• Smart Device Development Deploying a .net2/sqlce app

  Hi! note: new in mobile development but experienced .net developer Can you give me a guidance on what do I need to install in a wm2003 device to deplory a .net 2.0 app which also uses sqlce 2005 Are some specific dll's enough I would like to create a complete CAB with all the necessary files so that end-user can easilly install/uninstall the application. Unfortunately, you can not do that. License does not allow you to break NETCF/SQL Mobile CABs apart and you can not have CAB in a CAB as only one instance of CAB installer is allowed. You can install SQL Mobile, NETCF and your application CABs one by one via AS: http://msdn.mi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Strange behaviour when accessing Excel VBA after installing VB 2005 Express edition

  Hi, I recently installed VB2005 Express Edition to try to learn the new features of VB under the .net environment. The installation and registration went like a charm and the program is working as I expect. However, I am doing a lot of development work using VBA running under Microsoft Excel and since I installed VB2005, whenever I access the VBA IDE in Excel, I get a message box telling me that VB2005 is trying to install something. At first, this installation stopped, saying that it could not find the vbsetup.msi file. After providing it with the location of this file, it kept going with its alleged installation and after a minute or ...Show All

• SQL Server Question about service configuration on SQL Server 2005 IA 64....

  While perusing Configuration Manager, I noticed on the properties for the services there is a parameter to indicate whether or not the service is running on a 64-bit operating system. If I'm running on a 64 bit Itanium server, shouldn't this be checked "Yes" I'd ask the server admin who did the install, but he is currently awol. Yes, it should be, assuming you 64bit Itanium server is running a 64bit OS, and the IA64 version of SQL was installed...you'd need to verify those 2 things... What version of SQL is running (run select @@version to get this) What Edition is running (run select ser ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Snippet manager missing

  Anyone know where code snippet manager is hidden in the VS 2005 team suite edition (trial). It should be under tools but I can't see it anywhere under there. The Code Snippet Manager hotkey is Ctrl-K, Ctrl-B. This key combination works for me even if the command is not listed on the Tools menu. You can get more CodeSnippets here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/codesnippets/default.aspx After adding them in, stop and then restart the IDE, then the snippets become active. - Charlie ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to add Controls to ListView Control??/

  Hi Im trying to develop a calendar control that is similar to outlook. Initially I was planning to use a listview and add the controls on the listview whenever an appointment is created. But the control is exactly not added to the listview but to the form. When I change the size of the form then the controls obviously are out of place. I was wondering is there a way to add a control to ListView. Or is there any other control than listview that fulfills my requirments. Your help wil be appreciated. I'm using C# windows Forms. Maybe you can find something useful here: http://www.windowsforms.com/Default.asp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Program flow - order of execution.

  As a real novice I am writing a small application to measure a persons reaction time by presenting a prompt on screen and then measuring how long before a key is pressed. My problem is understanding the program flow. When run the form is presented and then when the Start button is pressed there is a short, random delay and the prompt presented. The clock stops when any key is pressed (sub EndTimer) and the time presented - all as expected - but then the prompt is presented again and again and again..... The app works as intended except for the cycling. I do not understand why it is looping. The relavant code follows. I thought it would ru ...Show All

• SQL Server Clustering Resource depencies

  Hello, With SQL2000 configured with MSCS, we had to stop the SQL service to add additional disk in the SQL Cluster group (in order to use these disks for databases for example).. this was due to the dependencies between the resources. Do we still have the same issue with SQL2005 running on the cluster Does the new mountpoint support help in this scenario Thanks Jerome Yes, the same issue does exist with SQL Server 2005 when adding disks. The new mountpoint support does not really help in this scenario as the mountpoint disk should also be added as a dependent disk to the resource group. It is possible to ad ...Show All
