• .NET Development DLLs with IIS problem?

  Hi all, I have an ASP.NET application developed with VS2005 and have some references to COM assembilies (.dll files). Here is the problem I am encountering. When I run the application from VS2005 it works fine no problem at all, but when I run it through IIS the assembilies do not work. I looked at other threads in this forum with similar problems and permission issue are mentioned for those problems, but I have no idea whether this is a permission issue or a problem about registering the assembily (.dll) for the IIS. Any ideas, I already tried it but it does not work. I do not know ...Show All

• Visual Studio Two way synchronization

  Hi all, As far as I know The DSL Toolkit doesn't support two way synchronization out of the box. Suppose I want to implement it (at least try). What are my best options Just writing the "raw xml" I think I heard somebody speak about a DSL demo at the PDC were synchronization between two models was demo-ed. How was this implemented Thanks in advance. Edward The DSL Tools V1 won't support two synchronization out of the box. Usually you would have one model in the designer, another model of the text/code representation in memory and you would use custom code to synchronize them each way. The PD ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView does't show updated data from dataset

  Hi everyone, I have a master/detail application where in the master I use a datagridview. In the detail I use textboxes and comboboxes to show 1 record of the master datagridview. After updating the detail and closing the detail I do a merge of the the 2 datasets in master and detail. This always works ok, but NOT for the comboboxes I use in my detail form. When I open the detail again, do nothing and return back to the master then my datagridview is updated correctly. But of course I want the update done correctly the 1e time. SIMPLE EXAMPLE Master datagridview contains: Postalcode - CityName - CountryID (visible = fals ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Management Studio (RTM) Connect Problem

  I'm trying to use SSMS to connect to previously configured remote MSDE servers. I can connect just fine using Enterprise Manager to these remote machines.

• Visual C# Get the font filename (like tahoma.ttf)

  Hi, Is there a method that can retrive the font filename e.g. tahoma, by passing it the font family Hi! I know the post is old but maybe some one can help me. The code is converting values from little-endian to big-endian byte order. But TrueType specification (from here ) says: " All TrueType fonts use Motorola-style byte ordering (Big Endian) " I didn't test the code but believe it is working. So why there is such unconformity between code and specification Or am I misunderstanding something ...Show All

• SQL Server Alter column question

  I've been asked to consider modifying our largest, oldest and most used database. "They" want to change the type of some columns from tinyint & smallint to dec(4,1) thru dec(6,1). I'm doing all I can to prevent this asinine change, mentioning the fact that everything we've built in the last 12 years will need to be checked / modified. But, in case I lose, I wrote a script to modify the columns. It consists of a bunch of T-SQL commands like: alter table course_table alter column credit_hours decimal(4,1) go I ran one of these commands on a local subset and it took forever to finish. The full script will have to be done over t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Help with clunky event handling

Now I am coding in Visual Studio 2005 using the ADO.NET layer and .NET 2 components and it feels like I have taken 10 steps back.
