• SQL Server No witness, primary shutsdown, bring failover online

  First of all, Great webcast today. My question is, I have everything up and running and would like to know what to do when the machine my primary is on quits or has a some type of disaster. Do I need to manually run recovery on each db that was mirrored I'm not currently running a witness. thanks No, you don't need to recover anything but depending on which mode you are running you will need to iether manually initiate a failover from server A to B or force the service from server A to B because you are running without a witness. do you know what mode you are running, high-performance or high-protect ...Show All

• .NET Development What .Net Framework to use???

  Hi, I'm building a windows forms application to be downloaded from the Internet and allow the users to connect to a server and exchange information using Sockets. My dilemma is what version of .Net to use. I wanted to use 2.0 but I'm afraid that users will quit the download if they have to get a 20MB .Net install file. I know I can have an application stub and do all the downloading after user runs setup.exe but still it takes about 12min in a DSL to download the framework. At the other hand I don't want to stay back with .Net 1.1, which has a greater penetration in desktops; Visual Studio 2005 and .Net 2.0 have some great features. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Printing from VB Express

  I have come across several posts indicating that it is nearly impossible to print documents, much less interact with Word, when using Visual Basic Express. Is this true If so, will this functionality ever be included or will I have to either purchase Visual Studio or learn another language While not impossible to print in VB 2005 ( this includes the Express Edition too) it takes a bit of work to get the results you want. There are a lot of printing capabilities in VB 2005, but, you need to do some reading to maximize your results. Doing a Google Search in the Groups section will find a lot of info on print ...Show All

• .NET Development Failed to create an IPC Port: Access is denied.

  I have a service that registers a remoting IPC channel on startup and quite often I will get this error when the service is stopped and then restarted. It doesn't do it all the time but enough to be an annoyance and when the service is stopped I do unregister the channel. Anyone else experience this Thanks!! It's actually hosted in a Windows service. Most times I can stop and start the service successfully but then there are other times when it keeps generating the Access Denied message until I either reboot the server or keep restarting the service until it successfully starts. ...Show All

• Windows Forms binding to a combobox

  beta2 seems to be a step backwards from the feb ctp I was using before.  When I configre a table in the dataset to the controls I want, sometimes I choose a combobox. When I drag it to the form, beta2 sets the databinding to the text, rather than the selected value.  Of course, it displays all wrong.  So each time I have to change the databinding to the selected value.  Is this a bug dennist That's awesome.  I had no idea you could just drag the table onto the combobox.  I had been searching on how to do this for almost a day now.
