• SQL Server Stuck between "Failed to generate user instance" and "An attempt to attach...failed"

  I wrote an application using Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 which uses a SQL Express .mdf file, included in the project, for the database.  After installing Visual Studio 2005 RC and the SQL Express that comes with it (I followed all of the uninstall instructions first) I can no longer add a SQL Express database to any of my projects, nor can I open the SQL Express database in my original project.  When I try either of these tasks, I get the "Failed to generate user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance.  The connection will be closed."  I read the thread which dealt with this er ...Show All

• SQL Server How to dynamically change width?

  Folks, We have some reports that have optional columns. We have them working very nicely, with the column showing or hiding based on values in the report -- works great. Except -- when the columns are present, the report spans onto two pages, when exported to PDF, in width. That's understandable, as there's a lot of extra data, and exactly what we want. However, when the columns are not present, we get empty pages instead, because the report doesn't automatically contract back onto the size that fits on one page. Changing the report to a Matrix won't work, as the hidden columns on some of these come as sets of three, ...Show All

• Visual Basic change published project dir

  hi, after finishing my project i would like to publish it so i can burn it to a cd and if a computer doesnt have .net framework 2.0 it will install it before running my project. I know how to do this and can publish it with all the right files through the publish wizard. The problem is when i publish it, the running directory is a temporary one which i found out with the help of a couple of people and the application.startuppath command, and the shell commands in my project dont link properly because you have to put the .exes in the running directory. If i copy the \bin\release files to a cd including all .exe files (for shell commands) it w ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to make custom tool window visible after user has closed it?

  I am looking at the sample apps provided for adding custom tool window. The problem is when I close the custom tool window, there is no way to make it visible again. The other tool windows are in the View menu pre-populated by Microsoft. Is there a way to automatically add new control windows to View->OtherWindows menu item in VS2005 IDE Thanks Pawan All the command bars not bound to the top of a tool window (for example, the command bar on the top of the solution explorer) are programmable.

• Visual Studio Team System Adding Web Parts to WSS Project Portal

  1. If I try to add a new web part to the Home page (by clicking Modify Shared Page), I get an error ("an unexpected error has occurred) Is the Home page non-editable .. 2. Seems that the Remaining Work report in the Home page was created using a Page Viewer web part. Clicking on other reports navigates to the Report Viewer Url directly.

• Visual C++ Dreaded C1902 error... but only through ssh?

  I'm running in to the dreaded C1902 ("Program database mismatch: please check your installation") error, with a twist... it only happens if I try to compile when logged on via ssh. I checked my environment ('env | sort' and 'diff' the output from both ssh'd and local), and then tried sourcing the 'good' environment in my ssh session, so it isn't that. What would cause this error to only show up on a remote login If it matters, I'm using password-less login and trying to build on an NFS share, but the compiler is local. 'type -P' on mspdb80.dll, mspdbcore.dll, mspdbsrv.exe returns: /usr/vc8/common7/ide/mspdb80.dll /usr/vc8/common7/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic GDI+ Questions

      I have this beloved old VB6 program that has been converted to a sleek new vb2005 program. It's name is "Color" Color is a utility. It will sample pixels color anywhere on the desktop. It also gives me the x-y coordinates for a given location. It gives me the RGB color value in hex and decimal. I find that I used Color to measure dimensions a lot. and that I'm always having to(x1-x1) and (y1-y2) and awful lot. It's natural that I'd like to use Color to measure anywhere on the desktop or more accurrately what I'm seeing in the moment. So tonight I've been playing with GDI+.

• Visual C# How to use SNMP in C#

  Hi people, I would like to create C# clients that will use SNMP to communicate to a C# manager and I would like to know what namespaces to call, what classes, etc. I have not been able to find C# examples on this (only WMI examples), so if anybody can give me some or give me guidance, I will really appreciate it. Also, as a general question, what will you people suggest, have the clients listenning/talking through a port and have a similar behaviour on the manager or use SNMP Thank you!
