• SQL Server Is (local) really local?

  I have one outstanding problem to address before I can ship my product. In all my searches, I have not seen this problem mentioned. It seems that you guys are my last hope. Sorry if it has already been asked and answered. When connecting locally to a named SQL 2000 instance (SP2, SP3, SP3a, and SP4), I am noticing a lot of network traffic that I can't explain. It happens on every machine I've tried. Here is the setup: Conn. String Server name "(local)\InstName " SNU has no network protocols enabled (DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1) CNU defined with TCP, Named Pipes, and Shared Memory, etc. Network cable plugge ...Show All

The name of displayed item is called "[0]", "[1]", "[3]", "[4]", etc, in Array they are sorted with the number in the brackets, but in Generic List converted with my TypeConverter they sort with string like "[0]", "[1]", "[10]", "[11]", "[12]", "[13]", "[14]", "[15]", "[2]", "[3]", "[4]", "[5]", " ", "[7]", " ", "[9]". //The code below is the TypeConverter I wrote, it's almost like ArrayConverter. public class ClassCollectionConverter : CollectionConverter {  public override PropertyDescriptorCollection Ge ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Strange behaviour retrieving field from Access DB

  Hi all, I'm retrieving a field from an access db (mdb file). This field is an int32 autoincremently. After read this data I put it in a combobox. The strange situation is this: when I look the list of combobox I don't see the number in sequential order, but first 1827 is correct, next one is 2005. After some range starts again 1828 until 2005. (Number goes until 6859) I don't understand why this could happen. I thought the problem could be some optimization of the compiler, but the properties of the project is not set with optimization options. The code is following String ^sql=gcnew String("SELECT numero FROM ESTRAZIONI;"); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Runtime Accepts HandleExternalEventActivity Events Out of Sequence

  I am new to WWF and trying to model a simple call tracking application with a sequencial workflow. The first activity of the workflow is to wait for user input concerning the nature of the call (e.g. customer name). The second activity waits for the closure of the call. I have modelled this as a sequetial workflow with two activities. The first activity is a HandleExternalEventActivity activity and handles the receipt of the customer information - Activity #1. The second call is also a HandleExternalEventActivity activity and handles the closure of the call - Activity #2. The behaviour that I am seeing is that the workflow engine allows for ...Show All
