• Software Development for Windows Vista Database monitor activity???

  Hi, I was wondering if workflow has something similar to event monitoing. Something like Filewatcher and MSMQ event subscription but on database. what i want to do is, if there is a change in a table's data, i want to kickoff a new workflow instance, but I don't know if I should use timers to poll the database. thanks, Hiten The responsibility for that would reside with the host application, and there is no built in Workflow functionality for that. In your instance, you could have a trigger on the table in question, and this could signal the host application to start the appropriate workflow. Th ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 & personal site wizard

  Hi, I used the personal web site starter kit as a basis for a new site. When I touch the "Register, login" links, something goes off and creates a sql2005 database in the system_data folder - which is helpful I guess, (but was it created by the IDE, was it the framework ) however my web host does not support sql2005 so I want to use my existing sql2000 database. I edited my web.config to provide the sql2000 connection string in the membership section, deleted the database files and tried again, it appeared to ignore the information in web.config, and created the sql2005 mdf again. I figured I'd try and install the membership cat ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Service Broker Admin Tool for SQL Server 2005 RTM

  Back in July I released the (then) latest version of SsbAdmin. For you who don'r know what it is; it's a tool which allows you to graphically administer SQL Server Service Broker. I have now uploaded a new version which is compiled against the released versions of SQL Server 2005 and .NET 2.0. You can download it from here : [0]. After download, un-zip to some directory and read the README.doc file.

• Visual C++ unable to add any item to the toolbox

  The environment: VS2005 (final version). Win2K. I just started working with this new VS2005 in bits and pieces.

You can use the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box to select or remove components, and to add items to the Toolbox or remove items from it. To open this dialog box, select Choose Toolbox Items from the Tools menu, or right-click on the Toolbox and select Choose Items from its shortcut menu And I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Database search

  Hi there, I am new to VB Express. I have a project that requires finding 2 fields in a mdb database. The search key is a variant rather than a text box. In the project I modify input from a text box. The resulted variant is the search key for retrieving 2 fields in the variant record. The database is structured as follows: Location Identifier Field1 Field2 Alocation ABC 123 456 Blocation DEF 789 987 Clocation GHI 654 321 The search key is the identifier variant which is processed from a text field. I watched the tutorial but they automatically associate database fr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal adds .00 to SQL Server integers

  Hi all. I am new to CR and using CR for Visual Studio 2005. I have a report getting data from SQL Server. I am trying to concatinate 3 integer fields into a date using an unbound string field. Each date field has one part of the date, i.e. month, day and year(from an old Databus file). Crystal is adding .00 to the numbers when they print in the concatinated field so a month field containing 12 displays as 12.00. An entire date would look like 12.00/25.00/99.00. If I simply add the field to the report by drag and drop, it displays as 12. Any idea how I can get rid of the .00 You may be asking why I didn't convert the 3 date fields int ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Data sources and destinations

  Can someone point me to a comparison between the OLE DB data source and the Data Reader Data Source   We are starting to investigate SSIS and have stumbled through some pain points by choosing one or the other. Additionally, I found that one can not use the SQL Server Destination unless the package is actually running on the Server hosting the SQL Instance.  This seems like we are moving backwards in time.  We have been able to run DTS packages on a client machine that doesn't host either source or target data sources. The SQL Server Destination seems like the most intuitive destination to use if my target is a SQL Se ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vertex Tangent in left handed

  I'm working in left handed corrdinates and calculating the tangent to do normal mapping transforming lights to tangent space The result is working wrong as it seems that one axis is flipped (the left side of a mesh is being iluminated as should be the right side). So I am guessing that I have a mix with the coordinate system in calculating the tangent for the vertex or in the tangent trasnformation matrix. 1) Calculate tangent in left handed coordinates VECTOR3 GetTangentSpaceVector( const VECTOR3& position1, const VECTOR3& position2, const VECTOR3& position3, const VECTOR2& uv1, const VECTOR2& uv2, const VECTO ...Show All
