• Software Development for Windows Vista Can't download .NET Framework 3.0 June CTP SDK

  When I try to download it, it reports : The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page. This has been a particularly difficult release to publish live, and it has caused us a lot of late nights and internal conversations.

• Visual Studio Text Template questions

  Hello, I have two questions about the text templates: 1. I've just scratched the surface of the DSL tools and architecture, but find them very interesting and am anxious to start using them. I am curious however, can i use them to implement a diagram designer that matches the usability of a Form designer. What i try to say is that i would really like to keep the model and sourcecode in sync. It is not a problem that it is one, way, but i really don't want the end-developers to continually have to re-generate the code whenever a model has changed. If possible, i wouldn't even want them to see the text templates, but just the model they design and the resulting sourcecode (Like the Form designer). Is this possible 2. How can i use text tem ...Show All

• SQL Server AS400 DB2 connection strings

  I am trying to construct a connection string via iSeries OleDb provider. The default list of libraries on the AS400 for my user is fine for production. But in test scenarios the code/data libraries are rolled out through a sequence of test libraries. How do I specify the additional libraries for testing. I connect fine and can execute sql. the statements like insert into TestLibrary.Table work fine, but the associated trigger code isn't called. Would it be better to use the .Net Connection set of classes instead. I switched from ODBC to OleDb because of assumed thread safety issues.
