• Visual J# Problems with 'Alter Login'

  I have a Win32 program to restore a SQL Server backup, and properly map the SQL Server login IDs in the restored database, with the Logins on the Server. I even create the Logins on the server if they don't exist. All this worked great on 7.0 and 2000. In 2005 I'm using the 'Alter Login' command, as I need to specify 'CHECK_POLICY = OFF'. If I restore a backup from my Win32 program, the restore works. The I execute the following command to set the password: ALTER LOGIN MyUserID WITH PASSWORD = 'NewP@ss' , CHECK_POLICY = OFF I see the command executed on the server via Profiler. But I'm unable to log onto the database with that UserI ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions missing features?

  Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if features such as the bookmark window, refactoring fields into properties (among other refactoring options), and other similar types of functionality are not availabe in the Express Editions I can't find these options in C# EE, even though I'm looking exactly where they should be. Thanks, John Yes, I've seen that comparison, but it doesn't mention anything about refactoring (unless it's under a different name), nor does it refer to something as specific as the bookmark window. I understand that the Express Editions are slimmed down, but the features I'm asking for aren't ...Show All

• Visual C# What is the best way to send and receive xml data via POST to server

  Hi all, I need to send POST of some xml data and the server will respond afer checking some parameters for validation. Currently i'm using XmlReader class inside System.Xml reference. From what i know, this XmlReader is actually iterating thru all the nodes in the XML file and stop at my specified nodes to retrieve string/text data. Is this efficient in terms of performance or is there any other means that do not require the cursor to go thru all the nodes Maybe can jump straight to the intended node/nodes and retrieve content.

  Hi. Here is an example of something I want to create graphically: Now I think I can handle the content (i.e. get a datagrid and populate it :P) but want im after is information on how I would create the item.

So how do I go about doing soemthing like this Ive cr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Correlation with nested custom activities

  (beta 2.2) I want to make a custom activity (1) that contains another custom activity (2). The innermost custom activity contains a CallExternalMethod activity that builds a message (in the MethodInvoking event), and sends this to an external application. On the ExternalDataExchange interface a "CorrelationParameter" is defined. My outermost custom activity (1) contains as its first step my custom activity (2), because the building and sending of the messages is something I'd like to share in multiple other custom activities. The second activity is a HandleExternalEvent activity that receives the response to the CallExternalMeth ...Show All
