• Smart Device Development Desktop application to be ported to run on smartphones

  I have a small desktop application developed using C#.NET 2005 (.NET 2.0). It does have 3 command buttons, 1 tree control and has the capability of accessing the Web services offered by another application. I just want to know if the same can be ported to run on Smartphones. If yes, how and If no, what is preventing me to do so Please let me know. Appreciate your help!

• SQL Server Cannot create new SQL database file.

  Hello, I'm using MS Visual C# 2005 Express, but I can't create a new local database file in the "Add -> New Item" dialog. The Studio doesn't create the database, but shows a file not found message.

If you encounter an error with manually creating the database, let us know what that error is. Thanks Laurentiu ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• SQL Server Writting to multiple tables

  Hi All, I need to read data from a table, on a remote server, and write the data to an identical table on the local server. (That I did and all works fine.) The local server is were we do analysis services. So, with the data from the remote, I need to write parts of it to 2 tables other than the local identical table. (I hope this is clear) What tools do I use to accomplish this If this is not clear, let me know and I will try to clarify. Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks, Roy ...Show All

• Visual C++ CEdit fails to set text on out-of-proc edit control

  I have an application that allows client software to create a dialog box in the application. The application returns the handle to the created dialog to the client. I am running the client out-of-proc. The client is able to initialize all the dialog box controls except for the edit controls. For some reason, when calling the SetWindowText message, the text never makes it into the edit control field. If I later call GetWindowText, the CEdit does return the text set earlier. Using Spy++ on the edit control, I can see WM_GETTEXT, but not WM_SETTEXT messages being sent and processed by the edit control. I added extra code for one of my but ...Show All

• Windows Forms Ordering Items in a Property Grid

  This is really pathetic. I have tried a ton of stuff to try to order property grid items in VB.NET but it seems there is no way. I have heard that it is a VB.Net langauge bug, but very low priority on Microsoft's list... Well, its something everyone with a propertygrid wants, so can't Microsoft just add an Attribute for "Order"   pizzayoyo wrote: Ok, i found how to do it in VB, by converting a C# file (PropertySort.cs) into VB.

• .NET Development Custom MembershipProvider Help

  I'm having a heap of trouble implementing a custom MembershipProvider. Here are the details: I am creating a site that uses WebParts functionality, which, in turn, requires Membership functionality. Currently, I do not have SQL Server (in any incarnation) installed on the machine (in fact, it's a virtual PC running WinXP with SP2, and VS 2005 Beta 2, only), which, in its default configuration, Membership requires. So, I thought that I'd write a custom provider that would suffice for now (that does not use a backend but simply returns some static data for it's methods), which would alleviate my need for SQL server (I do not currently need to ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Reservation System

  Hi. I want to make a client-server application used for reservations. The client is a pocket pc 2003 CF2 and the server app is a basic C# application running on a Windows XP Sp2. I am using VS 2005 and C#. So the basic idea is that the Pocket PC is connected by WIFI to the windows machine running the C# app. With the PP you should be able to make a reservation which will be shown in the C# app and the pp should be able to show reservations made by the C# app. 1) Is the smartes thing here to use web services or .NET remoting 2) When using web services, how can the C# app update the reservations made by the client PP Synchroniz ...Show All
