• Visual C# How place value in column of dataset

  How do I (what is the syntax) for placing a value in a column of a dataset. That is, I come at this from VB.net.

What is the equivalent syntax in C# for placing a value in a known column of a dataset ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLEXPRESS database ownership, sa, and authentication troubles

  I installed VS2005 on my laptop at the office and of course, got the default instance of SQLEXPRESS. When I take my laptop home and log in (I use my NETWORK\login login everywhere), I can't authenticate to use the database -- it doesn't like my login unless I'm physically at my office. So, thinking I'm clever, I changed my SQLEXPRESS instance to use 'SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode' and tried to use the 'sa' login in my connection ...Show All

• .NET Development WSE Asynchronous Server Methods

  I can't seem to find anything out on the google web about how to do asynchronous server processing use WSE. For example, lets say I get a request to do something that is potentially long running. I would want to have an asynchronous method with a callback that returns the response without blocking the processing thread. ASP.NET has Asynchronous WebMethod's here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how to load automacticaly tabs

  Hi again, I have form that reads data from a db and insert/update in that db. I have a tabcontrol with 4 tab pages. The thing is when I try to update a data from my form it does not update all the related files. If I don't open any of that 4 pages, data in that pages cannot be updated.

• Visual Studio Team System Baseless merge ?

  I've been told a couple of times to workaround problems with branching via a Baseless Merge.  Now I'm pretty sure I can guess what this does based on the name, but I can't find any way to accomplish this through the VS2005 UI. I've read all the docs I can find and I've searched google and all I've come up with is the command line option to do "h.exe merge /baseless" from MSDN and the reference from Buck's blog. The description in the docs b ...Show All

• Visual C++ _strtime C3861 error

  Hi guys, sorry to ask such a newbie question but when I try to build code which uses the _strtime() function I get a C3861 error. The time.h header is included and so I can't understand why the compiler would not recognise the function. What is even more confusing is that when I right on the offending function and select go to declaration it takes me straight there, so I'm thinking 'well. the IDE knows where the header is so what's the problem ' ...Show All
