• Visual Studio Visual Studio Beta 2 fails with error

  Hi I had earlier tried to install VS 2005 Beta 2 and it had failed due to some unknown reason. While trying to repair the VS 2005 Beta 2 Architect Edition, i can successfully install the .NET Framework 2.0 and restart. However, while installing MSXML 6.0 Parser in the next step, the setup stops and asks for locating the CD that contains runmsi.exe. The DVD doesn't seem to have the file and hence I have to abort the installation. A search on my local machine did not yield any such file on my hard disks. i have already run the clean install tool mentioned earlier on this forum at: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=17416 I ...Show All

• Visual Basic replacement for winsock

  i have an application in vb6 which uses the winsock component to communicate over the internet. I wish to port the application to vb express, but cannot find a replacement component for winsock without going to APIs. Is there a simpler way to connect to the internet and is there some sample code somewhere I can try. Thanks Dick R. .NET has native implementation for socket communication - no external files are required. The namespace of interest is the System.Net.Sockets : this contains most of the objects required for socket communication. The online and built in help has extensive descriptions and s ...Show All

• Windows Forms Decoding Directory table in MSI database

  Hi, My objective is to read the MSI database and find what files will be copied to which directory. So I read through the table Directory and tried to identify the records in Directory column. And from the url given below I was able to decode the table. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/using_the_directory_table.asp But the issue was the directory column has system defined properties like ProgramMenuFolder, SystemFolder. But some table has entries like ProgramFilesFolder.D1C3218F_E1F5_4b1f_AE6C_6FBB1D637AEE. So I am not sure why this is happening and some case it has underscore in between, ...Show All

• SQL Server Fit dataset on one page

  Hey guys, Let's assume I have dataset with two columns (A,B) and it has 100 records. I'd like to split this dataset on the same page with 25 records in every column. Side by side. Example: ColA ColB ColA ColB ColA ColB ColA ColB 25 rec 25 rec 25 rec 25 rec What should I use and what properties I have to play with Thanks. Just a quick drop answer: - I asume regular column format does not work for you because you want  balanced columns and RS gives you unbalanced ones. - I asume you have a static format= always 100 records, always 25 records/column, or alike.
