• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't install VB Express from a CD

  Because I have a dial-up connection, a friend burned me the setup.exe file for Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.  However, when I double-click to install from the disk (whilst connected to internet) the process of downloading 60 MB starts up  (v-e-r-y slow on my connection - took 15 minutes yesterday to get just 6 MB! Has my friend made a mistake when burning setup.exe file to CD   I thought doing it this way would save my phone costs, but I might as well have downloaded from the VB Express site for myself. Using Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird, downloads start up again when cut off (which I had to do due to lack of time).  ...Show All

• Windows Forms User Control - GotFocus - LostFocus

  Hello, I work with a third party control that provides the ability to load within it Winforms controls and providing a multi document interface such as the one in the VS.Net IDE. I find that adding a handler to the user control's got and lost focus works when the user control does not have any other controls hosted on it. On adding one or more controls on the user control, the user control's Got Focus stops firing. I cant seem to figure out either the cause of the problem or even a work around that will enable Got and Lost focus to fire correctly. Any help will be great. Regards, Avinash       ...Show All

• .NET Development client-side/server side cursor

  I'm using VS.NET 2005 (July CTP) to develop a windows application that connects to a SQL Server database.  How can I set my connection to use server-side cursors instead of client-side   I'm going to have some large result sets and I'm afraid some client machines will not have adequate disk space.  .Net Data Provider for Sql Server (SqlClient) version 2.0 does not support server-side cursor.

• SQL Server Updates to Live Web Server

  I'm developing a web app using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005 Express. So far it's all been on my local computer, it hasn't gone live yet, so if I need to add a column to a table or make some other schema change I just do it right in Visual Studio, nice and simple. If I have to delete all the old content and start over, no problem. When I deploy it to a staging server I just overwrite the existing file with my new one, losing its data in the process. But soon enough I'll be deploying this to a public web server, there will be real live data in the db, people using it when I need to make updates. What are some common strategies for updating t ...Show All
