• Visual Basic Cycling through textboxes

  Using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, I have got a row of textboxes named T1 up to T9, and I am  trying to find a way to cycle through them.

• Visual Studio Team System InvalidComObjectException from second test method.

  I have a test suite that used to work fine with NUnit. In the process of migrating it, more or less verbatim, to VS I am seeing a problem with InvalidComObjectExceptions being thrown in the SECOND test method (and I presume every one after that). The first test method executes just fine. The .NET classes that I am testing use COM Interop to talk to some COM objects that actually implement much of the functionality. For some reason, the run-time callable wrappers seem to disappear before the second test method gets executed. This generates InvalidComObjectExceptions when the objects are accessed. I am using the static [ClassInitialize] ...Show All

• SQL Server Should a sysadmin have local admin rights on server?

  Hi, The company I work for outsources all its non-development IT. So all windows servers are administered by an outside company. Lately we have purchased SQL Server 2005, along with a dedicated Windows Server 2003 server. I am the sole administrator of this SQL Server, and so have sysadmin rights. However because the outside company is responsible for all windows servers, they are very reluctant to grant me local administrator rights on the server. This has been causing problems, partly because I have to go through them for many simple requests (such as moving database files, or changing SQL Server configuration files), and ...Show All
