• Visual Studio Express Editions VB + SQL server vs Access

  I am very new to programming etc so I may be misunderstanding the situation, but my question is this: VB.Net Express is a programming language which comes with database functionality via SQL Server Express, whereas Access is a Database which is programmable via VBA. So, if one is developing a (fairly simple) database based application what are the pros and cons of using one set of software tools versus the other Thanks for any insights. Eric I never did program in VBA or VB6..... I do have a History though but History is History...... VBA, VB6, Access Data bases, Arrays, Etc. are History.... Why Persist ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project deletion in TFS Source Control

  I have created a (C#) web service project and stored it in an appropriate team project using TFS Source control. However things went awry during check in and I was left with some items checked in and some not. To cut a long story short, I deleted the web service project from source control, checked in the deletion and started over. Now I get errors complaining that 2 of the files in my project can't be checked in because they already exist. They clearly do not (or at least I can't see them). So, my question is what happens when you check in a deletion Does the item get deleted or just marked as deleted If the latter, is there a way of gettin ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Developer ed.

  I am trying to install 2005 on a new hard drive, running only Windows x64.  The processor is a AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2.02GHz, with 1GB RAM. When I click on setup.exe, I receive the following error message: The image file c:\SQLDEV\setup.exe is valid, but for a machine type other than the current machine. I chose the developer's edition as recommended by MS when installing on 64 bit Windows.  Any idea what's wrong Yeah, the confusion for some is that the 32-bit version can run both on 32-bit machines and in the WoW for x64 machines. But the reverse is not true. The two 64-bit versions are intended o ...Show All

• Visual C# Data Binding Architecture Question

  I am confused about the data binding architecture. As an example, let's say I have 3 classes: 1) an Employee class, which contains some basic properties, such as Name, Age, etc. This class employs the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. 1) the main WinForm class, which contains a series of TextBoxes. These TextBoxes are bound to an instance of the Employee class, by listening out for the PropertyChanged event. 3) Finally, I have a user control which contains an employee search facility, allowing a user to search for and select a new employee. The order of events will go like this: user selects new employee within the user control, ...Show All
