• SQL Server Table Column Default

  Hello all, I have a table with a column: ThruDate datetime not null I have a function call set up as default for the col ([dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]()) I have a stored procedure that inserts into the table - it expects @ThruDate as a parm. I default the parm to NULL - When the sp executes its insert stmt i get error 515 (null cannot be inserted....). When i just enter the row manually in enterprise manger (and just tab through the ThruDate col) all is well - ThruDate gets the default as calculated by function [dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]() Why does the sp fail - i.e. why isn't the default applied thanks Thanks Waaz, I was hoping to have the default do all the work, while being able to supply an insert proced ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies LDAP Membership Provider with SSL

    Hi, dear MOSS community, We are trying to implement user authentication against Active Directory via LDAP. We have successfully configured the LDAPMembershipProvider WITHOUT SSL for the authentication. But if we try to do the authentication via LDAPS by changing the the attribute "useSSL" from false to true, and the port from the stardard "389" to "636", user cannot log in with their credentials anymore.

• Visual Studio Creating a Crystal Report with VB.NET and SQL Server Express 2005

  Hi there, I haven't received any replies to a question I posted, so I'll try a different approach. Can anyone point me to any resources (tutorial, walkthrough, articles) on creating a report in Crystal Reports, using VB.NET 2005 and  SQL Server Express 2005. Specifically how to set up a connection to SQL that can change. The structure/data in the SQL views/tables won't change, but the string used to connect to SQL will. I test on my laptop. When I hook up to the network, I need to switch my connection to the network SQL Server. Thanks in advance!

• Visual Studio Team System Howto choose between multiple build machines

  Can I setup a team build type to choose between multiple build machines Unfortunetly the wizard creates a template with a fixed name in the <BuildMachine> tag. Can I enumerate a list of machines or pass a parameter to the build process, like <BuildMachine>$(Param1)<BuildMachine> The latter would be a great feature to customize the build type further, e.g. specify a label to checkout etc. Thanks Volker The build machine is already one of the parameters that can be overridden at build start time - in the GUI (via the Build machine combo box) or at the command line (via the /m[achine] option). -Aaron ...Show All

• .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 Hey man thanks for all your help, but I just solved the problem, I decided ...Show All

Unfortunately we're getting unexpected exceptions for calls that work fine w/ jtds that our blocking our ability to perform these evaluations without us making substantial changes to our codebase.
