  after restoring a database and regenerating keys, I'm trying to queue messages, and they're all hanging out in sys.transmission_queue with the following message: An exception occurred while enqueueing a message in the target queue.

• Visual Basic Variable X is used before it has been assigned a value.

  Likely easy question, but the solution evades me: When I write a sub to retrieve data from a data source using a DataReader object, I code it as such (this is an abbreviated sample): Dim conn as new SqlConnection("myConnectionStringGoesHere") Dim cmd as new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Employees",Conn) Dim dr as SqlDataReader Try   conn.Open   dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()   Do While dr.Read     ' Process the data as appr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Refactor Encapsulate field repeatedly

  Hi. I have an object with more the 100 fields. I wonder if there is a method to automate the process of encapsulating those fields. I'm just too lazy to do "Right-Click -> Refactor -> Encapsulate Field" for 100 times if i select all the fields and do "Encapsulate" then only last selected field is encapsulated.   Any suggestions on this   Thanks. Hi, This is not supported in the shipped co ...Show All

Can security be applied to an environment variable Registry Anyone successfully use the registry to store configuration values ...Show All

  i'm interested in InfoCard, but nothing here... Take a look at wcs.netfx3.com in the coming weeks - this is the community website for Windows CardSpace (i.e. what was InfoCard).

• .NET Development Need an Answer!

  I've looked everywhere on msdn and can't get an answer to the most basic question about jscript. Here is the question: Which development environment in the .net framework allows you to code and debug in jscript! It's NOT Web Developer 2005 -- that one only let's you use VB and C#. Is it ASP.Net There are some very vague references to this, but I can't tell exactly what the environment is. There is much talk about jscript in the MS .NET fra ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. ...Show All

• SQL Server Row_Number function in WHERE clause

  What is the reason that you cannot use the results of the ROW_NUMBER function in a WHERE clause I can achieve the results that I want by using a derived table, but I was just looking for the exact reason. I have my speculations that it is because the results of ROW_NUMBER are applied after the rows are selected and filtered, but I'd like something definitive. Thanks a bunch in advance. That would be the exact reason. The ROW_NUMBER funct ...Show All

The size is 720*576 The rendering does not have to be any faster that this. I have tried two methods of geting the pixels, and both are much too slow. On ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why will LINQ fail ?

  Microsoft tries to helping object developers to close the gap between the relational world and the object world.And they call this " object modelling approach " Dlinq. Using " custom business entities " in enterprise programming with Dlinq might seem the best thing after " sliced bread " but it isn't. For my part I have written my Mappers and used commercial OR/M tools. They mostly provide the same thing. __Read the table from the datab ...Show All

• .NET Development Discard changes made to datatable columns of a Dataset?

  Hello, I have a windows form with several text boxes. OnLoad, I use a DataAdapter which calls a SQL sproc to retrieve it's info. The sproc returns has 3 select statements so when all is said and done, the dataset ends up with 3 tables. (table, table1 and table2) Next I use databindings.add for each of the textboxes and bind them to the appropriate column in the appropriate tables. The textboxes are readonly by default and I have an Edit ...Show All
