• SQL Server Is SQL Server 2005 still using Named Pipes ?

  I keep getting errors.  It all started when I enabled named pipes on my SQL Server 2005 server.  Ever since then I've had connection problems up the butt. Most recently I got this error so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager Error: TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------ Cannot connect to BG-SQL2005. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to use CDO object with C#

  How to use CDO with C# to access calender data from the MS Exchange server. if possible provide example.. Hello all; Ok, here is the story... CDO 1.2.1 is not supported or advised to be used under any .NET thread. Same goes for anything MAPI. Watch-out for third-party APIs which do this under the covers - they are not supported. CDOEX should work fine - set a reference to generate an interop from Visual Studio. Note that you want to set the reference to CDOEX with no references to ADO already set - if you have done this, close the project after removing the references and kill the cdo and ado interops ...Show All

• SQL Server Good SSIS Example tutorial - User Variables

  Hi There I have read BOL extensively and gone to SSIS tutorial/example web links all day. Problem is the examples are way to simple. And the tutorials on BOL especially the DW warehouse example have no explanantion or step by step flow, and the others are to simple. I would REALLY appreciate it if some had a link or resource to a good complicated step by step SSIS tutorial/example. Or more specifically not a basic one, i am most interested in using variables to control flow, and the use of variables in expressions to set properties of a task. For example if i set a variable equal to a single result set in a sql task, how do i use that v ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Debugging program that won't start

  Whenever I try to start my program, I get a dialog box saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application". With the debugger, it does the exact same thing, giving me no opportunity to find out what is going on; if I try to break it once the dialog box is up, I get another dialog "Unable to break execution. Please wait until the debuggee has finished loading, and try again" The only vaguely informative piece of information is a message in the debug window: "Debugger: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load" ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting a list of computers on a network

  I'm writing an application that needs to get a list of computers (their names) on a network. The examples I've found all seem to query an ActiveDirectory on a server, which is not what I need. Is there a way to get a list of computers on a server-less network using the .net 2.0 classes I've done this before in VB6 using API's, so would I have to do that in C# 2005 using System.Runtime.InteropServices, or can it be done with System.DirectoryServices Thanks for any help with this.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Visual Studio Only?

  Is Visual Studio .NET 2003 or above going to be a requirement for MSN Search API developers   I know it's early yet, however that's the only SDK I see and there's no information indicating anything else will be available. I ask because some of us have been developing API's (Google, Yahoo!, eBay, Amazon, etc, etc) for a long time now.  You're going to be missing out on an awful lot of really good developers if you're going to have the requirement that everyone drop between $550 and $1800 for a software package we don't currently have and probably will not use for anything other than creating MSN Search API applications.&nb ...Show All
