• SQL Server About The Connect to Server Dialog

  In server name column, it apears all the server name that i uesed before, but some of them are not available now, how do I remove them There isn't a way to be very surgical about this, but you can use the "big hammer" approach and delete the mru.dat file in C:\Documents and Settings\{you}\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell.  This obliterates the most-recently-used list of servers.  The connection dialog will create a new mru.dat file the next time you connect to a server. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Storing PDF in Database...

  I am having trouble storing PDF files in a sql database. It works fine for pdf's that don't have much info on them, but for any pdf of any size, I am guessing it is just too big. I am storing it in an Image column. I have no problems storing them into the database, but when I retreive them and then try to open them, it gives me an error that the file is incomplete and can't be opened. This only happens on the bigger pdf's. Does anybody have experience saving pdf's into a database Does anybody know how I can compress a pdf that I convert into byte[] to store, so that it will not cut it off (which is what I am assuming is happening) Sql ...Show All

  I am programatically changing the value of a TextBox's Text property, and I need to be able to create newlines in the text for it to be readable.  I can use the /n escape character when I'm creating a command line tool, but when I try to use it in the value of TextBox's Text property, it won't work.  It just displays a little line.  Any help is appreciated! ok actually the other guy was right you need both exactly like he posted, you need "/r/n" at the end of the string, this makes it go to a new line in a text box something like this might be what people are looking ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the User Limitation on Express Advanced?

  What is the number of users that can access SQL Server Experss 2005 Advanced edition. Would like to know before I travel down the road of using it. TIA SQL Server 2005 Express has no built, hard coded user limit... that doesn’t mean that you won’t eventually run into one though. Aside from the obvious database and tool differences between Express and the bigger versions one key difference is its lack of a workload governor so the efficiency which limits performance if the database engine receives more work than is typical of a small number of users. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Executing Prolog code from within Visual Basic

  Hi People   I am quite new to Visual Basic so bear with me... Is there any way of calling a function written in a different programming language (i.e. prolog) and then assigning the resulting boolean value of that code text box on a visual basic form   Prince Hi, Prince, So, the answer is “yes,” depending on what you’re trying to do. If the function you’re calling is in a DLL file and is exposed as an external API, then you can use the DllImportAttribute or the Declare keyword to run it and get its return value.
