• SQL Server Cannot Install SQL Server 2005 [SOLVED]

  I'm trying to install the final releases of Visual Studio 2005 Pro and SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition. Unfortunately, I uninstalled VS Apr CTP "first"  INSTEAD OF SQL Server 2005 Apr CTP. I was then able to install the final release of VS 2005 without any problems but now I cannot install the SQL Server 2005 because it finds the beta components that must be uninstalled before proceeding. I tried using "Add/Remove Programs" but when I ...Show All

• Visual C++ Inherited nested class bug

  /* Inherited nested class bug class B inherits from A::Nested and defines a class named Nested itself. So B is a composition of : B::A::Nested B::Nested class D should be a composition of : A::Nested B::Nested The enclosing class should behave like a scope for nested classes and its name can be used to discriminate between equal named objects from different scopes.

• .NET Development How to use Type.GetType(string)? Doesnt seem to work.

  I'm trying to write a function to genericly return a new instances of a Windows form control based on its typename. It would seem that I should be able to do something like. Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.Label")) to accomplish this. I can make Type.GetType work for simple types such as "System.Int32" or "System.String" but it does not work when I ask for a label or textbox. Obviously I'm not getting the typename rig ...Show All

  Hi, I dont know if someone already answered this question but, how come c#'s version of xlinq (, or c#3.0, or c# orcas, or whatever it's called now) does not include xml literals! I cant imagine a reason not to include thins functionality beyond being too hard to do in c# or something like than.
