• Visual Studio VS2005 Beta 2 install from CD

  So I ordered the VS2005 Beta 2 CDs and received 3 CDs named VS2005-Team Suit, VS2005-Team Foundation Server, and SQLServer2005-Developer Edition. I assume that the actual IDE program is contained on the disk named VS2005-Team Suite but that CD is blank. I'm surprised to only receive 3 disks as Beta 1 was 5 if I recall correctly. I called M$ and they very quickly sent anther copy of the 3 CDs (very surprised!) in which that same disk is empty. Do I have the correct CDs   Should I ask for yet another set http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/ ...Show All

I would also recommend that you don't write all in UPPER CASE letters, it is considered screaming and it is rude to scream. If you need help you should try to explain your problem a bit more t ...Show All

• .NET Development Serialization of "anyType"?

  Hi, I have used XSD.exe to create some classes for serialization. In my XSD, I have an element like this: < xs:complexType name = " contentsType " > < xs:sequence > < xs:any processContents = " skip " minOccurs = " 0 " maxOccurs = " unbounded " /> </ xs:sequence > </ xs:complexType > The resultant auto-generated class for this, looks like this: /// <remarks/> [ System .

• SQL Server Revoking All Permissions - Secure by Default

  I am designing my software to be 'secure by default'. I only grant permissions to entities that actually require them, to help prevent unexpected attacks like injection attacks. To do this, I have a SQL script that configures all the permissions on my database. It is basically a series of GRANT commands. Every time I modify a stored procedure or perform a similar action that causes the permissions on an object to be lost, I run the script and it reconfigures all the security correctly, on every object. Over time, permissions have been granted that are not necessary, or no longer required. This may have happened for many reasons, development ...Show All

• Visual Studio C# as macro language

  I've heard that C# may be available as a language for writing macros in the future.  It seems like that could be a relatively easy thing to do.  Is there any ongoing work on this   This is something that we are looking into doing for a future release, there are no immediate plans, but this could change.

• Windows Forms Adding an eventhandler to a control created at runtime

  I need some help. I'm creating an application where I add control on runtime to a form. This works fine and I can set all the properties I want. But my problem is how to add a procedure to those controls. I have several controls using the same procedure for handling some specific events (e.g. MouseUp, MouseDown). Can somebody provide a sample or some hints how to solve this Hi, if you want to add a new event handler to your component do something like this: myControl.MouseDown += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.myControl_MouseDown); and then define your event handler: private void myC ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView + RowValidating = Index 4 does not have a value?

  Hello, I recently setup my DataGridView to use the RowValidating event.  However, whenever a user types something in to a NewRow (as to cause the DGV to create a new row and consider the current row's NewRow = false) and then hit escape to cancel the edit, the DataError exception goes nuts.  It keeps spitting out "Index 4 does not exist" in what seems to be an infinite loop. Here is my RowValidating code: private void dgvMain_RowValidating( object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e) {   if (dgvMain.Rows[e.RowIndex] != null && !dgvMain.Rows[e.RowIndex].IsNewRow)  {    string er ...Show All

• SQL Server MSSQL service restart on principal whilst mirroring...

  I have a problem that has happened a couple of times now. I'm in the process of testing our 2005 deployment - Standard edition on 2003 x64 servers for principal and mirror and 2005 express witness. All are pre SP1. Two databases are being mirrored. I have successfully set up mirroring which seems to work fine - but when I restart the MSSQL service on the principal, spurious things happen: The server that *was* the principal before restart database A is in (Mirror, Disconnected / In Recovery) state database B is in (In Recovery) The server that *was* the mirror: database A is in (Principal, Disconnected) database B ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Virtual PC images

  I thought I heard some talk about Team Foundation Server Virtual PC images being given used at PDC (or TechEd I forget which). I was wondering if there were any plans to make this available to the public or to MSDN Subscribers. It'd be great if they were as it would save a lot of time, when all many of us really want to do is get it up and running so we can test the functionality. Trying to sell this technology to the check writers is difficult as it is, and anything that helps get it setup and running faster would help that. Thanks We're working to make them available for download to MSDN Subscribers. We're ...Show All

• SQL Server Error:... it requires a higher level edition.

  I've read some threads on this topic and all have been solved by installing the SSIS service. This would be fine except for the fact that I already have SSIS installed and working on the server the package is being called from. I have several scheduled packages that work without error and a few that fail, telling me "Error: ... it requires a higher level edition." Does SSIS need to be installed on the target server as well Do I need to do a reinstall Please advise. Thanks. -Matt The error should indicate which component requires higher level edition. Some components (like Fuzzy Grouping) do require ...Show All
