• SQL Server Directly editing data in results pane with SQL 2005 Management Studio

  In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, one was able to edit and commit data on-the-fly directly from the results pane.  Action->Open Table->Query with the SQL Pane shown gives you an interface similar to Query Analyzer.  One could write a complex select statement with where clauses and joins, and the results pane would show the resulting data.  The data is editable and instantly updated.  We are now planning to migrate to SQL 2005 , and so will need the same capabilities that were availiable from its predecessor.  I believe there to be an option/configuration setting or panel in Management Studio that would expose thi ...Show All

• Visual C# using code written in C

  Hello. I need to use a code written in C (not C++) in my C# application. Is it readily usable in .NET What do I need to do It's not 'readily usable', but you can use it. You need to create a C++ dll ( almost all C will compile as C++ ), which exposes a C++/CLI class, and that class will provide a layer between .NET and your C code. Then, you'll import this dll into your project and call it from there. So, if you have a C function called DoSomeStuff, you add a DoSomeStuff method to your managed C++ dll, and it just takes the same parameters, and uses them to call the method and return the result. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CustomDictionary.xml

  Is there anyway to avoid having CustomDictionary.xml uninstalled when FxCop is uninstalled before installing a new version It would be nice to be able to keep the work I put into collecting various words/acronyms not found in the Office dictionary. Thanks We've discussed this in the past. Right now, we're re-examining the spelling services and I will put this point on the list for consideration. In the meantime, you might want to place the customdictionary.xml in your user settings directory. FxCop will pick it up, and it won't be blasted on an uninstall. After installing a new version, you can copy over the file and hope we hav ...Show All
