• Visual Studio Express Editions Network Applications with VB2005 Express a few simple questions????

  Hi There, I know that this might sound like a foolish question but... I'm new to this programming so please bear with me  Here Goes... If I want to develop a client/Server application, like say a front end to look at a large database and deploy it out to many clients across a LAN (not an Internet solution) then can I do this with VB 2005 Express edition I know that the SQL Express edition cannot be deployed on the network server but If I were to develop the APP in VB Express could I then use SQL 2005 Standard edition or would I have to rewrite my code to connect this app up... or to put it another way,&nb ...Show All

• SQL Server Reference Dimension causing long processing times

  I have a reference dimension that is linked to a regular dimension that is linked to the fact table. For some reason, when I process the database with some small sample data, it take about 5 minutes to process, where it should take 10 seconds. I am using a reference dimension because it is a child-parent hierarchy, and I don't think I can merge it into the regular dimension. My work-around is to just include the link to this reference dimension in the fact table, so I can create the child-parent dimension as regular. Now is processes in 10 seconds. It doesn't seem ideal since I have what seems to me an unessary dimension now. If I turn &q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Network Not Found and/or Invalid Handle

  Oftentimes when performing a "Get latest version" operation recursively on a project, VSS 2005 Explorer will stop and display a "Network Not Found" op-up window and sometimes when I acknowledge this window, VSS Explorer will resume the get operation and some other times, it will display another pop-up; "Invalid handle" and stop. The VSS DB is configured to support the LAN and internet plug-in and the web.config file has been configured with a 3600 second time-out. Is there a way to configure (registry hack ) VSS Explorer to have a specified time-out value regards, Gaetan Simard ...Show All

• Visual C# I don't understand this code.

  I have a question about a line of code. I was looking at some code on how to implement ftp in .net 2.0 and saw this line of code. response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();   my question is, why is FtpWebResponse in parenthisies Usually you only see parenthisies when you use a method and place the arguments within them, if there are any. I also have a question about another line of code regarding the using statement. This next line of code is right below the previous line of code in the source code I was looking at. using (StreamWriter sw0=File.AppendText(log_path_success)) { sw0.WriteLine(fileInfo.Name); }   ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form not accepting keyboard input

  I've created a .net usercontrol and placed it on a .net form in a class library. Then I created a class called UI and added a method "ShowMyForm" which displays the form using a .show.

  Hi gang, My application requires a bunch of support files in the form of text files in subfolders beneath the exe. I understand that I can add a file to my project and flag it as "Content" so that it will be deployed via ClickOnce with the exe, but can I preserve folder structures by doing this For example, can I create a folder structure in my project, add "content" files to a subfolder, and expect those files to be deployed within that folder structure when the user installs the exe If this is not possible, does anyone have a suggestion as to the best way to deploy these support files Cheers, mabster Fil ...Show All

When open them from our project, after click the the type or member combo box on the top of teh editor window, VS2005 crashes.
