• SQL Server After Install of 2005 still 2000 Engine!

  I have installed the new SQL Server 2005, but I see my local database as version 8.9.193, means SQL Server 2000. I do not know why setup did not upgrade it. What do I need to do now  I think some new options are now working because of that... Was your SQL Server 2005 installation successful   And did you do an upgrade, or a separate instance installation   Check to see if you have a second instance of sql server running, this may be your SQL 2005 installation. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Allignment of windows forms

  Hey guys Pls let me know how do i make my forms auto-adjust when at the run time i maximize them This problem occurs since at design time i am not able to make a fullsize form, it becomes very difficult to handle. Thus at run time when maximized white spaces are left while the controls remain in the original positions.. Also tell me if it is possible to design a form in its maximized size at the design time There is a easy way to do this, each Control have a property named " ANCHOR ", that is very useful in resizing/positioning the control when the form is maximized/minimized. Hope so this might help you. ...Show All

• .NET Development JIT: different code emitted for the same IL in the same process

  I'm trying to find out what factors could affect the JIT mechanism so it would produce different binary code for the same method within the same process. An assembly, unless domain-neutral, can be JITted multiple times during the process lifetime, when loaded into a new application domain. Somehow I thought that, because typically none of the factors like the assembly footprint, system configuration etc. are changing during a process lifetime, it was expected to see the assembly's IL be JITted identically every time. Well, sometimes happens to be not so. One scenario I found is this: consider a CLR 1.1 application that creates an extra AppDo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office (no symbols loaded for any call stack frame

• Visual C++ Why is strdup() deprecated in VS 2005?

This post has been edited either by the author or a moderator in the Microsoft Forums: http://forums.microsoft.com You may not care about it, but I do.  I don't want to disable the warning because I think the concerns with most of the deprecated functions are very valid, and only wished Microsoft had done this a long time ago.  As such, I have taken the opportunity to change a lot of my code to use the new functions.  The problem ...Show All

• Visual Basic Selecting a record from Data Grid

  I have a data grid that displays records.  I would like to be able to click on any one of those records and have another form popup to display all the information attributed to that record. How do I reference the row that I have selected Thanks in advance Just to note... The most correct way to do this is to have the DataGridView bound to a BindingSource. The bindingsource is bound to your datatable. Now in the click event handler of the grid, you simply cast the BindingSource.Current into a DataRowView and you now have complete, safe access to all the values in the DataRow. ...Show All

  I believe that microsoft programmers could not calculate. why is 21cmx29.7cm not A4 i must use 8,27inx11,69in to have A4. i think there are some digits wrong, but this is a other problem. my problem is, if i export a report (A4) like this example http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx postid=22277&siteid=1  to an image for print, the page size of the report is not correct. the whole report is 70% smaller. i tested <DeviceInfo> with no Pagesize and no Margin, so the renderengine should use the default size of the report. i also tested it with the A4 size converte ...Show All

• SQL Server Watermark Generation is Invalid Error

  We are currently doing a proof of concept using SQL 2005 merge replication.  However we are currently encountering the following errors: "The common generation watermark is invalid at this replica since it does not exist or metadata for changes not yet propagated may have been cleaned up." " The merge process failed because it detected a mismatch between the replication metadata of the two replicas, such that some changes could be lost leading to non-convergence. This could be due to the subscriber not having synchronized within the retention period, or because of one of the replicas being restored to a backup older than retention ...Show All
