• .NET Development Remote Connect to MS Access DB using a static IP

  I am working on a project in VB.net where I have to connect to an MS Access database that is located on a remote computer and I have to connect to it over Internet using that computer's IP Address. Any ideas how the connection string should look like I tried to connect to the computer by going to Start >> Run and then ran the command \\xxx.xxx.xx.xxx but it says the computer cannot be found. Is this because I'm not on the same network as that computer How will I be able to achieve the connection and be able to access the database All Dot net gurus, I will appreciate your replies.

• Software Development for Windows Vista "Tracking workflows which are already tracked" - Problem

  Following screnario: I have business objects of the type Order and OrderItem. For each of these a workflow is started. I use the SqlTrackingService, so running workflows get written to the db, and I am able to track them with the WorkflowMonitor (included in the Windows SDK I think). If such an Order- or OrderItemWofklow gets aborted or canceled the chance of restarting the workflow with the same objects is still present. The only problem is that the Guid of the started workflows was chosen by myself to be the same as the Order / OrderItems. But if a workflow gets aborted, or canceled, it is still in the tracking database. And when ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scene data

  Hi, Does anyone have any tips on how to run through scene-data. I've noticed that the data has to be 'tree-like' because you have objects, groups of objects and groups within groups. For example, if I have the text - 'This' in my 3d scene, all the letter objects are in a group (with a common origin), and the 2 parts that make the 'i' are in a group that is within the group. I had a good idea of writing a function which runs through the data, and when it comes across a group of objects - it calls itself . This works well with tree-like data. However, I'm not sure if the processing that goes on when a dynamic function ...Show All

• Architecture Entity Aggregation in the BLL/DAL world

  Hi all, I've started to read the paper about entity aggregation ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/dngrfSOAChallenges-EntityAggregation.asp ) and I've started to wonder - In layered service programming, where you have the service interface, the business process, business components and data components, we sometimes want to do an aggregation of entities (for example - an order might contains the order and order line details, but might also contain customer information, history of shippment etc.), each of them handled by it's own business component and data component. So if I want to create a se ...Show All

• Visual Basic Migrating from Ms Access to SQL Server 2000

  Hi, Is there many changes need t o be done in order to change my DBMS. Currently, i'm using Microsoft Access in my VB.net program. however, i need to change the DBMS to SQL Server. So what should i do can i still use back the same coding what namespace should i include Hi there, Firstly, I would consider using the Access Upsizing Wizard to migrate your database from MS Access to SQL Server if you have not done so already. If you've migrated via a different means, then a good start would be having the database schemas for the two databases almost identical (you won't get an exact match because SQL Server 2000 has a couple of differe ...Show All
