• SQL Server Import/Export data with SQL Server 2005 Express

  Hello folks! I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Management Studio Express. Everything looks ok and works fine, but I can't find the Data Import/Export Wizard.  Can anyone tell me how to Import/Export data Thank you!!! Michael, Agree with you - what a big disappointment. I'm sure that there are many of us who have data that we would like to bring into a SQL Server Express table and work with - it's natural form being a text or Excel base that comes from a bank or some other source. All the functionality in the world is of little use if the basic data import is not there. Bill Sullivan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions waiting without holding the thread...

  hello how can I wait in VB without using the System.Threading.Thread.Sleep method because all this does is excecute and does not give the lines before and after it time to execute....like i want to turn a button the color red, and then just wait a few seconds. This is not working currently because the sleeping is happening too fast, what can I do plesae advide...shyma You should not use Sleep because it will prevent the UI thread from exiting your method and repainting the button OR allowing the UI to do miscellaneous things (making the program appear as if it is "Not Responding"). A better solution would be a Timer. You can override the Timer class to cause something to happen at certain intervals. Then, after the Time ...Show All

• .NET Development RichTextBox performance issue with large data

  Hi, i've a problem where i need to load a plain text file into a RichTextBox and then color some of the keywords in the text. i do this by selecting the tokens (already parsed) in the text and color it by means of the SelectionStart, SelectionLength and SelectionColor properties. It all works fine as long as the text size is small. However, for large amount of text, it takes very long to complete this operation. i've identified that doing the selection (i.e. setting the SelectionStart and SelectionLength propeties) is the most time consuming operation. what can i do to speed it up is there a way to ask RichTextBox to not update the gui when i update the Selection* propeties until i'm done updating all the text and then update the gui in th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Memory leak caused by StaticResource (DynamicResource solves it)

  Recently I tracked down a memory leak that was caused by using a StaticResource for assigning a BitmapEffect to a custom FrameworkElement used in a ListBox with a custom VirtualizingPanel. Using DynamicResource for the assignment resolved the leak but I'd like to better understand the cause. Here's a live object using StaticResource assignment, this is the reference that caused the leak: DOMAIN(00149518):HANDLE(Strong):a011f8:Root:01382d40(System.Threading.Thread)-> 01386608(System.Object[][])-> 0138661c(System.Object[])-> 01386460(System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher)-> 013a30c8(System.Windows.Input.InputManager)-> 013a3740(System.Windows.Input.StylusLogic)-> 013a3874(System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[Syste ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build over HTTP?

  Coders, I have set up my instance of TFS to be available over HTTP and this pretty much works okay. I was wondering if I could set-up an Team Build server and invoke Team Builds on this machine over HTTP from the main TFS server (as in HTTP across the internet as the two machines are on seperate networks). I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm guessing there may be issues with the credentials specified to execute the build. Can someone clarify Cheers, Callum The background to the issue is as follows: I work for a consultancy and we do varied work for clients, almost always on site. Sometimes we get shackled with infrastructure which isn't really up to scratch. To overcome this proble ...Show All

• SQL Server SP2-specific features of Excel 2007

  You can read in many places that Excel 2007 disables a number of features when it's not connecting to an SSAS 2005 instance that hasn't been upgraded to SP2. However, I couldn't find a list of such features anywhere. My question is: what are the new Excel 2007 features that are available to us now that we have upgraded our SSAS server to SP2 This apparently got disbaled in SP2 " Ability to show/hide calculated members using the checkboxes in the filter drop down menus " Can't think of good reason for this to be disabled, you actually could use more robust capabilities around calculated fields. I can't de-select all the members and only show the Calculated members, now. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO deployment solution not working in IE

  Hi, I have a VSTO 'code behind' solution which is deployed on a server. User who want to open such a Word document, download and access the document via a browser.

• Windows Forms How to speed up datagridview

  Hi, I have a datagridview and i bind it to an arraylist. The arraylist contains about 50 000 of records. When a large number of rows(say 49000) being selected and I try to remove them all at once, it's such a lengthy process almost takes me 20mins. I have been looking for the solution all over the net, but i still couldn't find any. I have read an article on "Using the Selected Cells, Rows, and Columns Collections Efficiently" but it didn't tell me how to determine which rows are selected. So I can't determine which rows need to be removed from the datagridview. Can anyone help me with the problem I think if you try virtual mode will make it performace better. ...Show All

• Visual Basic By minimizing a app and restoring it, the memory usage drops by more than half.

  I ran into a problem with memory usage of my apps on workstations that have limited memory (128meg-512meg).  The app creates simple SQL reports for the office managers.  Iv'e gone to great troble to release any instance or varable not being used and disposing them.  The app still loads at around 30 meg in the taskmgr and increases from there.  30meg in todays term isn't much but there are other app that we don't have control over that are memory hogs.  The one way I found to reduce the memory usage is to minimize the form and restore it.  That takes my 30 meg app to 6,000K. wow a big difference. It keeps all the same functions and runs just as fast at 1/3 the memory usage.  The app still increase the ...Show All
