• SQL Server DTS with SQL Express

  We have build a conversion for our customers to convert their data from our existing database system to Microsoft SQL. We've tested it with MSDE and SQL Server 2000. We based this conversion off of 183 separate DTS scripts saved as VB 6 files. We then heavily customized them to produce a final EXE in VB 6 that our end-users can run. They answer a few questions and then poof, SQL database. Works great. Now enter SQL Server and SQL Express 2005. With no support for DTS in Express we expect out VB application will fail to execute. As 80% of our customers are MSDE/SQLExpress level customers, this is a real problem for us. What are my options her ...Show All

• SQL Server Distributed data synchronization - Comparing timestamp

  Hello, I am designing a distributed application where a central SQL Server 2005 database will need to be synchronized with remote SQLExpress databases via a WebService. Data can be edited at the cental db (by our connected applications) or on the local SQLExpress dbs running on the users machines (by this disconnected application). Now, how can I use the timestamp column to determine the most recent update. The most recent update to me is not the user that most recently invoked the syncing WebService, but the most recent time when the change was made to the data locally vs the change time at the central server. Because a user could mak ...Show All

• Visual C# Good VB.net to C# book

  Could somone reccomend a good VB.net to C# (2005) book I am interested, at this point, mostly in the basics. I need to migrate from VB.net to C# and would like to do so in the easiest, quickest and most understandable way. Any suggestions or help appreciated WoodrowS – Rather than try to find a personal Rosetta stone, why not just grab a C# book and start at the beginning Doing that will introduce you to new concepts (there will be some) that don’t have a direct translation from VB to C#. And you won’t get all of C# at once. My personal preference is C# Precisely by Sestoft and Han ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to open a form, collect user input from a second form that opens, then display the appropriate data on the original form?

  I am trying to develop my first multi-user program in VB. NET - a language that I don't know, in an object oriented environment which I know very little about. Yay. I have run into a couple of challenges that I am not sure how to approach and figured maybe some of you could point me in the right direction. Both of these issues are related to opening a form, prompting another form to open and gathering information, and then sending that information back to the first form. The first scenario: When I run the application, I have a menu of different screens. I select the "Benefits Management" screen (which has information about an emplo ...Show All
