SQL Server Scheduling Info.
Hi I am using RS 2000. Currently I am scheduling the job by manually giving the date, time. Is there any possibility to make it as data driven so that I can configure each user with different timings. Regards, Venkataraman M You can create multiple data driven subscriptions to run at different schedules for different users or user groups. You can filter users for which the subscription is run in data driven subscription query. ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Threadsafe-ObservableCollection
Hello, I have started playing with WPF. It is very cool. I have a singelton collection object that is derived from ObservableCollection (let’s call it MyCache). I'd like to make sure that it is thread-safe. Seems like I have at least 3 options (I'm not sure if all of them are correct): Option 1: I can go through and make sure the users of MyCache lock the instance before using it. However this is not very appealing. Options 2: So what if I were to override ObservableCollection's virtual methods (InsertItem, RemoveItem, etc.) and lock a common instance every time someone accessed MyCache. Would that solve the problem What would happen to public (non-virtual) methods such as Add and indexOf I have a feelin ...Show All

Smart Device Development Compact Framework - Function Keys
I am trying to create an Application for Pocket PC 5.0. (Windows Mobile 5.0). My application relies on Function Keys (F1, F2 ... F10). These functions are preassigned to set functions in Windows Mobile 5.0 (E.g. F6 - Volume UP, F7 - Volume Down, etc.) So when the user presses these keys the form which i have created does not get KeyDown Event. I am able to access F3, F4, F5, F8, F9, F10. All other keys F1, F2, F6, F7, F11, F12 are not resulting in the event. I was wondering if there is a solution for this problem Thanks for your time.

Windows Forms Question on ClickOnce Deployment
I want to create a ClickOnce appliaction to replace my windows control hosted in IE. We have hundreds of customers and they way it works now is that they download a package from our website and install the software on there web server. I would like to be able to have the ClickOnce application on our customers web servers, but from what I have been reading to create the ClickOnce (using VS 2005) you have to set the publish location, which I would not know. It seems that what I want to do, which is have a customer download the ClickOnce application and subsequent upgardes to their web server so that their users can install the application from that web server is not possible or at least I have not found any documentation on that.
