• SQL Server what is [SQL-DMO]

  in computer management, when i expand the branch of my sql2005 express, i got a error message. it seems i cant register my server, but i cant login in sqlcmd i also installed sql2000, and it works fine... could anybody help really strange This will never work.  You need to use Management Studio (full or Express) to connect to SQL Server 2005.  We have a bug file on our side to determine why the server is being registered.  If we fix the server registration problem, you still will not be able to connect to SQL Server 2005 through this means.

• Visual Studio Team System How to retrieve published data from TFS

  hi, i have published some test results. how i can retrieve those results from TFS programmatically, for future use and references to validate unit test. When you publish test results with TFS, you publish them against a particular team build.

The same should be available programatically also. -Munjal ...Show All

• Visual C# Filtering SqlDataAdapter.Fill

  Hello. I was wondering if someone could shed a light on this. When the startrecord and maxrecords parameters are passed to the Fill function of a SqlDataAdapter, where does the filtering of rows take place If the command passed to the function is for instance "select * from Table" and that table contains a million rows, but I need 10 rows, starting from the 20th, are all the rows brought back to the client, or does the filtering of rows take place on the server , so that only the 10 rows I want need to be moved over the wire best regards, FAC Fire up Sql profiler and examine t ...Show All

• Visual Basic How does VB compare to C# part 2

  I am sorry but my question was NOT answered at least not technically. But, what is clear is that there is a lot of strong feeling against VB's syntax that does not exist against C#. Several post indicated that they would not hire a VB programmer unless they programmed in C# syntax. I really find that disappointing. I thought the purpose of the framework having several syntaxes was to promote choice for the developer and make that choice seamless to the end user. But I am not certain MS is committed to that point. Several conferences that I have been too, the audiences has shouted down examples in VB and insisted they be presented in C ...Show All

• Windows Forms Autoscroll issue at design time.

  when i set the Form.Autoscroll property to true, and scroll the slider to somewhere. then i drap /drop a control on form. the issue comes that it's not placed on the point where i droped it. obviously it didn't count the scrollposition . also if i set a big image which out of the border of the form to the BackgroundImage property ,when i scroll the slider the backgroundImage doesn't move at all . i do think it's a bug of VS Designer. or just i am ignorant; any help is great appreciated.   Alan Hi, Can you provide some more info on the Drag-Drop scenario We do take the scroll position into account.

• SQL Server Creating report based on parent-child dimension

  Hi I have a problem to create a report based on a parent child-dimension When I go to reporting services, and I create a new report based on a cube, I drag my parent-child dimension to my data-layout. Then the dimension is immediatily ragged down. Anyone an idea to solve this. Hello Robbert, I have good news for you!

Insert a new row below the table group 2. the row should have a small height (say 0,1cm) 3. Select the entire row and set the "hidden property" of " ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reuse code without VSS

  How can I share source code modules and classes accross projects in different solutions without VSS As a one person developer who needs to share code accross projects I hamfistedly did it in VB 2003 by Add Existing then using Save As to put it back to the folder it came from. This does not convert well to VB 2005 so how should it be done Johan, Excellent! I really had struggled to find this. I'd read about Links but failed to implement. My method effectively did it in an awkward fashion and looked the same on the Properties but just didn't convert to 2005. Thank you very much! ...Show All

• Visual C# Print all files within a Solution?

  I would like to print all the files in a Solution.  Is this possible   Or rather, is this relatively easy The solution contains multiple projects and each project consists of multiple files.  To print each file individually would be very tedious. I can't seem to find a Print All Open Documents or any such thing.  The only Print option seems to be for file currently active in the IDE. Any hints Cheers I'm sorry to tell you it is not possible. We are considering adding this feature for our next release. It would be cool if you open a bug about this :) http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/produc ...Show All
