  Please could someone explain to me the differnece between the following: Implicit constraints Pre-defined constraints User-defined constraints As I understand it, Implicit Constraints seem to be those that come with an object when you drag it onto the designer.  There is a list of implicit constraints, somewhere e.g. SupportsASPNET, SupportsASPWebApplications, SupportsStaticContent, AuthenticationModeConstraint.  Where in the system do I find these objects Pre-defined constraints - these are pre-defined in what sense   User-defined - these are User-defined in what sense Why is there a node named User-defined on t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Advice on installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional and SQL Server 2005 Developer

  I've downloaded from MSDN the released versions of VS2005 Professional and SQL Server 2005 Developer editions. Does anyone know the proper sequence to install these products TIA, Richard I installed SQL Server Dev first, then installed VS, but when VS loads, there are no SQL components listed on the splash screen, just VB, C# and VWD.

• Windows Forms NumericUpDown bug with data binding?

  I have a data entry form where I am using a NumericUpDown control. I have bound all of the controls via a BindingSource to a class I have created in my application. If I click in the control and change the value from 1 to 10 by simply adding a zero on the end, the bound value does not get updated when I use the tab key to advance to the next control. If I use the mouse to select another control the bound value is updated. If I select or erase the contents of the control prior to entering a new value the bound control will update after a tab. If I use the up and down buttons to change the value in this control, the bound value updates. The co ...Show All

• SQL Server Annoying behavior in report designer

  I have a report with a complex dataset query that involves a temp table. Anytime I make a change to that query and save or change tabs, I get this message: Could not generate a list of fields for the query. Invalid object name #[temp table name]. (Error 208) Fair enough, but the real nuisance is that every time this happens it erases all of the dataset parameters I have previously set up. I have to redefine them every time. I hope this behavior changes in the future. I'm using technique like this: IF (OBJECT_ID('#temp') IS NOT NULL) DROP TABLE #temp ... SELECT * from Table INTO #temp ...Show All
