• SQL Server import/export tools

  I install sql2005 final and the SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi ... but i don’t find de import/export tools. I need import a DB from MDB to SQL 2005. Thanks "Where are the import export tools for SQL server 2005.  The full version." The answer is simple, but denotes a flaw in the user interface.  You have to right click on an existing database in order to obtain the 'all tasks/import' feature.  It really should be avalilable on a higher order item, such as right clicking on the 'Databases' item in the hierarchy.  If you have a fresh version of SQL 2005 and it is empty, you have to expand the system databases selection a ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Mobile performance/size problems with WM5 device

  I just upgraded our application from SSCE 2.0 to SQL Mobile. Our app is written in C++, and we use OLE DB for most of our queries, including the routine the downloads and inserts our lookup table data. This application is running on a Dell Axim X51. Using SSCE 2.0, this routine takes 236 seconds, with most time spent inserting data into various tables (using OLE DB). The resultant database size is 15.1 MB. Using SQL Mobile, this routine now takes 675 seconds, with a resultant database size of 27.9 MB!! There is a noticable increase in time when the downloaded data is being inserted into the database. What would be the reason(s) for the slowe ...Show All

What happens if I have a class containing read-only properties, or internal states (private fields) that are not public Do I have to compromise the encapsulation concept in order to get it serialized Blair Allen Stark wrote: XML is just a simple data interchange for passing the public data an object presents back and forth. Almost by definition it needs to be read/write. And XML makes no specification as to how the consumers are to contain the data. Yes, we typically write our own suppliers and consumers for both sides, but that is really j ...Show All

• .NET Development Application update toolbox for .Net?

  Many recent applications include some auto-update features in one form or an other. I would like to know if there is a toolbox to do that with .Net Thanks in advance, Joannes Hi Joannes, A ClickOnce application is a client application, generally a WinForms app.  It could install a service when it started up the first time (assuming that it had the correct permissions), but it cannot be a service by itself. ClickOnce apps have a data directory where they can store data files to read and write from. There's also application scoped isolated storage, which allows a ClickOnce app to have files which ...Show All
