• SQL Server SQL 2000 Publisher and SQL 2005 Suscriber

  Where can I found information on how its works and how to do it I tried to do it but I always received an error message Check out the following topic in SQL 2005 BOL: Using Multiple Versions of SQL Server in a Replication Topology (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/rpldata9/html/45154b65-b46f-4aad-82e4-261376a7e9d4.htm) The general rule of thumb for replication topologies involving multiple versions of SQL Server is the following (with a couple exceptions): SQL Server Version of Distributor >= SQL Server Version of Publisher >= SQL Server Version of Subscriber.

• Visual Studio Generate many files from one template?

  I have a DSL now taking shape, including generating code that executes properly, and I must say I am pleased with how quickly it has come together. Now I have a secondary goal to fill: producing static documentation from the diagram. I'd like to produce a set of HTML files (one for each instance of the primary classes in the DSL). I don't see how I can do that with the current structure, which allows me to generate exactly one file from each template. Do I need to create a new DirectiveProcessor or TextTransformation class Can you offer any pointers on how to create many files from one template Thanks, Brian. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Why Don't SmartPhone Apps Provide Exit?

  Why don't SmartPhone applications provide an exit function Would I be doing something wrong if I develop an application with an exit function Thanks, BS"D Thank you very much for your reply. As far as startup lag, I find that my Audiovox SMT5600 starts applications up very quickly. In fact, starting an application with a minimum of applications running, executes more quickly than a resume of an application at a time when many applications are running concurrently. Therefore, I think that I will provide an Exit function on my application menu. In fact, I think that I will provide two options: Suspend - which will pre ...Show All

• Visual C# Interop in reverse

  I am currently trying to upgrade the user interface of a project that was written in unmanaged C++ under VS6. The project is in MFC. The application handles computing Takeoff and Landing information for a variety of cargo aircraft. The UI is a Single Document template using the CDocument-CFormView template. What I have done so far is to use a StrategyFactory pattern to abstract the current UI so that the user will be given the current UI for all aircraft except the ones we are customizing the entry form for. This way we can customize data entry and calculations for each airframe (one at a time) without affecting all users. Now that we ha ...Show All

• .NET Development Minimal Payload Web Services - a good or bad idea. Comments Please

    An approach to Web Service development has been proposed to me that basically restricts the payload, in all cases,  to a single string. The string contains the actual payload as an XML document. The reasoning behind this is to place the burden of validating the XML on the provider. The downside is that the published wsdl doesn't contain the definition of the required payload. It becomes something that has to be managed/documented externally. What do you see as the pros and cons of this approach   Regards, Rob This should be a better way to go, when you are buildin ...Show All
