• SQL Server Cannot create a valid ODBC DSN to SQL Server Express

  Hello All, I've just spent the better part of a day trying to configure SQL Express to allow me to create an ODBC connection.

I've enabled TCP/IP and named pipes, allowed remote connections, enabled the SQL Browser, and just about e ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sleep causing PInvoke to unbalance the stack

  Hi All I'm a newbie to VB (I've used VB for Apps for a while) but I can't do what I want to do in a batch file so I'm advancing to VB 2005 EE.

This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters ...Show All
