• SQL Server Remote Connections with SQL Developers Edition

  Hi, I want to allow someone to update the data in a database being developed in SQL Developers Edition. The idea is while I'm developing the database the person who's database it is can do the data entry. The data monkey lives no where near me so I cannot keep keep updating a local copy there... I've tried to set up and connect but the server keeps refusing the connection. So question is... can SQL Developers Edition allow remote connections... and if so, which I hope it can, whats the way to go about setting it up. Far as I can tell I'm ok in regards to specifying the location of the server, the SQL user account is set up and has a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Making a picturebox have a transparent background

  I have a picture of a panda with a pink background (panda_down.bmp) and I was wondering: how do I get that pink background to be transparent Never say never, my friend! I ran into the same program you're having. The EXACT same problem.... Well.... I didn't have a pink panda.... But still.... The SHORT answer to your question is that you can't have transparency in a picturebox control without doing some pretty complex coding. If you want the contents of a picturebox to be transferred into an image object, you can just go: Dim I as new Image I = Picturebox1.image or something... But, when I had your problem, I learned ...Show All

• Visual Studio Different behavior between .sln and .sln.proj file

  Hi I just discovered an interresting issue. I have created my own targets file that are called from my project file called Testproject.proj.

• Windows Forms I unchecked "Automatically generate deployment webpage" now...

  So I unchecked "Automatically generate deployment webpage" under the Options button so ClickOnce would publish. (original post here ) Now, how do I create a deployment page to test out the app Regards! =) You don't really need a test page...just open a browser and type the URL in directly. For instance: http://localhost/MyApp/MyApp.application or http://localhost/MyApp/setup.exe That will launch the app for testing purposes. Or you can create a test page by hand...it wouldn't be very hard. Just add references to the above URLs in a standard HTML page. ...Show All
