• SQL Server the SQL server is Challenging me....:-)

  Hi everyone, I had an old VisualStudio.Net version thet started going nuts, so I thought its time to install the beta 2 version. then started the problems .... when trying to uninstalling the SQL server, the computer shouted it's impossible. so I uninstalled the SQL tools first and then the uninstalation succeded. (it wasn't recommended by the operating system) after removing everything I wanted to install the new SQL server that comes with the beta 2 kit & I got a weird loop: the setup wizard said there should be some old SQL components that should be removed by the "build cleanup wizard", but the cleanup wiz. didn't find them ...Show All

I'm traversing throgh the AppSettings section of one web.config and adding the key and value found for each element into the AppSettings of another WebConfigurationManager (I was hoping that this could be done in memory instead of writing to the web.config and saving).

• SQL Server Locking a file

  I am currently developing an data collection application that utilizes SQL Express 2005, I do not have the funds atm to upgrade to another version. I will be offering a free/crippled version of my application available for download. I do not want the free version to require the user to install SQL Express 2005 to use the data base. My question is this, I am wondering if I can take the database file itself and lock it, then use it like a flat file. I have seen this done with Microsoft Access before, but i want to use SQL because of the other versions are using it and will make the process of users upgrading less painful. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unlock bug ?? TF10152 The Item <> must remain locked ...

  I did a recursive lock of an entire source (yikes that took so long I killed the console window).  In order to unlock everything I did the same thing again except that I used the /lock:none switch.  But I get a bunch of errors like these: TF10152: The item $/TestCmmiTemplate/Trunk/WWW/default.gif must remain locked because its file type prevents multiple check-outs. Now we added GIF as a file type that doesn't allow multiple checkouts (or merging).  In this case, I am clearly trying to drop the lock but TF doesn't seem to see it that way.  This seems like a bug to me.  It turns out that UNDO will drop the lock ...Show All

• .NET Development VBScript

  Hello, I have been using the VBScript language trough the scriping runtime engine. I would like to know if I can upgrade to some other scripting language which works with .net instead of COM. Thanks. Hello Ori, Yes, there are a number of scripting languages which have been ported to the .NET Framework/Common Language Runtime.
