• SQL Server How to truncate the log file

  How do I truncate the log file using TSQL   My client's log file is 44 gig and there isn't enough HD space.  Thanks I have found that the following will work in the "out of disk space" scenario: BACKUP LOG database_name WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY Then, after you run that command, shrink the database using: DBCC SHRINKDATABASE ( database_name ) Hope that helps.

• Windows Forms Orientation of TabPage when TabControl.Alignment = Bottom?

  Hi, I have a TabControl with some TabPages. I have set TabControl.Alignment= Bottom. But then my TabPages look silly, as they do not rotate 180 degrees when Alignment = Bottom. Also, I can't find any Orientation-property on the TabPage. Any idea how I can rotate the TabPage to make this look better (If I can't, then what is the idea of the Alignment-property... ) Thanks! PS! It is the tab "tip" I want to rotate, not the contents of the TabPage. The Windows XP visual themes implementation for tab controls doesn't work well. Check this thread for a workaround. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. directx as math library

  Was wondering if anyone knows of any problems with using the directx library as a math library since there seems to be a lack of a complete math library included in visual studio c#. This is for an engineering app so precision is needed.   Nick Waanders wrote: The only thing I am missing is an indexer in the vector class. (I hope somebody of microsoft reads this). So for example: myvector[0] = 1.0f; // x-axis I use this a lot in algorithms where you select one axis, and perform actions on the other 2 axes. You can simply select an index and use (index+1)%3 and (index+2)%3 as the next two indices.. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error When Deploying Application

  Hi, When I deploy my win app which includes a reportViewer control I get the following message. Unable to install or run this application. The application requires your system to be updated to Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms Version 8.0.0.0. Any idea what this error means Terry, that didn't work for my problem of using a ReportViewer in a webform in local mode at a hosted website. By the way, your previous article, "Visual Studio 2005 Beta2 and Reporting Services - The Most Interesting New Feature for Me", was VERY helpful to me.  Many thanks for that. ...Show All

It just sounds like your bindings aren't being created correctly. Can you share your logic for building the columns Cheers, Drew ...Show All

• Visual C++ Migrating a VC 6 Project to VC 8 (aka VC 2005)

  Dev Environment: VC 8 version 8.0.50727.26 (RTM.050727-2600) OS: Win XP Pro I am migrating a VC6 project to VC8 and I'm getting an error that doesn't make a lot of sense.  First of all, the project builds fine in VC6 - no errors, but of course, some warnings.  The project uses STL heavily so that some of it (not all of it) can be built on different OSes.  After fixing 700+ errors from the initial attempt to build (mostly due to new and better C++ conformity and MFC changes in VC 8) I am now down to one error(!) and I'm stumped.  Here it is: c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\istream(842) : error C224 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Regions bug

  Every day after I’ve been working in the IDE for a while, the collapsed #regions will not open with a single click on the plus sign anymore. Instead it takes 5 to 10 clicks to open them. Actually in different source code files it takes a different number of clicks in order to un-collapse a #region . (but always the same number of clicks within the same source code file) I sure hope this will be fixed soon. It's been doing this all along since I switched in February. Any idea what's causing this Which versions on VB are you using.... VS Studio, VB Express Has it been doing this f ...Show All
