• SQL Server MSXML6 breaks viewer used with Microsoft Electronic Learning Library

  Installation of SQL 2005 Express resulted in the failure of the viewer used with the Microsoft Electronic Learning Library products. The viewer runs under IE and is driven by an XML file. This has been verified on several systems. I uninstalled only MSXML6 and the viewer worked normally. I have no idea if the problem is with the viewer script, the XML file driving it, or MSXML6 but obviously this might be a breaking change to the product. Can anyone shed light Tom Skinner [C# MVP] The fix is now located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917583/en-us ...Show All

• SQL Server DTS migration

  Hi, In DTS 2000 package dynamic property task an ini file is read and values for some keys are read. These values are nothing but name of servers on which to run some sql tasks. This dts package has three defined connections. So when the keys are read it will be either one of these three. For eg. there are three sql tasks. sql1, sql 2 and sql3. sql1 needs to be run against server s1, sql2 against s3 and sql3 aginst s2. So the ini file sets three different variables connection1 to s1,connection2 to s3 and connection3 to s2. These variables are then used to run sql tasks accordingly. When I migrated this dts package to .dtsx fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MS Access Combo box Drop Down Equivilant

  In MS Access you can show multiple columns of data in the dropdown section of a Combo Box. So when you select a row, you see only the Bound column data. eg. Column Names: ID, Title, Year, Rating, Supplier This is handly when you have brief key data (like Title) in the bound column, but when you want to select another row, you get to see more details (such as the Year, Rating and Supplier) in the dropdown section. Is there an equivilent of this in vb.net 2005 No there isn't, at least not that I'm aware of.  I've seen various third-party controls that provide multicolumn ComboBoxes though.  The Co ...Show All
