• SQL Server Errors adding a column in 64-bit version

    I have run into an interesting problem.  I have some code that adds a column to an existing table.  The column is set as primary key, identity and clustered.  On the 32-bit version of SQL 2005 it works fine.  It fails on the 64-bit version of 2005 intermittently with a "could not create unique index because duplicate values were found".  Kind of odd, considering as an identity field it's creating the values.  I was able to recreate the problem with the following schema: Create table test1 ( col1 varchar ( 20 ), col2 varchar ( 20 ), col3 uniqueidentifier default newid ()) ...Show All

• Visual Basic How can I change all images in all pictureboxes?

  Hi everyone, I was wondering if there was a way to change all the image properties of a number of pictureboxes on a form in a simple way. I used to use the following code for textboxes: Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To Me .Controls.Count - 1 If Me .Controls(i).GetType Is GetType (TextBox) Then Me .Controls(i).Text = "" End If Next But the same doesn't work for pictureboxes. I did try: it ends up with an error.. Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To Me .Controls.Count - 1 If Me .Controls(i).GetType Is GetType (Picturebox) Then Me .Controls(i).image = nothing E ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is it possible to shell an application seamlessly?

  I need to be able to run an application such as notepad or calc in the same way that I can start a browser inside my VB app ie. make the spawned program appear to be just another window in my program. Has anyone done this before   This isn't what's happening. The Webrowser control has been supplied as a wrapper for the Active-X webbrowser and you are using that. There are no such analogs for the utilties you mentioned.     ...Show All

  I hd Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition installed. I also have Visual Studio 6. Now when I open Visual Basic 6 I get this message: "Please wait while Windows configures Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition -ENU". I no longer have this installed nor do I have the installation files.

All to no avail. Any suggestions as to how I can eliminate t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why DLINQ puts all fields in SQL-WHERE clausule on UPDATE?

  Hello all! When I update some persisted object, DLINQ always puts all fields in SQL-WHERE clausule but the Identifier field is setted with: [Column(Id = true , AutoGen = true , DbType = "INT NOT NULL IDENTITY")]   Why DLINQ do not put just a identifier field restriction Tanks! Vitor The default update behavior for DLINQ is optimistic concurrency. This means DLINQ does not take write locks to keep others from changing the underlying data while your code is working with it.  Instead DLINQ optimisticly assumes no one else will be changing it.  DLINQ verifies this when issuing an update command by ...Show All

• SQL Server IE Refresh Problems with WebParts

  I am noticing delays in the refresh of my webparts (Sharepoing 2003) page in conjunction with how the report looks in my Report Manager for SSRS 2005.  I have my Cache set to refresh on every page visit and my cache set to the lowest at 1 mb in IE....but when I refresh in my Webpage in Sharepoint, sometimes I have to completely close IE out...and even doing that and reopening IE doesn't always refresh the changes reflected in Report Manager right away. What is this, a bug just simple changes to the report itself.  I think the problem ended up being at least so far, the old IE nonsense where it's still caching even tho ...Show All
