• SQL Server Self refrencing tree hierarchies and CASCADE actions

  I've already filed a bug on this but it hasn't been picked up yet, so I'd like to get at least some discussion and feedback. I mean doesn't anyone think this is something usefull to have quote me: I've had a possibility to see SQLServer 2005 on a MS developer's PC and I made him try to create a table that can't be created with MSSql2000. As this kind of tree rappresentation (I think it's called adjacency list) is the most common way in Operations Research (many uses: networking, optimisations etc.) I think the DB engine should be able to support them. I don't pretend I understand why it may cause problems but it's a valid requirement. Stra ...Show All

• Windows Forms Where is sqlexpr32.exe?

  I have built a C# application that I'd like to distribute on CD with all prerequisites included on the CD so that the end user doesn't have to download any of the redistributables. They include .NET framework 2.0, Windows Installer 3.1, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. When I initially tried to publish with the "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application" setting, I was presented with errors such as: Error 5 The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'SqlExpress\sqlexpr32.exe' in item 'SQL Server 2005 Express Edition' can not be located on disk. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel SaveAs() method

  I'm having trouble saving a workbook. I show a SaveFileDialog, the user specified where he wants to save the file, and where. When the user clicks on Save button, I say SaveAs... and do something else with the file (after the file is saved). Anyway, that's what it should do. My code for saving is this: this.SaveAs(fileName, Excel.XlFileFormat.xlXMLSpreadsheet, missing, missing, false, false, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange, missing, false, missing, missing, true); It simply doesn't save the xls file. It doesn't throw any exception, but the file is not at the destination path. Does anybody have any idea why ...Show All

• Visual Studio Signing Assemblies with InternalsVisibleTo

  I have a number of assemblies that use the InternalsVisibleTo attribute. For example: MyProject\AssemblyInfo.cs [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("MyServices")] When I try to sign the MyProject assembly, I get an error: error CS1726: Friend assembly reference MyServices' is invalid. Strong-name signed assemblies must specify a public key token in their InternalsVisibleTo declarations." So, I add the PublicKeyToken value to the assembly name: MyProject\AssemblyInfo.cs [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("MyServices, PublicKeyToken=aaabbbcccdddeee")] This allows MyP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Files Excluded

It is the .csproj.user and .vbproj.user files that should never be che ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get local directory of a web service

  I swear MSDN gets a little more useless all the time, as I've searched the .NET documentation to no avail on this one. I've created a web service, and I need to get the local path to the webservice directory. For instance, my webservice is located at the usual C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebService. I just need to get this string dynamically (without hard-coding it) so I can save off some files there at runtime. I tried Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase, but that gives me the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" directory that my assembly gets copied off to. Thanks, AJ I know that in W32 you can use Ge ...Show All
