• SQL Server Select by row number?

  Hello all, I am using SQL 2000 SP4. I have a table with a studentID column. Is there any way to select a single row of data from that column by referencing the row number ex. select studentID from Table where row = 2 The above example obviously does not work, but is there a way to do something similar I want to go down the table sequentially and knowing any of the data in the other columns does not help me with that at all. Any help is appreciated, thanks FOR SQL 2k5 you can use the row_number function: WITH Students AS (SELECT StudentId ROW_NUMBER() OVER ...Show All

• Smart Device Development This thing just broke my VS2005 emulator

  I an running VS2005 Team Edition for Developers. All my emulators were working fine until I installed this thing. Now when I click on Tools > Device Emulator manager, I get a message saying "The system cannot find the file specified. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, and deleting all the files and folders that this NG suggests I should, but all to no avail. What can I do To get yourself going again, look on the VS 2005 install media for a "wcu" subdirectory. Inside there, you'll find the emulator's installer, vs_setup.exe. Running it is much more efficient than runn ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework 2.0 question

  I appologize in advance if some of my  questions to the forum is a little out of place. I am not a programmer or developer, just a gamer, system builder, and network administrator of a home network. After installing .NET Framework 2.0, Direct X9.0c's Diagnostic shows that one of the two system.dll files is missing. The one that is listed belongs to 1.1, so logic dictates that it is the one for 2.0 that is missing. However it is in the .NET 2.0 folder! Some other symptoms are that logging into .NET sites must be done manually (being signed in with MSN Messenger does no good), and Auto-Scroll function for IntelliPoint 5.2 does no ...Show All

• Visual C# Error CS0554. user defined conversion to/from derived class

  I have come across a most peculiar compiler error. When I try to define a cast operator to convert from a base class to a derived class I get this error - apparently according to the help "User-defined conversions to values of a derived class are not allowed; you do not need such an operator." Is this as insane as it appears to be or am I missing something somewhere Of course I need to define a cast operator, how else can the compiler know how to create a derived type from a base type Any explanations appreciated. Dave Interesting thought. I'll need to look back and check on the code and see if there are any ...Show All

• .NET Development VS 2005 hardwa AMD or Intel?

  I have VS 2005 Beta2 installed on my P4 2,4MHz machine and now I'm planning to buy a new machine with x64 processor. Can anyone suggest what to buy: Intel or AMD chip. Which is better for VS Regards Go with AMD, they own the x64 instruction set and the OS was built against their processors. Intel have licensed x64 from AMD and built their own processors. Personally I see no reason at all to use Intel, unless their some significant price/perf reason, Intel had nothing to do with x64 other than entering into a license arrangement with AMD.

• .NET Development Two-way communication using IPC

  Hello, I've been reading up on IPC and looking at sample code, and I can't seem to figure out how to actually accomplish communication from a client to a server. I understand the concept of a server hosting a dll which contains a method that the client can call. However, how can the server also obtain a reference to the same object I want the client to be able to send a message that makes it to where the server can use it. To clarify my question, the examples I've seen so far have been like this: Server creates a channel exposing Class A. Class A contains a handy-dandy method that can multiply two ints. Client creates a channel to be able to ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom component seems to un-register itself?

  I've run into this a second time now. I'm hoping for some resolution AND guidance for proper build, save, etc. protocols in BIDS. I've coded a custom component, included post-build procedures to add it to the GAC, selected it from the "Choose Items..." menu, and successfully added to a data flow. I've then been able to succesfully debug it. This was all Friday afternoon. I shut down my BIDS session(s) and called it a week. This morning when I open BIDS, I get the following error when I attempt to add it to a data flow task: TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ The component could not be added to the Data ...Show All
