• Visual C# Detect compiler version?

  Is there a way to detect the version of the compiler in code like you could with VC++ with preprocessor directives I can't find a predefined one for C# that indicates if running VS .NET, VS2003 or VS2005   We would like code to be potentially buildable under each compiler for a transition period.  Manually adding these defines to projects would be a pain and would require maintaining seperate projects or build configurations, so was hoping there is a predefined one like there is for VC++. Not sure about a way to detect the compiler in code, but you could get the runtime version in code by using: ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Statemachine not Stable !!!!

  I checked in several constellations. Rasing Events works between 1 - 20 times than I get by random Event can not be deliverd. By seeing the unanswerd request here in the Forum I think it's not working. If yes some good Ideas are always well come. Wolfram Hi, I dunno this is helps or not, but the ONLY time I've seen this so far is when trying to raise an event handled in a state that is not the current active state (as mentioned by Andrei previously). The error message itself really didn't help me at the time. To help debug this stuff have you see the WorkflowMonitor example in c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista what is exact advantage of WF

  Hi, I am new to WF.I am not yet sure what type of applications can be easily designed using WF(windows workflow foundation), though people say that it can be applications like call center application, loan s/w etc. Every control provided in workflow toolbox(VS.net 2005) like "invokewebservice","delay","code",parallel","ifelse" works in same way as we wrote code for these in earlier versions.What great advantage has come out. Can somebody guide me where exactly WF benefits in comparison to earlier approach. If possible please provide me with one or two sample scnerios. I wonder w ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I restore a database from a UNC?

  It appears that Management Studio will not allow you to perform a restore from a UNC path. Is this true or am I missing the option to open the magic UNC door I am very new to SQL2005 and this was buried in SQL2000, but it was possible to do in Enterprise Manager. Not to be snotty, but you didn't answer the question. Your point is taken, there are other ways to do this. I can use a script to restore from a UNC path. I am still interested in getting an answer to the question I posted, not to the underlying assumption that I am looking for any way to accomplish a restore from UNC. As a DBA, I do many operat ...Show All

• Visual C++ .net generic class or function parameters.

  I don't understand why is this not possible to pass an integer parameter to a generic class or function as for c++ templates. It seems to me that it's far easier than allowing type parameter resolved at runtime. Could someone please explain me if there is some practical reason for this and if there's a workarround for doing the same as templates but at runtime with integer parameters. thanks, Aurelien. The reason C++ doesn't allow non-type generic parameters is simply because it's not a feature supported by the Common Language Runtime.  My understanding is that generics were originally designed to faci ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't deploy Crystal Reports XI R2 web project on my local web server.

  Can't deploy Crystal Reports XI R2 web project on my local web server. This is my development PC. I was running Crystal Reports XI Developer. I uninstalled it. I installed Crystal Reports XI R2 after reading some posts. I successfully completed and ran a Crystal Reports XI R2 web report example within VS2005. I've followed all deployment tutorial examples for CR XI R2 to no avail. I've created deployment packages using the merge module CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msn with my keycode filled in. I've tried using Windows Installer with Prerequisites selected for Crystal Reports XI Release 2. I just have not been able to get this going. I ...Show All

• SQL Server Install SQL Server 2005 Express again?

  I posted this on the Visual Basic Express Edition forum but haven't gotten a reply inspite of 129 viewings.  I'm hoping for better luck here.  Here it is: When I installed VB 2005 Express, the installation process also downloaded and installed:       1)  .NET Framework 2.0       2)  MSDN 2005 Express       3)  SQL Server 2005 Express However, it seems to me that it has installed a very limited version of SQL Server 2005 Express!  All that the installation did was to put just the configuration shortcuts for SQL Server 2005 ...Show All

• Visual C# LsaQueryInformationPolicy

  Can anybody help with the declaration for using the LsaQueryInformationPolicy function available for use in C#, for example, to use the LsaClose API function after getting a handle to a policy you could use this: [DllImport("advapi32.dll")] private static extern long LsaClose(IntPtr ObjectHandle); A sample snippet where a policy value is retrieved would be perfect but not expected :-) I want to do this on a standalone box, that doesn't participate in a domain, so RSOP thru WMI is not an option since I am interested in the local machine policy.

• SQL Server Left Outer Join

  Hi All Dudes and Dudesses Please help... I've got Two tables, Problem and Breach, in DB Support. The main Table (Problem) has a primary key on field Number and I retrieve most of my data from this table but the other fields are irellevant. The Breach Table includes fields: Number & Keyword. I use an Left Outer Join to connect from Problem.Number to Breach.Number and retrieve the Breach.Keyword if any. If there's no records in Breach it still retrieves all the Problem.Numbers and that's great but when there's more than one Breach.Keyword for the Problem.Number I retrieve more than one record at this stage but I would only like to retr ...Show All

• Windows Forms Error 1324: The folder path 'n/a' contains an invalid character?!

  Hi all, I'm trying to build a setup application with Visual Studio 2005. Everything seems to work well, except when i run it, i got the error 1324: Error 1324: The folder path 'n/a' contains an invalid character. I really don't know what is wrong with it ! Any ideas ! Thanks ! Jonathan It seems that you try to create a folder, or access a folder called n/a , which is not possible since the slash (and the backslash) are invalid characters for folder-names and thus, they cannot be used to specify a folder - name. (Try to create a folder in Windows Explorer that's called n/a). Can't you debug ...Show All

• SQL Server Is there any way to decrypt the login info?

  Hi all. The new feature of login encryption still tortured me and my company's fellow :( We can't use the server's profile nor server's login audit functionality. The reason is.. they do not want any additional feature to the server even if it's just a small task. So.. I know that self signed certi generated whenever the MSSQL server started. My question is.. 1. Where is that self-signed certification. Is it loaded to memory or physical hard disk. 2. Is there any special 'store' for this self-signed certification I tried to find this certi from all of my store using the certutil.exe but couldn't find this certi. 3. Is th ...Show All
