• SQL Server Error in SQL Server Management Studio Express when Attach DB

  Hello When I try to attach a Database in SSMSEE, I always receive the same error. After clicking on the "ADD"-Button in the "Attach Databases"-Window, the following error occurs: TITLE: Locate Database Files - ORION\SQLEXPRESS ------------------------------ C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA Cannot access the specified path or file on the server.

• Visual Studio Express Editions ActiveForm question

  Ok, I know that the ActiveForm object returns the, well, active form. But what about the active form's controls I can't access those because they don't appear as one of the ActiveForm's objects, and when I try to compile like that it says that the property doesn't exist. So how can I access the controls of the active form Please help! The ActiveForm property returns a Form reference because it can be any type of form.  You need to cast that reference to the appropriate type to be able to access the members of that type.  If the ActiveForm may be any of several types then you're going to need to test what type it ...Show All

• Visual C++ Need to use DIA SDK 7.1 to get local variable names from PDB files

  Anyone have any experience, or ideally, code samples to query a PDB file for local variable names We can get the method's IDiaSymbol via the metadata token, but the symbols contained by that IDiaSymbol don't have documented interfaces for variables. We do see some data-type symbols that have strings that corresponds to variable names, but we're shooting in the dark regarding slot numbers, liveness ranges, and associated goodies. I'd love to move to the next release of the DIA SDK, which presents all this as API calls, but I am not able to do so due to other release constraints. Are there any examples of doing this type of work usin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Maximum Zoom

  I am using .NET 2.0 and C#. The app I am working on allows the user to zoom an image.  I do this by re-sizing the PictureBox the image is in.  This works fine, along with the scroll bars on the UserControl the PictureBox is in. The problem is that depending on the size of the image there is a zoom level above which the app raises exceptions in Main(). (Presumably due to not enough memory but the exceptions are generic) Ex: zoom 12MB tiff to 750% on machine with 2GB RAM and it breaks.  For a 23KB jpeg it doesn't break until 5000%.  Our users may have images as large as 50 MB, so this is a concern. How can I deal with ...Show All

• SQL Server Another SSIS Package Validation Question

  We are going to be running a package repeatedly 24/7. The same package against the same data store, filtered using a "stageFlag" so as not to read rows previously processed. We have various timing statistics and have yet to fine tune; but on the surface it appears that it takes approximately three minutes to validate and another three minutes to run. If we have no additional data on the second run it still takes three minutes to complete - to do nothing but skip rows already processed. Is it possible to set this up to run repeatedly without the validation on each iteration Any ideas as to how this would be accomplished would ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suggestion: add rule/warning for use of weak security algorithms?

  It might be worth adding a rule which checks for the System.Security.Cryptography namespace use of MD5 and weaker, and maybe SHA1 hashes (HashAlgorithm), and DES, TripleDES and weaker encryption (SymmetricAlgorithm), with a recommendation to use SHA256, or higher, and Rijndael [AES] instead. See the following article, which apparently reports on Microsoft internal guidelines.    http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1859751,00.asp Of course, this rule would be best for new systems, where you get to choose the encryption level. The doco should have a clear exclusion point -- where you need to interoperate with a ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying with sql server express

  I have developed a windows mobile 5.0 application that is currently syncing with sql server 2005. I want to deploy the application with sql server express for the client. What do I need to do to make this work Thank you. It depends on how you're syncing. If you're using manual implementation via SQL Client on device, that would work with properly configured SQL 2005 Express as well. If you using SQL Mobile RDA or replication, you would have to implement manual sync using SQL Client as Express offers no RDA/Replication support. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Interop Problem with COM IDataObject and TOM Paste

  I have been trying to access the text object model (TOM) using the RichEdit control in NET. So far I have successfully implemented most methods of the ITextDocument and ITextRange interfaces. I am now trying to implement the Paste method of the ITextRange interface which is defined as follows: STDMETHODIMP Paste(VARIANT *pVar, long Format); Where pVar is a pointer to the IDataObject to paste, but the contents of the clipboard are used if any of the following are true: pVar is null pVar punkVal is null pVar is not VT_UNKNOWN pVar punkVal does not return an IDataObject when queried for one I’ve translated this in my ITextRange in VB.Net as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web test relative paths

  With unit tests I can use relative paths (even go so far as to adding them to the config file) Can I do something simular with webtests Since a web test is simply an XML file I assume I could open the web test and edit it, but would like to hear if there is an easier way.   Thanks, TomK Sorry about the poor documentation. (It made sense to me, I knew what I wanted) My web test is data driven. With Unit tests if they are data driven it is easy to change the data source to be relative. It appears that if I edit the web test file I can make it relative fairly easily, but I want to know if there is a sugges ...Show All

• Smart Device Development UserControl in .Net Compact Framework v1.1

  All who can help, i'm making a small .net application for a windows Ce .NET device, but i was wondering, is there any change to make a custom control or use usercontrol and add them at design time to one of my forms   So 2 questions: 1. Usercontrols are not supported in v1.1, do they in v2.0 If not can i use something else The reason i ask is that, i wrote an multi-panel application (One form which is always updating his panels (with usercontrols), depending on what data was received). But if i can't use usercontrols i'm in big trouble... 2. I made a custom button which add's an image to it, but can i add this custom control to the to ...Show All
