• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C# Express connecting to .\MSSQLSERVER instance of SSE

  All, I have been searching through the forums looking for any information about using any of the Visual Studio Express products with SQL Server Express using a standard instance instead of .\SQLExpress. I'm trying to use the Amazon-Enabled Movie Collection Starter Kit.  I installed SSE as a standard instance on the same system that is running VSE C# edition.  I have loaded the project, open the Database Explorer and select modify connection followed by the Advanced button.  In the Data Source pulldown I select the .\MSSQLSERVER which is a local instance and select ok.  However when I click on the Test Connection but ...Show All

• SQL Server Incremental Update

  Am using SSAS 2005, was trying to process cube on incremental update basis. During configuration of the settings from Object List dialog box, selection is made for measure group, partition, table - data source view. But there's no selection for table schema and name, hence the fact table name is entered manually.  1. What causes the table schema and name dropdown to be empty and resolution 2. Then during processing cube, it prompts "the data source view does not contain a definition for the table or view. The Source property may not have been set" What could be the reason and resolution Appreciate anyones f ...Show All

• .NET Development SignData function is detected by firewall

  Hi! I use the RSACryptoServiceProvider to sign some data. I instantiate the provider and its parameters, I read the key from a fixed string and the use the SignData function to sign the data. At the execution of SignData my firewall shows a warning that my application is trying to access a specific computer in my network. I think this computer is used as a DNS server. The SignData function waits until I allow or deny this from the firewall and then returns the results even if I press 'Deny'. I tried to use Encrypt and Decrypt function and they do not behave this way. Why is SignData trying to access the network Thanks in advance, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Making an app look like a Windows XP app

  I am currently porting a VB5 app to VB2K5. I have installed VB2K5EE at home. I am trying to do the basic menu/toolbar. The trouble is that I can't seem to make those two look like regular Windows XP menu/toolbar. I.E. I look at the MSPaint and Wordpad menus and I can't make the menus in VB2K5 look and act the same. I can select System in the RenderMode property but it looks like a default Windows XP menu bar but acts like a Office2K3 menu. What am I missing I tried adjusting the padding property. But that didn't help much. - Ronald Here are a couple of pics to better explain the problem. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Brush and pen disposing

  Have a doubt about working with brushes and pens. I'm working on a custom control that inherits from Panel and draw a colorfull desing background on it. Shall i create brushes and pens once and keep them in class scope variables, then overrides Dispose to release those resources. Or shall i create brushes and pens, and dispose them, every time control paint itself in the paint method. What's more expensive brushes creation and destruction or keeping those resources allocated during control lifetime Thanks in advance. Well, consider how much drawing you are doing.
