• SQL Server best approach

  I've been banging my head for a while now, and it is sore! :-P I'm a best practice/Microsoft approach type of person and want to make sure I do things correctly. I have a database, kind of like a forum. Obviously executing multiple queries in one "batch" (stored proc) would have an impact on the performance. Now, I would like to give a more detailed/specific error back to the caller (either by aid of error code or whatever) with such situations like...

• Visual Studio Express Editions Choose Items Error

  http://knd.org.uk/files/deskvb.PNG This is what I get when I try to go to Choose Items from the toolbox right click thing. How do I stop this Eliminate the skins: I know it's nice and all, but it can cause problems - and since you are doing things with a specific window (toolbox window), it may be causing problems. To troubleshoot such a problem, go back to as basic an install (of windows) as possible. Stop applications from starting up at startup, perhaps going as far as uninstalling things. If all else fails - try a clean install of windows (time consuming, but if you want a problem solved, you need to eliminate the cause). ...Show All

• Visual Basic Issue Setting Bookmark Background Color

  I tried to edit the background color for Bookmarks thru Tools-Options-Environment-Fonts & Colors-Item Background with no success. Bookmarks should have a light blue background color by default which of course doesn't work either. I edited the background color for Breakpoints as a test and it worked just fine. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug in VB 2005 Professional You need to turn off the 'indicator margin' under tools/options->text editor->general to see the colours. You'll only see a small square unless you do this. ...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 database. ___Put that into a some HELPER thing.( DAO,DAL,ORM) ____Put that into your custom business object _____Read from your business object.(if u can :) ) I see NO REASON for this " Unnecessary Pull ...Show All
