• SQL Server Another question about Login failed, but with Windows NT Integrated security for SQL 2005

  Hi, Happy New Year!   I have been struggling with this problem for a while with SQL 2005.   I have never had such login problem with SQL 2000. Here is the scenario:   I have installed SQL2005 standard version on a XP Pro box and I am trying to access it from another XP Pro machine.   I can access it using a SQL user name and password that I set up on the server, but I have not had luck with using Windows NT Integrated security.   When I try to connect to it (e.g. by a UDL file), I get an error saying Login failed for user ‘HP-AMD64\Guest’ where ‘HP-AMD64’ is the name of the PC running the SQL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ghost projects

  2 weeks ago I had some problems creating projects from a remote location. The problem never really got solved but I can live with that for now. The problem is that the few times that I tried creating a project, the process halted with an error saying that it might not have been able to roll back all changes. Now my question is. The projects that I created doens't show up in the Team explorer but Source Control has entries for the projects and I'm not able to remove them. Likewise if I look in security settings new users was created for the projects. As with the Source control project I'm not able to delete them as well. Does anyone hav ...Show All

  I am getting a timeout error when I run SQLMetal on some of my databases. Are there any restrictions as to how many tables there can be The ones that time out have 300+ tables in them. I can get it to work on smaller databases (e.g. Northwind and some of my own with less than 100 tables). -Larry Thanks Larry for trying out SqlMetal. This is a known issue we are looking into - SqlMetal currently does not specify (or take on command line) a timeout. We are looking into a solution. Thanks. Dinesh Kulkarni ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to Port MFC to .NET; from VC6 C++ to Managed C++ and/or C# .NET

  Can someone point me to information on how to port and/or reuse a portion of a huge MFC app to C# .NET managed and/or C++ .NET managed code. Willing to rewrite most of the user interface, but need to preserve/modify existing code that is based on 50+ classes derived from MFC's CObject.  I need the "Serialize" portions of CObject so that my existing data files can be read into the ported app, or so I can create a conversion app. I already have everything compiling and running in VS.NET C++ 2003 using MFC.  But this is not a Managed code app, and C# can't talk to it in an interop kind of way.  Further, it can't use 3rd ...Show All

• SQL Server Best way to handle License issues

  Here is the scenario: We are developing an ETL type data load application and we're thinking building a SSIS package to assist with this. The application and data files to be loaded would be on the client Windows XP Workstation. The SQL Server 2005 instance would be on a networked server elsewhere. The XP Workstation would NOT have sql server 2005. What is the best way to handle this Can this be achieved fairly easily Kevin You’ll have to be a bit more specific on how you want to do your licensing... on a per seat basis Per server No matter the model, I would highly recommend taking a read of this arti ...Show All

• Visual Basic Movie, TV, DVD Info Program

  I'm trying to make a program that will allow the user to type in the name of a movie or TV show, and then have it show them when and where it's playing in theaters, when it's coming out on DVD, or what channel and what time's it playing, depending on what was entered. I need the program to retrieve this information from the Internet. Does anyone know a good way to do this As far as I can tell the most efficient way for the movies and DVDs would be XML RSS feeds, but I don't know how to manipulate these in Visual Basic 2005. And this still doesn't cover TV listings, which I imagine would be more complicated. Anyway, I was just looking for hel ...Show All

• Visual Basic Object instance lookup & lifetime

  Hi there, currently still using VB6 but exploring the move to VB.NET. We have a multi tier application with a tier in which we have created object classes representing table records (Flight, Booking, Airstrip, Passenger etc.) Since these objects are referring to each other we need to be aware that we do not create more than one instance in memory for a certain FlightID. Hence we have a "cache" (dictionary) which holds a reference to every instanced Flight object etc.. This in order that the Passenger.Flight and Booking.Flight actually refer to the same flight instance. The question is this: - In VB6/COM you could (with difficulty) find ...Show All
