• SQL Server Open empty environment

  What happened to the Query Designer   It's a modal window that doesn't allow you to drag tables from other databases into the query.  SQL 2000's verion of Query Designer was so much better than 2005.  What happened   Are the developers at Microsoft completely retarded   Also, why do I have to log into my database servers everytime I open "Server Management Studio"   Who thought up that nice feature   Probably the same brillant folks that redesigned Query Designer.  Why would you want to have a forced login procedure for every database everytime the program is opened.  Once again Micro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Runtime Engine Durability

  I understand that the Runtime engine does a lot of internal communication with queues. For example, the Instance Manager within the runtime engine will queue a workflow, which is thrown on a queue. The Scheduler within the workflow runtime then takes the workflow off the queue and fires the exectue method on the workflow, which then adds the first activity on the queue, etc., etc.. I also understand that workflow state can be persisted to maintain state durability over reboots, and also the sql timer service can be used to maintain delay events as well. My question is, how durable is the runtime itself For example, how much of the data o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Item "Assigned To" field contains all domain users

  Why does the work item "assigned to" field contain all the users on the domain Is there a way to change this You can actually limit the number of entries appearing in the Assigned To field's list of allowed values by editing the corresponding work item type definition. If you export the work item type definition you're working with using witexport.exe and look at the rules, defined for the System.AssignedTo field, I bet you'll find VALIDUSER rule somewhere. This rule generates the list of allowed values that includes all valid users known to your TF server. To limit the number of items in that list you should either specify a grou ...Show All

• Visual Basic Running "Show Data Sources" or "Add New Data Source" Generate Error of True Type Font

It takes some time to go over some Xml documents and I want to show some progress indication to the user (WinForm).

You can use the ProgressBar class but it requires that you have a relatively big base selection.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is the VS 2005 Webbrowser really ready for prime time?

  I am trying to use the Webbrowser control that is available in VS 2005 C# Express (.NET 2.0) to automate navigation through a set of web pages programmatically. I've run into two situations where I cannnot access the OuterHtml property of an HtmlElement. Looking at the debugger seems to say that some kind of underlying exception occurs. 1.

• Visual J# Enum Problem

  How do I convert this from java to j# private enum Status {CONTINUE, WON, LOST}; Thanks for the help. Hi, In VS2003, J# didn't support writing enums though it supported consuming them :(. AS an workaround, 1. You can expose a set of named constants as public, static, fields and then consume them but in this case you may have to change your java code here and there. For Example... class Status { public static final int CONTINUE = 1; public static final int WON = 2; public static final int LOST = 3; } 2. you can declare the enum in a C# class library proj ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions getting the rank of an item in an array of numbers

  hello, does vb provide any function to find out the rank of value of an item (say, a number) in an array of numbers if it doesn't, is there anyway we can make the process less troublesome thanks. Actually it doesn't have a way to do that. When I stop and think about it from a computation pov, a percentile score is about it's relationship to all other scores. Rank is not something that computer people do routinely in support of computing, it's something a user woul want and there aren't any ready made routines from it. But I'm unsure what's troubling about it. Given an array of numbers, a cer ...Show All
