• SQL Server Remote Connection problem on MS SQL 2000

  Hello, First, I want to say I read all threads similar this thread and I couldn't solve problem. My firewall is always off when I tried to connect remotly to SQL Server.

It shows only one row as "TCP - 0.0.0.0:1433 to 0.0.0.0:0". What "0.0.0.0" means and why foreign ad ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modifying Images

  I am trying to create a program that displays a map, which is a satellite photograph, of  a street or community for example.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ and SQL Server Permissions

  Hi, I have one reservation about jumping into LINQ for an enterprise application: Security. It seems (and correct me if im wrong) that to be able to use DLinq to perform insert/updates on the database, you would have to allow the database user you connect as, to have insert/update permissions on the tables in the database. This is not considered good practise at the company I work for, where we only give the user execute permissions for store ...Show All

  Hello all, I have a table that contains a whole bunch of clinical statistics. There are some other fields I would like to add, but they are best created on the fly, so I thought I would do this with a view. I can create some of my dynamic fields (like BMI below), but when I try to use them again in the view it doesn't work. (ie, I get an error when I try and include the case statement bit). Does anyone know what I can do Kitty. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing migration from TestDomain to NewDomain

  Hi, I've been testing the process of moving from a Test Domain to a New Domain. Everything went pretty well and at first I thought it had all worked, however there is a slight problem with Reports.
