Visual C# Authentication Method
First, let me start off by confessing that I am a former VB programmer (Pre .NET days) that has not written a line of code in many years. Now I am trying to dust off the coding cobwebs, learn the .NET framework, learn C#, and adapt to a "true" Object-Orientated method of programming... All at the same time! Now that the laughter in the room has subsided, here is my question: I need to add a login/authentication routine to the da ...Show All
Visual Studio Article on ReportViewer in Visual Studio magazine
http://www.ftponline.com/vsm/2005_11/magazine/features/rjennings/ The article was good, but the steps shown won't work for me in Visual Studio Express 2005. I cannot get the datatable connected to the report. It would have been nice if there had been mention of how to replicate the steps in VWD. Nevermind-- the article mentioned a window named "data sources", and in VWD this is actually a ...Show All
SQL Server SQL express ?
I've been trying to figure out how to Auto Number my database entries in SQL Express and Automate certain parts of data entry for form entries in Visual Web Developer's SQL Express 2005 edition. Could someone clue me in Thanks in advance. DJ I just rewrote my INSERT to include the field names and that solved the problem. I guess I'm used to cheating in MySQL!

Visual Basic ADO.NET Hell
There was a time in my not too distant past that I could open a database with ADO, query out some data, work with it, and update it. I have had VB.Net for a little over a week and I can insert data into a table. I can clear out a table. What I can't do is is iterate through the rows and update the table. I am close but I am missing a piece. From what I have read I want to create a connection, adapter, and a dataSet. ...Show All
.NET Development system.net.mail.smtpclient fqdn required
This seems to be the right place to ask this question. I'm trying to send a simple email message using the SmtpClient in system.net.mail through my own Postfix mail server. I've got UCE controls turned on and the .Send method is rightfully failing during the HELO negotiation because the FQDN of the sending host is not being sent. I don't see anywhere to force this behavior, or to otherwise set the FQDN on the SmtpClient object. I'm missing ...Show All

Visual Basic XCopy deployment of a VB Express app which uses a SQL Server Express database?
It's probably just a case of me not looking in the right place or not seeing the obvious, but does anyone know if a machine with just version 2.0 of the .NET Framework should be able to run a VB.NET Express application which accesses a SQL Server Express database file Or is there an additional requirement for a non-development machine to have some kind of SQL Server Express runtime component in addition to the 2.0 ...Show All
SQL Server web services as data source?
I'm having a difficult time getting a handle how to pass datasets to my remote reports, and I'm trying to avoid programming in C# or VB as much as possible, but it may not be feasible. Although we are successful when we use the Report Designer to cut and paste SQL queries from our TableAdapters, I want to abstract the data access code from the report code, and simplify my reports as much as possible. Can I point to a web service which returns a ...Show All
