• SQL Server Mirror Operating Mode change problem

  I am unable to change the mirror operating mode on a test database mirror I have set up. I installed (from MSDN) the RTM SQL 2005 Std Edition and applied SP1, then set up a mirror, which works fine but only on High Safety mode. I want to use High Performance mode, but the operation mode radio buttons are greyed out for me in the mirror properties page. Also, I tried running: alter database TestDB set safety off and recieve the error: Msg 1473, Level 16, State 6, Line 1 This SQL Server edition does not allow changing the safety level. ALTER DATABASE command failed. Are the various mirror modes not supported on the Std edition or am I overloo ...Show All

• Visual Basic ListBox as an argument

  Here is one for the group. Can a list box become an argument, ie. ListBox(21) ListBox(22) My problem is that I have several list boxes with data. I need to compare ListBox1 with ListBox2 and 3 and so on. It would be so much easier to use a variable like ListBox(x) as the list box number. Thanks, rmc The easiest way is to create an array of the TextBox type and add your TextBoxes to it ala: 'Create a 10 TextBox long array Dim TextBoxes(10) As TextBox 'Add new TextBox at array index 0 TextBoxes(0) = New TextBox() 'Add new TextBox at array index 1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) sugegstions for anonymous types

  As it stands, its not possible to create structs using the anonymous type mechanism. Its also not possible to create immutable anonymous types. Id like to suggest the following syntax: // a mutable anonymous class var a = new { X = 1, Y = 2}; // a mutable anonymous struct var b = new struct { X = 1, Y = 2 }; // an immutable anonymous class var c = new readonly { X = 1; Y = 2}; // an immutable anonymous struct var d = new readonly struct { X = 1; Y = 2}; One thing also to keep in mind is that this is purely a C# matter. Other languages may deal with anonymous types if they so choose, and may do so with different rules. Go ...Show All

• Visual C# RaftingContainer upgrade to Beta 2

  I don't even know what a rafting container does.  I assume that it was automatically added to my forms when I added some other controls.  Now when I upgraded to Beta 2 it is obsolete and I need to change to ToolStripContainer I think. I have top, bottom, left, and right RaftingContainers, what are they there for thanks for looking, dave Well, I think it is something left over from playing around with different controls.  I commented out every line that contained RaftingContainer and I don't notice any difference in my app. Thanks for the information. dave ...Show All

• Windows Forms Webbrowser control with Flash Website problem - PLEASE HELP

  Hello, I've got a VS.NET 2005 (VB.NET) Winform App that has a webbrowser control on it. I can open a web site just fine with it and can even open websites that utilize flash just fine. The problem is this:  After clicking around for a VERY brief time inside of a flash file within the webbrowser control, the mouse clicks don't seem to work inside the flash movie.  They work for a little while, but very soon after, quit working.  Mouseover events in the flash file seem uneffected.  To remedy this, I must click outside of the flash movie (still inside the webbrowser control) then clicking withing the flash movie contin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Serialization Problem

  Hi to all, I have been using beta 2 bits for a couple of days and trying to upgrade my project with the new stuff.

• Visual Studio Team System Website Branching

  Hi all, I was wondering if any of you have run into a similar problem and can help. We're trying to branch a website project for a QA release.  When we branch it, and then open the solution, it seems to still reference the original codebase.  Is there something special you have to do to get a working branch for websites in particular   We need to be able to do QA bug fixes without introducing code from our mainline release. I appreciate any assistance, links or advice that you can offer.  Best Regards, -Mark The RC is not the final RTM build, but it's certainly supported ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge replication failing after recreating the publication

  I am having a problem with merge replication after recreating a publication. It is a simple two-way replication between two servers allowing applications to update data at both ends, i.e. 1 publisher, 1 subscriber for all tables except some junk ones. The problem started after I did the following: 1) I dropped and recreated the publication to allow for some changes to the database schema. These caused problems so I dropped the subscription and publication and restored the databases at each end from backups taken before we started. 2) When I created the publication again, it wouldn't let me use the same name as it thought the publicatio ...Show All

• SQL Server How to display milliseconds as part of datetime field?

  When I execute the following query: SELECT EntryDate, EntryName, CONVERT(datetime, EntryDate, 121) AS LongEntryDate From Entries ORDER BY EntryDate LongEntry is displayed in the format of "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AMPM".  My understanding is that the formatting code 121 (also tried 21 and 113) is suppose to be in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM". I'm using the June CTP of SQL Server 2005, and executing the query via the Database Explorer in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2.
