• SQL Server SQL Express 2005 Configuration Manager - Cannot connect to WMI provider

  Hi, when I go to the SQL Server Configuration Manager utility, the following error pops up : Cannot connect to WMI provider.You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Access is denied. [0x80070005] This is on a Windows 2003 SP1 server, and the database is an upgraded MSDE 2000 database. The database itself appears to be working OK. My application can connect to it, I can connect to it via sqlcmd, etc. (all locally). I'm logged on as an Administrator, so permissions shouldn't be a problem. I ran FileMon to see which file it's compla ...Show All

• Visual C# Transparent background

  Hi, Is it at all possible to give a label or another control a transparent background I want to display text, and in most cases the ability to click on it, without spoiling the background image of my panel or form. Regards,   Guido Aha! If I select the backcolor in the property window, the forecolor is alright. Before, I did so in the form constructor. A small bug ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Performance

  I created a simple console app to host the workflow engine and run a simple sequential workflow consisting of a while condition, a sequence, a couple of trivial custom activities, and an incrementor to kill the while loop after 10 iterations. On a fairly powerful developer machine, running a release build, running outside the debugger, performance measurements showed that it took about 1.0 second to load and unload the workflow and another 1.0 second to execute it. This does not include the time to initialize the workflow engine. For my application I would need these times to get down into the millisecond range. Is the c ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express and ASP

  Hi! I have an ASP web application based on Access. I have DSN defined in ODBC Admin. I decided to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 probably Workgroup edition. Right now I am trying it with Express. I thought it will be fairly easy, because I was going to define another DSN using SQL Native Client and use it without changes to my ASP code. Not so easy. I can configure DSN and it tests fine in ODBC Manager. In ASP I am getting errors like Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e4d' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user ''.

• Visual Basic To VB 03 or VB EE, that is the question.

  I have an application that was programmed in VB 5 (yes, Five). I purchased VB.Net 2003 a couple of years ago to update my application by adding new screens, illustrations and generally make it pretty. A few days ago, I decided to get started on my updates and I found out about these forums and have read about the different versions of VB.  I am not much of a programmer, but seem to be able to get by, however after spending a week with VB.Net 2003, I'm not sure what I've got myself into, everything is different. I do need to print to paper (which seems to be an issue) and while not a true database, my application needs to read and write ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataContracts and COM

  I'm having problems trying to see the fields of a data class exposed through an Indigo service (attributed with [DataContract] etc.) from a VB6 client during the client's dev and wondered if anyone can help. The scenario is: I've got a service that I wish to expose to VB6 as a COM client. The service exposes a DataContract type which is used as a parameter to one of the service methods. I generated the client proxy from svcutil and compiled it into a dll that was marked as ComVisible(true). I then registered this using regasm /tlb (basically following the example from the WCF documentation). In VB I then referenced the type library create ...Show All
