• SQL Server 2005 Maintenance Plan or Security bug?

  Curious if this scenario is by design or a possible bug.   As recommended by MS best practices for SQL 2000 we always removed the BUILTIN\Administrators login.  After doing the same on our 2005 installations it appears to have caused errors in the edit\view functionality in the Maintenance Plans and jobs.  One example is to open a plan in modify mode and then select the logging button. - 'Unhandled exception ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Specific questions of animation handling

  Hi, In my app, I've created an animation that makes my window bigger. Now I added a button to my window that controls that. When I push that button, the window gets bigger, but at this point I want to change the animation of my button, because when I click it again, I want it to make my window smaller again. Guess the best way to do this is to call the animation from the code-behind, but that's where I get stuck. I've created that animation in E ...Show All

• Visual C# How to break single exe into smaller dll for update

  Hi, All. We were writing a large application and everything was good until we faced the application update problem. We need to update the application for the clients pretty frequently, but for now it is one single .exe file; therefore, to make an update our clients have to download the entire exe file each time. Is it possible to break the exe file into some smaller files (possibly dlls), so that, for example, if I make some changes in the ...Show All

• .NET Development OutOfMemoryException and Garbage Collection doesn't work how I thought it would

  I designed this code snippet to test garbage collection.  It doesn't do what I thought it would do though.  The idea was to allocate a chunk of memory, but to discard the reference to that chunk by letting the variable that holds the reference fall out of scope.  When it runs out of memory on the heap, I expected the garbage collector to run automatically and that the allocation would succeed.  But there are a couple of w ...Show All
