• SQL Server Distributed Transactions ?

  Hi There I realize this is probably a basic question or at least i hope so but i cannot get distributed transactions working. BOL is just driving me in circles. I am running SS2000, MSDTC is up and running on the server. I have added a trigger to a table where on insert or update the triggers fires and inserts a row to a remote server. When i execute the update or insert i get the error: Cannot start a distributed transaction. I have tried stating BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION before the update but i get the same error, i have also read up on SET REMOTE_PROC_TRANSACTIONS, but this is not a remote sp. Can anyone please reccomend a good link a ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I do this?

  Can I download Visual C# Express Beta 2 after I've downloaded Visual C++ Express Beta 2. I'm using C++ right now, I just don't know if it will work correctly with BOTH of them on my computer at the same time. Visual C# Express and Visual C++ Express can be installed both but only if they are the same version (both beta 2 or both final version). So if you have a beta 2 version installed you must uninstall it first then download the final version of this products (I don't think that you can still download a beta 2 version anymore since there is a final version available). ...Show All

• .NET Development Help with detecting a barcode scanner event

  Hi, I am a .NET programming newbie. It is my first time posting here so i apologize in advance if i got the wrong forum. If it is the wrong forum, maybe you could point me in the right direction :) I am developing a desktop Windows inventory application using the .NET framework. The user will be scanning barcodes into a TextBox on a Windows form. The barcode scanners that are used in the company are not programmed to automatically send a carriage return at the end of the scan. (I checked this in Word/Notepad and there does not seem to be an end of line character in there). Is there any way to detect when the user has finishe ...Show All

• Windows Forms Automating input to GUI screens in Custom Actions

  I created a Deployment project in VS 2005 that has a custom action. The custom action creates a windows form that has a couple of text boxes in it. The user fills some values (e.g., a database connection string, username) in these text boxes (which already have some default values), clicks OK, and the installation continues. Now, I want to install this application from the command line (using msiexec) without any input from the user. Effectively, I want the installtion process to "click the OK button by itself" when my custom action pops up the form. How can I achieve this without creating my installer again Thanks, Adrigo ...Show All

• Visual C# Cast string to variable?

  Is there a way to cast a string to a variable name In my code I need to instance classes on the fly. In psuedocode I want to do this: Variable KeyValue<x>; With <x> being replaced by an incrementing number on every call (so you might end up with KeyValue0, KeyValue1, KeyValue2, etc.). Is there any way to do this in C#  I recall a way in Pascal, but that was many years ago... It's OK, I've worked it out now. Got a few minor problems, but nothing I won't solve eventually. Thanks for all the help everyone! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Datagridview bound to empty table, esc edit fails on first row?

  Trying to understand how the Datagridview control works, I have bounded it to an empty table. If I begin edit of any field in the top row and "esc" the edit on this fisrt row I get an unhandled exception message "Current cell cannot be set to an invisible cell". My guess is, the control is trying to move to the row above the top row which, obviously, it should not. This occurs even if I do not have any code wathsoever in the events of that grid. Where do I handle this error Is this something that is happening on my box only or can this error be reproduced easily by others Of course, in many occasions, the tab ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Will more processor types be supported in the VS 05 release

  Hi - A question to somenoe 'on the inside': On the 'Platforms' panel we get: Instruction sets:    ARMV4  When the 'real deal' gets here, will there be some other goodies like     Mips and SH3... Thanks - John Yes, it's true for 2002, 2003, 2003SE and WM 05. This it NOT true for PPC 2000 (and older), but it's long gone. Custom CE can run on various processors as well. WM 05 is ARMV4I flavor, others are ARMV4. ARMV4I can run ARMV4 code directly. It is a common knowledge (though I work for Microsoft and know that first hand).
