• SQL Server upgrade to 2005

  I am running MSDE2000 will the installation of MSDE2005 (sqlexpr.exe) recognise this installation (and it's databases) and upgrade it just to be sure ... Regards Patrick It is simple. Setup will automatically detects your SQL 2000 components. Please check the instance name of your SQL 2000. When you install SQL 2005, use the same instance name. Then setup will prompt for upgrade. That is it. Be sure to back up your database files in case it will fail. ...Show All

• Visual C# Generic.Dictionary ContainsValue doesnt work

  Problem with Generic.Dictionary and Generic.SortedDictionary. ContainsValue function of both of these classes work with usuall datatypes. But when you make a collection of the objects of a class that you have defined yourself it doesnt work. I know that it requires you to implement IComparable which i have done. And this implementation works fine for the other function - Sort- that demands it. Please help. The help says: Dictionary<T>.ContainsValue uses EqualityComparer<T>.Default to find the value. EqualityComparer<T>.Default uses IEquatable (if T implements this interface), and falls b ...Show All

• Visual C# Pass by Whatever

  Hi! I am confused by the insistence of both Java and C# that passing a reference type is not pass-by-reference but pass-by-value. I take it that since you get a copy of the reference, they consider it pass-by-value Then, what is passed in pass-by-reference A handle (pointer to a pointer) And, if so, isn't it a copy of the handle that's being passed As you can see, I am missing something. Please, lay it out simply for me. (Pass-by-value--I get.) Thx! AFAIK, a reference type is passed, but if you change the value within the method, then a copy is made. If you use the ref keyword, then the reference continues to refer to the same ...Show All

• Visual Basic USB serial port control using Visual Basic 2005 SerialPort .NET component

  Does anyone have experience or an example of using VB 2005's SerialPort control for a USB Serial port connection I can get it to work with a standard serial port, but not with a USB serial-port device. My current solution uses the 3rd-party PortController, but this is unsatisfactory as they want US$400 for the privilege!!!

• SQL Server SSIS won't install!

  Hi I have installed SQL Server 2005 but Integration Services is just not there. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and in the process uninstalled an old version of Visual Studio.NET (manually because it wouldn't uninstall automatically) and Visual Web Developer, just in case they were interfering with Integration Services. No luck, in fact it got worse, now Analysis Services also does not work because it can't find devenv.exe! I have installed exactly this same software on another clean PC (ie. no previous Visual Studio variants on it) and it installs perfectly. There seems to be some kind of clash between old versions ...Show All
