• Windows Live Developer Forums Problem with polylines and pushpin draw in 3D mode.

  Dear Caleb and VE team, In VE I draw ( first ) several polylines and then ( second ) draw several pushpins. In 2D mode I have no problem, but on 3D mode, some polylines draw and disappear quickly.

• SQL Server rsProcessingAborted Error!!

  Hello all, I am in a fix here. I run RS2000 on SQLSERVER2000, IIS6. My dev env is VS2003( .net 1.1). About 2 months back I deployed reports to an intranet site. They worked as expected.

• Windows Forms properties set in the designer depend on each other

  We have a control that exposes some public accessors which appear as properties of the control in the designer. Two of these properties have a dependency - if one is set then the other is turned off. What we'd like is for the designer not to generate any code for the property which turns the other property off, but there doesn't seem to be any way of doing that. The designer generates code for properties alphabetically it seems and the one that turns the other off comes last alphabetically. So we see the bug because of an arbitrary alphabetical order between accessors. Any ideas how to fix this in the general case other than write initialization code to correct the designer initialization code, somewhere that's guaranteed to be called afte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What is the equivalent of the ProjectInstaller.cs class?

  I am working on a windows service and I am not sure what the equivalent of the ProjectInstaller.cs class is for the 2.0 framework. Is there any example code out there for creating a windows service using the 2.0 framework. Thanks I don't think the C# Express edition has the Windows Service option - another limitation of the express editions :-) you could create one from scratch using notepad and compiling it using the VC# compiler in the .NET Framework directory in Windows, compiler names csc.exe ...Show All

• SQL Server Windows Firewall Blocking Access to Remote SSAS 2005 Server

  Good morning, I'm currently experiencing an issue connecting to a remote SSAS server. I added both the Sqlservr.exe and Sqlbrowser.exe to the Windows Firewall. I then added port 1433 TCP and port 1434 UDP to the Windows firewall. Afterwards, I tried to connect to the Server, however it doesn't allow me access, saying that I must make sure the server is running. I enabled remote access using the Surface Area Configuration utility; however I still don't have any luck. I can however connect to the SQL Database on that Server. If I disable to Windows Firewall, I can successfully connect to the Server, browse its cubes, build cubes, deploy projects etc etc etc. Just a note: I can access the SSAS Service when I'm p ...Show All

• SQL Server ON DELETE CASCADE

  hello guys! Well im using MS SQL 2000 and i have over 250 Tables in one of my Database the problem is all the Foreign Key in the Table is not turn ON in ON DELETE CASCADE. The question is, is there anyway to write a script to turn the ON DELETE CASCADE on all the Tables Thanks for the reply! Novelle Nope, not really. You will just have to script your keys out, then change to ON DELETE CASCADE manually. Unless there is some tool to do it, but I don't know of it. A trick I would use is to take your database scripts (or if you don't have any, use a comparison tool, compare my full database to an empty one) and just replace all ON DELETE NO ACTION values with ON DELETE CASCADE. Then use your sc ...Show All
