• SQL Server Calling Com dll object from SQL Server

  Hello All, I wonder how this can be accomplished. We have created a class lib wrapper that imports the com dll. Upon placing the assembly in sql 2005, both the wrapper Dll and the com dll (probably a converted version) gets placed inside the sql 2005 assembly store. Next a CLR sp references the 2 assemblies above, but within the call to the CLR sp things fail with exception: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI : The URI is empty The works fine from a windows forms app. What is the methodology to invoke a COM Dll How far are we from implementing this in SQL CLR Thank you, Lubomir Just an addition. The full exception is: ...Show All

• SQL Server Error with setup of SQL Server 2005 Express

  I had Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005 installed on my computer until the recent release. I followed the uninstall instructions in order, then installed the available 2005 Express editions. Each install showed an error when installing SQL Server 2005 Express. I attempted to install SQL Server 2005 from a fresh download, and it indicated that there were still beta components on the computer. I downloaded and ran the VS Beta Uninstall tool, which did find one component (SQL Server 2005 Express CTP), but it has an error while trying to uninstall it. The message is: The setup has encountered an unexpected error in datastore. The action is RestoreS ...Show All

• Visual C# program crashes when other users run...

  Ok, I created a simple program the other day with nothing complex. I have already been using it for a week or so and now another user wants to run this application. That is when the program crashes. The error I get when debugging is: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll It works normally when I (Administrator) run it but when I run it as another user (both Guest and Limited) the program crashes. I tested to see if something the priviliges were correct so i made this program 100% trust and therefore should be available to do anything, but still it comes.

• Visual FoxPro editbox control snaps.

  It is a fairly mild problem but still an inconvenience. I have an editbox and a text is assigned to it in the following manner: THISFORM.Pageframe1.Page4.Edit1.ControlSource = "(ThisForm.cData)" All other operations are done programmatically. I may force it to count the number of lines and go to a specific line and highlight it. It does. But then after a while, perhaps in about 2 minutes, it snaps to the first line (beginning of file is fact). It never fails to jump backwards. It is annoying. Why does it do it What can be done about it Thanks. Do you have any code that refreshes the editbox (or the whole form) Tha ...Show All
