• Visual C# How discover 'intrinsic' attributes?

  Hi! I can't find a method to discover 'intrinsic' attributes - the built-in attributes such as Serializable, Obsolete, etc. There is a method to getCustomAttributes, but I haven't found one for the builtins. They have to have APIs to access them, otherwise the tools won't be able to discover them. Can anyone steer me in the right direction Examples Jess C# Online.NET http://wiki.csharp-online.net/     Exactly, some attributes are treated specially in that they are represented by their own metadata flags or tables rather than as regular custom attributes. I don't have a complete list of these pseudo ...Show All

• SQL Server Understanding code created by SSIS import/export Wizard

  I built a packaage in SSIS with the import/export utility. It created a Package.dtsx and Package1.dtsx. Both of these files seem to be XML files. I want to understand how these files work. For example, in the package I built I had about 80 tables exporting and importing data. Some of them I want to allow the identiy insert and delete the rows first. Others I want to append the data. How can I find the code or settings that does this Or where can I find the options on the gui interface to change these settings. When I search the code I can't even find a some of the tables that are being transferred. Hi Mike ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista regarding LogOn User

  Hi, I need information regarding the following.. How are consent admins supposed to administer vista boxens remotely, e.g. by making a connection to \\vistabox\ipc$ and starting and stopping services or doing other privileged work This always results in an "accesss denied" error and only works for the builtin first ("non-consent") administrator. The fact that this doesn't work suggests to me that restricted tokens are not only created for interactive logon sessions but also for network style logon sessions. It was told that UAC is an interactive issue only, which it is apparently not . It also seems as ...Show All

• Visual Basic very poor design

  i know i am new to vb, but i am very disappointed in some areas. 1. the help sucks, almost every item i click on i get an error. all of the suggestions are useless because it's a link problem. they just don't work. 2. and who in their right mind would store files that have to do with projects outside the folder named for that project makes no sense. if i want to back up a project, i shoud be able to go to that folder and make a copy. but no, the vb code is stored outside the project folder, under projects. just stupid if you ask me.

• Visual C# Process class used from Windows Service fails

  I'm having trouble with the Process class. I have a Windows Service running as SYSTEM and I want it to spawn processes on behalf of users. I get the user's password there securely and create a SecureString. I get a Win32Exception "Access Denied" on Process.Start. If I run the service under the same account as the user I want to start for, I still get the exception except it says "The handle is invalid".

• SQL Server Can't Attach Database using SQL Server Management Studio Express

  I am having a problem Attaching, well actually not being able to see a database when attempting to attach it. I suspect this is more of a security issue rather than a problem with Management Studio, but I can't figure out what is happening. If I copy a database to Documents and Settings\All Users\... and attempt to attach I can see the file in the selection tree. This also is the case if I copy it to Documents and Settings\Default User\...

And the same thing occurs if I copy ...Show All
