• .NET Development server error when using Parameters.Add function...any suggestions?

  Hello, I'm a bit new to DB programming and the .NET framework but I think I am picking it up fast. I've been handed an application that has been working for some time now until recently when the system was upgraded to the latest version of IBM DB2. I've tracked the error down to a line of code and was hoping that someone could give me some suggestions as to what may be the problem. I have a function that takes an Object ByVal. In the function all I am doing is checking to see if the value passed in is 0 or not and then adding parameters to a DB2Command class variable. This function is called twice. I'll try to outline the code and remo ...Show All

• SQL Server Why can't I see my Web Developer Express database from SQL Server Management Studio Express?

  Hi, I'm completely new to SQL Server and ASP.NET, so please bear with me on my learning curve! I've installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (on the same PC). I then used Web Developer Express to successfully create a new database with a couple of tables in it. So far so good. I then installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the same PC and tried to connect to my new database. The connection to the SQL Server instance appears to work OK (using Windows Authentication) but I can't see the database I previously created. All I can see are the System Databases. Does anyone know what the solution might be ...Show All

• Visual C# synchronizing picture.Left and progressBar value

  I have this progressbar and a running mouse gif under it. I want whenever a green sqare appears in the progressBar, the mouse to take its value and stay exaxtly under it. The problem is that sometimes the progressBar graphical presentation increments itself by 1 sqare, sometimes by 2.Somehow the graphical representation of the progressBar leaves my mouse image behind. Is there any way I can synchronize my pictureBox movement to the right and the value of the progressBar I tried using picturebox.Left = progressbar.Value But it is not giving me the desired result. Hope you can help me! PictureBox.Left = p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Mechanism to see Work Item Queries actual SQl Statement

  Is there a mechanism to see Work Item Queries actual SQL statement without needing to do a witexport There's no mechanism to see the SQL statements corresponding to a work item query.  However, if you are referring to the WIQL (or Work Item Query Language) for a query, you can see this by doing a Save As... from VS on the query.  Save the query as a .WIQ file and open the file in notepad to see the XML with the embedded WIQL query.  To learn more about WIQL, download the VS 2005 SDK October edition from http://affiliate.vsipmembers.com/affiliate/downloadfiles.aspx  and view the Team System section. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA on Windows XP ??

  Hi people. This is my first post in MS forums, so please, don't make me alone in this thread :) I found on Wikipedia that "The XNA Framework is based on the .NET Framework 2.0. It will also include a version of the Common Language Runtime, which is optimized for gaming requirements. The runtime will be available for both Windows XP, Windows Vista and the Xbox 360." Does it mean, and it is true, that some version of XNA will be made for Windows XP I know that DX10 is Vista only, but I was hoping that some version of XNA, (I assume XNA will have DX9 support too ) would be running on Windows XP too, so my ...Show All

  Hello, I experience the following problem: I have a data table in the database, which includes float and smalldatetime columns. These columns can accept nulls.
