• SQL Server Sql2005 installation headaches

  I am trying to install sql 2005 on a machine that had VS2005 beat and SQL2005 CTp on it.  I have uninstalled every possible component that was in the beta release, and I still get the error, SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, see the SQL Server 2005 Readme The mentioned readmen file is usless, can someone please tell me what I have yet to uninstall to satisfy SQL   Thanks   ...Show All

• .NET Development Single DLL for 1.1 and 2.0

  Hi; We have a dll that we know runs fine under both 1.1 and 2.0. Is there a way that we can build the dll under 1.1 (Visual Studio 2003) but then mark it as ok for 2.0 also If not, then we have to build 2 dlls, one for 1.1 and one for 2.0.

• Visual C# What happen... class2 a = new class1 (); ?

  Hi: Id like what happen in PC memory when I do: a) class1 a = new class1 (); b) class2 a = new class1 (); Id like to know the difference and where there is something to read about it. Thanks   Deivich wrote: Ok. I don’t know what happen with: class2 a = new class1();  // class2 is a base class. If it were class2 b = new class2(), I understand what happen exactly. In this case, b is an object with a type of class2... a is simply a reference to an object of type class1. You told the compiler that the reference is of type class2, so you can only access that object ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MDI child windows.

  Using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express edition I "designed" Form1 with three Form2 MDI child windows. A click event of a button of Form1 is: private: System::Void Button1(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { // Tile all child forms vertically. this->LayoutMdi( MdiLayout::TileVertical ); } A click on Button1 does rearrange the windows vertically. (The windows originally are cascaded.) What should I do to get the windows tiled vertically originally (Somehow I could not do it.) Please advise (if possible via an example.) ...Show All

• .NET Development Strong naming preBuilt assemblies

  Hey all, I had a problem, where i strong named my project and then i got the error: Cannot emit assembly as referenced assembly is not strong named. My referenced assembly is created by IKVM tool compiling Java bytecode into .NET MSIL code. I have got one solution to strong name this dll: 1. Create Messages.il using ildasm Messaged.dll /out:Messages.il 2. Use the same key pair (used to strong name the project) to create back the Messages.dll: ilasm Messages.il /dll key="D:\sn.key" This worked for me, is there any better solution out there that i have missed out. Also, the relative path isn't working for me. I am usin ...Show All

• SQL Server I need a second opinion on SQL 2005 syntax

  I am not that experienced in SQL 2005 and I'm trying to debug a stored proc (written by a far more experienced programmer which is why I'm appending here.) At the top of the proc is the statement ' DECLARE @BillActualRoom bit'. If I understand correctly this is a local variable. Later in the code we have the statement 'SELECT @BillActualRoom = 0 FROM BillingOptions WHERE CenterID = @CenterID' where @CenterID is an input parameter. The table BillingOptions does have a field called 'BillActualRoom' and it is a bit. My question is this: Does this SQL statement make any sense at all (My gut reaction is no but I ...Show All

• .NET Development Concurrency Violation when updating related tables

  Specs: -------------- P3 550MHz WinXP Pro .NET 1.1 -------------- Hi there! I'm working on this application using VB.NET and Access 2002. I'm trying to avoid reading the entire database into a DataSet, so I'm using a DataReader to get records I need (it seems fast enough for now). I want to use the DataSet only to add new records. The problem is updating the database because I have related tables. The primary key used in the DataSet will not necessarily match the PK that will be assigned by the database since it might already contain other records. The following diagram shows 2 tables in the DataSet. tblParents: ID: NAME: 1 par ...Show All

• Visual C++ Manifest file when using both /MD and /MDd DLLs

  I have an application that can be built in debug (/MDd) or release mode (/MD). This application uses third-party DLLs that are built with /MD; for example the Microsoft PDH.DLL. There is no memory-mismatch issue since these third-party DLLs handle properly all memory allocations/deallocations. When I build my application in release mode (/MD), everything works. When I build it in debug mode (/MDd) and run it, I get the error dialog   "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". I was able to work-around this ...Show All

• Visual Basic Rename / Find all references

  When I try to rename an identifier (any identifier) using the refactoring option in the context menu the IDE suddenly disappears (no error /watson dialog asking me to send a report to MS, nothing, the IDE suddenly disappears). This also happens when I try to find all references of an identifier (using the context menu). The behaviour is the same for Beta 2 Std Edition and Beta 2 Express Edition. Strangely enough  I can rename a class if I rename its corresponding file (and the file's name corresponds to the class's name). I've installed Refactor! for VB to see if their Rename works, but the option never appears (I put their "Renam ...Show All
