• SQL Server sqlserver installation problems

  sqlserver installation problems I tried to install sqlserver on my 2nd desktop.  It said a beta version still existed. I went to add and remove, and there were no references to sqlserver ctp. However looking at all programs, sqlserver and all its tools were there.  How do I uninstall them dennist685 Dan, I sent the email, thanks. At worst, I was thinking of uninstalling vsstudio 2005, reinstalling beta2, reinstalling sqlserver 2005 beta2, then uninstalling sqlserver beta2 and then vsstudio beta2, according to the order specified.  Somehow the automatic tool messed up.  I'm just afrai ...Show All

• Visual Basic BUG: debugger losing variable values

  over the weekend I had occasion to write a line of code that added two random byte values.  I made the mistake of not contemplating the case where the resulting sum produced a result that was too large for the underlying data type to hold -- this turned out to be a nightmare to debug because VS 2005 beta 2 would lose the values of the variables involved when the exception was thrown. here is a sketch of the code that caused that issue: at the class level these variables are defined: Private Const STATE_LENGTH_M1 As Integer = 256 - 1 Private _state(STATE_LENGTH_M1) As Byte within an instance method, something like the f ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas, Rectangles, ClipToBounds slowness

  We are thinking about starting a new moderately complex graphical application in WPF. But before committing to the platform, we are testing features to see if WPF can handle it. >:) One test application so far has a Canvas with ~800 Rectangles (added with C# using “canvas.Children.Add(..)”. These rectangles are movable by dragging them… implemented with Canvas.SetLeft(rect, newLeft) and Canvas.SetTop(..) from the MouseMove handler. I need some tips on how to speed this up. Currently dragging a single rectangle around causes 100% utilization with 20 FPS on a Xeon 2.8GHz… even turning down to 50 rectangles seems ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Equidistant Items

  Hi there, is there a native support in WPF for 'equidistant layout' I have a line (which length can vary - for the simplicity sake lets say it's either a vertical or horizontal one) and a number of items (let’s say rectangles) resided on this line. This line can be purely a virtual thing or a real one (moreover It can be more complex trajectory that just a straight line). What I want to do is to insure that the distance between those items will be the same regardless of the line length. Sure I can accomplish that by calculating this equal distance manually depending on a line length, but before doing so I'd like ...Show All

• Visual C# Error CS0554. user defined conversion to/from derived class

  I have come across a most peculiar compiler error. When I try to define a cast operator to convert from a base class to a derived class I get this error - apparently according to the help "User-defined conversions to values of a derived class are not allowed; you do not need such an operator." Is this as insane as it appears to be or am I missing something somewhere Of course I need to define a cast operator, how else can the compiler know how to create a derived type from a base type Any explanations appreciated. Dave Interesting thought. I'll need to look back and check on the code and see if there are any ...Show All

  Hi, The XPath expression "//Employee/Name" is given to the Select() method and it returns a set of nodes. Now the expression is a general one. Name at any level. Is there a method in System.Xml.XPath namespace which gives the absolute path of the resultant expression. Say if it has two results then I should be able to determine /root/level1/Employee/Name and /root/level1/level2/level3/Employee/Name. Is this possible Hi, Check this out.

• Visual Studio Team System Question about authentication through VPN??

  Hi, We have some long term contract developers that work for us - we provide them a VPN account to get into our network and I was wondering if that will work the the TFS client   the user logs into their computer using either the domain account or local account (not sure which one) then VPN's to our network - question is, with the TFS integration with AD, does that work through only a VPN connection or does the user "really have to be logged into our domain" Also with the proxy server addition, if we place a proxy server at their site, does that have to be part of the domain   I would assume that needs a VPN connection too s ...Show All
