• Visual Studio Team System After cancelling installation of ATDT server, what do I delete to reinstall?

  I cancelled installation of ATDT server install and installation rolled back. Before I try to reinstall ATDT server install, I had to manually delete all 6 DBs in SQL 2005. I believe rolling back installation doesn't clean up registries or leave something uncleared, which might cause installation to fail. Is there any other step I need to do (delete something other than Yukon dbs) before I reinstall server Please anyone~ Don't know for sure, but in previous versions of the install you also had to delete the directory share that is created for the workitem attachments on the AT server. After uninstall I wou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Check if textbox is a Valid Integer from 0 to 10000.

  How can I check if a textbox contains a number that is a valid integer (just numbers) and that its a number from 0 to 10000 The way i did was in loops which would freeze the program for a few seconds. Any other ways first use int.tryparse to see if it's a number. Then check if that int is in the range you want. Or, use a masked text box to specify the input range you require ...Show All

So I open a command prompt and start my application c:\myapp\bin>myapp.exe But no output shows in my command window.

  Hi I am working on an application with two main parts. The first part is the database I am connecting to and the second is an activeX control. I am also using SQL 2005 Express as my database server. The way I have incorperated the database into the app is by using a auto-generated dataset and table-adapter and then doing the rest of the coding myself. My app has to do a few simple queries and occationally write some information to the database. The dilema comes from the activeX control. The AX connects to a servlet. This servlet must also connect to the same database as my application, but when the servlet attempts a connection it bounces b ...Show All
