• .NET Development How to fully close an MDB File?

  Using C#, I've built an export engine in my WinForms app that successfully writes data into a series of tables in an MDB file. At the end of the operations I dispose of the connection object - ie. "conn.Dispose();" But yet, until I close my app, the MDB's companion "LDB" file doesn't disappear. What else do I need to do to get the LDB file to disappear as soon as the export is complete Robert It's possible that connection pooling may be keeping the database open for a short period of time. That may explain why the .LDB file is still present. It's also possible that you may have other or implicit connections from your application. In a networked multi-user scenario this is also ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get labled files with TFS API

  Hi, I can get latest files from TFS using GetStatus status = ws.Get(serverItems, VersionSpec .Latest, RecursionType .Full, GetOptions .Overwrite | GetOptions .GetAll); but, how can I get all the files that belong to a label Thanks. You might want to take a look at the VersionSpec class in the documentation.  There is a subclass of VersionSpec called LabelVersionSpec that has functionality for specifying labels.  Passing an instance of LabelVersionSpec as your second parameter instead of VersionSpec.Latest could be a good bet.   http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.versioncontrol.client.labelversionspec(VS.80).aspx   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation and device applications

  Hello, Two questions: Does TFS support code analysis and Test runs for Compact Framework applications out of the box If not, can TFS be tweaked to do so Does Team Edition for Architects support distributed systems that include device applications If not, can it be tweaked to do so Thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken Hello Luis, thanks for your response. About the test runs and code analysis. If I am correct, both analysis and unit tests are executed through reflection. Because desktop and device applications differ just a bit (like using other core assemblies), my fear was that it was not possible to use these two great features of TFS on device applications. I am glad to hear that code analysis is supported. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development time function

  Hi, I'm new to C++ and I am writing a project in it that I want to build on both Windows CE and VxWorks, so I am compiling the project in both MS Visual Studio and Wind River Workbench. There are a number of places in the app where I want to get the current date and time (number of seconds since 1/1/1970) but I can't figure out how to make it work! From what I can tell, time(time_t * timer) is the way to go, but while this compiles fine for VxWorks, when I compile it for Windows I get a strange linker error which says that there are unresolved externals in the function that contains the call to time(). Help! (Thanks in advance!) Rachel Oops, don't get cranky with me. I just said that it implemen ...Show All

  It is 12:48 pm here (GMT + 1)... in Nuku'alofa (GMT + 13) it is tomorrow... So where the hell is my download link :-D It's just about 12:30 AM, my guess is you'll still have to wait several more hours, probably at least 8 and a half since the workday starts for most people in the US around 9 AM. Even then I don't expect to see it until later in the afternoon Pacific time. ...Show All

• SQL Server Watermark Generation is Invalid Error

  We are currently doing a proof of concept using SQL 2005 merge replication.  However we are currently encountering the following errors: "The common generation watermark is invalid at this replica since it does not exist or metadata for changes not yet propagated may have been cleaned up." " The merge process failed because it detected a mismatch between the replication metadata of the two replicas, such that some changes could be lost leading to non-convergence. This could be due to the subscriber not having synchronized within the retention period, or because of one of the replicas being restored to a backup older than retention period, or because of the publisher performing more aggressive cleanup on articles of type download ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot open database on local server

  Server Error in '/QuickStartv20/aspnet/samples/data' Application. It looks like the user in the machine/domain MLHPR called ASPNET is the one trying to access the database. I'll bet there's no login for that user in the system. The first thing to do is try and see if you can connect at all - on the server where SQL Server lives, type this at a Windows command prompt: osql -E -d pubs -Q "SELECT 'I got in.'" If you see the words "I got in" on the screen, then SQL Server is up and running. If not, either SQL isn't installed or there is no database called "pubs" on it.

• Software Development for Windows Vista TransactionScopeOption - what no "Supports"?

  I'm in the process of converting a .net 1.1 program to use System.Transactions. However, I've hit a problem. The current code creates a ES version of a transaction scope and sets the equiv' TransactionScopeOption to "Supports" which means enlist in a transaction if one is there otherwise don't bother. However in System.Transactions there only seems to be {Required|RequriesNew|Supress}. I don't want to have to a put an "If" around each call and I'd rather not have to wrap the TransactionScope object but what choice do I have I feared that was the case, although in my example the requirement is simple. I have a client where the user can choose to run under a transaction and take loads longer (already posted about th ...Show All

• .NET Development Interop Debugging with ICorDebug

  I'm working on a debugger using the ICorDebug interfaces. I'vem only just started and I'm trying to get a proof of concept for my boss. I'm able to launch or attach to managed apps and I'm getting all the proper DebugManagedCallback calls for attach, create process, load module, etc. Things get wierd when I add the unmanaged callback and set the flags for interop debugging. My unmanaged callback gets called and I call ICorDebug::Continue with the value of the out of band flag that's passed into the function. Everything works until I get the initial int 3 call. In that case the out of band flag is FALSE but whether I call Continue with TRUE or FALSE, the app is never fully launched and I don't get any of the managed callbacks. I've tried ev ...Show All
