• SQL Server Cannot create a valid ODBC DSN to SQL Server Express

  Hello All, I've just spent the better part of a day trying to configure SQL Express to allow me to create an ODBC connection. When I do create one via Control Panel/Admin/ODBC it tells me that its timing out on the connection (localhost) and the problem is probably that SQL Server Express comes configured NOT to allow remote connections. I've enabled TCP/IP and named pipes, allowed remote connections, enabled the SQL Browser, and just about everything I;ve read in the docs and forums. Am I missing the obvious Kind Regards, Pat. Holy Telemundo, Batman! If I hadn't found this thread, I was seriou ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Developing app for custom SDK with VS'05

  I created an SDK for my platform with Platform Builder 5. I then installed this SDK. The SDK shows up in embedded visual C++ 4.0 and it shows up in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 in the Tools\Options\Device Tools\Devices section. However it does NOT show up when I try to create a project for Win32 Smart Device. How do I target an application at my SDK Note that this is a headless device and it doesn't have .NET and it won't support ActiveSync so I once I get VS'05 to let me target something at it I will need to know how to start up the corecom stuff on my device (or whatever the equivalent of the old cemgrc.exe is now).

• .NET Development An economical way of filling a listbox?

  An economical way of filling a listbox I fill an authors listbox using the table adapter. It's one thing with a lookup table with 30 or so rows, but I have hundreds of authors.  Above the listbox the user has a choice of adding another author(s).  When that form closes the AddAuthors button refills the table adapter. Is there a more economical way of doing this   I don't need to move among the authors or delete them.  I have a separate form for that.  This addform merely fills some textboxes and listboxes then uses an insertquery to add and close. Dennist Can any one help me I ...Show All

• Visual C# Newbie needing help with his n's

  I'm relatively new to the c sharp language, and i am making a program that works out the number pattern of an nth term equation. If that didn't make sense to you, it dosn't matter, the bit i am stuck on is how do i read the equation the user typed in and work it out. I guessed that i would have to get the equation into a string, then analyse it somehow to pick out the individual commands in it like multiply etc. I have to admit that wasn't very clear, so ill try again for if you didn't get it. 1. the user types into a textbox n+6 2. a string then contains n+6 3. how do i make the program recognise and calculate n+6 and then return t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating a very simple GUI

  I am trying to integrate a very simple GUI into the project I am working on. All I need is 3 edit boxes to accept values and a button to execute a command. That's it. I have looked at the tutorials included with DirectX, and the GUI example is simply too complicated...I don't want to include a bunch of files I probably won't even need. What's the easiest way to implement a GUI like the one I am describing (By the way , I am writing this in C++.) thanks in advance. >What is wrong with the sample code provided in the SDK (Custom UI) It can't be used unless you use the whole of the framework.

• Visual Basic VB6 to VB>Net Converts

  Are there any books that explain conversion between the two languages The biggest problem that I see with any migration tool, VB6->VB.NET or otherwise, is that it won't utilize new features of the environment or new class libraries. Let's say you implemented your own hashtable algorithm in VB6. No migration tool, no matter how smart, is going to say, "Hey, you're using a hashtable. We'll just drop in the System.Collections.Hashtable instead!" (If it could, I would think that the dev team had invested its efforts in the wrong place.) In my opinion, if you're going to take the time to migrate the code, you probably want to revisit y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mdiparent - Is this bug solved?

  I've an mdiParent (maximized) with X children (maximized). The mdiParent contains a menustrip. I load the children into the parent. The first time when I load a child into the parent, the menustrip hides a part of the child.
