• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Some basic questions...

  I'm debating on whether to go with SQL Server merge replication or to use the new ADO.NET Sync Services. (It's a future project with no deadline, so I can test with the CTP until it's released.) The server will be some version of SQL Server 2005. The client will be SQL Compact. 1. Tracking changes on the client (SQL Compact): How is this done, since you can't write triggers in SQLCE Must the client application maintain this 2. Schema changes: Merge replication seems to handle this pretty well in my experience. Will the ADO.NET Sync Services have a similar feature 3. Merge replication requires a paid-for version of SQL Server to be the server/publisher. If I understand ADO.NET Sync Services correctly, I could use SQL Express as th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Resources, Templates and Styles

  I think there must be some fundamental that I'm not understanding correctly. Why are Style Resources with an explicit TargetType key not utilised inside DataTemplates This does not seem intuitive to me as DataTemplates with an explicit DataType key are utilised. See the following example: < Window xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " xmlns:sys = " clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib " > < Window.Resources > < Style TargetType = " {x:Type TextBlock} " > < Setter Property = " Background " Value = " Cyan " /> </ Style > < DataTemplate DataType = " {x:Type sys:Int32} " > ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem populating a crystal report from VB

  I have created a database(.mdf) in Visual Studio. I created the project using the instructions given in the crystal reports walk through.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Tracking Query returns null

  I have update the Workflow Foundation from the Beta 2.2 to the RC1. In the RC1 there is no "SharedConnectionWorkflowService" anymore. It is called "SharedConnectionWorkflowCommitBatchService" now. So I changed that. Since that I get an error in following code statements: SqlTrackingQuery sqlTrackingQuery = new SqlTrackingQuery (ConnectionStringWorkflowService); SqlTrackingWorkflowInstance sqlTrackingInstance; sqlTrackingQuery.TryGetWorkflow(e.WorkflowInstance.InstanceId, out sqlTrackingInstance); The method "TryGetWorkflow" doesnt populate the SqlTrackingInstance. It is being null. Before changing the Shared Connection Service it worked. Any suggestions, where the problem may be Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C++ Illegal Character in File path...using *

  I'm using StreamReader to read text from a file. The problem is I cannot get the exact filename of the file I intend to read. So I'm using a wildcard - something like "Monitor_log_08_20_10_15_*.txt" where the Monitor_log is followed by month_day_hours_minutes_seconds. I cant time it right to get the seconds field exact, so I'm just using a wildcard. StreamReader doesnt like that. It errors with an Illegal Character in File Path. How do I workaround this problem Any suggestions... Thanks!! Files is the full path name. To get just the filename, use Path::GetFileName(Files ) or Path::GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Files ); ...Show All

• Visual C# Connect to database on server

  Hi, I'm trying to connect from C# to a database on my server. Below is my code, it didn't seems to work.

Open( "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" , "Admin" , "" , "//10.21.10.12/JasonDB.mdb " , "ReadWrite" ); Thank You!! Jason Jason, your connection string seems incorrect: it uses slashes instead of backslashes, and you don't have a sharename between the server and the filename. In VS2005, you can use Server Explorer. Summarizing the steps: 1) Open Server Explorer. 2) Right-click on "Data Connections", choose "Add Connection". 3) In the dialog ...Show All
