• Visual Basic Binding label text property to public property of its containing form in vb2005

  I have been trying all day to bind the Text property of a label control to a public property of its containing form in a windows application in vb2005. In vb2005 it seems that you can only bind to datasets or bindingsources. The properties window only lets you bind to datasets or bindingsources. I tried to do this both programmaticly and through the interface unsuccessfully. In vb2003 I bound the enalbed property of one button control to the ena ...Show All

• SQL Server ROWGUIDCOL

  I've read everything BOL says about ROWGUIDCOL and it's still not clear to me why it is necessary. It appears to be similar to an IDENTITY property, except that it does not have a seed or an increment. Because of that, it appears to have no practical purpose other than annotating a CREATE TABLE script to let people know it is used to identify a row. ROWGUIDCOL as described seems to fit the case of where a guid is the primary key (I do realize it ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating CLR Assembly

  I recently stumbled accross IronPython and was very intrigued by how the CLR could understand Python code (and could even use full debuging capabilities with it).  I am interested in learning how to do something similar for another language.  I believe what I am looking to do is manually create a CLR assembly from code that I am parsing My actual problem is I'm just not familiar with the terminology involved with this work, so my sear ...Show All

• SQL Server Native Client connection to MSSQL 2000

  For MARS support in SQL Server 2005, I'm changing our OLE DB code to use Native Client. My understanding is that Native Client should support SQL Server 2000 as well. When I point my DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE to a 2005 instance, everything works great. But when I point to a 2000 instance, the IDBInitialize->Initialize() call is crashing with a bounds violation. In my test case, the only change I made was in my coCreateInstance from t ...Show All

I will post the error log when I can find it. Hello, I am getting the same kind of error  when installing ...Show All
