• SQL Server Query Designer in SQL 2005 Mgmt Studio a let-down?

  Greetings, all. Thanks for all of the great postings in this community. However, one question I have doesn't seem to have been addressed. In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, a user could right-click on a table, and choose Open Table>>Query. This option brings the user directly to a query designer very similar to the query designer available in SQL 2005 Management Studio. However, I have been frustrated by the following: - The Open Table option in SQL 2005 returns data immediately where the SQL 2000 Query option did not, meaning it opened faster and did not risk locking any records in the table - In SQL 2005 the user needs to click ...Show All

• Visual C++ window class help

  Anybody can give me a help (example, code, link) about window class In fact, my question is about how a window object can control an other window object. I believe you can use multiple forms in such case. For example:  1) Start a default win form application and add another form for it (e.g. form2)      You can do that by right clicking on "header files ->add->New Item->UI ->Windows forms   2) In the code for your original form (form1.h), add:       #include "form2.h"     3) Now you can add to the class form1 a new public form (let us say ...Show All

• Visual C# How to use Visual Studio 2005 with folder redirection?

  We have a number of developers using Visual Studio 2005 (C#) in a company where active directory/group policies is heavily used. We would like to know if there is any information on developing with VS2k5 where our My Documents folder is redirected to a UNC pathname on a server. Some of the issues we have encountered when trying this are: the default bin directory seems to always be set to be source code relative. This means we are transferring our binaries across the network. This has become a performance issue We are unable to develop command line applications. When we try to run the executable, we get an error that says you can ...Show All

• Windows Forms OpenFileDialog: limited no of files

  My application uses an openFileDialog to allow the user to select multiple files for processing. Sometimes quite a lot of files (9000+) which breaks the application. It seems that there is a limit to how many files the user can select. When this limit is exceeded, the FileNames property array does not contain all the files selected and the last filename in the array gets truncated. The truncation depends on the actual length of the names of the files selected. Is this an intended behavior and is there any way around it This is quite a painful problem and any help - especially prompt help - is much appreciated. Thanks Lars &nbs ...Show All
