• SQL Server Views not working

  Hi everyone, i'm currently programming an application for service engineers. In this application I use replication. The problem is that when I add a view to the publication, I still receive all the data. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong Thanks in advance. Even though Views show up in the publication wizard as articles that can be added to a publication, they cannot be replicated to a SQL Mobile subscriber.  SQL Mobile does not support Views.   -Darren Shaffer   ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista 5308 installation fails on Image size verification?

  Does anyone know a workaround for my issue When trying to install Vista 5308, right after entering the Product Key, on the Partition overview (the window to choose your installation partition), I get the following message: Unable to determine the size of the installation image.

• Visual Studio Unable to uninstall VS 2005 beta2

  I forgot to uninstall the previous VS 2005 version in the exact order as the msdn told. And the problem is that I cannot remove .Net Framework 2.0 beta from my PC, even through the uninstall tool. Is there any mean to get ride of the beta version I'm having the same problem. I uninstalled the beta long before this ordered uninstall list was presented. None of the items listed are left in the Add/remove programs list, but I still get the message telling me to uninstall beta versions first. I have looked through the framework folders and removed files that belonged to the 2.0 beta. No change. The uninstall too ...Show All

• Windows Forms Issues with Custom TextBox Control and simple Properties.

  Hi all, I have created this Custom Control that will (well, should) allow me to set the BackColor of my ReadOnly TextBox Controls to whatever Color I specify (instead of the standard dull Gray colour). Now I have created a Class and an Interface to do this, and have then added the Compiled .dll into the ToolBox and included the Control on a Windows Form. But, if I set the ReadOnly Property of the Control to True the BackColor of the Control is still the same. In the overridden OnPaint() method I test the ReadOnly() Property so that I do the Color Drawing. But when the app using this Control runs, the TextBox (which is set to ReadOnly) still ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple Log Files

  Using an expression to set the log filename to include the date and time results in 3 log files being created. Ummm. Why I only ran the package once. Is SSIS not sharing my log file connection among the different components On first thought my workaround would involve using a script task to "set" the log file name to a variable and use an expression to set the log connection to the variable. But the problem with that is that logging starts BEFORE the script task is run... Hi, It would be great if you can give more details about your package. Are you creating the log file in the 'OnPostExe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Package load error

  Hi, I am getting this error: VSIP: Package 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.WCPCommonServices.WCPCommonServicesPackage, Microsoft.VisualStudio.WCPCommonServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' has failed to load ( GUID = {8F583BC9-4E70-4888-A667-4C461AC6D3A5} ).

I also uninstalled the VSIP packages and reinstalled and that did not fix the problem.

• .NET Development Simple question: Best practice to open and use database

  I'm using VB.NET 2005. I would like to know what's the best practice to open and use database First, is there any different in calling the dispose method explicitly and the "using" statement Is the "using" statement better (Cleaner code ) Second, will the GC or .NET runtime know how to clear up the connection, command or datareader objects(all I should say unmanaged object) if I haven't called the dispose method or use the "using" statement Will those objects call the dispose method implicitly when they're out of scope (I don't think so) Third, how about if I open an unmanaged object but haven't called ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Install 5342 problems

  I have downloaded vista 5342. I start installing it and it manages to rech phase 2 of the install. Now after the first restart during phase 2 of the install my screen eventually goes Black. It has an underscore "_" flashing at me in the top left corner of the screen. This also happens to me on build 5308. I heard that this black screen is where the hardware is checked. I have left it on this black screen for 1hour and still no look. I think it will be hardware related.

• Visual Studio Team System Special icon for branch

  Hi, Currently, Folders and branches look the same in the IDE (like regular folders). 1. Is it possible to change the branch icon to a different one 2. Is it possible (in the future) to see a graphic window for the branches (like in ClearCase) Thanks, Michael Maybe. I'm not convinced this is a good idea. Should files that were created thru branching also have this icon instead of taking it from their file type Ok, so we apply your rule only to the root of a branch operation...except files can be branched directly too. Ok, so we special-case folders. Are we willing to make extra server round-trips when refres ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox's behavior in dataGridView

  I have added a combobox column to the dataGridView control. However, when I choose something from the combobox and leave the cell, the selected value gets disappeared: the item changes to blank. I haven't written any code in any of the events. How can I make the selected values stay in the grid private void AddComboBoxColumns( int pInt_InsertAfterColumn) { DataGridViewComboBoxColumn comboboxColumn = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn (); comboboxColumn.HeaderText = "Action" ; comboboxColumn.Items.Add( "In" ); comboboxColumn.Items.Add( "Out" ); this .dataGridView1.Columns.Insert(pInt_InsertAfterColumn, comboboxColumn); } ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro MSComctlLib.TreeCtrl.2 Problem

  Working with the treeView Control I ran into an unexpected problem. It appears to be impossible to collapse a node branch programmatically. Collapse is an event, not a method and when I tried to use it as a method I could not get anywhere. I also tried to employ DblClick with the same negative result--the tree does not budge. Aside from Collapse I will need Expand as a method not event, although I am using it as even already. The expansion perhaps can be best accomplished by THIS . Nodes . Item . EnsureVisible Questions: (1) Is it true that this control has no such capability (collapsing nodes programmatically) or I am doing ...Show All
