• SQL Server My Declarations are just not working ...

  Hello all, I am frustrated! I have tried to get this script to run 8 ways from Sunday and I am not having any luck. Below are the two iterations I have attempted. In both cases the error: Must declare the scalar variable "@BAK_PATH" appears. The key to this is that I need to run the backup on the DB directly because the Database must be backed up by name for the next step to work. DECLARE @PAR1 VARCHAR ( 256 ), @BAK_PATH VARC ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need to call external DLL that takes structured parameter

  Hi, My application needs to call an external unmanaged DLL supplied by a third party. That DLL is written in C I suspect, it takes a struct parameter that holds some 30 fields, most of them of type char[x] where x varies for each field. What I did was a wrapper class, that has a declare statement like this Private Declare Ansi Sub ExternalSub Lib "ExternalDll.dll" (ByRef struct As strParam) The struct is defined like this & ...Show All

• SQL Server Heeeeellllllllppppppppp!!!! Replication Latency in Dist Agents

  Hi, I have Transactional Replication running and Pushed to 2 subscribers.  I am noticing that, sporadically, the latency shown on the Distribution Agnets is extreme.  This means it's taking a very long time for transactions to get to the subscribers... which in turn means that my 'High Availability' scenario is down the tubes.... which is a disaster. Usually I see latency numbers under 5000... and they are reset periodically.  T ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Is it wise to use CF2 on PPC 2003 SE

  Hi, I've been using .NET 2.0 for a good 6 months now and I have been asked to develop some software (C#) to run on PPC 2003 SE. What I was wondering is should I use CF2 or CF1 I know the device doesn't have CF2 in ROM so would it be more practicle to stick to using CF1 on these 'older' types of operating systems Regards Graham We developed a prototype in CF 2.0 with Sql Server Mobile on a device with 32MB of RA ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Delaying a program

  I am wondering if there is a built in function for delaying a program in C# Something akin to C++'s "System("SLEEP")". I tried typing "System.Sleep();" in my program code, but that didn't seem to compile. If there isn't such a function in C#, how would I go about writing one Seeing as I'm a complete newbie when it comes to C#, I wouldn't know this. :( You can use the following Fu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I view Console.Writeline?

    I'm rather new to programming. I've read two VB Express books and everything that I could find concerning Console.Writeline, and yet I still cannot figure out how to view what I write to it. When I use Debug.Writeline, I can view what I write to it in the "Immediate" window. I guessed that I should be able to view Console.Writeline in the "Output" window.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server Setup

  I need to install Team Foundation Server (Beta version), along with SQL Server 2000 (Default Instance). I found one issue. My application needs a "Default Instance" of SQL Server 2000.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using XPS on non-Vista platforms

  Hi I was reading the MSDN article about XPS, and I'm quite intrigued. I'd like to have a go at using XPS for a document creation system on our internal Intranet. I suppose there are 2 main questions.. 1) I've got VS2005 - can I write XPS documents now Or do I need some other SDKs (eg WPF). Would I be able to view/print them ! 2) When does v1.0 come out, or a go-live license ! Cheers   Dan ...Show All
