• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XAML Futures

  Is that possible to produce something like a main logo at: http://www.relate-software.com/uk/ using XAML I mean the shape itself and 3D effects as well Thanks. You could model a 3D shape like that shown. The rendering in WPF would be true 3D not the mock 3D shown. So the lighting would be more accurate in WPF, but require more hardware to perform well. For a single logo on a page it may not matter much, but on a 700mhz P4 like my wife uses for web browsing I would not want to use that for a simple logo. A pre-rendered bitmap would be a better solution for the web where you do not know what machi ...Show All

• .NET Development Removing element tag names during serialization

  Hello all, I have what appears to be a simple question but after quite a bit of research I can't seem to find an answer. Basically, I am serializing a class into an XML document.  This is creating a XML doc that includes the following: <Document:File> <buffer>JKDIDIEJ</buffer> </Document:File> What I would like to do, is to remove the <buffer> tags while serializing, so that only the data would be present.  Because of the structure of the pre-existing XML, I can't change buffer to just include it in the Document class. So is there a command, function, or the like that I can pass to the XMLWRite ...Show All

• SQL Server Alternate Synchronisation Partners

  Yes, I know synchronisation to alternate partners is deprecated in SQL2005 but.... In SQL2000 there is a Sync Partners tab in the publication properties dialog that allows you tick a checkbox for each co-publisher to be enabled as an alternate synchronisation partner. What is the equivalent in SQL2005 I've set up replication in SQL2000 following these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=321176 and it works. Now I'm trying to do the same thing in SQL2005 but I can't find a substitute for steps 10 & 11 in the section "Set Up the Alternate Synchronisation Partner". What's the answer Thanks in advance. ...Show All

  In a VB.NET app the user has ownership of the SServer 2000 database and can see and update data. However, the user is blocked from running code with a SQLCommand.ExecuteReader line in it. Does a user need any special security setup to run SQLCommand The only limitations would be related to whatever you are executing in the SqlCommand, not the fact that it's coming from SqlCommand. What does your CommandText look like, and what is the exact error message and call stack that you get Have you tried running Profiler on the SQL Server or checking the error log to see if any more information is available ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework - hotfix. Can I discard the original Framework?

  I don't know where else to post this, but I just received an automated update hotfix for my .Net Framework that is 1,114 megs...this is in addition to the original .Net Framework that is also 1,114 megs. That's taking up too much of my disk space. I'd like to remove one of them if I can, but I don't know anything about the pros and the cons. Can I just remove the original and use the hotfix in it's place Thanks, Paul The update was pushed to you via Windows Update because it was rated as an Important security update.  In general you don't want to disable accepting updates since it will leave your system vulnerable to attacks ...Show All

• SQL Server Issues while loading in parallel into a partitioned table

  Hi there,   We have a Fact table that gets loaded monthly with 410 Millions rows. We therefore, decided to create a partitioned table having its partition key the week_of_Year.   Process: performed using SSIS one package. We first load the data from staging in parallel using 4 different connections into 4 weekly work tables, about 108 Millions each; and during this process we perform all the lookups and transformations.   The next step we load from the 4 work tables into the partitioned Fact Table. We still use 4 different connections, and data flows that run in parallel to perform this task. However, if we ...Show All
