Below is my code SqlParameter word1 = new SqlParameter(); word1.ParameterName = "@tb_1"; word1.Value = TextBox1; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM ApprovedComponents WHERE Vendor = @tb_1"); cmd.Parameters.Add(word1); //Used this in hope after entering cmd into SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand after cmd failed const string command = "SELECT * FROM ApprovedComponents WHERE Ve ...Show All

  Windows 2000 SP4 I have installed the Microsoft Device Emulator Community Preview, with ActiveSync, but am unable to get it to Cold Boot.

• Visual Studio Converting IDTWizard to GAT project and solution templates.

  I'm trying to convert our existing project templates into GAT. Unfortunately my GAT doesn't let me do some things and does too many things for me in other cases. First, let's throw away the Visual Studio text replacement stuff everywhere and use the "T3" stuff. I previously complained about this for project items and somebody replied that I might be able to do that in the next release of GAT. Does this also apply to project templates Second, the Action is only ran AFTER the project has been created. There is no way that I can see to get in before the project is built. Third, I can't disable the project Name and Location. My wizard is respon ...Show All

• SQL Server Toggling Visibility on a Snapshot not working

  I have a clean SQL 2005 install, with SP1 installed. It is connecting to a TeraData warehouse. I have create a few reports that Toggle the Visibility and they have seemed to work just fine. Until I render them from a snapshot (the problem doesn't exist with a cached copy). Once I render from a snapshot the ability to toggle the hidden rows goes away. It looks as if it is going to show the rows then returns to it collapsed state. The ReportServer database is on a separate machine from the Web Service. The Web Service is running in a Virtual Server (R2 - latest). The reports are only being accessed from within the intranet and the proble ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactions and Service Broker

  Problem: I want to use the Service Broker to split up my processes so that they can process concurrently next to each other, but I only want the changes committed if all the processes of the same conversation group succeed. Is this possible in the service broker I came up with this, but the problem with this solution is that my transactions are all started first (4 in this example) and only are committed after all 4 are started, so only the last commit has the effect of commiting the changes to the database... Any pointers would be helpfull! Cheers, Peter. Code: [CODE] /* CREATE DATABASE testpdd USE testpdd create master key encryption by p ...Show All

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Server 2003. All service packs are installed. I first had this problem when trying to distribute an application for testing so I then created a simple application to try and narrow down the problem but to no avail...
