• SQL Server server problem occurred during deployment of vb.net application with MSSQL db

  I use .net 2005 and server, the application i developed connects to a locally hosted mssql db, I want to deploy the application together with the db to client machine. when i installed the application on the target machine, and run the application, it gave me this message : "an error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server) I didn't quite understand this message. because in the "S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Ensuring 1 Print Attempt

  I'm creating a system that prints checks and my client wants the system to only allow any particular check to be printed once - only one print attempt per check . Even if the printer jams or the thing messes up and the print job fails that is okay as long as an attempt to print can only occur once per check. (Policy would have us create the check again from scratch) I tried disabling the reportviewer control after the print button is clicked, and that works, but the print dialog box gives the option of printing multiple copies and I could find no way to shut that off. If I could find a way to shut off "Number of Copies" in the print dialo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Foundation Team servers in highly distributed environment

  My team's spread out all over the western US. We use VPN connections to development servers, but ordinarily work disconnected. Currently we're using SourceGear's Vault for source control, and connecting via SSL without opening a VPN connection. Can the Foundation Team Servers be connected to that way, or it the system better suited to teams working within an intranet Thanks, Tom Dacon Dacon Software Consulting By the time we release version 1, I believe that should work, though I know that there are still some issues in the current code.  Beta 3 should get close, I believe, but there may still be some ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Embedding VSTO Spreadsheet in .NET Windows Forms 2.0

  I think I am loosing my sanity on this one. Is there any way to embed a VSTO-enabled spreadsheet on .NET Windows Forms 2.0 I followed this article ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=KB;en-us;304662 ) to no avail. The spreadsheet shows but the Document List doesn't. It looks like the only way to get a VSTO document working is to open it in a standalone mode without giving developers an option to integrate it with custom applications. Embedded documents are not supported in this VSTO version ('v2'). This may apply to your scenario. If you are storing the document in some kind of OLE container the customization may not b ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 SP1 and Peer to Peer Replication

  We are thinking about upgrading to SP1 on all of our database servers. Our servers are running on WIN2K3 Enterprise Edition and we have SQL2005 EE also on these servers. Each server is configured as a distributor and subscriber in a peer to peer topology. The readme on the services pack says to upgrade in a specific order but since all the servers server as a publisher and subscribers how do we do it Has anyone upgraded in this scenario Thanks and have a wonderful day!

• Visual C++ import 3rd-party DLL

  I know that there are many threads about DLLs already, but they all cover the case that you want to import a dll you created yourself first. I'm trying to get the sqlite3.dll working with my programm. This is my code: #define sQliteDLL __declspec( dllimport ) int feedBack; sQliteDLL typedef struct sqlite3 sqlite3; sQliteDLL int sqlite3_open(const char* filename, sqlite3 **ppDb); sqlite3 *db; feedBack = sqlite3_open ("test.db",&db); What I understood so far: I need to create a prototyp of my function etc. with the dllimport-thing to tell the linker where to look for the code of those functions. After that I can use the function ...Show All

• Visual C# Some additional info from documentation

  When MicrosoftR Transaction Server (MTS) was initially released, some folks looked at it and scoffed, "I'm not doing anything with transactions so don't bother me." Despite the use of "transaction" in its name, MTS was about a whole lot more than just transactional support for components. The fact that it shipped as a separate release from the Windows NT operating system only increased its mystique. Unlike its predecessor MTS, COM+ ships with the operating system-the 1.0 version with Windows 2000, and the 1.5 version with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
