• Visual C++ project is always 'out of date'

  I recently upgraded a vs 2003 project (standard C++ console application, reasonably complex, links to several libraries including Boost, Blitz++, and fftw).

• SQL Server No Real in 2005??[:S]

  I have SP that run on SQL 2000 and now supposed to run on 2005. I recieve error when trying to use variable of type real. on the help docs, I found no using type real, they say to use Float(24). Is it possible What can I do Help me please... The syntax for specifying precision and scale for real is invalid. Unfortunately SQL2000 accepts the invalid syntax and it doesn't do anything actually. This seems to have been missed from the deprecated features list for SQL Server 2005. This syntax also doesn't work in older compatibility levels. I will investigate this further. Thanks for bringing this to our attenti ...Show All

  Hi, I have installed SQL standard Edition in my computer for one project. We want to kick off a new project, and intend to use SQL Express, Will anybody advise me whether I can install SQL express when SQL Standard Edition is there or I need to remove SQL standard Edition first and install SQL express Thanks a lot Haihong Yes absolutely you can install them side-by-side.

  I have built both a sample DataGridViewCalendarColumn, and a DataGridViewMaskedColumn as can be found in published samples, BUT after building these samples they do not appear in the "Edit Columns" ColumnType drop down list(s). If I manually modify the InitializeComponent() method, changing the designer code, the "Custom Column" code functions as expected, BUT upon return to the "Designer" the designer indicates it cannot find the "Custom Columns". Does anyone have any ideas on why this does not appear You may have more luck if you post this question in the Windows Forms Designer forum... Best reg ...Show All
