• SQL Server Transfer Objects Task limitation

  Hi all, Quick question. What is the thinking behind the limitation of not being able to transfer objects between different databases on the same server Why is that limitation there -Jamie We're looking at this for the next CTP. The original reason was just design oversight. There are some objects that are global and don't make much sense to move, in fact are unable to move to the same server because it would be an overwrite, however objec ...Show All

• Visual C# Read-only wrappers for derived classes

  Can anyone point me to a good method for implementing read-only wrappers around a derived class rather than, for example, a simple collection What I mean is that I have class A which inherits from class B. B is not abstract, so can and will be instantiated on its own. I need to be able to create read-only versions of A and B. The only way I've come up is to have a class ReadOnlyB : B, blocking writes and forwarding reads. That's fine. But ...Show All

• Visual Basic Automatically Force tableadaptor.fill command for access database

  Im making a small app for internal use, that is based on an access database. It will be run on a terminal server with at most 3 people using it. They will probably want to use it at the same time. Does anyone know if it is possible to have a timer running in the program, that checks to see if the source database has changed (say the timer tick occurs every 60 seconds), and if it has, forces the table adaptors on the active form to run a fill ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. [MDX] Constrain cursor to fullscreen window?

  First of all, I'm not at all sure that this is a DirectX question or a C# question. If it is misplaced please tell me so and I'll repost it elsewhere. But here goes: I have two monitors in dualview, that is: if I move my cursor to the right of my screen it pops up on the other screen. When I'm in windowed mode I would like this behaviour but in fullscreen I would like to constrain the cursor to the primary screen / the fullscreen application. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild scripts calling MSBuild scripts

  I need help on this. I have MSBuild scripts doing our deployment to our test servers. However, I have run into a problem. I have a main MSBuild script that copies files to our servers. The servers then use a .bat listener to move the files around and then they set a flag saying they're done. No Wait, While, Sleep, For Loops... I can't figure out a way to make my main MSBuild script wait for the flag to be written. However, this whole ...Show All
