Also in my Add Remove Programs I still see SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition , I do not see any SSRS 2005 entry. FYI.

• SQL Server Format String

  What is the difference between "#,#0.00" and "#,#.00" In the 2nd case, numbers between 0 and 1 won't have a leading 0. So, for example, "0.31" (1st string) will display as ".31" (2nd string): http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms146084.aspx >> 0 Represents a digit placeholder that displays a digit or a zero (0). If the number has a digit in the position where the zero appears in the format string, the formatted value displays the digit. Otherwise, the formatted value displays a zero in that position. If the number has fewer digits than there are zeros (on eit ...Show All

• Windows Forms Paint Event Problem

  I have a Windows application that overrides the Paint method to change the presentation of the form. Basically, it paints a red border around the edge of the form. I also have a couple of panels that fill up the form. One is docked to the left and the other fills the remaining space. Each of these panels also has an override to the paint event. The overrides are in the Form1 class. The problem: The project solution compiles and runs just fine on my laptop. However, when I copy the entire solution to my desktop computer, the application will run, but the two panels do not update their display! I have placed breakpoints in the respect ...Show All

• SQL Server Express vs MySQL

  Where can I go to get information on supported features on Express I had heard that express does not support functions. I have a dotnet application that is connecting to Access and the client wants to go to either mysql or express and I am looking for a pro or con on both. I usually use SQL2000 but I am wondering if there is a limit on the size of the database for express. Which is not a concern for about year but will be an issue after that.

• .NET Development SQL Data class / structure?

  Someone on a board somewhere took a look at my code and said I shouldn't be manually assembling strings for SQL queries, I should be using an SQL Data class (or was it a structure). I can't find a good, clear reference to this. Advice Dave, When you say, you are assembling queries, do you mean that you are appending just parameter values to the existing query skeleton or you are building the query on the fly If you are just appending the parameter values then you should take a look at SqlParameter class for SqlClient Managed Provider. It provides a safe and a reliable way to add parameter values for a query. ...Show All
