• SQL Server Licensing sql express for web hosting providers

  For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients. Could someone clarify this for me If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer. Thank you! More specifically this. If I understand this correctly it does not mean I can't give my customers access to create and operate databases, but I cannot rent out the actual software. 4. Scope of License. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreemen ...Show All

• .NET Development Failed to create an IPC Port: Access is denied.

  I have a service that registers a remoting IPC channel on startup and quite often I will get this error when the service is stopped and then restarted. It doesn't do it all the time but enough to be an annoyance and when the service is stopped I do unregister the channel. Anyone else experience this Thanks!! The message is: Failed to create an IPC Port: Access is denied. I originally received this for insufficient rights, where I corrected this by using a hashtable and adding a property with the 'users' group to it (unsecure). However, after finally determining that the Pipe was not being freed (using Process Explorer by SysInternals), I have put it down to the channel not closing the handle to t ...Show All

• Windows Forms MSI run from VS setup.exe is not themed

  We are using the the Visual Studio 2005 bootstrapper to create a setup.exe that will install the .NET Framework 2.0 before installing our application. It works fine, except that the dialogs from our MSI do not display buttons or progress bars using the selected Windows XP theme. Instead, they appear with the Windows 95/98 look. I've experienced this problem using MSI's created with WiX and with VS2005. This isn't a huge deal, but I'd like to fix it if possible. Is this a bug, or is there some setting I need to add/edit Thanks. Sorry for my late reply, it's been rather hectic the past ten days. I thought this was probably just something I'd have to live with. It just seemed wierd that the problem only appe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What constitutes "Commercial"?

  What if I want to develop an application that I do not intend to distribute and sell, but only use internally as an integral part of some business model, such as in a CyberCafe / LAN party. If I'm a business consultant who develops a Team-Building game for corporate events that are based on my Team-Building Intellectual Property, is it considered "Commercial Use" if I'm using the Xbox 360 as a turnkey platform to run this on For example, perhaps I break up employees into small groups of four to team up and participate in a game and I need to use 10 Xboxes simultaneously for a group of 40 people. You can see the advantage of using 360s instead of PCs for the convenience of setup here, especially for a travelling roadshow. So ...Show All

• Visual Basic Hide/Show Certain Text Fields in a form

  I am using software that scripts with VB .NET and I am trying to have a textbox hidden unless a combo box above it has "other" selected. So the user will select something from the combo box and if it is "other" then I want a certain textbox to become visible to type information into. If they pick something other than "other" then I want the textbox to remain hidden. Thanks! Well, you would put the code on the selectedindexchanged event. so, in your Design View, click on the combobox, then in the properties, select the events button (the one that looks like a lightning symbol) somewhere in there, there will be a property called something like "selectedindexchanged" - just ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error: The server version and database compatibility level of deploy target is not supported.

  Hi, Yesterday I changed a script in my database project. It was something really simple, like changing the default value of a column. Suddenly my project doesn't build anymore and gives the following error: "The server version and database compatibility level of deploy target is not supported." The project version is set to SQL Server 2000. When I change to SQL Server 2005 I get a warning, but I can still build: "Warning TSD250: The column [SomeColumn] on table [dbo].[SomeTable] is being truncated. There may be loss of data." This column is of type ntext. Any ideas what might cause this BTW, I'm working with CTP7. Thanks, Jeffry You're not changing the build target on th ...Show All

• .NET Development PublisherPolicy redirecting multiple versions, ambiguity in documentation

  MSDN documentation is ambiguous w.r.t. redirecting multiple verions. I will explain the ambiguity and then pose my question: A. The assembly name created for the policy must be named policy.<Major>.<Minor>.MyAssembly.dll. Here <Major>.<Minor> is the Major.Minor version number of the version of MyAssembly that should be redirected to some newer version. So policy.2.14.MyAssembly.dll contains the redirect for clients binding to version 2.14.3 and redirects them to some other version. B. Multiple versions can be redirected in the <bindingRedirect> by specifying oldversion="2.14.3.0-2.16.0.0". This would redirect any client bound to any version between 2.14.3.0 and 2.16.0.0. The ambiguity introd ...Show All
