• SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005 Standard

  I'm new to SQL Server and am just getting started with it. I received a copy of SQL Server 2005 Standard edition from the Launch Party here in Ottawa and successfully installed it on my server yesterday. I've look around the Internet, as well as the DVD for SQL Server Management Studio, but I have been unable to find it. The only thing that I have been able to find the the Management Studio Express which targets SQL Server 2005 Express. Can someone direct me to the Management Studio that targets the Standard edition Thank you. You're not going to find Management Studio as a standalone on the DVD or on the ...Show All

• SQL Server Limit lists lines per page using grouping doesn't work?

  I have a list that I need to limit to only five lines before starting a new page. I read somewhere that you can create a group for the list that looks like this: =Ceiling(RowNumber(nothing)/5). However when I do this I only get every fifth row (1, 6, etc). The in-between rows don't show at all. I tried it on the Advertureworks SalesOrderDetail sample and noticed it works with the table, but when I replace that table with a list it doesn't work. Is there some other way to get the list to only have 5 rows before starting a new page Is this a bug in the list thanks- -Jim ...Show All

• Visual Studio Batching a target without using the Inputs and Outputs parameters

  I am trying to make a target that will run once on each item in my list.  At first, I just used the Inputs attribute: Inputs="%(ExistingPatches.FullPath)" That worked fine for a while.  Then I decided that I needed to add an Outputs parameter so that my target could be called by MSBuild and have its output item list returned in the MSBUild task's TargetOutputs field: Outputs="@(ExistingPatchesWithMetaData)" Since the ItemList that this target outputs is empty by default, MSBuild skips the target. 2. Is there a way to batch a target without using the Inputs field       2.b) If not, is there a way to skip depende ...Show All

• Windows Forms Customized Designer Code

  I'm working on an application where I need some special initialization on each form and therefore would like to extend the Designer code. Currently, I manually add my special initialization method to the form and call it after InitializeComponent(). After making changes on the form I always have to check my init method and eventually change it according to the new form layout. My question is: is it possible to extend Visual Studio 2005 Professional in a way it automatically creates the code for my init method and adds this code to the InitializeComponent() method (or another method) in the separated Designer code file If yes, where can I f ...Show All

• .NET Development Time Verification

  Hi. I am developing a VB .Net app for computer rentals, which are saved in an access db. Four of my fields are Date, StartTime, EndDate and PC. My problem is verifying if the StartTime is bigger than the EndTime. It all works ok, but when I enter per example from 23:00 to 01:00, 1 isn't bigger than 23... But this is correct. Is there anyway to ccorrect this problem Thanks, Pedro Querido Does your date field apply to both, or have only the date of the starting time If you have a start date and and an end date, you could combine the date and time fields when doing your comparison. If you don't have dates attached to your ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions container

  I am developing an application where I need to store 100's of html files (Static - already I know the number and name of the files) and when customer clicks some option I need to display the file...

• .NET Development VS 2005 hardwa AMD or Intel?

  I have VS 2005 Beta2 installed on my P4 2,4MHz machine and now I'm planning to buy a new machine with x64 processor. Can anyone suggest what to buy: Intel or AMD chip. Which is better for VS Regards Go with AMD, they own the x64 instruction set and the OS was built against their processors. Intel have licensed x64 from AMD and built their own processors. Personally I see no reason at all to use Intel, unless their some significant price/perf reason, Intel had nothing to do with x64 other than entering into a license arrangement with AMD. H ...Show All
