• .NET Development How can I find my MAC Address?

  How can I find my MAC Address I currently running Windows XP SP2. Thanks if you just want to find it out, without doing so in code, then follow these steps: open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> "cmd" -> enter) type ipconfig /all [enter] For each Netowork adapter that you have, it will list the MAC address as "Physical Address". eg: Ethernet adapter Local Area - Loopback: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Loopback Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 02-11-22-AA-4F-33 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Addr ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express silent installation.

  I am writing an application that requires SQL Express to be installed alongside. So I try to do the following - Before installing my application, I pop-up a link which leads to "SQLEXPR.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLServer <other parameters> /qb " . But this displays only a basic GUI, which means that the pre-requisite checks for SQL express are not displayed to the user. So if MDAC version 2.8 is not present on the system the installation of SQLexpress fails without any error messages (except in the log files). ( This is not a problem with all pre-requisites :: If .NET is not present on the system, the failure ...Show All

• Visual J# tif image processing in J# browser control

  In java tiff and bmp image file processing is supported only in JIMI or JAI package. I want to convert my tif image processing java applet to J# browser control,but it can't use JIMI and JAI library. Does J# have any correspondent image processing library Because GDI+ can handle TIFF and BMP image, you can convert TIFF and BMP image into the other format using the classes in System.Drawing namespace. YUI, Visual J# 2.0 can compile Jimi source code except JPEG and Raster image feature, ie you can use Jimi with J#. But, I don't know license terms of Jimi allows to use it with WinFx or not. ...Show All

• SQL Server Click-through on graph bars and objects?

  Can you do click-throughs on Reporting Services 2005 Graphs whereas if I have created a dashboard somehow with 4 reporting services charts on our Intranet, that a user can click on a bar in the graph and it would drill down into an automated click-through report for that user By the way, I'm loving SSRS 2005, it rocks compared to Crystal! much easier and no more Crystal syntax! only VB.NET! can't get much better than that. ...Show All

• .NET Development Reflecting Database changes in existing dataset

  What are the steps to reflect changes to an existing table in the database, back into my project. Initially, i created my dataset with tables and it worked fine. I had to add another column to the table. I updated the database, and came to the "Edit in Dataset Designer" and tried to update those changes, but nothing seems change. I don't want to delete the existing table and re-add in my project, as I have many queries built for that table already. Whats the easiest way to do this I finally figured it out. Its not straight forward, but if initially you generate a dataset with a set of table(s), then make changes to the ...Show All

• .NET Development Do Microsoft Recommend using Windows Server 2003 for ASP.NET development?

  I am trying to convince our company to move to Windows Server 2003 as a day to day platform for development of our ASP.NET application, which will be deployed to this platform.  My reasoning is the differences between IIS 5.1 and 6.0, and the general principle that it is good practice to design and develop on the intended delivery platform.  I have had no problems using it myself, and I know a lot of developers use it, including Microsoft, but I can't find a statement on MS website which says they recommended in plain English, which is effectively what I need. Any pointers to said confirmation would be most apprecaited, I expe ...Show All

• Visual C# VS2005 Hidden Designer code

  Hi! I converted two old, rather big C# applications from VS2003 to VS2005. The new versions do not split my “forms” into “forms.Designer.cs” and “forms[Designer].cs” / “forms.cs”. It seams to me, I’ve got a spaghetti code: an automatic generated part and user developing part of code together in one file. As a result, it takes much moooore time to jump between the code and the form (layout), on the one hand, and contributes to get more “fragile” code with the automatic generating (VS2005 can refuse to design the forms if some errors happened appear in the user developing code), on the other. One thing more, the “f ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Synchronization between DataContexts

  How about synchronization of entities between DataContexts So that when an entity in one DataContext is changed and changes are saved to db (only after saving), corresponding entities in other DataContexts are also updated (unchanged fields) and notified about it. The same with loading of one entity; AFAIK, it is implemented already that before loading it is checked whether an entity is already loaded; this behavior can be extended with checking whether the entity is loaded in another DataContext.   There can be a class, say DataContextSynchronization which has 1)      a list of DataContext objects, which ...Show All
