• SQL Server Managing Scheduled Jobs from Management Studio Express

  I'm working on a backup solution for my company. Right now we have three servers in three locations running SQL Server 2000. For testing purposes, I created a scheduled job on one of these servers. It worked fine but I'd like to tweak the job some, tinker with the timing and save locations. I'm using Management Studio Express on my laptop to remotely work with these databases but I can't seem to find a decent way to work with existing jobs. Am I missing something or does SSMSE lack the "manage jobs" functionality SSMSE only exposes functionality that is available in SQL Express.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it possible to localize a WPF dll (Custom Control Library)?

  Hi All, I have been trying to translate an application to a foreign language. App = XAML GUI, C# code and resx stringtables. If the app is an executable, I can translate and see the app in foreign language. All OK (even though it's a very lenghty process). If the app is a dll, I can translate and everything is fine including the generation of a merged satellite assembly. BUT it will always default to English. I cannot make my dll to display in a foreign language. Never. And I am surely setting the UICulture as necessary. Has anyone succeeded in localizing a WPF dll Anyone Regards, Ari ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Ideas for Desktop Wallpaper using JPEG, TIF, HTML, Etc., vs BMP?

Now that report listeners (VFP-9) create TIF files from reports I wonder if peradventure it might be easier to automate Desktop Wallpaper from such reports.

• .NET Development How to Catch Invalid UserID/Password on Client (WSE 3.0) ?

  I have a Web service and a windows client that calls the service. I am using WSE3, x509 to encrypt with a custom UserNameToken. I am trying to figure out how to specifically catch a wrong UserID/Pwd so I can display a friendly message.
