• SQL Server Database Diagrams - SQL Server 2005 Express

  I have installed Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL server 2005 Express. I am reading the ebook: "Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - Build a Program Now" that you download when you register the products (it is a PDF file named 6-2213-2.pdf) Page 139 of the book (or 151 in the file) is about "To Create Relationships between Tables". So I follow the instruction and get stuck on Step 1. When I right click on the Database Diagrams folder under CarTracker.mdf database and choose Add New Diagram I get the following message: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition --------------------------- This ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions New Project dialog box

  I need to find out how to get the "New Project" dialog box back. I think I checked the "Don't show this again box, and the info I have found refers to choices that don't appear under the options tab on either of the two computers I am using. Perhaps you could try eleting the CurrentSettings File that resides in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Settings\VB Express Remember to make a backup copy of this file elsewhere in case it mucks things up.  Express will likely create a new settings file and reset the application to it's install state ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection not called on first load of Word after installation

  I've written a managed com add-in for Word using Visual Studio 2003. The solution includes a com addin shim created using the wizard available through msdn. I've noticed that the OnConnection method, which in turn calls the OnStartUpComplete method, does not get called the first time that Word is loaded after the add-in is intalled. If I close Word and open it again, then the method runs. The LoadBehavior registry setting is 3, which I understand is the most common setting and should cause the method to run on each loading including the first. I'd appreciate any explanations as to what causes this behaviour. How is it possible to ge ...Show All

• Visual C++ What are guideline for threadpool implementation ?

  I am new to ATL and C++. So please forgive me for any non-sence qustion. I am working on filedownload functionality. What are the steps and guideline to create its own thread pool. Thanks in advance ! Its doubtful that you'll find "guidelines." If you want advice on implementing threads (including best practices) you might want to search this forum (and C++ Language) for "threading." There has been a couple long threads discussing this. Thread pooling per se I don't think have been discussed, but I may be able to at least motivate you towards something that works for you ...Show All

• SQL Server Programmatically create a Data Conversion Transformation

  Hello, does anyone know of a good example of how to programmatically add a Data Conversion Transformation to a package I have come so far that I have the component in my dataflow task, but I don't know how to set the properties of it. That is, how to determine the columns that should be converted and to what data type etc. I (as far as I understand) need a data conversion transformation since I have not managed to create (via the designer) a package that reads data from an AS400 via DB2OLEDB and stores it in a SQL Server 2005 Database. I keep getting the error "string cannot be converted from unicode to non-unicode" ( ...Show All

• Visual J# Visual J#

  Hello, I'm new to this software and new to programming itself but I do know a little bit of Java and Visual Basic. I was wondering though, what exactly is Visual J# Can someone please tell me and help me out. Hi, J# is a programming language like C# is. It is one of the languages shipped with visual studio. J# has been developed to target those java developers who are interested in migrating to .net. That's why J# syntax is similar to java. J# has it's own set of class libraries, different from .net class libraries and it provides developers flexibility to use either of them. J# class libraries are there so ...Show All
