SQL Server Upgrading Subscriber to 2005
Hi I have read the 2005 BOL topics regarding upgrding replicated databases and having a mixed replication environment etc, i have also watched many upgrade webcasts. Unfortunately neither goes into enough detail regarding the migration route instead of upgrade or considerations for replicated databases. Basically i have a publisher, remote distributor and subscriber all running SS2000, sp3a. I want upgrade the subscriber to 2005, from BOL i know this is ok. The sql server instance holding the subscriber database has other databases that we do not want to upgrade, therefore i must do a migration of the 1 database. I will install a named insta ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Editing XAML - am I missing something ?
I have the latest release, AFAIK, and Cider is useless - I cannot type into the XAML editor, and using the drag and drop is a waste of time. Expression is a ton better ( read, it can be used ), but is missing the most basic features ( how about search, let alone search and replace, or auto indent of XML, or even being able to use TAB to indent a section of XAML ). I realise it's pre-release, but surely the code for those common features is trivial enough to be put in early and make the tool useful Or are they there and I'm just too dumb to find them Cider is a great tool but have some issues sometimes. But there is no problems ...Show All

.NET Development creating managed COM server from C++
I'm writing a c++ plugin (not managed) for the windows service - IAS. The main code must be written in c#, so I wrote a c# module and registered it as COM Interop. C++ plugin imports .tlb file generated by regasm.exe tool. During the initialization of C++ plugin the CoCreateInstance is called and the main worker class is created, which is written in C#. In test application, erevything works as expected. However, the CoCreateInstance hungs when I try to run the whole plugin in windows service process. The most amazing thing is that it works when I terminate(kill) the service process and start it again. In other words it fails only at f ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System GUI regression tests with Visual Team System
Hello, We are currently searching for a testing tool to perform functional regression tests on our GUI application. For the moment, we developing with Borland C++ Builder 6.0 but we are going to make the transition to Visual soon.

Would it be useful to use this tool with Visual Team System And what would be the advantages, meaning what would it permit us to do that Team System cannot Thanks for the information!

Smart Device Development Use the Core Connectivity API to connect to running devices
Hello, does anyone know how to use the Core Connectivity API to connect to running devices/emulators I am using the new Microsoft.VisualStudio.DeviceConnectivity.Interop assembly but am not able to connect to emulator instances that where started from the commandline. These instances are however visible in the Device Emulator Manager under the item "Other". Thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken To connect to a device you need to have an entry for that device in Datastore. Since the emulator that you started from commandline will not have an entry in datastore you will not be able to connect to the emualtor using Core Connectivity ...Show All

SQL Server Simulating ORACLE SEQUENCES
In order to replace an Oracle DB with SQL-Server 2005 i've to find a substitute for the DB-Object "SEQUENCE" used in ORACLE. I tried it with a trigger and a stored procedure. But in both cases the stress-test failed. In case of the trigger the requests blocked each other. In case of the stored procedure "unique" numbers have been assigned twice to the requestors. Main problem may be the fact, that i can't read and write within one command-statement. If I use recordsets with pessimistic locking from my application I've some deadlocks making my Application stall. How can I simulate ORACLE-Sequences in a reliabl ...Show All

SQL Server Use a dataset as source of another data set
Dear Anyone, Would it be possible in RS2005 to use an existing data set as the source of another data set We have a scenario of which we have several parameters whose data comes from a single table. We would want to limit the queries on the database. Is this possible at all Thanks, Joseph There is no simple way to use one DS as source for another. But. There is one direction you can explore. If you have a case when you want to offload your OLTP database from heavy queries you may try this: 1) Create an intermediate report that has a basic table pulling all interesting data from OLTP db and may be ...Show All
