• SQL Server Problem with creating endpoint in SQL 2005: "Incorrect syntax near 'ENDPOINT'"

  Please help! I am trying to create an endpoint for my data base and i constantly receive the Incorrect syntax near 'ENDPOINT' error message. i am running on Windows XP and i believe I am using SQL interprise edition (I installed it on top of the evaluation version, and it didn't give me any error during installation, so i take it that it installed most features) here is the code i am using to create the endpoint: CREATE PROCEDURE GetData AS SELECT FirstName, Age FROM mytable GO CREATE ENDPOINT sql_test STATE = STARTED AS HTTP ( PATH='/test', AUTHENTICATION=(INTEGRATED), PORTS=(CLEAR), SITE='*' ) FOR SOAP ( WEBMETHOD 'UserList' ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Help with adding a button to a grid column programmatically

  Help     I am working on a VFP 9.0 app that has a grid that shows 3 different sets of data depending on a radio button selection. This is why I need to do this programmatically. I need to add a command button to one of the columns. I can add the command button using the IDE and it works fine. But when I add it using the following code all I get is a grey background in the column. I thought it might be because the command button was way to large for the column but this is not the case. For a test I tried to add a check box to the column and it added it and displayed it properly but I could not check the box using the mouse ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tiny app consumes lots of RAM

  I just created a small app for my contacts and it uses a small database with one table and single Windows Form. IN the Vb IDE, all I did was a simple drag and drop from the data sources panel onto the form. I let the ide create the controls, on the form, to interact with the database. Other then the binding navigator, no other controls are used. No menus......nothing. I compiled and published the project and installed it on my pc and ran it. I was surprised when I looked in task manager and saw that it was consuming 29 megs of ram. That seems really high for an app so small. Especially when VB Express (as big as the app is) was shown as ...Show All
