  Hi is there a function that I can use to encrypt a password that can be decrypted. the password is stored on the local machine and is used to access the server. So it should be reversible. thanks It doesn't really have to be revisable, what you could do is store the hash of the password in the database and in the client code construct the hash. For example the client would enter the password, you applicatio ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The long term goal of Cider vs.XAML

  Is the long term goal of Cider to replace direct XAML editing Or is XAML too rich to be fully expressed by Cider Steve Hi Steve, We don't pretend that we'll ever achieve designer coverage for the full fidelity and expressiveness of XAML, nor do we believe it's interesting to do so. We do, however, want to make sure that useful capabilities and constructs of WPF are exposed in the designer. One of Cide ...Show All

• SQL Server Troble copying data between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005

  When I right-clicked on a SQL 2000 database from the Management studio, and chose "export data", all my views where transferred as tables, which is wrong. I would like to get my tables copied over including triggers and indexes, etc. plus (optionally) my views copied also but at the definition level. How do I make this work The wizard you are using is currently only transferring data. To copy database objects, use the transfer objects tas ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is taking so long to open/create/render the reports for the first time?

  Hi,   Why is taking so long to open/create/render the reports for the first time Is there any configuration to change this I don’t think this behavior is related to Report Execution or cache! I think there is something else going on! Thanks. I can't believe nobody has the answer to this question! Let me rephrase my question. When I open a report for the first time, it takes up to a minute to show it on the browser!! Why If the ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there a way to use IEqualityComparer<> for Microsoft owned value-types with no IEquatable?

  Hi. I'm really liking Generics support in .NET/C# specifically, but I have some questions in mind. I'm trying to create a list of PointFs (List<PointF>) and it simplifies everything, but the documentation for List<>.Contains (and just about any List<> functions that require searches) talks about using IEquatable<T> of the type.  If I'm creating my own type, I can just implement IEquatable, but in this case this is a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is this possible with VSTO 2005?

  I am doing some research into what approach to take on our next project. Basically we need a way to generate a booklet with some 80 or so reports pooled from our DW. There has to be some standard wording (state required) and some fields that are dynamic (like Name or Organization, Year etc.). User should be able to add additional sections in table of content and to add custom footnotes to the reports. Some sections might have to protected so ...Show All

• Windows Forms Multiple signing and publishing bug

  Whenever I publish a project with a test certificate from Ascertia, I have to enter the password three times even if i select "Remember my password". I understand signing of the three manifest files, but I really want it to remember the password. Also, if i have 10 projects in a solution, all of which are to be deployed using ClickOnce, I cant publish one project at a time. Whenever I try to publish a single project, it publishes the other proje ...Show All

  Hi! I use SQL CE with VS.NET. I find the following bug 2th. The table has an " ID int IDENTITY(0,1) PRIMARY KEY,". That is my row identity. I add rows to the table, then I realized that the ID order not in the general order (from 0 to ........) For example: 6,7,8,0,1,2,3,4,5. O f course row 6,7 and 8 was added the very last. The content of each row is not mixed, only the ID order. Is it a very confused, be ...Show All

I put them back... but now are BOTH GRAYED AND DISABLED, so I can't change con ...Show All

• Visual Basic Overflow???

  This code is generating an overflow exception and I really don't think it should be: Dim u64HiBit As UInt64 u64HiBit += &H8000000000000000 or u64HiBit =   u64HiBit or  &H8000000000000000 In my understanding this is simply setting the hi-bit in an unsigned integer. It certainly shouldn't cause an overflow unless it's not really a 64-bit entity. There is a worse possibility which is that it truly isn't supported w ...Show All
