• Visual C++ Error result 31

Project Could anyone tell me the cause of this It doesnt seem like a program specific error. blitZ We're using the final RTM release of VS 2005 (v8.0.50727.42), and yesterday morning, we started seeing this exact error on two of our build machines (after never seeing it through three months of development).

• SQL Server sp_dropsubscription, article

  Hi There I needed to change a column definition for a published table. I did the following. sp_dropsubscription for publication specifying the one article. sp_droparticle for the specific publication/artcile BOL is not very clear here, i presume this drops the subscription ONLY for the 1 article , correct Secondly i then altered the table accordingly then ran sp_addarticle for the publication/article then sp_addsubscription for the newly defined article. This seems to have worked fine. But i now see there are 2 distribution agents for this publication to this subscriber. What exactly has happended Is the 1 distribution agent now simply dedi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Kernel debugger?

  Hi,    I am having problems setting up Vista (5231) for kernel debugging. I am able to use livekd (sysinternals), but I would like to set up a system for remote debugging as well. The first problem I encounter is setting up the boot.ini.  It appears that the boot.ini menu is never shown by the boot manager when booting vista.  I can either boot "Windows" or a "legacy (pre-longhorn)" system. Other posts I've read seem to indicate that the boot.ini menu shows up when booting legacy systems (ie. winxp), but I don't have one on my system. Next, I noticed that if I hit F8, I can turn on "Debugging" during boot.  However ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Secure webservice

  Hi, I am not quite sure if this is the place to ask this, but I really need help for this subject. I want to secure a web service so only clients with a username and a password can access the web service. The problem is that the clients are both Pocket Pc 2003 PDA's and ordinary C# desktop Applications. The CF2 is not capable of using WSE so what do I do! I have found this article which states that a username and a password can be send along with the SOAP Header. So now I think that this is the answer to my question, but is it also possible to do from a Pocket Pc App Or is there other ways of doing this! Thank you - Nim ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection managers - OLE DB

  Hi There Quick question.In DTS when you had multiples tasks connecting to the same Database, it was reccomended that you create multiple connections for the same database and let each task use a different connection, thereby making a new connection for each one. In SSIS if i define 1 OLE DB connection to a database, but i have say 6 tasks using that connection that run simultaneously, does eachone open a new connection to the database to make it more efficient Or do i still need to define multiple connections to the same database and assign each task a different connection Thanx Did you have retain same connection set to true I don't h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Unlock a lock in another workspace

  Say a dev has a bunch of files of locked (checkout or checkin locks) and leaves to go on vacation for a month (yeah - bad dev).  As a project administrator I see in the security dialog box that I have the right to "unlock other user's changes" but I can't figure out how to do it from the VS UI or the command line.  How do you do this Keith, your lock command did actually work.  The command doesn't produce any other output because the workspace is not local.  So it succeeded, and then it proceeded to let you know that you may need to run get on the computer hosting the workspace in order t ...Show All
