• Visual C++ Question regarding removal of Windows driver service

  Hi All, I'm not sure this is the place for my question, but I'll give it at try, I'm brand new at this forum.

• Windows Forms How to set the setup info of SQL Server Express Prerequisite

  In MSDE, I can edit the setup.ini to control the setup parameters like InstanceName, sa password..etc.  How can I do this if I install SQL Server Express as a prerequisite in VS 2005 Thanks Hi there, If you need a list of all the arguments which can be passed to sql server express setup file, you need to extract the sqlexpress.exe file somewhere and in the root of the folder look for a file named template.ini :) You will be surprised, cause you'll find all the arguments with long comments which show how to use them.

I would like to do this in a loop and the problem that I am running into is that I cannot figure out how to dynamically reference an existing resource.  This is an example of what I think the code should look like.  I was thinking that I could create a button resource ...Show All
