• Visual Studio SourceSafe Internet Plugin and IIS on W2K Server

  I have setup a VSS database on a file server and installed VSS 2005 on our web server. I followed the directions in the MSDN "How to: Set Up Database Access via Visual SourceSafe (Internet) Plug-In" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms230206.aspx) When I reached "To enable Internet Access for an Existing database on a different computer than the web service" step #7 things got weird. First the VSS Web Service is running on a Domain Controller so it did not appear in the "Computers" list (sub-step 2) rather it appeared inthe "Domain Controllers" list. So I opened it's properties (sub-step 3). Th ...Show All

• Visual C# IPAddress and IComparabe<T>

  Can anybody explain the reason why IPAddress does not implement IComparable interface I wanna use IPAddress in my binary search tree and using the GetBytes() method of the IPAddress for comparing seems to me very inefficient. Any alternatives Maksim, I can't tell for sure, but since there isn't a "natural" ordering of IP addresses, any implementation of IComparable would have been arbitrary. For instance, you might use network order, or host order with much different results. Instead of GetBytes you might want to use GetHashCode, which not surprisingly returns an int representing the IP Address (you will get it reversed, s ...Show All

• SQL Server Access Permissions on server scoped objects for login

  We are having problems with the response times from UPS WorldShip after switching from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. I think that the problem can be fixed from the database end by setting the permissions correctly for the user/role/schema that is being used by WorldShip to connect to the server but, I'm not sure how to do it. The Setup Client UPS WorldShip 8.0 running on XP Pro SP2 Connecting via Sql Native Client via SQL Server Login Connection is over a T1 via VPN Server - SQL Server Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003 2x3ghz Xeon processors w/ 4gb ram The user that is being used to connect runs under it's own schema and role ...Show All

• SQL Server Puzzled by concurrent update

  I have a puzzle in my mind here. I will thank anyone who can solve my puzzle. I am not familiar with SQL and its theories behind, so please bear with me if I am asking a stupid newbie question. My puzzle is generally a problem of generating sequence numbers. The following SQL is only a stripped down version - it fetches the max number, add 1 to it and updates the table with the new number. DECLARE @max int SELECT @max = MAX(next_number) + 1 from sequence_numbers UPDATE sequence_numbers SET next_number = @max WHERE next_number = @max Now if user1 gets 100 and user2 also gets 100 and they both try to update the tabl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Embedded UI Elements in RichTextBox Controls - Why Disabled?

  I am trying to embed user interface elements inside a RichTextBox control. In particular, I would like to embed a RichTextBox inside a RichTextBox. I can't seem to get the embedded control to be enabled for editing (or clicking in the case of a button). Setting IsEnabled = "True" in the XAML doesn't do the trick either. What should I be doing Is this even supported e.g the embedded button with the "Click Me!" caption in the XAML sample below is not click-able: <Window x:Class="WindowsApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://sch ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WBAs and web services

  I have read that WBA applications will not support integration with web services via WCF (Indigo), at least not for release 1. I've seen mention of using ASP.NET-based web services (ASMX) instead, but no references to examples of how to do this. Is anyone aware of a simple example that demonstrates how a WBA can talk to an ASMX-based SOAP web service I dont' have any samples however there is no difference between using ASMX in a WBA and using it in a Windows Forms application - open your project then add web reference etc. ...Show All
