• Visual Studio Express Editions Tool Strips, Text Box Focus and Accept Buttons

  I'm working on a program that uses the Tool Strip to access data in my dataset. First, I'm trying to save keystrokes by having the cursor start focus( ) in the text box of my tool strip, so I can start typing without having to mouse click there first. Any suggestions Second, on the Forms property there is the property to choose a button to execute when the Enter key is pressed. I'm unable to figure out how to set that so the button on my tool strip will execute when the Enter key is pressed. Any suggestions I have to access the stuff in real time, quickly, so I'm trying to save every keystroke I can. Eventually, I intend to go to s ...Show All

• SQL Server How to edit a custom property on an external metadata column

  I am using external metadata columns in a destination data component to match sharepoint fields to input columns.  I want to add a flag that the user can set to specify if a column is a lookup column (indicates that the component should look for a list item with the specified input column value, and do an update if the item already exists).  I added a custom boolean property to the medata column, but the property editor does not allow me to edit the column.  It appears to be enabled, but when I choose a value other than the default, the editor immediately replaces the value I chose with the default.  How do I set ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom text markers in VS2005 beta 2

  Hi All, We have a weird problem with custom text markers under VS2005 Beta 2 (8.0.50215.44). <br> Our AddIn registers about 30 custom text marker types. We tested it under VS2005 and, seemingly randomly, some of them work and some do not. What happens is that markers do appear in the editor (tooltips are showing, for example), but they have wrong colors (not what our implementation of IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType says they should have) <br> We investigated this problem, and this is what we have found so far: <br> 1. When we remove all registered external markers (all entries from 'VisualStudion\Text Edito ...Show All

• SQL Server Memory Issue with Simple CLR Based Table-Value-Function (TVF)

  Hi, We are seeing memory issues with a simple C# based TVF that splits an input string into a table based a delimiter.    Entries such as the following show up in the SQL log:  AppDomain 8 (DBName.dbo[runtime].7) is marked for unload due to memory pressure. AppDomain 8 (DBName.dbo[runtime].7) unloaded. These entries only show up after the TVF has been called many times (~ half million times or more). We encountered the same memory issues with June CTP, but they appeared to be fixed in Sepetmber CTP.  Somehow the issues come back for us in the SQL Server 2005 RTM version.   Wit ...Show All

• SQL Server Internal Activation - calls stored procs in other DBs

  Hi all I am using internal activation on a queue to process the messages, should an error be encountered I call stored procedure A in the same database to log the error. Part of the processing in stored procedure A is a call to stored procedure B in another database (on the same server), however I have not been able to get this call to B to work. Currently I get the error "The server principal XXXXXX is not able to access the database YYYYYYY under the current security context".
