Windows Forms Windows Forms application closes unexpectedly
Hi, we have a quite large Windows Forms application (one small executable and about 30 assemblies). On several client PCs (Windows XP SP2) the application suddenly disappears (like a crash but without an exception). We register a ThreadExceptionHandler with the application instance to catch otherwise not caught exceptions, which normally works. But in the case of the above issue the application seems to close without calling the Form.OnClo ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Interoperability and utility
XML, to me, has always been about interoperability, and XQuery was going to bring the promise of XML to the database world. The promise that my code could work as easily with an Oracle database as it could with SQL Server -- the database would become a black box, and data would become universally accessible. Is LINQ going to bring about an end to that dream My question is born out of ignorance, because I don't understand LINQ well enough. What ...Show All

I have been working through the restore to a different server process with TFS Refresh as described in http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/articles/500334.aspx .

.NET Development SqlDataReader & an SQL statement problem

SQL Server default value for a parameter to select all
Hello, I'm using SQLServer 2005 and I build a report in the visual studio. I need a way to set as default value for a multi-value parameter its option of 'Select All'. Thanks, Talia.
