• Visual Studio Express Editions Keep getting the error "Syntax Error in UPDATE Statement"

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to provide paths to Runtime for CreateWorkflow from XOML?

  My XOML contains custom activities. How do I provide the paths to the custom activities assembly so it can resolve them I know one way is to put all the assemblies together with the host. But sometimes the assembly are located with the "client" app, not the "runtime host". With WorkflowCompiler class you have librarypaths property, however the runtime compiles directly from XOML, and I can't see librarypaths for the runtime. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Data Set Configuration Wizard crashes every time I modify the data source

  Pretty much every time I add a table or a field to my data source, the wizard crashes. It just says that it had an unexpected condition and apologizes for the inconvenience.Right! I usually have a cascade of three or four of these messages. Sometimes it asks if I want to save my work. Who knows, at that point, if what I've done is still good or not (That's a rhetorical question) When I restart, sometimes it says that the form designer is ...Show All

• SQL Server Delivery Channels and Protocols

  Here is what we want to do, and I have not been able to spend enough time to see if this is possible out of the box, so thus the posting to the group.

It would seem that the DeliveryChannelName would be the better choice, since you can define multiple DeliveryChannels for the same protocol. Also, why store the DeviceTypeName in the NSSubscriberD ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System To strict Check-in policy 'only contain files that are part of current solution'?

  If you enforce a check-in policy 'Enforce check-in to only contain files that are part of current solution' (on the properties page of the Code Analysis Editor) Why fails this policy if I have a solution with 'solution folders' and within that solution folder I have some projects. The projects are part of the solution. However during check-in the policy claims that not all check-ins are within the current solution... and I'm very sure that ...Show All

• SQL Server X.509 Certificates

  With the new functionality provided by sql server 2005, can we use the certificate functionality to act as a db store for third party certificates. Posts that I have seen so far indicate that there is no direct access to the certificate store once a certificate has been imported to the db. Given that the database is more portable (for failover purposes for certificate storeage, lack of access to the certificate store should be considered a c ...Show All
