• Visual C# what are those files VS2005 creates?

  When i compile my application, there are 3 files it creates: <projectname>.exe <projectname>.vshost.exe <projectname>.pdb i know that <projectname>.exe is the executable file, but are the other two's Which one of those 2 should i include when i want somebody else to debug my program What are the basic ideas of the other 2 files please let me know :) The other two files are related to debugging, but only the .pdb is necessary if you want to give your application to other people to debug.  The .pdb file contains the 'debugging symbols' for your applicaiton.  Having it will allow the debugger to re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTE for Developers as stand alone

  Hi I have today VS.NET 2003 with Compuware DevPartner Studio. For VS 2005 an option would be to upgrade to VSTE for Developers instead of Visual Studio 2005 Professional (and drop the DevPartner Studio). As a stand-alone developer which upgrade path should  I take Thanks in advance for your input. Ivo The VSTS SKUs provide functionality such as profiling, code analysis, load testing, and unit test authoring and execution. These features are valuable as a stand-alone developer, I think. The Team Foundation SKUs might be less interesting to you, as they provide work item tracking, source controls, ...Show All

• SQL Server copy database tables

  Hi! Can someone tell me how I can copy my database which is made with SQLExpress or the tables to another SQL server. The servers could be SQL server 2000 and SQLExpress. Thanks! SQL Server Express --> SQL Server Express (or any other 2005er edition), just detach the mdf file (if possible) and copy it to the destination location, then attach the orginal one to the server again, and attach the copy to the remote server -done. If you have no maintainance window to do so, make a backup and a restore on the other server (could take a bit longer but keeps your database online during the whole time) SQL Server Express --> dow ...Show All

• .NET Development selecting network interfaces

  Hello everyone, I have been trying to find a way to activate/inactivate network cards in .NET, kinda like ifconfig up and ifconfig down on Linux. The reason is that I simply don't want Windows to automatically choose one interface over the other and use this, but to decide for myself. Is there any good way to do this in .NET I found that IP Helper API can list all interfaces, but it does not seem to be able to manage them. Thanks a lot for any tips! / Roland Ahh, yes. We could have pointed you in that direction if you had mentioned that it was for use with a socket.  Your original question only spec ...Show All

• SQL Server Converting from Access.mdb database to SQL 2005

  Is there anywhere a program which will convert my 30MB Access database into a SQL2005 database   I've tried the upsizing wizard in Access 2000 and it just bombs.  From the performance hits I now have with my data access since I went to VB.net 2005 and using ADO.net instead of ADO classic, I need to do something.  The ADO.net now takes almost 3 times the time to do my table stuff.  Was using Server side cursors under classic and data access was fast (Is a remote table).  Now the data access is a hog, takes anywhere from 1.5-3 seconds to retrieve a record.  As an added thought, I had done ADO Classic in the VB. ...Show All

• .NET Development web service access issues

  first I'd like to apologise if I'm starting a duplicate thread here, but after searching for a half hour I was unable to solve this issue. I am new to developing in a microsoft enviroment, more used to unix so please bear with me. I have written a web service using visual studio 2005. Just a sample to try get things working. I then consume it in a windows app (also in VS2005). Both using C#. at first I was using the ASP.NET development web server that launches with VS2005 to serve the web service locally, which was fine. I decided to install IIS (5.1) on my windows XP machine to serve the web service across the network to do some speed tests ...Show All

• SQL Server Selecting only databases in which user has a role

  I have a user in SQL Server 2000 with public, datareader and datawriter roles on several databases. I need to select all those databases, how can I do that. I have tried sp_databases but I get ALL databases. I also tried sp_MShasdbaccess but I still get all databases. Well, it looks like you're on the right track with sp_MShasdbaccess, but there's a catch. If 'you' want to know which db's that 'someonelse' has, 'you' must be able to first switch the user context to 'someonelse' before running sp_MShasdbaccess, alternatively the other user can run it him/her self. The point is that it's reporting acces ...Show All
