• Visual Studio VSS no longer finds the 'Registered Application' for .sql files

  Hi, I have no idea how this happened, but VSS no longer shows a 'Registered Application' for .sql files.

• Visual J# J# rookie: need help with multiple forms

  Hi, Firstly, thanks to anyone who responds! I have only about a month's worth of experience using .NET and J#, and a semester's worth of Java (a year ago). Needless to say, I'm no expert. I'm building an application that has about twenty separate Windows Forms. I have a Main Menu Form that I would like to be the application's welcome screen, and is intended to direct the user to other parts of the application through the use of clicking several buttons.

• SQL Server Copy data from one table to another

  On the OLE DB Source, I have as following: select field1 , field2 , field3 from table_source On the OLE DB Destination, I used fast load option with table lock checked, and check constraints to copy data to table_destination. Both table_source and table_destination have the same table definitions. After the dtsx package ran, the number of rows copy over to the destination is not same. I got different results from different runs. This only happens when the source table is over 1 million rows and when I'm copying from the transaction database where user's activities are heavy. Any ideas how I can modify the package so it can copy ...Show All

• Visual C++ C# or C++;

  Though in our university we study C#(recently),I make my programs in C++.Is there any danger my programs will not run in C# and run in C++ When my program is ready I change the *.cpp extension to *.c extension.Until now I am not concerned with GUI,fonts e.t.c.Only Win32 Console projects with header files included sometimes in these projects. I think you've mixed up some things a bit. You ask about C# and C++ but then you say you change the extension from *.cpp to *.c. That looks like you are asking about C and C++. That said the combinations are like this: 1. Changing from *.c to *.cpp will work most of the times. 2. Changing f ...Show All

• SQL Server sql express

  Hi We have a VB6 & mdac 2.8 app accessing a SQL database. We are moving clients from MSDE to SQLExpress - we notice that some calls to open the database in SQL Express take a couple of seconds - this never happens in the MSDE scenarios - the connection string is always the same. Any ideas - we tell out clients SQL2005 is a good thing but it is proving to be slower - this happens when even we only have one user - so it's not a multi user thing. thanks Bruce Thanks for the reply - can I ask what do you base this answer on Thanks Bruce ...Show All
