• Visual Studio 6.0d vs 2005 (8.0) Database

  For my own clarification, if the 6.0d and 8.0 (2005) databases are the same (w/ the exception on the unicode formatting) as noted in the thread below... http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=85458&SiteID=1 Do the DDCONV and DDUPD maintenance utilities have any effect when run against a 6.0d database My organization is getting ready to migrate to VSS2005 and I'd like to know whether it will be worth converting the 6.0d databases to the "new 8.0 format". Thanks in advance, Sergio Ora Excellent!  Thanks for the info Alin.   -Sergio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to reference a textbox via a string in code?

  I imagine that this is a rather simple task; however I do not have a particularly large depth of knowledge and experience in VB… I have an arrangement of text boxes (id1_1, id1_2, id2_1, id2_2) which I wish to be able to reference in my code from a string such that I can change the text box’s text etc. I receive the data required to construct the string from a connected serial device. What I require is a method to construct a textbox object reference from a string, something like getObjRef(string) as object Cheers Wilbo To do this requires the use of ref ...Show All

• Visual Basic ? difference between: Me, MyBase and Parent

  I don t know what the difference is between these three items: me, Mybase, parent When do we use each of them. Also is the quivalent of this in C#: Me or MyBase Gracias Amigos:) Me is a reference to the current object. Often optional to use, but helps clarify your code when accessing methods and properties with objects with similar names. MyBase is a reference to the base object: the current object may have inherited from a base object. Used when you explicitly want to access a property or method of the base class. Parent is the 'owner' or container of a control or form (Graphical controls) and is not relevant to a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System source control server events

  Hi, how can I subscribe for events like check in, before check in, pending changes and etc I saw that VersionControlServer class has very interesting events that I can use but they did not fire up for me. Basically here is what I am doing: TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(serverName); VersionControlServer vcs = (VersionControlServer) tfs.GetService( typeof (VersionControlServer)); vcs.BeforeCheckinPendingChange += OnBeforeCheckinPendingChange;   Then I keep the application running so the method can be called.

• SQL Server Pre and PostExecute Event handler called more than once

  I have a task configured on the post execute event handler of a package expecting this task to be executed only once after the completion of all the other tasks in the package. But I found the task configured on the post execute event of the package getting executed as many times as the number of tasks in the package + 1 . Is there any workaround for this problem Yes, The reason this happens is that events "bubble-up" from a container to all parent containers and are caught by any eventhandlers that exist on those parent containers. To stop this behaviour you'll need to create an eventhandle ...Show All

• Visual C# Database connection Dilema

  Hi I am working on an application with two main parts. The first part is the database I am connecting to and the second is an activeX control. I am also using SQL 2005 Express as my database server. The way I have incorperated the database into the app is by using a auto-generated dataset and table-adapter and then doing the rest of the coding myself. My app has to do a few simple queries and occationally write some information to the database. The dilema comes from the activeX control. The AX connects to a servlet. This servlet must also connect to the same database as my application, but when the servlet attempts a connection it bounces b ...Show All
