• SQL Server Trigger on enable / disable SQL User

  Is it possible to run a trigger whenever a SQL user is disabled or enabled From what I've seen of various sysusers and syslogins tables there isn't a column that represents enabled or disabled. One more thing about non-schema scoped names (like DDL triggers, ...) SELECT OBJECT_ID(' SomeTriggerforAlterLogin ') will always return NULL because it doesn't "know" how to look outside of the schema namespace. This is doc'ed in the BOL, but customers are tripping over it. ...Show All

• SQL Server Namespace in every element from web service

• Windows Forms HtmlDocument 2.0

  Hi, In C# 2.0, I have a WebBrowser 2.0 control embedded in a UserControl. I need to retrieve the href property from each Link in a Links collection. This can be achieved through mshtml.HTMLDocument with the "href" property like this: foreach (mshtml.IHTMLElement link in wbDoc.links) { string sHref = link.href; } It seems that WebBrowser 2.0 implement HtmlDocument and it don't have a "href" property. How can I get the "href" from a HtmlDocument like foreach (mshtml.IHTMLElement link in wbDoc.links) { string sHref = link. ; } or, how can I implemen ...Show All

  Hi! How can I ensure to have a universal date format (mm-dd-yyyy), independent of regional settings, in an application The code is this: DateTime date = new DateTime(); date = DateTime.Now.Date; Now, if regional setting is English-US, date value will be in "mm-dd-yyyy" format (9/22/2005).

• Smart Device Development Converting Wav files to Mp3

  Can you please help me in giving a suitable code in VB.Net or C# .Net to  convert Wav files to Mp3 in smart phone Device Emulator . Version: MSDN 2003 Expecting a quick reply .....Thanks in advance.....    Most likely there’s no such thing as MP3 encoder for PPC in VB or C#. Many reasons from performance issues to copyright issues would prevent that. You might be able to adapt some of C++ sources available (e.g. LAME), but that would take a lot of effort and performance will be far from real time. ...Show All

• Visual C# Is C# the best language to learn/know?

  Hello, I am currently studying C#.  I presumed that C# is much better than VB.NET and so started studying it.  But it seems to me that most everyone related to microsoft is always pushing for VB.NET and not having much to say about C#, so what is going on   Id Est; - I now regularly catch the Dot NET Rocks radio show, which seems to be based, or at least biased toward VB.NET.  - I stumbled upon the VB.NET PDC05 disk online at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/pdc05/default.aspx which I was quite impressed with, so I thought I'd find the C# equivalent, to no avail.  Please let me know if there is one availa ...Show All

• Visual Studio A Pause Task for debugging

  I have a request for future versions of MSBuild. A Pause Task that I can use to make MSBuild wait while I attach a debugger. This would help immensly with debugging. Okay, it looks like both the SDC & MSBuild.Community libraries have a Sleep Task. I still think this is important enough to warrant inclusion in the base library.Okay, it looks I am assuming that you want to debug a task If that's the case, then a simple trick to do this is to throw up a MessageBox which pauses the task, and then you can attach a debugger. We had also posted a HowTo on our blog about debugging custom tasks. http://blogs. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Check if underlying dataset was updated

  I've looked everywhere. This has to be an easy one. How do you check if the data has been updated when using data binding in Windows Forms 2.0. I know you can check each row individually to see if it was modified, but that seems like a lot of work for such a simple task. This will be used to check if something was not been saved during the form closing event. Hello. I guess it really depends on what you're binding to. It sounds like you're bound to a dataset of some sort. If so you can just check the HasChanges property on the dataset instance. For example: Dim MyDataSet as SomeStronglyTypedDat ...Show All
