciate if you could send me an example code. Thank you in advance. NM This is a BCL question I'd do this: public static List<int> ParseNumbers(string s) { string[] fields = s.Split(' '); List<int> results = new List<int>(); foreach (string field in fields) { int value = 0; if (int.TryParse(field, value)) results.Add(value); } return results; } This code assumes that the fields in the string are separated by spaces and that "T" is not a number. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions brace (bracket) matching

  I have both Visual C++ and C# Express Editions installed on my PC. When editing C# programs, brace matching works. i.e. when I highlight a brace in C# it's companion is highlighted. For some reason this does not work in C++ even though I think I have it enabled in the Tools - Options - Text Editor General - Automatic delimiter hightlighting. Am I missing something Thanks!! I notice that there is a box on the VC++ 2005 Express Edition Tools | Options | Text Editor | General pane for obtaining delimiter highlighting. (It doesn't appear to do anything on my version either.) In addition, on the Text Editor | C/C++ | Formatting pane there is control of Outlining which does appear to work (and may interfere ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) June CTP big problems with GridViewColumn controls

  I'm having a big, big problem with new behavior that was introduced in the June CTP. The problem has to do with the automatic sizing of controls that are placed in GridViewColumns. I have working code (at least working prior to the June CTP) that uses a FrameworkElementFactory and DataTemplate that is added to the CellTemplate property of a GridViewColumn. This allows me to change the control used within a column. I have a number of custom controls that rely on the control being resized when the column is resized. The problem is that controls added in this way are no longer resized to the full available column size. To illustrate this problem, I modified the code for the standard "ListView that uses a GridView Sample" . I modif ...Show All
