• Smart Device Development Treo 700w Emulator connection pob

  Hello i have recently installed the Treo 700w emulator. I can open the Device Emulator Manager and run the Treo 700 emulator, even sync it with Activesync, but I can not connect to it from MSVS 2005.

Location of Treo 700w emulator from where you installed it. 2. Build number of Visual Studio ...Show All

• Windows Forms Insert command ADO.net

  Hi, I have to insert 10-15 rows in the database. Should I insert them one by one or there is a ADO.net function that mass inserts values or a function that I can use to run multiple queries Thanks, Hi, What you can do is write a user-defined function say InsertData() which will accept as parameters the values you wish to enter into the database and write an Insert command with those parameters. Within your calling function, each time you wish to perform an insert, call InsertData and supply it the desired values. If you are accepting values for the insert from the user, you can do so withi ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting Server and multiple clients

  Hi, I have implemented a remoting server application that host a remote object that is refernced by multiple client applications.(SAO, singleton). Windows applications. Thus, it is straightforward that client applications use the proxy object hosted by the server to invoke methods directly. This is a straightforward request-reply mechanism. However, in order for the server to notify multiple clients, the client applications have also hosted a remote object. The server can then create a proxy object hosted by a client application and invoke methods directly. (such as notify() ); However since there are multiple clients, and each cli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Moving to SQL Server 2005

  I have some books on order so hopefully my immediate questions will be answered shortly without too much help from others here. I have lots of experience developing/using SQL Server 2000, so I thought taking up SQL Server 2005 wouldn't be too much of a mind shift. How wrong could I be My initial experience of SQL Server 2005 is not particularly positive because I seem to be struggling to get off first base. I had expected to see an updated copy of the Enterprise Manager that I was familiar with in SQL Server 2000, but no such thing seems to exist for SQL Server 2005 on my development PC (or at least, I can't find it if it is there).

• SQL Server Pakcage Error...How to read files on a different domain?

  So did some troubleshooting on the my previous post - http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx PostID=272319&SiteID=1 Thanks to everyone who tried to help... So I got some insight into what is happening. My package was having trouble reading files on a remote domain although I mapped the drives locally. This does not cause either running the package to failed either through directly running under VSS, or Execution Utility. But it failed when I try to schedule it through SQL server agent. I wonder if it is the security context problem and asking for help of how to get around that issue. So I have a for each file loop cont ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merge Changeset Question/Suggestion

  Recently I have been having to merge changesets between 2 branches in our source control using Team Explorer (VS2005), and have been encountering some difficulties in doing it. Now I realise that I might not be using the correct method, but I haven't found another yet :) And apologies if this has already been addressed, I did have a search through the forums for another thread on this topic, but might have missed it. Anyway, what we generally do in our release cycle, is once we have branched off a release, we continue working in our main branch, and periodically merge over some of our changes to the release branch (bug fixes e ...Show All
