• SQL Server What should the maintenance plans be on your mirror server?

  If your principal fails and your mirror assumes the main role and it is in Full recovery mode (which it has to be in Standard edition), then the log files will grow and grow until a transaction backup and shrink is executed. I have maintenance plans running daily (and hourly for transaction log backup/shrink) on my principal, but nothing on my mirror. Do I need to set up the same maintenance plans on my mirror server Thanks Ed Hi Ed. Database Mirroring works at the database level, not the server level (like clustering), so yes, you need to configure and run server-level jobs, data, etc. on your ...Show All

• SQL Server Xcopy deployment does not work, cannot create a proper MDF file.

  I am trying to create a process where I create an empty MDF file and install it on another computer or copy it to another location. I am having a number of problems so far with creating, moving and opening the MDF file. I was not able to create an MDF file until I set the security on the folder with full access to everyone, and I set the User Instance = false. I can now create an MDF file after setting 'User Instance' to false but now I cannot move the file using database Xcopy deployment. I think you need to create the file with 'User Instance=true' to enable xcopy. I used the following conn ...Show All

• Windows Forms Center text vertically

  I have a user control in which I need to center a single line of text vertically. So far I have a textbox in the panel. The dock property is set to fill. However, the single line of text always displays at the top. How do I get it to be centered vertically When it is not set to multi-line, the text box only takes up one line of space. When it is set to multi-line, the text is displayed at the top of the box. Edit: As it turns out, it might be better to use a label. How would I get a label's text to be centered vertically and horizontally in a panel. When I set the Dock property to Fill, it doesn't change it size past what is needed ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Report to Excel

  How can i send a report directly to a worksheet of Excel Do you mean convert an FRX to XLS You need a tool like FRX2Any http://www.frx2any.com/ or you can write a program yourself to avoid the FRX and just pass and format the data using COM automation. The faster way (within Excel row limits) is to copy to Excel, or copy to an intermediate format like CSV or old FOX2 if you have an older driver, then open in Excel using COM Automation and format/save the XLS file. To do COM Automation you instantiate Excel with: oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") now you have complete access to the Excel Document Object Model (D ...Show All

• Smart Device Development File I/O

  I'm trying to use file I/O functions to log debugging statements that I can view on the handheld. The code I got from msdn seems to do the trick except when I open the file on the handheld, PocketWord only displays the first character I write to the file. If I copy the file to the desktop, everything I wrote to the file appears as it should. My code for all of my file I/O is as follows: BOOL LogStartup ( void ) { HANDLE file; TCHAR szFileName [MAX_PATH]; memset (szFileName, 0, MAX_PATH * 2); wcscpy (szFileName, TEXT ( "\\folder\\logfile.txt" )); file = CreateFile (szFileName, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_ ...Show All
