Visual C++ Can't run NMAKE from command line
All: Very new to VC++. I just installed VC++ 2005 Expresss Edition Beta 2 on a Window 2000. It was activated as instructed. From the command line I entered: nmake and it gave back: 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What should I do from here Should I set path to point the VC++ home Thanks PCZ The solution is just as you expect - the path needs to be set. Ok, I am using VC6, and assuming the solution will be the similar, if not the same; if you have a look in the bin directory, you should find VCVARS32.BAT. This batch file will set up the environment as you need to. ...Show All
.NET Development Raise / Trigger events programatically
How do I trigger an event in an object. I do not want to call the code in the event handler directly or multiple reason: 1) There may not be one 2) There may be a number of event handlers 3) My event handlers are private I want the equivalent of PerformClick but for any event. This was piece of cake in my last language but seems perversely difficuly here. It's probably a security issue, but it's hard to figure out why sending events is less secure than using Reflection methods. Is there any problem in the CLR environment with getting the object handle and using SendMessage Paul Cotter <Aside > In my last languag ...Show All

SQL Server identity_insert in SQL 2005
Hi, we're currently doing test runs to make our application run on SQL 2005. In one of our projects, we need to replicate data from one master database to several slave databases. As the primary keys need to be the same, I used the "set identity_insert <table name> on" command to insert the exact same keys in the respective identity columns. This has always worked on our SQL 2000 databases. However, in the test runs on SQL 2005, I get the following error message: "Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'NomenclatuurSleutel' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF." I cannot understand why I get this error messag ...Show All
