• SQL Server External Activation with "n" servers processing messages.

  I am attempting to use Service Broker to distribute message processing across multiple machines. I have mulitple queues setup to all notify a single service with the QUEUE_ACTIVATION event. My external application then sits in a "WAITFOR RECEIVE" on that event queue and when it receives a message for a particular queue, will begin processing the messages in that queue if that particular server is configured to process messages of that type. My problem is that once one server starts receiving messages, the others don't always start processing and I end up with one server attempting to process all the messages by itself. What is the best way to notify multiple servers that there are messages in a particular queue which need process ...Show All

• Smart Device Development revise app after making cab file

  Noob question...I have developed an app, made the cab file, installed it, noticed some changes I want to make to the app. What do I do about the existing cab file in the solution as far as do I need to name my next one something different, do I make revisions in the code and then just add another cab file to the project, and what will happen to the old cab file if I make a new one in the solution/project Thanks. SonicSue I’m not quite sure I follow… If you have a project which builds CAB you just build that project to get updated CAB. Similar, you just build your executable project every time your change the source code instead of creating new project with the same name every time. ...Show All

• Visual Studio C# class library documentation download

  Maybe it's my connection, but I find it incredibly slow for the pages to load. Is it possible to download the documentation to my local machine Specifically, I'm interested in the C# class library documentation at MSDN Library > .NET Developement > Class Library Any ideas Thanks. Hello tsll2 - which version of Visual Studio do you have installed Visual Studio ships with a version of MSDN as a second step of the install process.

• SQL Server How do I register/install an IFilter with an instance of Sql Server?

  Hello, I am wanting to install Adobe's Pdf IFilter v6.0 for use with pdf files stored in the database and to use Full-Text searching on those files. I have been unable to find documentation telling me where I need to install the files, and how I register the IFilter with an instance of Sql Server.  I know I've seen demos showing how to do it, but I have not been able to find them again. Thanks, JoeM There is a typo in the code. The correct one should be as this: use master go EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources',1 go EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 go reconfigure with override I had a similar problem with searching text from PDF. This works fine for me too. Nian ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Styling Brushes

  It appears that there is no way to apply a style to a Brush (such as SolidColorBrush) -- the style property is seemingly non-existant. Is there any reason/workaround for this Thanks! I actually tried that Fill.Color idea before I asked....as you say, it doesn't work. I am actually in the midst of upgrading from June CTP to RC1, so I can't test this at the moment. However, will this work if I change the brush of the Rectangle after it has been loaded (i.e. will this still take effect if I set its fill to a new brush from the code behind after I have placed it on the screen) I wouldn't think so -- I would only think it would work when the rectangle was loaded, not when the fill was changed. Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Multiple tables in the same database causing problems

  So I have 3 tables inside one access database that im trying to create a report off of. My problem is that when I have fields from more than one table in the report, the report will not pull any data from either table. Its almost like its confused on how to access the data. I figured it out, i just added 2 subreports to the main report that i already had created. I just added 2 more sections to the report footer and added the subreports there. New problem tho, i cannot export as a pdf, i can export as a excell or word doc, its telling me "Error detected by export DLL". ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView binding self joined nested table for tree view

  I tried many things to bind the following table to show a tree view id int parent id text But I was never able to display the values of this table in the grid as tree view - only in a linear way. I added a relation id <->>parentid I bound the datagridview to a binding source which contained the dataset as datasource and the relation as member. No success. Is this possible, are there examples TIA Hi, If it is ok for you to use third-party controls, maybe you should try Hierarchical DataGridView control which is developed especially to address similar problems.

• SQL Server Merge Join vs. Lookup vs. Custom Script - which is fastest?

  Very often we have 50'000+ rows which you need to pull values from different source (e.g. CityNames from citycode in Excel file). Currently we are using Lookup - but the questions is which of those 3 options is best in performance wise If you do test the three methods, please post the results here. I am using custom script for lookups (small reference lists but millions of source rows in pipeline) but I would like to know how large reference lists perform. ...Show All

• .NET Development single key, multiple values - any data structure / class ?

  Hi friends, Happy New Year to all ! I have a file (similar to an INI file) wherein I have some configuration data stored in the following format: [Section 1] line 1 line 2 [Section 2] line 1 line 2 I need to be able to read this file into a data structure at application startup and subsequently be able to match some other data against the contents of this file. This is like a "single key-multiple values" structure. I've looked around for various collections classes, dictionaries, data structures but can't seem to find an appropriate one for my purpose. Can anyone suggest me what class/data structure can I use Or maybe some other way of achieving what I want to. Thanks n Regards, Kunal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Check-out not getting latest (RTM)

  Hi all We have this occasional problem whereby checking out a file doesn't get the latest, subsequently resulting in us having to merge our changes due to the file being different on TFS. Any ideas This sounds like it could be a bug to me Thanks Kev (dunno how this got posted to the wrong thread) Get Latest on Checkout is unlikely to be in SP1. Here are the workarounds I know of: - use the MSSCCI provider: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=87E1FFBD-A484-4 C3A-8776-D560AB1E6198&displaylang=en - add a new Solution Explorer menu item: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=332541&SiteID=1 - us ...Show All

• Visual Studio key schemes and output window nagivation

  In VS2003 using the default key binding scheme, F8 is mapped to Edit.GotoNextLocation. Edit.GotoNextLocation works in the Find Results windows. Edit.GoToOutputWindowNextLocation is used for navigating the Output Window and in the default key binding scheme, nothing shows up as bound to that command. However, in practice it appears to be bound to F8 (as if it is sharing the Edit.GotoNextLocation command binding). And F8 works whether or not the output window has focus (unless an SEID_ResultsList element has been brought forward). In VC++6, by default, F4 and shift+F4 are used to navigate both the output window and the find results window depending on which is in front. But in the vs2003 vc6 key binding scheme, F4 is only bound to Edit.GoT ...Show All
