Should i upgrade this database Will i have problems after upgrade You cannot open SQL CE 2.0 SDF files in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. The other issue for you is that the upgrade utility cannot convert a SQL CE 2.0 to a SQL Mobile database on a device running Windows CE.NET 4.2. My suggestion would be to copy your SDF file to a device that supports SQL Mobile (PPC2003, WM5, WCE5) and then run the upgrade utility ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Remoting v/s Web Services

  In terms of performance, is there a difference between Web Services and .NET Remoting when the latter is hosted by IIS. If I understand correctly, in this case they would both be using SOAP to communicate with their clients, and I would like to know if there will still be a performance difference. I am trying a weird thing. Since web services transmits only certain data types, I am serializing an object into a stream and then converting it into Byte[]. This then is the return type of the web method. The consumer of this web service can deserialize the byte array provided it has dotnet on it. This way I am able to transfer cus ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedures and SSIS Web Service Task

  I have created a simple Stored Procedure 'hello_world'. This procedure has one argument and returns a string. I exposed this Stored Procudure using ' CREATE ENDPOINT ' and granted access. All fine. Endpoint was called ' hello_world_endpoint '. Next step: call the exposed Stored Procedure from the SSIS Web Service Task. At the 'General' tab of the Web Service Task Editor I define the HHTPConnection, configure the WSDL file. This works as well. Next step is the 'Input' tab. It is weird to see only three lines under the 'Input' on the right (BOL suggests that there are 6 lines). I have 'Service', 'Method' and 'WebMethodDocumentation' ...Show All

• Visual Studio VISIO 2003 and display of cyrillic letters (Russian)

  Hi all, I have to integrate some already translated technical descriptions into Visio (flow chart embeded in Word) with which I am having some problems.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mouse / Keyboard Events when using SimpleFramwork on a windows form

  Hi, Has anyone managed to get the latest version of the Sample Framework (Feb 2006 and Dec 2005) to work with full mouse and keyboard events. (I have added my code at the bottom of this post) I have been trying now for 2 weeks with no luck. I can see the mouse messages on the form and by adding hooks to the mouse on InitialiseGraphics() I can also capture the mouse message in the directx application but I am not sure how I can pass this onto the framework to process so that when I press the left mouse button and move the mouse the model will move on screen. This works perfectly if I use CreateWindow but not if I use SetWindow. I am ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form.Timer freezes

  I want to display a countdown timer in my application. I used Form.Timer, set the interval, enable it then start it. It worked fine except in some part of the application where for example it does something that consume time, my timer freezes. Anybody know how to solve this issue It sounds like your time consuming operation is hogging up the UI thread so your Timer Ticks won't happen until the time consuming operation is done. To fix this, you should put the time consuming operation on a background thread. BackgroundWorker can help with this. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentm ...Show All
