• Visual Studio Team System "Compound Words Should Be Cased Correctly" exceptions.

  On one specific machine (Windows 2003 Server) my FxCop test unexpectedly/surprisingly generates thousands of "Compound Words Should Be Cased Correctly" messages. All those exceptions are actually wrong. Example:  The compound word 'InvalidParameter' in class 'InvalidParameterException' exists as a discrete term. If your usage is intended to be single word, case it as 'Invalidparameter'. "InvalidParameter" does not exist as a discrete term, so this message (and 4 thousand others) is not correct. I am using FxCop 1.32. I have 10 other machines (some of them Win2003 Server) running the same project against the same code without any prob ...Show All

• SQL Server Does SQL Server support all languages using Unicode

  I have an international Internet business and I use SQL Server with the Unicode field types of nchar, nvarchar and ntext. I seem to have no problem with customers entering Slovakian, Slovenian, Romanian, English or German, but Hebrew and Japanese do not seem to work. The resulting data coming back from the database after adding a record is garbage. I had the software email me the data immediately before adding the data to SQL Server. It was appearing correctly with respect to the foreign language character format. The software does the database add and then returns a list of records currently in that table.
