• .NET Development Sent EMail Good to a Domain That Cannot Be Looked up on DNS - How is that possible?

  I am writing an .NET e-mail client program. I am checking the e-mail address's domain name via a DNS lookup before I send an e-mail. Consider: person@att.net While I can sent e-mail to person@att.net , "att.net" does not exist on the domain name server. What concept am I missing How can any program find a computer by name "att.net" without going through DNS Brian Hmm... How are you using the DNS lookup You may be looking for a host record (type A) but you should look for a mail exchanger record (type MX). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Show me the Money

  Hello All, I think I asked this before... I return a result from a query, say $1.35 to a textbox. I want to show that number in a different textbox and be able to add $1.00 in $1.00 increments up to a $50 dollar limit. I also want to subtract $1.00 amounts from it. I've tried several ways, but cannot get it to work. Thanks, Elgee...

• Visual Studio Team System baseline utility: how to define CODE_ANALYSIS_BASELINE in a web project?

  Hi, If I elect to transfer FxCop excluded messages via the baseline.exe utility, how can I define CODE_ANALYSIS_BASELINE in a web site/project in order to ensure the resulting SuppressMessage attributes are processed Thanks...paul Edit: corrected the flag name, sorry. This information is written out to the local web cache settings on the client, unfortunately. This is an artifact of the way that WSP projects are handled in VS (WSP wasn't designed to have a complete VS project system and code model).

• SQL Server Basing Report on a Procedure with Cursor

  I need some advice on how to design a report using cursors. Is it possible to base a report on a cursor I would think that I would have to put the cursor into a stored procedure and call that procedure. But if I do use the cursor in the procedure, will the looped variables automatically populate the report or will I need to insert them into a table that populates the report Thanks, cj If the data source type is "Oracle" and you want to call a Oracle stored procedure, please search for related threads on this forum regarding Oracle stored procedures (e.g. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPos ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can I run a query as a data source to a SQL Server database?

  Hi, all. Is it possible to run a query in the data source rather than connect it to a table I have a SQL Server database that I would like to run a query on rather than select from a specific table. Thank you. Yulia, I beleive you are asking about Data Driven Unit Tests.

• SQL Server Why do all packages in the project open when running one in debug mode?

  Does anyone know why this happens When I run one of the packages in my project (by hitting the play button in the designer), all of the other packages in that project open before it starts running Thank you. To add more info ... this didn't happen before I copied the project files to a different computer and changed the security settings to "don't save sensitive", modifed the packages, then changed back to "encrypt with user key". But even after I did that, the original issue above didn't start happening right away. That indicates to me this is not the cause. Any ideas ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form Resize incorrectly

  I have a problem with Form Resize: Make a Form (autoscalemode DPI), place one button in the lower right part of the form(Autosize false - Anchoring None). When I then resize the form, either in design or run mode, the button does not keep its location. Not even if you consider it is the top left corner that should be in the same relative position. The button disapears out of the right corner when the form is made smaller. It looks as if the resizing is only doing half of the resizing it should do. I have now written a Form_Resize event which works, but I don't understand why the resizing in VB.NET does not work correctly. Anybody knows the t ...Show All
