• Visual Basic Why doesn't my Dataset or TableAdaptor prevent me from deleting related records?

  In my dataset I have set up a relation between two tables with Foreign Key Contrain. I'm connecting to an Access databases. The dataset won't stop or warn me when I'm deleting a record that should be deleted due to data integrity. Because I have the same relation in the Access database this prevents me from realy delete those records.When I remove the relation in MS-Access I can delete the records, but then this Foreign Key Contrain stops me from reloading the form. Why doesn't it stop me earlier And if I depend on MS-Access for the warning this is rather late. I would like the warneing when the user is doing the actual deletion. I can th ...Show All

• SQL Server RTM install order with VS2005 ?

  With the RTM versions of SQL 2005 and VS 2005, does it matter which order they are installed in, or now that they are all on the same version of the .NET framework, does installation order no longer matter Also, are there any issues/gotchas with installing SQL 2005 Developer edition and SQL 2005 Express from the VS2005 RTM on the same machine During the betas, there were all sorts of hoops you had to jump through, and do things in certain orders, but with RTM will the standard installs of SQL 2005 Developer, VS 2005 and SQL 2005 Express all work regardless of install order Thanks, Andy Mackie.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is vc++ 6.0 good

  i bought a book on vc++6.0.can i build powerful software applications with that.what is the difference between the vc++6.0 and vc++ 2005.what is the latest released version Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then . Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ ...Show All

• SQL Server AS2005 Cube Processed "Successfully", But Data Not Refreshed

  We process the cube automatically every night but the data isn't up-to-date despite a "successful" processing. However, if I go onto the server and process the cube directly there through the BI Dev Studio, the data will finally get updated. Similarly, if I try to process the cube from a client using Management Studio, it processes "successfully" as well, but the data is not updated. I have to do it on the server itself. I've noticed this behavior the last few weeks, but it could very well have been going on for quite some time. Any ideas or thoughts on this behavior What method you us ...Show All

• Visual C++ XP style buttons with PSDK

  I recently ported an older Win32 PSDK program to VS 2005. How can I get it to use the cool XP style buttons I have my display "Appearance" set to "Windows XP Style". Further, when in the VS2005 Resource Editor, my buttons seem to be XP Style. Yet when I run the program, the same buttons are just as "flat" as they have always been. There is probably a compiler option that I am unaware of. Can someone please point me in the right direction on this Thanks in advance! Bingo!

• SQL Server How to skip records in script component

  In DTS activex task, you can use skipinsert to skip a row, how to do that in script component In your ProcessInputRow method, simply use an If test or other control structure to identify the rows that you don't want to process, then...do nothing! Note that if you have a component with synchronous outputs, then the same buffers full of rows that come into your component are passed back out as outputs, whether you choose to process those rows or not. If you want to delete rows from the output -- not just skip your custom processing for some rows -- you would need to configure asynchronous outputs. BOL's content on the Script compon ...Show All
