• .NET Development Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion'

  Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional and SQL Server Standard. I ran the 'aspnet_regsql' tool to enable the application services for my ASP.NET project. When using the WebPartManager control on my ASPX page, I encountered an error that tells that 'dbo.aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion' cannot be found. I guess this is pointing to the 'aspnetdb' database on my SQL Server. When I tried to navigate using Management Studio, I located the stored procedure, and verified it exists. I also overwrite the <connectionStrings> localSqlServer on my web.config file from named instance of SqlExpress to my local SQL Server 2005. Please hel ...Show All

If label was a list into which you'd passed the 10 labels you want to set, and Name was the text you wanted to put on all the labels, the code you posted would work. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions vs_setup.ms_ not 'expanded'.

  I downloaded the VC++ Express Beta 2 image and burned it to a CD. Then I ran the setup.exe from the CD.  The install failed because the image had the file mentioned in the subject header, not it converted form, *.msi. I used IsoBuster to install the image and then expanded the vs_setup.ms_ file to vs_setup.msi The install then proceeded normally. OK, I was finely able to get the VB 2005 express setup to work by first installing the Windows Installer 3.0 (and rebooting).  The problem is not with the express setup program(well not entirely).  However, Microsoft made a big assumption that ev ...Show All
