• Smart Device Development Run an application on CF and the full framework with SQLCE

  Hi, Is it a easy way to write a application that will work fine on the CF and the full version of the Framework when using the Sql Mobile database Now WebServices and other parts works just fine with the same executable, but I get an error when trying toopen the Sql Mobile database from the full version framework. I guess I could write a seperate component for this, but I would like to know if there is a easier way of doing this. With the CF 1.0 version I had to create a seperate components for the WebService interface so this time I would like to just have the same projects for both the CF and the full framework.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Treeview question #4

  Hi Back again. This question is typed boolean :) I had problems when I click on the last node of a branch in treeview. This would invariably cause an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' error. To solve this, I wrapped the offending code in an 'Try...Catch exception' = No more of those errors. Question: Is doing this a 'cop out' If answer = True then why I had tried a number of other 'traps' to avoid the offending code being executed, but all those attempts were trying to use aspects of the same variable(s) etc which also caused exceptions. Having your code in a try catch block is always a good idea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions WSH in VB.Net Express????

  Hello, I'm trying to do multiple things that seem rather tedious and or difficult with VB.NET Express. Run part of the code as an administrator Read/write NTFS permissions on files/folders Map Network Drive I can do all of these fairly easily with VBScript and WSH. I was wondering if there is a way to access WSH from within VBScript or if it would be easier for me to have the VB program create the vbscript (WSH), run it, then delete it. Thanks Just an FYI, you're more likely to have all your questions answered if you split them up into different posts. For question #3 there are a couple different ways to do ...Show All

• SQL Server CLR Performance

  We had a CLR function that was running in seconds under the April CTP - now it takes over a minute in the new Sep CTP.  We've determined that the bottleneck is in the following line: Dim SqlConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection( "context connection=true" ) Is there a new recommended way to open a connection That looks right to me, and I'd be very surprised if it was simply the SqlConnection constructor that was causing this (otherwise everyone would be hitting it). Can you provide any more information Thanks, -Isaac ...Show All
