SQL Server (Default) instance already exists (not really!)
Ok, I haven't had this much trouble installing MS software in many moons. My end goal is to install Team Foundation Server, but to do that I need SQL Server 2005 first, then SharePoint, then TFS. At each of these steps it is appearing to be a mine field, and it is apparent that the MS Installer is doing a terrible job at uninstalling everything. End of whine. So my situation is this, I had installed MS SQL Server Developer 2005 and found out that the Reporting Server wasn't working. Basically, because at one time or another I had FP extentions installed, and permissions were hopelessly ...Show All

Windows Forms Docking one form to another
New to VB.Net programming. I want to open Form2 from a button on Form1. Got this far. Form2 has no border, I want it to appear to be part of Form1, (like a frame in a web page, everything else on the page stays the same except for this Form2 overlay). I need to position Form2 before showing (I think I can do that part) but&nbs ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office How can I standardize SIGNATURES in OUTLOOK for all the employees?
Hey guys, The Marketing director for the company I work for has asked that I research a way to standardize all the e-mail addresses in the company. Can anyone think of a way that this can be accomplished I know that Outlook stores all the signature files in the folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures\. But, is there an alternative way of doing this Perhaps through Exchange Administration or something Thanks! Todd You can use the CIW (custom installation wizard) or other administrative means to do this. At the end of the day, a signature is simply a file on disk (rtf, ...Show All

Hi All, I am currently using Access Developer Extentions to deploy my access ade file. What I need to do is the following: 1. I don't want my clients to see or choose to interfere with the installation. I can control this by editing the setup.ini file that access developer extentions create, by changing the value "Display=full" to "Display=basic". but I don't know where to edit the developer extentions tool so that it changes that automatcally when I package(generate the msi) my application. 2.

Visual Studio Express Editions SP2?
Is there any way I can install Visual Basic Express 2005 on my XP SP1 computer or do I have to upgrade to SP2 Could I just use an earlier version of Visual Basic Express. there is nothing wrong with the way the SP2 PC was setup - for a start thats the only manufacturered PC in my household. and i've checked everything I possibly could. what if people don't want every update included in SP2 they should have the choice. they bought the right to use the software in the first place. I've had experience of configuring XP SP2 PCs and don't want to have this experience often. as an observer, user and memb ...Show All
SQL Server Attach Database problem

After installing Express when my .NET app first starts it atempts to attach the database using EXEC sp_attach_db etc...

.NET Development Adding URL-encoded '&'s as data in a URI parameter
I'm developing a client application that needs to send the '&' character in HTTP requests as data. I DO NOT want these to be interpretted as the start of a new parameter but rather would like them passed to the application as parameter data. I realize that you need to URL encode characters with special meaning. My problem is that in .NET, when you attempt to create a URI with a %26 (the URL-encoded version of '&'), it automatically converts it back to the '&' character. So for the following URL: http://www.targetsite.com/application parameter1=whatever¶meter2=<script>l ert(&am ...Show All

I want code that take the region and return the time in that region. please, help When your users pick the region (from a dropdown, or however you want to implement that) why not just take "offset from GMT of selected region" and "offset of current system setting from GMT" and figure out how much you need to change the value you get from the current system time, and then display that Example: User's computer is set for US Central time (GMT +6) and they want to know what time it is in California (GMT +8) so you can deduce that you need to show system time + 2 hours.

.NET Development Networkstream & TCPClient - write does not throw IOException when server goes down.
Hello all, I encountered a strange problem. I use a TCPClient to send messages to a TCP Server (by Network stream's Write function) when the server is connected it all goes well, but when the server closes the connection I get IOException only on my second write! - the first write method is called as nothing had happened. I tried to give my TCPClient true on NoDelay and also fixed the SendBufferSize of the TCPClient to be exactly as my message size (163 bytes). nothing helped. please advise! thanks ahead Mike Flasko wrote: Tom, Can you post a small repro snippet I am curious ...Show All
