• SQL Server SSMS Express: Create TABLE & INSERT data into table - Error Msgs 102 & 156

  Hi all, I have SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMS Express) and SQL Server 2005 Express (SS Express) installed in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft Windows NT 4 LAN System. My Computer Administrator grants me the Administror Privilege to use my PC. I tried to use SQLQuery.sql (see the code below) to create a table "LabResults" and insert 20 data (values) into the table. I got Error Messages 102 and 156 when I did "Parse" or "Execute". This is my first time to apply the data type 'decimal' and the "VALUES" into the table. I do not know what is wrong with the 'decimal' and how to add th ...Show All

• Visual C# SQL fails to be recognized by Visual C# Express 2005

  I recently installed Beta 2 of VCSE and also the SQL Server Express Edition, and after being unable to complete some tasks I required that SQL Express couldn't handle, I decided to uninstall it, and install my copy of SQL Server 2000 Dev on the machine instead. Now, VCSE fails to recognize the SQL Server that I installed, and when using the "Add New Connection" Wizard, I am unable to connect to the correct server. If I click on Advanced, the DataSource field is set to .\SQLExpress, and I am unable to change it. Is there some way to correct this issue Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ^_^ Hi all, ...Show All

• Windows Forms invert rows & columns

  Hey Guys, I have a question that's been bugging me for the last two days. I have a datagridview that I'd like to display as follows - i'd like the rows to be shown as columns, and columns to be shown as rows. That way, the user can enter data from left to right, as opposed to top-down. This doesn't seem too complicated, and I would think there might be a simple toggle-like functionality somewhere to enable this Any ideas best, Shiney Manually build the DataSet/DataTable. I would populate a DataSet / DataTable as normal, i.e. rows = rows and columns = columns. Then in a bus ...Show All

• Windows Forms Serialize a forms region?

  Hi, I've been using the excellent clipping class written by Brian Yule to set your forms region to a bmp, png etc on load. It can create some cool looking skinned forms etc. This works great, but I'd like to be able to serialize the region that's created so I can load it directly from file. (There is a time overhead when scanning the bit ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista When designing WF by xoml-only file, we can have a VS-generated code-beside.

  Hi, I just made a workflow console app project (using Beta2.0) and deleted default .cs files and add a single .xoml file (just add a text file and change its extension to .xoml). So, assume this is a xoml-only (test.xoml) and I just simply added a code activity to the workflow by coding xoml like this. <SequentialWorkflowActivity x:Class="test.Workflow1" x:Name="Workflow1" xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/workflow "> <CodeActivity x:Name="codeActivity"/> </SequentialWorkflowActivity> Now I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Advice: Need your design advice for outlook addin

  I'd be grateful for any design advice regarding an VSTO Outlook add-in I am trying to build. When the user starts Outlook, I want to have a default form (perhaps replacing the default "blank" email space) where the sender enters some information and the email is then generated for them - where the sender can continue to edit the mail from that point. I know how to create a dialog upon loading a "new" email and then generate the final email - but I was hoping it could become part of the default email form they could use. Can you please share a few design steps ideas that would do accomplish this Maybe there is ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Layered window and opacity window again

  Hi, I wish you have read Nick 's new post My favorite February CTP featur e. As I thought, I now can create a layered window or opacity window with Feb CTP release according to the description in the article.But I find there is little introduction in detail about HwndSource and something related. So I am not sure whether my guess is right. Any advice Ok, so it seems that we finally have nice transparent windows to display! How can we display the window modal I know that when coding using the Windows API in the old Visual C++ days you had a flag bit you could set (SW_MODAL or something) to call the window modal, or you had a ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unverifiable Assembly Error

  My application is a vb,net 2003 web service application. About 1.5 years ago, I got some help from MS support for adding autoproxy detection to my application. This consisted of 2 c++ projects called autproxy and GetIEProxy. These rountines helped my application to determine any proxy servers that needed to be addressed in my web calls from a client computer. This worked fine for a while but now I am starting to have problems such as "unverifiable assembly" errors on some installations but not on others. Its very confusing but I think the problem is being caused by the old c++ routines. I am aware that 2.0 of the Framework now ...Show All
