• Visual Studio Express Editions Strange string problem in vb?

  I am currently making a program that reads the ID tags from an MP3. Here is my problem or an example of my problem. Lets say I have the artist showen in a msgbox and the song title showen in a seperate msgbox like so: msgbox(artist) msgbox(song) The msgbox will appear and show the correct info. But lets say I do something like this: msgbox(artist & " - " & song) it will ONLY show the artist, but this doesn't happen all the time, depending on the MP3 that is read, it will display just as I want... What I really want to know is what can cause it to not display the rest of the string like I want it t ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How can you force Closing PIM.VOL on Magneto??

  We are working on a backup solution for backing up the PIM information on a WM2005 device and I can not find out how to have the background services to release the locks on the PIM.VOL (EDB) - I can copy the file over to another file name but I can not replace the file as the file is locked. I have tried several Mount, Delete, etc operations.  I have even tried replacing the contents of the EDB database on a per record basis but the "Dirty Bits" (replication) all get set and I have already been informed that alteration of the Replication Bits were not implemented in WM2005 - I a stumped and needing help in a very bad way!! ...Show All

• SQL Server Specified SQL Server not found for connection to SQL Server 2005

  We have an application server running Windows Server 2000 with Sp4. When we use the ODBC data sources connection software, it shows the SQL Server 2000 servers in the drop down box, but none of the new 2005 servers. If we enter the 2005 server name and try to connect, we get the 'Specified SQL Server not found' error message. The connection works fine from a newer Windows XP box and remote connections is enabled. My guess is that we need a new ODBC to connect to SQL Server 2005, but I can't find anything that says this. When you enter the SQL 2005 server name, the format is <machinename>\<instancena ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server pricing

  If this is not the best place for this question perhaps someone can direct me to the right place. Please do not send me to a knowledge base article as this does not really help. I come from a Sybase background. I have the potential to direct various companies that need client/server applications to SQL Server but it is not clear to me (even vaugely) what it is going to cost them. These businesses have maybe 20 to 50 PC's that might need to access data on a SQL Server database. This will almost always be done through an application like Visual Studio .NET. The number of people that will actually need to go into SQL Server Management Studio ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Use of OperationContext.Current for duplex

  Hello In all the samples of duplex the callback is set using OperationContext.Current inside a method called by the remote application. However, this approach requires the client to initiate a call a method on the service before the service can use the callback to send messages to the client. How can I enabled the service to send messages to the client using the callback after the client connects, but BEFORE the client sends anything Simple: store the callback reference somewhere (a linked list, a delegate, etc) and have "someone" on the service side invoke that list at will.

  I'm writing some tool for analysing of Compact Framework.NET libraries and for comparing CF with desktop .NET Framework. But i've got this exception while trying to load types from "mscorlib.dll" of CF.

But "mscorlib" does not references other assemblies!
