• Visual Studio Express Editions Arraylist sorting

  I have an arraylist of alphanumeric items: C1,C2,C3,C10,C11,C20,R1,R2,R21,RN1,RN2,etc. When I use array.sort they come out C1,C10,C11,C2, etc. I want to sort them grouping by the alpha character but numerically in sequence. I've written a bubble sort function but that gives me the same result as array.sort. Is there an " easy " way to get this sorted like I want Thanks, Cote ...Show All

• SQL Server "Do not replicate DELETE statement" feature problem

  I am testing SQL Server 2005. I need a replication where "DELETE delivery format" field in Table Articles Properties is set to "Do not replicate DELETE statement". Unfortunately nothing I set in this dialog is saved and used. Doesn matter what I change the replication behaves the same and the next time I open "Table Articles Properties", every value is still default. Am I doing something wrong or is it an issue (bug) in 2005 replication I googled about the issue and also searched in the SQL Server Replication threads on this site, both with no success.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Different Coloured Brushes

  How do I change the brush colour so that each square is different I was thinking of using an array, Dim arrCol() As String = {"Red", "Yellow", "Green"} but string can't be converted to system.brush. I tried Dim arrCol as System.Brushes, but that doesn't work either. So any ideas please.

• SQL Server Scheduled SQL Server Agent SSIS Package Job Problem

  HELP! I have been banging my head against a brick wall on this one all this morning AAAAAAGGGHHH! 1. I have an SSIS package that runs a simple SQL script and then updates a few tables by downloading some XML of the web. It runs fine when I kick it off manually under SSMS. 2. I created a SQL Server Agent job to run it every day. This always fails. The error information in the log is useless ("Executed as user: domain\user. The package execution failed. The step failed." - I had already figured that out!). It fails almost straight away, and when I enable logging for the SSIS package, no info is ever logged (text file, windows event log, whatever). 3. Out of desperation I have changed Agent to run under the same domain user ...Show All

• Visual Basic Why does Visual Studio ask me to add a reference in this case?

• Visual Studio Express Editions 101 samples and FTP

  Hi everyone, I've been reading alot on VB it was my first choice in programing. I downloaded the 101 samples, alot of them my express edition wants to upgrade and then doesn't do a very good job and wants me to correct alot of stuff for it to function in the debug. Example with the sample ftp. I upgraded it. And all the code is there the example shows up all the buttons and textboxes. But it wont debug. To many errors. I was wondering if this is usual So I decided that if I copy and paste the buttons onto a new app form and copy and paste to code into the new form that hopefully VB would suggest what to do along the way. Well I was right and I got alot of errors to go away and now I'm stuck with 6 warnings that let the app debug ...Show All
