• SQL Server operationg system requirement

  I am in the process of learning SQL from scratch and figure it would be helpful if I can run a local server and experiment with it as I move along some book reading. I have a few questions regarding the operating system requirement for running a localhost server and hope some of you can answer to my novice questions. Can I setup a server under Windows XP when I looked thru the documentation it indicated only windows 2000 and other Microsoft server OS will support a SQL server setup. Why then it also indicate XP as compatible Is it because it's compatible as a client If I do have to run a server under a different operationg system, what is th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Installing VB.Net without product ID

  I lost my CD box that has product ID on the back. I want to install vb.net 2003 on my new laptop. I have vb.net installed on my desktop. Is there any way I can install vb.net from my desktop or using the original CD without using product ID While I don’t know how to install VB2003 without a product key, this may be an opportune time for you to make a free upgrade to Visual Basic 8 with Visual Basic Express which is a version of Visual Studio 2005 that lacks a few of the advanced features of the paid versions and is simply a language specific version of the more expensive ones and still gives you exa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Extending DataGrid

• Windows Forms Clickonce not updating all clients

  I have a fairly simple application that is being used by about 50 users which I deployed using ClickOnce. The internal users clicked on the "publish" page to install the application and are now starting it by clicking on the icon under Start, All Programs. I have been regularly publishing updates to this application using VS 2005. I wanted to "force" every update on the users (make them mandatory), so I have been incremeting both the Publish Version and the Minimum Required Version. This seems to work well for 95% of my users - every time the application is run, it checks for a new update, downloads if necessary, and r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Coded Webtest - capturing failure, taking action

  I have a coded Webtest that basically traverses my entire Content Management hierarchy, just looking for simple things like not going to error pages [thanks for the ValidateResponseUrl JoshC] and making sure all images load. When I view the results in the testing window when I run the test, I can see (1) if it failed my few validation rules, and (2) if any images are broken within the page. I think I'm missing something simple, because all I'd like to do, is when the current iteration of the WebTestRequest runs, I want to be able to see if it failed or not. If it fails, I want to do some action such as logging which images broke, just ...Show All

  Hi Is there any function is available in Managed C++ to get the left side value of Integer value for example, that function should return the interger value like this... leftvalue(19,1) = 1 leftvalue(25,1) = 2 Assume leftvalue() is proposed function.
