• SQL Server Sql Express Installation problem setting sql account to ="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

  Hello, I am having trouble installing sql express from a command line on an XP o/s other than English, I know French and German have the problem I suspect this is caused by setting the sql account to ="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" my guess is that this is a localized string. I get the following error SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account. This is my command line ...Show All

• Windows Forms button appearance

  Suppose I have a row of four buttons all right next to each other, and the user can perform a specific function based on which button they have clicked. My question is, is there any way to make the button they have pressed appear pressed, like it is pushed down, until the user presses a different button. Like when you click on a button it has the appearance of being pushed down, but it pops back up when you let go of the mouse button, I want it to stay looking pushed down. Does anyone know how to accomplish this smtraber ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Working with IComparable

  The response I received to a recent post got me investigating collections, they're pretty cool.

• SQL Server SSEM - How do you connect to an MDF file?

  I have SQL Server Express 2005 (April CTP) along with SQL Server 2005 Express Manager (SSEM).  I am trying to create an ASP.NET web site using VS 2005 and in the process I want to create and use a smallish SSE database using an MDF file.  I thought I could connect to the MDF with SSEM to populate the DB with some data but I can't figure out how to connect.  Does SSEM support this   Is there a better way to do this - perhaps from within VS 2005 Keith Hill wrote: Nevermind. I had not opened up the permissions on the parent dirs. It connects now. Thanks. Hi, How do you set the per ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow Semantics Troubles.

  I am working on a project for school and have been having some issues with DirectShow and was wondering if anyone can offer some help. I added my filters to my filter graph and connected my pins and verified the HR results succeed but it’s just not working. I am trying to put a filter together to use ATI X1800 AIW to show some input from the composite connection of the card. I verified that I have all the filters I needed through GraphEdit. First, when you find the filter you need by enumerating by class, you get the filter and hold on to it correct What I mean is that you don’t release it (before program termination.) Do ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro FoxPro character fields in .Net showing as blank strings.

  Not sure if this should be in the FoxPro forum, or the C# forum. I have a dBase database, with a table (table1). table1 contains a field (myField) which is a fixed length, 4-character field. With each record this field contains 4 ASCII characters (which were created by converting decimal values into ASCII). Now ... I think that the first 2 or 3 characters are ASCII value 0 (null). Also, some of them contain Extended ASCII codes. My problem the object variable, thisField in my code returns contains an empty text string. I have tried casting it to different types, and have interrogated the field output in every way. Visual Stu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. oh, where to start...

  I've been doing some small time game programming with a few open source rendering engines with c++. It's been a great learning experience but i want to see what I can do with DirectX. What would be a good starting point Are there tutorials out there for common functions, such as fps camera, collision detection, dynamic lighting, seamless worlds, etc. Or code samples and snippets that happen to be lying about I've looked through the SDk, and there is certainly some good info there, but I guess I'm looking for a little more(unless some of those things were there and i missed it) Currently, I'm entirely happy with the eninge that I' ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Same results

  Before running the latest version of the Express Cleanup Tool my VB Express Beta 2 install would fail with a message saying I had to uninstall previous versions of VB Express and MSDN.  It gave this same message after de-installing everything and running previous version of the Cleanup Tool. Now, after running the latest Cleanup Tool the VB Express Express Beta 2 still fails, but it lists only a previous version of VB Express as needing to be deinstalled.  Apparently the new cleanup tool got the missing MSDN components. This is a 50% improvement!  Maybe, if the Cleanup tool keeps improving, I will be able to install VB Expre ...Show All
