• SQL Server Directly editing data in results pane with SQL 2005 Management Studio

  In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, one was able to edit and commit data on-the-fly directly from the results pane.  Action->Open Table->Query with the SQL Pane shown gives you an interface similar to Query Analyzer.  One could write a complex select statement with where clauses and joins, and the results pane would show the resulting data.  The data is editable and instantly updated.  We are now planning to migrate to SQL 2005 , and so will need the same capabilities that were availiable from its predecessor.  I believe there to be an option/configuration setting or panel in Management Studio that would expose thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to disable the space bar in maskedTextBox?

  I have a masked text box of an IP address. the mask is set as 099.099.099.099 and it allows user to enter space bar.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Error refencing DLL in XLA

  Hi ! I have prepared an MSI Installer for my XLA to be deployed on the server, the MSI contains all the DLL referenced by the XLA. The MSI runs fine but when I try to open Excel on that server it gives me a reference error, I have to *explicitely* go in VBA Editor and set the reference for the erroring DLL, after that the XLA works fine. The strange thing is that in the MSI I have set the path to D:\ Prog Files\... but strangely the MISSING reference in the Refernce dialog box shows C:\Prog File \.... Can this be because the server registry has not been cleaned up or perhaps there are more than one DLL registered Do we need to Unin ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating new tables using DataSet....

  Hi All, I have one datatable in my dataset that is not in my DB. I want create this new table using DataSet. Is it possible to create a new table via DataSet using ADO.Net concepts. If possible means how to do this I don't want to use SQL create statement. Thanks in Advance, Arun Hi, The only way to do this is to connect to your database using a connection object and execute a script that would create the table using a command object. You must use the CREATE TABLE t-sql to create tables. Search the BOL for reference on how to use CREATE TABE functionality...     cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All
