• SQL Server path query in cyclic graph? --recursive CTE

  Hi I wrote a simple sql query to get the shortest path length from node 1 to all the other nodes. Since there's a loop in the graph, I want to prevent it from going back to some nodes it has expanded before. I got the following error: Msg 253, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Recursive member of a common table expression 'CTE_Sample' has multiple recursive references. It is referring to "and Table1.t NOT IN (select fr from CTE_Sample)" Can somebody help me to solve it btw.

• Visual Studio VC++ 6.0 installer crashes on xp

  I have winxp pro SP1 US.  When trying to install VC++ 6.0 pro, I just get this message: 'setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.' A crash. But think the cd is good.  Are there problems installing vc++ 6 on xp  I'm wondering if some file in my one year old xp installation is corrupted, and is causing this crash.  Other apps install just fine, but then again they probably use a different installer.  I'm hoping to avoid having to reinstall xp, cause it takes hours, and other programs work fine still.

• Visual Basic [VB6] Large number of environment variables cause crash

    Environment variables If I create a large number of dummy environment variables ( to simulate client issue) my VB6 application crashes. The application does not request any environment variables directly so could this be a memory issue.

• Visual Studio Team System Extra strain report (overeffor or sobreesfuerzo in spanish)

  I dont know if I told it right in english but I would like to make a report that telles me if I plan a task for 10 hours, and it took 12 hours, there is an "sobreesfuerzo " of 120% in that task. Hola, In order to create such a report, I recommend using the report designer and writing an MDX query using the Baseline Work, Completed Work and Remaining Work measures and creating a calculated measure to compute the percentage you want(slice the data by the appropriate dimension measures such as Work Item Title or ID....).

• .NET Development MultiStream files

  Hi all. I have a "small" problem: I have noticed that if I am using FileStream to open a file that contains multiple streams, I am getting only the main stream of that file. Do you know if there is any possibility to read the whole file Thanks. Mircea I honestly don't know. I am not part of the product team (or Microsoft), but based on the information on MSDN Product Feedback (see my original reply), they are currently deciding if it is in the Visual Studio "Orcas" release or not. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Shortcut Keys

  How can a make a shortcut key combination ( ie ctrl+shift+q) open a form Assuming you mean at runtime... just for note though... traditionally a shortcut key is a keystroke that works inside of the app... like alt-f bringing up the file menu... what you are looking for is a keystroke that would be able to trigger an event regardless of what app is running... for that you are looking more into the realm of setting up a hotkey. Take a look at this CodeProject article for some code and an explanation on how to do it. ...Show All

What is the best way to do this private void NewXML_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { xml_groupBox.Controls.Clear(); xml_groupBox.Controls.Add(xmlUserControl1); } Cisco This is indeed a best practice, here is a little example to create an control that will fill the container control ( xml_groupBox ) because we set the Dock property to DockStyle.Fill and add it: private void NewXML_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { xml_groupBox.Controls.Clear(); XmlUserCo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Publish and Subscribe Callbacks. Client Notification of Server Crash.

  I am writing a program that uses the Subscribe and Publish pattern with WCF callbacks. I am concerned that if the server shuts down (crashes) the client will still think he is subscribed to the service and waiting for notifications. Does anyone know of a way for the client to be notified that the service not longer has his subscription Let me know if you need any more information. John Please see this sample. I think it may be what you're looking for. http://windowscommunication.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx Control=2258&tabindex=2 Thanks, Scott ...Show All

• .NET Development XML Comments

  On the new XML comment features (which is really cool by the way) you can add remarks (comments, remarks) to your classes and methods. But how do you add this to a root namespace Because the root namespace is not visible on the Vb form. John   I was just curious because if you go to Object Browser you will see XML comments on the namespaces (which can be done if I was to declare a namespace in my form). I was just wondering if it could be done at the root namespace level, so i am guessing it cannot. Thanks, John ...Show All
