• SQL Server Can I write SQL 2000 databases with SQL Server 2005?

  My shared hosting service only supports SQL 2000. Thank you. http://www.google.co.uk/search hl=en&q=sql+server+2000+developer+edition&meta = This may be what you're looking for. SQL Server developer edition sounds as though it will cater for your needs (at home, when developing, this is a non-production environment) So, you could use all the features of SQL, then transfer it up to your hosted server for the production environment. From: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/developer/default.mspx Developer Edition allows developers to build and test any type of application on top of SQL Server on 32-bit and x64 platforms. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista retrieving custom activity properties set at runtime

  I have a custom activity with a property defined (it's a DateTime type) and I am assigning this property a value in the activity's override of the Execute method. I am pretty sure that this is happening as designed (no exceptions) but I can't seem to figure out a way to see what the value of the property has been set to. I know how to navigate through the workflow structure using WorkflowInstance.GetWorkflowDefinition() but when I find the activity I am interested in and check it's property it is always unassigned... which makes me think that I am navigationg through the DEFINITION and not the INSTANCE (or something like that).

• .NET Development Using TransactionScope to share transactions between Methods

  Hi, Before we start: This is all taking place on a single database. And I really don't want the overhead of Distributed Transactions. If I want to have lots of separate data access routines that do work on the database. Sometimes I want these routines to take part in a larger transaction. Sometimes they will just be running in their own transaction. I looked at TransactionScope and I thought this would do the trick. I now realise I would need to pass an open connection object in to each routine. TransactionScope takes care of sharing my transaction but it doesn't help me with sharing connections. Becuase... If I have 2 connection ...Show All

• Visual C# non-nullable reference types

  Hi A simple question: are non-nullable reference types supported in the final version of Visual Studio 2005 Say yes please ! I'm so tired of these == null tests! (Chris == null) At least not in the 2005 release, but it seems like Microsoft is at least considering this.

• SQL Server ODBC - FMTONLY

  Hi There I need to know if the "perform translation for character data" odbc connection option is responsible for SET FMTONLY statements, i think it is but i cannot find 100% confirmation from knowledge base articles or various searches. Secondly if this option is unchecked will it stop FMTONLY statements completely. Thirdly if it is enabled, what is responsible for FMTONLY statements not having a where clause the odbc driver or the application using the odbc connection, i am sure it is the application but once again , i need confirmation.

• SQL Server Cancel Error Event

  I have 2 containers within a package (one sequence container in another). I have an OnError Event handle for each container and a package. When an error is raised, the OnError event gets called for each container and the package.

• SQL Server Managing Database Mail using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Mail managed classes

  I'm trying (or, more precisely, failing) to configure Database Mail from managed code using the classes in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Mail namespace. I can easily retrieve the SqlMail object and create a new MailAccount instance but I can't figure out how to set the name of the mail server. Once the MailAccount is created, the MailAccount.MailServers property returns a single MailServer instance and this is always configured as the local server. In my case the SMTP server used to send email is not on the local server but is located elsewhere in the network. I figure I need to change the name of the MailServer instance, but whenev ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and WSE2

  First, sorry for my english .... Then, here is my question : can a WCF client consume a WSE 2 service (developed with .NET 1.1) through soap.tcp The address looks like soap.tcp//myaddress/service/ and svcutil says "Scheme soap.tcp is not supported for metadata endpoints." Second point : does this hands-on lab exist for the february CTP with good explanations (in particular for Interceptor section) : the code supplied does not run with the latest CTP. Cordially, Zim. Zim, Thanks for your post. You need to use WSE 3.0 to get wire interoperability with WCF. Even then, on TCP they have a differe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom code for New Project Templates

  I'm trying to get a handle on how much the design of the New Project Templates has changed from 2003 to 2005.  One quick question at the start of this process: In VS 2003, you wrote custom code (to be run when a new project was generated) in Javascript.  Is it correct that in VS 2005, that new code has to be written in a .NET language and must implement the IWizard interface Thanks, Chuck So, Craig, if I want to stick to the VS 2003 way of creating new templates, can I just put my Javascript file into the .zip along with the other project files Chuck ...Show All
