• Smart Device Development Dataset to SQL Mobile database table bulk insert

  Hi, I developed a application to synchronise the data from sql server 2005 to sql mobile 2005 using web service. Webservice returns dataset, so currently i am inserting row-by-row data into sql mobile database, which is taking a tremendous amount of time. Can anybody suggest me how to add bulk data from dataset into sql mobile. Thank you, Prashant You could use RDA or replication for that. Note: using RDA or replication won't change number of SQL Server 2005 CALs you need compared to WS as each device accessing SQL Server 2005 directly or indirectly (e.g. via WS) needs CAL anyway. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Calendar control help

  I need a month calendar control for a WinForm application (.NET 1.1). It needs to have the following functionality: 1) display multiple months 2) display and select multiple disconnected ranges across months 3) I need to be able to customize the days that display in each month. For example: Jan (Jan 1 - Jan 28), Feb (Jan 29 - Feb 25), Mar (Feb 26- Mar 25). 4) use the same control in a date time picker capacity. (This is not a big deal since I could just create a composite user control to handle this.) If you know of a good calendar control that can accomplish #1 and #2 and comes with the source code so that I could a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Shell method causes the error "VBX Library init failure" on some machines

  Hi, I have been dealing with a problem for the last few days. An error which can be traced to a single line of shell method shows up on a pc other than mine(non development). The error is a dialogue box stating: "VBX Library init failure" The funny thing is the error can be avoided if before executing the shell, a file browser window is activated and a file is selected. Any help to make shell work on all machines would be greatly appreciated. Hi Paul, Thank you for the reply. I am using VB 2005 express edition version 2.0.50727 . It is a .NET Framework. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Possible to write my own UITypeEditor or use existing in the CF?

  What I'm trying to accomplish is a MultilineStringEditor on the design time properties window. It should look just like the Label control's text property or textboxes's text property, when you click the down arrow a box pops open that allows newlines. I now know how to use the MultilineStringEditor in the regular framework, but the System.design.dll doesn't exist in the CF ( ). So I decided I could just write my own, however.. the System.drawing.dll in the CF doesn't seem to have the System.drawing.design namespace with UITypeEditor which I need to extend to write my own editor. Should I just accept that I'm using the CF a ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot Remove SQL 2005 June CTP

  I have SQL 2005 June CTP installed and running. I previously had VS 2005 CTP installed as well. I removed VS with the beta removal tool and installed the release version. I am now trying to remove SQL and cannot do it. First I tried Add / Remove programs. I chose remove for SQL 2005 and it removed the entry from Add / Remove programs but did nothing else. I then tried the beta removal tool sqlbuw.exe on the CD which detectes 3 instances of SQL 2005 but when it tries to remove them it says "There are no SQL Server 2005 or .NET Framework components to uninstall. You may now run the setup wizard to install new instances." When I run the setup w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploy chm file with click-once

  I'd like to include a chm file with the application that I am deploying, but no matter what subdirectory of the project I put it in I can't seem to get the file to be included in the deployment.

• Visual Studio Team System build alerts

  how to alert only when the build failed Hi, We do not have this feature as an out of the box option, but you can tweak Team Build a bit to build this functionality. There are 2 options: 1. You can add some http://site to receive notification on build completion and then that site can get subscription and send out email only on build failure 2. You can write an MSBuild task to send email to the subscribers and insert that in the OnBuildBreak target. This task is invoked only on build failure. Please let us know if this helps or if you have any more qs. Thanks Anu ...Show All
