• Visual C# Typing in Visual Studio 2005 Text Editor is extremely slow

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. ...Show All

• SQL Server Encrypted data size by original size, algorithm ?

  I want to know encrypted data's size for designing database field size. For example, cardnumber varchar(20) Encrypted by Triple_DES and PassPhrase, How match size does need to encrypted data store field. I think the size does not depend to PassPhrase char length. Regards, Yoshihiro Kawabata The simplest way is to just encrypt the largest piece of data that you will store using the encryption algorithm of your choice and take note of the size of the resulting blob. That will be the size of the field. There is also a formula that allows you to compute this, but it also includes the size of a header which might expand in future v ...Show All

• Visual Studio Why isn't there a "no filter" option in dexplore?

  Dexplore Express beta 2. For Visual C#/C++/WebDev (and probably SQL/J#/VB) Express. I can't seem to find the "no filter" option for Document Explorer. This means I must browse the indexes and contents using a filter. In VS 2003, you had the option of not having a filter so you could see all the topics in the help collection. However, for VS2005, there is no way to see all the topics. To workaround this, I have to use FAR to add my own filters, because the edit filters option seems to be missing too. The Beta 2 Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions shipped with an issue that prevented the .NET Framework API reference ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactions in NS API (Found a way to do it)

  As the topic says I found a way to give notification services API the ability to do transactions. This is accomplished by using DTC transactions. Given that the API just boils down to some SQL call and SQL is DTC aware it will take advantage of the current transaction. Thanks Wayne Sepega ...Show All
