• Visual Studio Express Editions What is the maximum number of connections for SQL Server 2005 Express?

  If this database is used on a server, then how many people can connect to it from the Internet Thanks. My installation went fine and I have created two databases with all the tables, keys and stored procedures. I sure wish there was an Agent to at least let us run a couple of jobs such as backups automatically.   From memory the only limit that is on the express edition is the limit to the hardwar ...Show All

• Visual C# Help on Lagging File Seek

  I am running a windows 2000 server, and run a C# program that writes to an excel file. The folder that contains all my finalized excel documents exceeds 5gigs, and when not seeked within the last 5 minutes, lags for up to a minute. So when someone tries to download a recent report, if no one has run a report within the last 5 minutes (guessing lost from cache,) they must wait 1 minute for windows to open that folder. Any ideas on a method possib ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to get caption of active window?

  How do I get the text of the currently active window There is an Windows API Function called GetForegroundWindow() , which gets the handle to that window, and a quick search of google (Google is your friend!) turned up: http://www.codeguru.com/vb/controls/vb_shell/article.php/c3053 However it's in VB6 code. Running it through the code converter didn't help, and the sample isn't very easy to understand, anyway, so here it is, sligh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Build an ASP.NET App on the Command Line

  I want to use Visual Build (a 3rd party product) to automate the building of a project that contains many steps.  One of the steps is to build an ASP.NET 2.0 application that was created with Visual Studio 2005 (RTM).  The ASP.NET solution builds from within VS2005 just fine.  When I try to build this same solution from within the Visual Build environment, it fails with the following errors: FIRST FAILURE C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop within the Software Dev. Team Edition

  I have the integrated version in Team Edition, however I can't see where the classic configurations can be done (e.g. all I can see is <RunCodeAnalysis> and <CodeAnalysisRules>, with the latter being simply a subtraction list from the rule list). In particular where can I configure settings that will be passed to each rule handler, e.g. /FxCopProject/Rules/Settings/Rule TypeName="MyType" {my settings} Is this not an o ...Show All

• .NET Development Paging Through Large Data

  I'm writing an ASP.NET application that uses a SQL Server 2000 database. The application searches in large tables with 500, 000+ Records and then displays the search results, the search results could be easily 20,000 or 30,000 results. Ofcourse i need to use paging to show like 10 or 20 results per page. I can't use the DataSet ofcourse, that would be too stupid from me to get 30,000 records to display only 20 records. On the other hand the D ...Show All
