• Visual Studio SourceSafe, VS.NET 2003 and Stored Procedure Versioning

  Hi, Any Help I am version controlling my stored procedures via .NET IDE & VSS. Background: ================== I have VS .NET 2003, Visual SourceSafe v6.0d and MS SQL Server 2000.

• SQL Server Query the Full-Text Words List?

  Hi Guys. I’m doing searches in a DB and am using the Full-Text Indexing. CONTAINS() will only process strings (words!) three letters or more in length. Even though it can do substring searching, it will only do this if it recognises the parameter as a word . So take this code for example:           Dim mySQLStatement As String = "SELECT TOP 100 Description, Price, Stock FROM Products W ...Show All

  Hello. I developed a COM object in Windows Vista Beta 5270 release which registered with Sync Center. I used as a model the sample code from Windows Vista SDK. It all worked fine until I installed the new 5308 release of Windows Vista. Now, the code fails when trying to register the dll. This is the sample code that fails: hr = CoCreateInstance (CLSID_SyncMgr,NULL,CLSCTX_SERVER,IID_ISyncMgrRegister,(LPVOID *) &lpSyncMgrRegister); if (SUCCEED ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF apps slow for some reason

  Everything is slow for some reason. I tried Max, and that ran decently (aside some weirdness I'll explain below), but I try running some of the sample code and other stuff I compile on Visual Studio, and it's unbelievably slow. I tried the samples here  on XamlPad... I can click on a button at a rate of about 2-3 times a second, and my CPU usage will jolt up to 100%. Most other sample applications run just as slow. Max runs okay, except tha ...Show All

• Visual Basic lost the import dll: error 126

  Please I need some help I keep getting a message, Import:dll missing or error ect. it says error 126, but I do not know how to re-install it if I can download it. Guessing here: do you have a Declare statement in your program that references "import.dll" If that is the case, you're working with a 3rd party DLL. You need to put it in a folder so that .NET can find it. Putting it in c:\windows\system32 would certainly work ...Show All
