• .NET Development ADO/SQLExpress Connection String Question

  I'm working on a customer project and deployment project. SQLExpress is part of the installation and there is a pre-existing database. As installed, the database is detached. This application uses ADO.NET to establish SQL connections and it also uses Excel VBA to connect to the database via ADO. The following SQL Connection string works for SQL (as far as I can tell) Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\XYZ_Data ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro FoxPro v9 vs Visual dBASE Plus 2.01 BDE 5.2.02

  Hi there. I just installed a Visual FoxPro 9.0 and started "playing" with it. Tried to create a table - it is straightforward and then a form. It seems to be a rich platform. Something puzzles me though. I do have extensive experience with Visual dBASE PLUS and previous versions in terms of OO language and form/table designer. Thus I am trying to compare. I am attempting to migrate to MS software/platforms wholesale since the dBASE is offering l ...Show All

• Visual C# How to set up a Web app in Visual Studio 2003?

  I just posted a question on namespace System.Web.UI and am beginning to think that perhaps my trouble is related to the fact that I am using the namespace out of a Windows Application. I really need to set up a Web application but the browser does not allow me to do it. It is bizarre. When I click on File-->new-->Project-->ASP.NET Web Application I have to choose a location from a combobox. There are a few options there. None of them wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Restoring a SQL Server database during a build process

  Hi, During our build process, we want to run unit tests on a clean database. Therefore we want to restore a database during each build. I prepared a little script with the necessary Transact SQL and I execute it in the BeforeTest target with an Exec task. When I look into the log file after the build process, I see that the process tried to execute the RESTORE but that it fails with a "User does not have permission to RESTORE datab ...Show All

• .NET Development NegotiateStream Class and SOAP Web Services?

  Hi, I just heard about the NegotiateStream Class and I’m wondering if I can use it to protect traffic on the wire between my client (.net winforms app) and server (.net web service) Right now I’m using SSL, leveraging the built in support that IIS offers, but since my app only runs on the intranet I’m wondering if NegotiateStream would make more sense. SSL works fine when you get it set up, but there is quite a bit of overhead when my ...Show All
