• .NET Development Scalable, stand alone database?

  I am developing an application that requires reliable, searchable, and scalable storage for a lot of data. At first it won't be much but, eventually data may surpass 2GB. I need the database to be standalone; I don't want to install a server with my application. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should use What does programs like Outlook use to store data (since it can handle well over 2GB of data and it's still searchable) If it helps, I am developing the Application in C# 2.0 Actually, Outlook hits its limit right around 2GB. In theory it can handle more, but I have personally experienced and read about m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Install - Quad 1.8GHZ Xeon... Not Good Enough ?

  I am trying to install TFS on a quad 1.8GHZ with 4GB ram; this should be enough to run a TFS trial at my company for 2-5 users. However the TFS install requirements checker prevents me from installing the product because of a minimum speed of processor requirement. I have four 1.8GHZ Xeon chips, that should be plenty.   Is their a command line install that can bypass this check     Thank you, John Hi, thank you for the replies.   I thought it was a stop error because I could not continue, when I clicked the link for the error screen it stated the ...Show All

  Hi I'm looking for some documentation on the desktop search API in Vista. Doing a search through the Feb CTP SDK only seems to give hits to the old indexing service and not to the new desktop search API.

• Visual Studio Does collatation param in ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter() work (VS.NET 2005 RC)?

  Hi all, I'm currently using VS.NET 2005 RC and am attempting to print collated reports with the version of Crystal Reports that comes with it.  The following code snippet is an example of what I am attempting: reportDocument.PrintToPrinter(2, true , 0, 0);   Our printer supports collation (I've tested this using MS Word) -- however via the PrintToPrinter method, the printer keeps printing the reports without collation, grouping them by report page rather than by report copy.  Is there something that I'm missing or is the collation parameter not working for this version Thanks, Paul ...Show All

• SQL Server min/max of x minutes

  I am trying to develop a sql statement that will create a recordset of the min (or max) values in x minute increments over a period of time. e.g. over a period of 7 days, I have data that was collected in 1 minute intervals. I need to know the min (or max) value in each 10 minute interval over that same period of time. Is there an efficient way of doing this Try something like this: DECLARE @dt_from DATETIME, @dt_to DATETIME; SET @dt_from = '2006-03-21T00:00:00.000'; SET @dt_to = '2006-03-28T00:00:00.000'; SELECT MIN(dt) AS dt, MIN(val) AS min_val, MAX(val) AS max_val FROM tbl WHERE dt >= @dt ...Show All

• Visual Basic Hotkey API Question

  I need to make a hook which captures the Printscreen key in any combination (eg Alt+PrintScreen). My application will be running from the taskbar, so there will be no focus.

• Visual C++ Get System.TypeInitializationException when a C++ program is compiled with clr:/pure

  Hi, I migrated a C++ library to managed code by first recompiling with /clr option, fixing all compiling errors and then compiling with /clr:pure option. The compling and linking work perfect. However the program produced does not run (both /clr and clr:pure). Other C# program calling this library always throw TypeInitializationException when the dll is loaded. No detailed information is given. So I just add a windows form in the C++ project, and make it to generate exe directly. I thought I might get more debug information by make all the code in one exe. However when I run the exe file generated, still get TypeInitializationExce ...Show All

• SQL Server Importing Tables with Identity properties (uisng Import wizard)

  I am using the Import wizard to import a SQL2000 database to SQL2005 and noticed 2 problems: 1. all tables and views were selected; the tables were imported correctly but the views were created as tables, ignoring the "Create view" syntax. The SQL generated contains "Create table" syntax instead of "Create View". 2. when a table contained a column with an "identity" property, the data was successfully imported, but the values for the "identity" column were not preserved, instead they were resquenced from 1 with an increment of 1 (the default values for an identity).

• SQL Server HD Crashed, Need MSDE 2000 DB back!

  I had my harddrive crash about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to recover various things ever since. I have all the ".mdf" files from the databases I need, but when I install a new instance of MSDE 2000 and copy the ".mdf" files into the folder with the other ".mdf" files, they are ignored. I have a feeling that the problem may be the fact that I don't remember what my SAPWD was when I installed the original copy of MSDE 2000. I suspect that the ".mdf" files might be encrypted and generally unrecognizable to an instance of MSDE 2000 with a different SAPWD, but I have tried all the passwords th ...Show All
