• Visual Basic Auxiliary file locations in VB 2005

  Compared with pre- .NET versions of Visual Basic, VB 2005 generates a number of additional files, mostly in project subfolders like Bin, My Project, and obj: .pdb, .resources, .cache, .vshost.exe files, and the like. So far as I can tell, they're auto-generated perhaps at build time, but because they reside in the folder tree with the source files the whole collection gets backed up, ballooning the backup unnecessarily. Is there a way to break out those files into another location separate from the source and form-design files you can set the build output path to a location outside of your project location. ...Show All

• SQL Server The REAL Warehouse Sample V6 database

  Regarding the code/db from the REAL project that just got released, I have no problem attaching the "REAL Sample V6" database, but the "REAL Warehouse Sample V6" database requires ENTERPRISE edition, because the default copy uses Partitioning (i.e. the PT version, although the document stated that the multi-table (MT) version is the default). I only have the STANDARD edition of SQL 2005, is there a workaround Appreciate any help. The developer edition provides the same features as the enterprise addittion if you can get your hands on a copy. Norman P. ...Show All

• SQL Server What are the implications for changing the remote distributor SQL server service details

  Hi, I am replicating a couple of SQL2K databases via transactional rep and remote 2K distributor to 1 SQL2K5 database. I want the distributor to email me when/if any of the agents fail etc. In order to set this up, I think that I need the SQL Server service to use a domain account (from error messages that I have been getting). It is currently using a local system account (it was a test box in a previous life). I have tried this briefly, and found that it lost the publisher details in the replication monitor. Can anyone tell me what the implications for changing the SQL server service user and password are Am I going to have to tear ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista OwnershipTimeoutSeconds

  Hi, Plese, could you tell me what exactly means this attribute. Regards: Jesus InstanceOwnershipDuration - This parameter is only useful if you have more than one runtimehost sharing the same persistence service and db. It is used to set an interval during which the instance can be locked by one of the host so that if another host tries to load the same instance it will get an exception. LoadingInterval: This parameter defines how often do you want persistence service to pull timers from the db. If it set to 5 sec, the service will pull db for expired timers every 5 sec.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WinFx - Convincing Clients to buy into it ?

  Hi, Firstly, many thanks for WinFx, it makes my life easier if only because i can create great looking, easier to use apps and clients love them, which means its easier to sell to them. but... I am finding resistance from my clients to adopt the perceived "Heavy weight" download overhead for WinFx applications, for internal systems i can set them up no problems, its just part of the install. but What about web based currently i am having to build Asp.Net apps instead because my clients know that they will run in "their customers" browser, as it boils down to .html & javascript, no problems.

• Windows Forms Combining VB6 forms with VB.Net forms

  Hi all,,, I have a project developed using VB6, and I want to add many other functionalites and forms to that project. Im thinking of developing the new forms and functionalities using VB.Net. The question is: can I combine the two environments for developing a single project, and if yes what is the side effects and the drawbacks Thank you Hi, I would recommend consuming the VB6 DLLs from a VB.NET application. That way. you have a .NET application which is talking to older COM dlls rather than having a COM based application that is talking to .NET DLLs. Here are some good articles to read for both approaches: Using .NET Assemblies Fro ...Show All
