• SQL Server Replication Questions???

  Hi, I'm having a headache with the following questions weavering around...Hope that someone can help me with the answers. 1) I've implemented a immediate updating transactional replication on 2 servers. The loopback detection is also set to true. Under normal circumstances, when there is an transaction at the subscriber, it should be replicated to the publisher. However, this was not the case here. There were some transaction in the subscriber, but they were not replicated to the publisher. Is it because of the "loopback detection" option 2) If a bi-directional transaction is to be implemented as according to the BOL, the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Specify Form Location when Maximized

  Hello, I have a single form that starts up in the Normal State and StartPostion set to Manual. When the user clicks on the Maximize button, I would like to specify the location the form, instead of the upper left corner. Is this possible Thanks, steve Hi Steve, I'm assuming what you mean is "when the form is maximized and the user clicks on the Maximize button", otherwise clicking the Maximize button causes the form to fill the screen. If the form is already maximized, clicking the button restores it to its previous size and location - this is the default Windows behavior. If you haven't explicitly ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there a way to create a exe from an exe in C# ?

  I'm fairly new to C# and wanted to ask if anyone knew if it was possible to create an executable from the exectuable made in C#. Basically I want to make a configuration application that will make an executable based on the configurations made by the config app. It's for a application I'm working on that will allow the client app to talk to a custom built content mangement system. The point is to have a dynamic way to create the client app based upon the configurations of the user. It's kind of hard to explain but yeah.  I was able to do this in visual basic 6 but I wanted to know before I get started if this was possible to do in C#. ...Show All

• SQL Server Variables - Changing Scope Once created

  If I have created variable and have written expression etc and then I have realised that I have created it in the wrong place. For example I have created the variable inside Package scope instead of Foreach Loop scope. Yes I know it is my mistake. Do you think it would be nice to have a feature to change the scope from Package to Foreach Loop Maybe a drop down list I am sure there is a reason behind why it was done like this. I would appreciate if anyone can shed some light Or maybe there is a way it could be changed Thanks Sutha Thanks for logging the bug Sutha.

• Visual C# Create Web-Based Comments from VS.NET 2005

  I had one of the earlier versions of VS.NET and I could have sworn that when I was writing C# code, I was able to not only generate the XML file from my code's comments, but also the web pages. After a layoff of a couple years, I'm writing VB code in VS.NET 2005 and I've been able to generate the XML file but I can't find anywhere that tells me how to automate making the web pages. Does this functionality exist Thanks for any help in advance.
