• Software Development for Windows Vista Error Encountered Starting Windows Defender

  Whenever Windows Defender starts up I get an error dialog with the following text: "Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x80070578. Invalid window handle."

• Visual Basic Assignments within expressions

  Will VB ever allow for assignments within expressions   I've boggled over translating simplistic C# code into VB.NET code many hours since VB doesn't allow this.  Take the following two code pieces for example: while (--n >= 0) {     // do some code }   And while (n-- >= 0) {     // do some code }   This may seem simple to translate at first, but only if the variable n is used inside the loop.  If it is referenced outside the loop, it can be different values, based on whether the '--' is prefix or postfix. This is a simple example, but imagine more complex express ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrading default instance with named instance remaining at SQL 200

  We currently have an SQL 2000 server with two instances on it. We want to upgrade the default instance to SQL 2005, but leave the named instance at 2000. The named instance is used for Great Plains. Is it possible to do this If so, what possible issues so we look out for Thanks, Robert Hemmings Yes that is supported. The only thing you have to note is that your tools will be upgraded to SQL2K5 Tools but they work fine against the SQL2K instance that will be left on the box. Thanks Michelle ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions shell.sendkeys to blanked out password field

  I have created a simple VB applicaiton that telents into a Linux box and issues some commands. I have tested the app without actually connecting to the remote machine, this way I can verify that the information is being entered correctly. Every thing appears fine, except for when I try to send the log in password. It never accepts it. The only thing I can think of is that since it is a password field the characters are blanked out and cannot be seen. I'm wondering if this is what is causing the problem. My code is below oshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") 'creates an instance of the Wscript Shell object fso = Creat ...Show All

• .NET Development Issue with threading

  Hi Buddies, I am using 3rd party adapter to connector MySQL db in C# (VS 2003) for developing a chat app. Using that adapter, I have seen a strange issue that, after executing the SQL quries very fast for some time, all the pending threads in MySQL db is going to a sleep state. After that, no more SQLs are executing. Ie, my C# app is not able to communicate with MySQL db. Because of this reason my application got hanged. I am very much worried at this point. For my app all the SQLs are executing in threads. I use connection string like, "Server=192.168.1.78;Port=3 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Editing a Fixed Length Text File.....

  I searched the forumns and nothing seems to pertain to what I am trying to do. I have done the following easily in VB 6.0 enterprise edition, but am having headaches over trying to convert my code to VB express (BTW the converter Wizard blows up big time trying to convert my code). Anyway.... 1. I have a text file that is fixed length and has records of data that a seperate program accesses (so I can not change the layout or structure and it must remain a text file) 2. I have been able to create a program that will search and find a specific record within this file and retrive the data without a problem. 3. I need to be able to edit ...Show All

• .NET Development Some thoughts about default parameter for C#

  I've been troubled by this problem since I started to use C#. I always try to write classes that are easy to use. When I try to write some methods that takes several parameters, I found it was really troublesome to write different overloads. I had to give up some overloads, because there are just too many combinations, when the parameter list is long. And I thought, why not default parameters Anders Hejlsberg explained in an interfiew that they didn't include default parameter because they think it was not necessary. They think it's just feature that make programmer a bit easier, but not some feature that make the language more powerful. Wel ...Show All

• SQL Server LOcking data in partitions

  Is there any possibility to avoid updating the data for certain partitions and lock the data in partitions in Analysis Service Table A in SQL Server 2005 is split in partitions where the oldest partition will be deleted when the new partition fills up. Data aggregation using Analysis Service is powerful, but when syncronizing against the database, source data from the deleted SQL Server partition/file group is removed and aggregations in Analysis Service will be updated.

• Visual C++ How do I get an Environment Variable?

    I have 35 years of experience. I have mostly avoided the C world. when I've had to write in it, I've done OK in VS6. VS2005 C++ is so cantankerous. I'm writing a program that must run standalone  so it's very lean and doesn't rely on high level code. I am in need of a routine that returns the value of the %windir% environment variable in string format. My project is set for a unicode build. Thank you Hi Renee, Umm, if we're talking about C#, maybe it is possible to use: System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") Which'll return a string with the value of the env variable in t ...Show All

• Visual C++ arrow, delete and number keys don't respond.....

  Using VS2005 C++ beta 2 every now and then I can't use my delete, backspace, arrow keys or my side number pad while working in the VS enviornment.  I thought that I might have lost focus but the carret is still blinking where I was last at, and if I type the numbers or letters on my main keyboard then I can do things...  The worse is I can't delete.  At first I thought this was just in debug mode but it now started happening while just coding.  I can't tell you what I do to make it stop... usually I do build or do a rebuild or even shut down VS and reopen it. I had the same problem in 2003 but none of the above sug ...Show All
