• SQL Server Wired to Wireless Connection Issues

  When using both SQL Server Management Studio and my own application to connect to my SQL Server, I can connect and retreive data without issue when on a wired connection. As soon as I unplug the wire and switch to the wireless connection I have problems. I can connect to the SQL Server without issue (in MGMT Studio and through my code). I can even return small tables, however when the table is larger (about 175 rows) I get the following error: ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Next WCF CTP?

  My project is currently using the January CTP bits, and we refrained from moving to the February drop because we want to avoid the overhead of switching to every new build that comes out. March and April, however, proved to be CTP-less months, and the more work we do with the January code, the more we feel we might have to rewrite bits. We already have things we know will require reworking for February, but the more time passes, the more we'r ...Show All

  Is there a way to turn off PDF export for the ReportViewer control, while keeping the option to export to Excel Please let me know. Thanks. Unfortunately there is not.

• Visual C++ complaint no. 3 SETUP IS AWFUL

  the setup proceedures you folks have worked out for these Express editions is absolutely awful. i appreciate the free software, (smart move to release these tools, for obvious reasons).  but i don't think its appropriate to provide such lame installation support even if you are being generous.  ms should set an example ... ease of use, transparency of installation especially, is issue 1 in good software development. there are too ...Show All

• Visual Basic Form Switching

  Hello all, I know this is a real n00b question, but I was wondering if someone could advise me as to a better way of doing my form switching without creating a new instance of a form each time. I know usually you can just go Dim F as new Form2 F.Show But that creates a new instance of Form2. What I'm trying to do is to have a permanently open version of Form2 that I can access at any time. The reason I want to do this is so that I can k ...Show All

• .NET Development EventLog.WriteEntry - static or not?

  I am using the simplest way to write to the event log: if(!EventLog.SourceExists(...)) {EventLog.CreateEventSource(...);} EventLog.WriteEntry(...); From the syntax, WriteEntry should be static, but in the documentation it is not. I am interested to find out why because this code will be called from different threads and only the static members of EventLog are thread-safe. Eventlog.WriteEntry has both static and non static members, chec ...Show All
