• Visual Studio How do you remove outdated history information?

  In the Visual SourceSafe help there is a page entitled " How to: Reduce the Size of a Database".  One of the things it mentions to do is "If your projects have outdated history information, remove it."  But there are no instructions on how to do that. In the file history dialog there is no delete button.  There appears to be no simple way to delete unwanted versions.  I could delete ALL the history by getting the latest version, delete the file from the database, then add it back.  Or I could get the latest version, rollback the file to some previous version, check it out without getting latest, then ...Show All

• Visual Basic Molecular graphics

  Is anyone using the Viewer (from Accelrys) with VB 2005 It is an ActiveX component for 3D Molecular (OpenGL) graphics. It is one of the elements that did not successfully make the transiton from VB6 to VB2005. In VB2005 (express or VS2005) I could add the COM reference to the ToolBox. The code accepts the usual commands for "AxViewerControl401". I can compile the program. But any attempts to run the statements will cause an error: "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." Alternative: Can anyone suggest another source for such graphics ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the User Limitation on Express Advanced?

  What is the number of users that can access SQL Server Experss 2005 Advanced edition. Would like to know before I travel down the road of using it. TIA SQL Server 2005 Express has no built, hard coded user limit... that doesn’t mean that you won’t eventually run into one though. Aside from the obvious database and tool differences between Express and the bigger versions one key difference is its lack of a workload governor so the efficiency which limits performance if the database engine receives more work than is typical of a small number of users. ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development YEAH WELL....

  This is the second time I've posted this thread. Since it got deleted it probably meant that the following suggestion is completely impossible. Anyway... I have little experience with the actual internal goings on of a PC. I've built a few in my time but the specific functions are a mystery to me. It seems that the optional harware in PCs (gfx/sound cards) are there simply to process inputted information then convert it into some kind of output (monitor/speakers). If this is basically all these do then surely one could build a program which runs through the processor and performs the same task, or maybe it could enhance the performance of ...Show All

• SQL Server Puzzled by concurrent update

  I have a puzzle in my mind here. I will thank anyone who can solve my puzzle. I am not familiar with SQL and its theories behind, so please bear with me if I am asking a stupid newbie question. My puzzle is generally a problem of generating sequence numbers. The following SQL is only a stripped down version - it fetches the max number, add 1 to it and updates the table with the new number. DECLARE @max int SELECT @max = MAX(next_number) + 1 from sequence_numbers UPDATE sequence_numbers SET next_number = @max WHERE next_number = @max Now if user1 gets 100 and user2 also gets 100 and they both try to update the tabl ...Show All
