• SQL Server Disabling Product Feedback on en masse deployment?

  Hello. After installing SQL 2005 Enterprise (MSDN-version), I was greeted with Product Feedback pop-ups on opening SSMS. I'm all about product feedback (hence why I'm here), but before I deploy a final/non-MSDN version to lots of users, I was wondering - if this also occurs with the non-MSDN version - if there is a way to pre-disable the feedback options I assume you're referring to the Watson and SQM messages, which I think is the final screen of the Setup process. This is present in all versions of the product. One way to disable the pop-up is to do a command line install, specifying an appropr ...Show All

• Visual C# Design of 'this'

  Hi All, I seek a clarification in the design of the 'this' keyword in C#. Let us consider this bit of code- class Test { public Test() { Test t1 = this ; } } This is fair enough,it works-memory for the instance of Test has been created and Test1 has been made to point to the current instance.Fine Contrast the above to the following code class Test { Test t1 = this ; public Test() { } } This gives an error saying that 'this' is not valid in the specified context.Why Would the code in the second example not be equivalent to the code in the first example Lets ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ListView sorting question

  Hi I have a ListView control called HSlist on a form which has 3 columns. The adding data seems to work OK, but the sorting is weird to say the least. Initially, I thought that the list would be sorted on the contents in the first column, so I added to the ListView with the Item containing the data that I wanted the list to be sorted on (numerical). Then I found that the list was being sorted on the second column (strings), so I swapped the adding routine so that the numerical data was now in the second column - the list now was being sorted on the first column (strings). What I want, is either to be able to dictate which column the ...Show All
