I want to be able to change location of application and mdb file without any problems thank a lot arek Arek, While developing applications it is always a good thing decoupling your application with other sources (data sources - in this case your data source is access mdf file). I guess your were using a new connection wizard and hardcoded your connection string into your project and so coupled ...Show All

• Visual C++ Looking for a jpg tutorial...

  Hey, first I'd like to say that I have looked long and hard for good tutorials. Not having found any, I would like to come here and ask for referals (or if someone is feeling particularly generous they could help me out themselves). I need to create a program which will allow the user to select a picture, type in a name, and then the program will dump out a JPG with the picture positioned on a background and their name positioned below the name. The picture will be from a digital camera, in a JPG format, so it will need to be re-sized from a large picture to something only about 1"x2" in size. The background will be static. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions "Advanced Compile Options" and Problem with "console"

  --> I'm sorry I think I've posted this into the wrong forum before. I was previously working with Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 and since .NET Framework 2.0 I switched to Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. There is no "Advanced Compile Options" in the "My Project"/Compile tab. Is this normal (I can't set any "optimize" settings) And for some reason the console window doesn't show up when it's called: Sub something Console.Write("something") End Sub and when i try this: Console.Title = "something" I get this error: "IO Exception was unhandled" "The handle is invalid." I'm bit lost, that never happend before (with VS 2005 beta 2) Can anyone hel ...Show All

• .NET Development WS-SecureConversation and UsernameToken

  Hello, I've posted this on the Channel 9 Techoff forums but it doesn't seem to be getting any responses there so I thought I would try it here: I've tried searching for online material and looking through some code samples but am still in doubt as to the easiest way to do the following:  I want to initiate a SecureConversation using a UsernameToken, and do it in a secure manner.  Now, sending UsernameTokens securely seems to be a hot topic but none of the examples I've looked at seem to be any good.  Two methtods seem like good solutions but they really aren't that great (in terms of elegance) and I really think there is a ...Show All

• SQL Server Where is the package running?

  When I ran a package directly on the machine with sql 2005 installed it ran at a fine speed. But when I used Remote Desktop to access the same client and run the same package it was much slower. 1. I think that the package is running in the memory\cpu of the local machine. Is this correct 2. Is there any way for the remote client to run the package in the server's memory\cpu TIA, barkingdog How do you run the package If you use DtExec, or DtExecUI, the package runs on the same machine when this process runs (actually inside DtExec[UI] process). ...Show All

• SQL Server Install sql2005 in a server with sql2000?

  Hello, I have a server with sql 2000 and lots of databases, I want to install sql 2005 but I dont want to upgrade or migrate, it has to be another instance, the sql 2000 databases have to stay untouched. I think the only think I must do, is in the setup wizard, just dont select default instance, select named instance and put a name in that textbox, but I need an offical answer from you guys, The Experts, so in that way we can proceed to the setup without fear. Yes. You are right. SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 can be installed side by side successfully. Based on your specification, your SQL 2000 is installed as the defau ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro foxpro dos program convert to foxpro window (any)

  I have a software created in foxpro 2.5 which i want to convert it to any foxpro under windows. there is any command or utility which can hlep me out. Regards, Asad If you have a copy of Visual FoxPro you should be able to open the 2.5 project and recompile it pretty much as is. There are a few gotchas like needing to turn theme support off and such. But, if you aren't looking to rewrite this application and just wish to compile a 32-bit windows executable from it... VFP should get you where you want to go. Visual FoxPro 9 is available for around $550 - $600 depending on the reseller. ...Show All

• Visual C++ C4533 warning, "initialization skipped by goto"

  Is this warning buggy in MSVC 7.1 or is it just a stupid warning In the example given here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/f7687yks.aspx It makes sense because the condition, (1) will always be true and the goto will always skip the initialization. But the following code gives me the same C4533 warning and it makes absolutely no sense why it should. #include <iostream> using namespace std; struct TOILET {     int handle;     int water;     int color; }; int main() {     int poop;     cin >> poop;     if (poop == 12345) ...Show All

• .NET Development WinForms Vs WebForms

  Where can I get the list of pros & cons generally speaking WinForms are Richable but not reachable , on the contrary WebForms are Reachable (but not richable due to performance factors). so the question is : can we have a form that is both richable and reachable at the same time . the answer is simply , yes "Click-Once deployment ". there was an old article about hosting a windows form over IIS , and this would lead to the death of browsers we know today . http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet10142001.asp so if we can really work this way by hosting winforms over IIS , why would we nee ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Implementing annotations for FixedDocuments shown in DocumentViewer

  Hi, I'm using a DocumentViewer control to show a fixed document with multiple fixed pages. Individual fixed pages actually contain UI elements (DockPanel, TextBox, TextBlock etc) loaded from different Xaml files using XamlReader. But I cannot select the contents of the textblock shown inside a fixed page. My question is whether it is possible to implement annotations for the static text displayed in TextBlock controls If not what are the other options available for implementing annotations for UI content shown through DocumentViewer Thanks. You cannot select text within a text block. You might want to ...Show All

• SQL Server Analysis Services 2005 Drillthrough

  Is there a way to replicate the same behaviour of Analysis Services 2000 drill-through into Analysis Services 2005 This new version allows drill through only to cube data and not to the source data (SQL Server for example). I don’t want to load cubes with detailed data that I don’t need for making calculations, but I want to let this details to be visible to users only with drill-through analysis.
