• SQL Server Express Manager download for RTM version of SQLServer Express

  Has MS updated the Express Manager tool for the RTM version of SQLServer Express It's a great tool and not having it causes so much pain (I have to use the command line tools!). Thanks in advance! I tried to install the client tools from SQL Server 2005 developer edition but the installer for this (after downloading another 2.8GB!) says components are already installed and cannot be upgraded (or message similar to this). I'll use the command line tools I guess Thanks anyways! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to exclude a Folder from a Webproject

  Hi We are testing here TFS SP3, and have the following question. We have a website project, that uses TFS as source-control. When adding some files to the folder of the webpage, TFS automaticly adds it to the TFS Soruce control. But when doing checking, it always wants also to checking these files, but I don't want to checking that, as this is just test-data created on the local environment. What do I have to do Thanks Patrick You can correct the TeamBuild issue by overriding AfterGet target to add an exec task and remove read-only attribute on these files, something like the following in TfsBuild.pr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Stupid questoin from a newbie

  Im just trying to get for loops to work properly and just basically messing around. This does actually work properly; yes i realize the names are retarded but they just came out :P Basically in this program you highlight an item in the textbox, and when you press ok that selected item will come up in a messagebox and say "you have selected so and so" Anyway... my question is how would i get this to display "You have selected nothing" when the user clicks the ok button and nothing is selected in the listbox. for ( int counter = 0; counter < listBox1.SelectedItems.Count; counter++) switch (li ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Needed help regarding VFP 9 Installation....

• Visual C++ How to compile use of AVIFileInit

  This is undoubtedly something very simple, but I am too new to this environment to figure out what. I have this code: #include <windows.h> #include <vfw.h> #include "stdafx.h" int _tmain( int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {     AVIFileInit(); // opens AVIFile library     AVIFileExit(); // releases AVIFile library     return 0; } and I get these compile errors: error C3861: 'AVIFileInit': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup error C3861: 'AVIFileExit': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup What am I missing I can't seem to find any ex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System On the rule DoNotInitializeUnnecessarily

  FxCop flags a warning when it detects initializations that were already supposed to be have done by CLR; for instance: int _StartIndex = 0; While this is redundent initialization, I think it's good practice to include it to make it explicitly clear that your code relies on the default initialization of CLR. This is extremely helpful when doing code modification later because there may be many methods which might assume above initialization and changing above line may effect many methods. When explicit init is not done, there are two possibilities, either your code doesn't use those init values OR it does; that is, you have to keep guessing ...Show All

• Smart Device Development vs2005 compiler is fatally flawed: generates bad code

  In this very simple excerpted code, the compiler fails to do its job.  If you want it recreated, I propose someone there try to recreate it.  I've already got it happening here.  It's as simple as it gets.  From the type of failure, it looks like it's going to happen a lot. r12 is assigned the address of mc.decodePriority only if gDecodeMaxPriority >= 3, yet it, r12, is still used as the store address when it is not >= 3.  r12 is pointing to nowhereland in the code below, when, for example, gDecodeMaxPriority is 0.               if (mc.inWaveMode ! ...Show All

• SQL Server Reusability in SSIS?

  Something in another thread spurred me to post about this, wondering if others have solved this, or what workarounds they might be using. Suppose we want to do the same operation on more than one column, or the same data transformation in more than one data flow, or in more than one package. I don't know how to reuse anything in SSIS, except by copying & pasting and creating a second (or third, ...) copy. I'm reluctant to copy & paste expressions or boxes or entire data flows, because (a) any change has to be made multiple times, and (b) if someone later changes one copy without realizing that there are other copies, they might go ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I get Transactional Republishing to work?

  I'm starting a new thread to keep things clean and simple. This is a transactional republishing issue. In my simplest scenario, I'm transactionally replicating a single table from database A to database B and then from database B to database C. (And C will need to transactionally replicate to D, but ignore that for now). All databases are on the same XP server (in this simplist version of the problem). This is SQL 2005 RTM. Publication A to B replicates fine. Publication B to C distribution doesn't work because I get the error: Command attempted: drop Table "dbo"."MyReplTable" (Transaction sequence number: 0x0000 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Property grid sub-properties, smart tag editors, and designer persistence

  I'm having trouble with persistence of custom control properties at design time. I started out trying to create a series of modified versions of the standard controls, but with new properties and capabilities, especially at design time. It would be neat to create a MyControlBase class and then derive things like the standard text and check boxes from it, but that’s not possible, because .Net doesn’t support multiple inheritance. Creating an interface is not an answer, either, because the derived controls will still need to implement the custom properties, etc. My answer, so far, has been a helper class. Each derived control impl ...Show All
