• Visual Studio vs appears to be hung when doing a 'get latest version'

• SQL Server Certificate limitations in SQL Server 2005

  I have a Web site that has a database backend, which stores user information.  I would like to encrypt the user information in a granular way. My question:   Is there a limitation to the number of certificates that can exist in SQL Server 2005   I would like to issue a certificate for each user of my Web site, whereby the certificate is protected by the user's password (which I will not have access to -- the password will be stored as a one-way hash in the database).  The certificates will provide access to a symmetric key, which will decrypt row-level data pertaining only to a particular user.  The certificat ...Show All

  Hello there.

• Visual Studio Uninstall VS 2005, SQL 2000 broken

  Hi; I thought I got the VS 2005 Beta 2 uninstall correct - maybe not. After the VS 2005 uninstall - When I try and run SQL 2000 I get snap-in error (snap-in failed to initialize). I uninstall and when in the re-install of SQL 2000 the setup not really hangs but kind of ignores any input in the Authenication Mode dialog. To proceed through this I can only cancel this panel of the setup wizard. The setup appears delighted at this and goes on its merry way. (I would like to set the SQL Authenication password here - but I fear the previous SQL 2005 Express install may have something to do with this). The VS 2005 Beta was a clean install th ...Show All

• SQL Server Capturing and reporting execution errors

  We have a report subscription that emails an excel file every morning at 11am. For the past two mornings the subscription fails due to one of the parameters being null. This was caused by another programmer changing a stored procedure used in the report. What I'd like to know is how can I capture and report that the report failed to be produced. I have loaded the Execution Log sample reports and the relevant DTS package to load the logs is run every 5 mins. However, this error does not show up in the reports. The entries in the Report Server log file are as follows, ReportingServicesService!dbpolling!25a4!17/08/2005-11:00:12:: EventPol ...Show All

• .NET Development Backward compatibility of DLLs built using VC++ 2005

  We are having a dll backward compatibility issue since we migrated to .NET 2005. As part of our product, we build a dll which will be used by other products. Everything was fine when we were build it on VC6. We upgraded our compiler to .NET 2005 for our new version. The new dll fails to load, we get a runtime error: R6034. We managed to work it around by creating a manifest file for the loading executable, but this is not an acceptable work around. Is there a compiler flag that I can use to make it backward compatible Thanks and regards, Madhu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office What versions of Office 12 will support VSTO?

  As I understand things, VSTO is currently only supported by Office 2003 Professional (or the Word/Excel standalone editions). Office 2003 Standard and Small Biz editions do not support VSTO. Does anyone know if this will still be the case with Office 12 Or will all Office 12 editions support VSTO I ask b/c we are a small ISV that would love to do component based development using VSTO, but are afraid we will alienate a large percentage of our potential user base if VSTO continues to be unsupported on non-Professional versions of Office. Anyone have any info Hi This has not been determined yet. W ...Show All

• Visual C# Why this Winform compile error message

  I am just switching from VB to C#. I am creating my first little test app as a winform. I have run into an error message when compiling the application. It reads: Type name InvoicesDS does not exist in the type 'Invoices.Invoices' I have a form called Invoices and this error points to the Invoices.Designer.cs file. The line that it stumbles on is this.invoicesDS = new Invoices.InvoicesDS(); I have found a way around the problem by changing the line to this.invoicesDS = new InvoicesDS(); (taking out the word Invoices before InvoicesDS) When I do this and compile the application it runs fine. I can get around the problem by d ...Show All
