• .NET Development Install .Net 2.0 runtime on web hotel?

  Hello all! Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong category, but I didn't find a more apropriate one. I work for a small ISV / Hosting company.  We have a web hotel with 50+ .Net 1.1 webs running on a Win2000 Datacenter box.  I want to install the .Net 2.0 runtime on the server, but I was wondering about possible side effects.  Will all webs automatically start using the 2.0 runtime   Is there anything in the .Net 2.0 runtime that will break our applications Thanks in advance! You can have both of runtimes installed on the same machine, it should be no problem. Your webs will not aut ...Show All

• Visual Basic assistance: tring to setup Visual Studio's 9 pro, 16 bit subsystem error, WHY??

  everytime i try to run the install wizard I get an error box that telas me 16 bit subsystem error.

Any help would be appriciated. Thanks Comet87 LOL That is so funny. You can always use the current american corporate executive answer of denial and saying I didnt know what the others were doing.....

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio hangs after WWF 1.2 is installed

  I've just installed WWF 1.2 beta, and now Visual Studio (RTM) appears to hang in an endless loop on startup. I've installed the Windows SDK, WWF platform components, VS WWF extenstions, as well as WinFX and VS WinFX extensions, all in one go. The only visible sign of an error I can find (apart from VS now being broken :) are some entries in the Application event log (something is complaining about a missing assembly, Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners; I'm guessing these originate from NGen as they are dated after the event log entries reporting a successful installation). I'd suggest that you try u ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView.DataSource: Grid won't display data when set to DataTable

  myDataGridView.DataSource = myDataSet; DataTable newTable = new DataTable (name); //some stuff here to populate newTable myDataSet.Tables.Add(newTable); myDataGridView.Refresh(); myDataGridView.Update(); Why won't this code cause the DataGridView to display the data contained in the DataSet I have also tried forcing the DataSource property to the newTable but this did not help either. Hi, Did you do the databinding via the IDE Wizard If so I think you may do a little more job to load the new datatable.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Numeric Up Downer

  Say I have 10 NUD controls, each which can increment plus or minus max 20 in either direction at .5 increments. How could I get the total of each value to add up in a text box below I've been trying a lot of different things... But it seems that the value of the NUD is .5 more than what shows up in the text box for one. And secondly, I couldn't figure out how to add the values of each when the up down arrows aren't separatable in function from the display window of the control... Like, how to have it know that the string converted to double is plus or minus... This is probably simple to someone who knows... Thanks. If you aren't already ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about system.configuration.ProtectedConfigurationSection

  I'm attempting to use the example at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.rsaprotectedconfigurationprovider.aspx . However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the connection string to encrypt. Is there something special I should know I am expecting it to read the app.config file and encrypt the connection string, then save it, so that when I open it, it should not be human readable. Is there another step to this Kevon i had the same issue with this example i noticed that during runtime the file *.vshost.exe.config is encrypted. but thats not exactly what i was hoping for. i tried strong naming m ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Database maintenance

  What are the methods and recommendations re maintenance of the database Mario Hi Moustafa, Thanks for the comprehensive answer, it is much appreciated. It is excellent that we can run the PartitionCompletedWorkflowInstances procedure on our own, that is definitely gonna help, as I'm sure some of our customers will definitely prefer it that way. It's also great that the SqlTrackingQuery stuff will look at the partition tables, that's what I was hoping for :) ...Show All

• Visual J# J# Books & Questions

  I'm a new developer and am planning to write an application for church office administration.  It would keep track of facility usage, payroll, members, attendees, donations and general accounting.  I've looked into a couple different languages and have narrowed it down to J# or Omnis Studio (Omnis.net), which appears to be underdeveloped. However, I'm having trouble finding resources (in print or electronic form) for J# and learning it looks fairly tough.  Should I buy a book on Java to learn J#   Can I build the type of software that I'm trying to in VJ# 2005 Express B2   Thanks in advance for the timely responses. ...Show All

• Visual C++ #pragma unmanaged and _MANAGED macro

  We would like to use _MANAGED to determine if the code is compiled as native or managed code. Unfortunately, _MANAGED is always defined when /clr switch is used. #pragma unmanaged does not undef the macro. Is there any way to tell for sure that the code is being compiled as native or managed Thanks, Sean Forgive me if I misunderstood what you want to know. But if you want to know if a program is being compiled as managed then you have all that you need. #ifdef _MANAGED //managed application #else //unmanaged application #endif If on the other hand you want to know if a program was compiled as managed at ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity Binding

  hi all, i wonder, how it would be possible, to bind properties of type collection. i tried two ways: 1) i declared properties of type arraylist and tried to bind them in the designer, which leads me to the "Object Collection Editor", which is not right... 2) i used a typeconverter on the activity property: [TypeConverter(typeof(ActivityBindTypeConverter))] this would lead me to the correct binding dialog, but creates an error, when trying to bind the properties: Object of type 'System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityBind' cannot be converted to type 'System.Collections.ArrayList'. any ideas, how this ...Show All
