• SQL Server Where to begin?

  Hi, I'm totally new to sqlexpress and I'm trying to create a database to store websites that my desktop application will manipulate; however, I don't know where to start, I've read many articles on msdn but they all are either non-existent or wasn't very helpful. All I want to do is create a table. Do I use vb.net express 2k5 or sql server express manager I figure MS have to have created some kind of GUI for designing databases, if not I guess I'll just start hand writting the tables. Thanks for any help. -novice vs.net'er Also there is a command line only tool that comes with SQL Express: sqlcmd. It is useful for batch processin ...Show All

• .NET Development [2.0] InvalidOperationException: The Undo operation encountered a context that is different from what was applied in the...

  Hi, I have a Windows.Form application that call a method in a remote object when the user press a button. That application works fine in .Net 1.1 but in 2.0 returns the following error: "System.InvalidOperationException: The Undo operation encountered a context that is different from what was applied in the corresponding Set operation. The possible cause is that a context was Set on the thread and not reverted(undone)." And there's no stack trace (VS2005 shows only "External Code"). The latest thing I'v tried was calling a method in the remote object using Invoke and Delegate: delegate string Delegat ...Show All

• Visual Basic Protecting Class Library DLL's?

  I originally posted this on VBForums.com, but haven't received any replies yet, so I thought I'd try here. Anyway, the project I'm currently working on is getting quite large and we are looking at breaking a few components of the software off into manageable class libraries (i.e. DLL's). I've been experimenting with it over the past few days and the problem I'm finding is that the DDL's are insecure. What I mean by this, is that when we distribute our software to the public, anyone with Visual Studio 2005 will be able to create a VB application, then add our DDL's as references and viola, they now have access to the internal functionality a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Architecture Question

  Good Day, I am working at an org that is looking at VS Team Foundation. Windows and non-Windows platforms are utilized for varient solutions in the business model. Test results are ported to SQL 2005 for reporting. I would like to move the reporting to VSTF but have the following questions/concerns: 1. Can you create the .vsmdi and .trx files programmatically (or is there a tool that will create these files - xml input) (thus allowing tests that cannot be run from MSTest.exe to be published) 2. Can you add MetaData for test results where the existing MetaData is not robust enough in some capacity 3. What is the MS story ...Show All

• Visual Studio Do all custom properties have GUIDs?

  Do all elements in a domain model including custom properties have by default a GUID assigned I can query If not how could I do that Two thoughts: 1) Calculating a custom property value ( http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=15445 ) If yes, where exactly do I have to implement method "GetValueForCustomStoredAttribute" 2) Creating a custom property of type GUID and assign the actual GUID at runtime as asked in http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=68141 Cheers, Alex Hi Harry, I think that decision is probably lost in the mists of time to be quite honest with you.  The ma ...Show All

• Visual C# Windowsform : hideframe with transparency

  Hi, I've made a form with a label which is transparent. I've also got a contextmenustrip with an item that makes it possible to hide the formframe : this .FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms. FormBorderStyle .None; When I execute this code, the frame hides, but the complete forms moves up the height of the frame (I can live with this), but also the background (which is transparent) moves up (without repainting). I don't know if this explains the problem enough, so I will give an example. Let's say you move the form to a place where the top of the transparent area is the beginnen of a color area in the background ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Inheriting from StateMachineWorkflowActivity

  Hi all, I'm wanting to supply all child state workflows with common props + methods. I'm looking into inheriting from StateMachineWorkflowActivity. All goes well except....(there's always a 'but') 1) when creating the 'parent activity' - e.g. class CoreWorkflow : StateMachineWorkflowActivity That project wont compile as it needs an initial starting state. I've tried a few fudges that 'sort of' work - but nothing I feel confident with. 2) when inheriting, the child workflow complains that there should be only one initial state. (the designers take over and have a mind of their own - thought about creating my own designers, dont ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HTML Traffic seen as [Binary Data]

  In my Web test, I am calling urls that look like this https://systestonline/WCBSecAuthMember.Authenticate.AuthenticateMember.mts In this case the http status is 302 (redirect), but I also have similar calls to other urls that have the same format (the mts extension). Recording is fine, the recorder also detects that the hidden fields need to be correlated. However, when I play back, these hidden fields cannot be found because the data is deemed to be [Binary Data] and not containing HTML. When I look in the response tag, I see the following: 0x00000000  3C  21  44  4F  43  54  59  50  ...Show All

• SQL Server Interactive Sort and Hidden Groups

  I have some reports with grouping that have all but the group heading hidden by default, using the group heading as a toggle item. Within the details of the group there are some columns that have interactive sorting. When I open one of the groups and click on the sort icon the report refreshes on the screen with the group that I expanded closed again. If I open the group I can see that it has sorted that column properly. Is there anyway to prevent the group(s) from showing up as closed when a sort is done I see this behavior using the Report Manager or the webform control. ...Show All
