• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing several components.

  Hi, I'm a bit confused. I'd like to install 4 components of Visual Express Editions: C++, VB, Web Developer and SQL Server Now, I've just installed a C++ (SQL Server included) and was about to download a Web Developer when I saw this warning on the site: "Before installing, you must uninstall any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0" I don't get it... Should I uninstall what I've just installed If so, then how can I install all 4 components I want Just to mention (previously, there was no SQL Server, nor Visual studio nor anything of a kind on my computer) M ...Show All

• Architecture How to properly manage requirements?

  Hi guys, I'm having a bit of a hard time managing the requirements for the application I'm currently working on. I'm currently using a product called Enterprise Architect from Sparx (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/) to manage the requirements and do the general design. What I did so far was to collect and filter all requirements and categorize them. For example, there are requirements pertaining to the message list , task manager , connection manager , GUI , etc. The problem I'm currently having is twofold. First, I'm working alone on this project and I find it extremely hard to keep a clear vision of the project given the tons of requirem ...Show All

• SQL Server Large log backups

  I noticed that my log backups are very very large after doing a full backup of my databases and was confused why that was. I created 2 maintenance plans - one for full backups and DB maintenance that runs nightly - one for log backups that run at 4hr intervals For whatever reason, the first transaction log backup that is performed after the full backup of the database is as large if not larger than my full backup, while subsequant log backups are more reasonable in size. Until the next full backup is performed, that is, then the next log backup is HUGE again... Example: 05/04/2006 01:16 AM 35,801,484,800 TPRO_backup_2006050323 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Equivalent of WM_MOUSEACTIVATE?

  Hiya, Is there a WPF equivalent of WM_MOUSEACTIVATE If there is, I can't find it. I need to control whether a mouse click on an inactive Window: (a) activates the window and lets the click through, (b) just activates the window but eats the click, (c) doesn't activate the window but lets the click through, or (d) neither activates the window nor lets the click through. I cannot do the equivalent with OnPreviewMouseDown because by the time this is fired, the window has already been activated. No, there's not a WPF equivalent. It's a great suggestion for the next version, for this version you can use HwndSource to ge ...Show All

• Visual Basic Fine Tuned Settings

  Can you create a very fine tuned settings file in VB.NET 2005 Here is the senerio: I want to define a working folder. Then within that working folder, if there is a Config.Settings file, I want to be able to read in that file and then set parameters accordingly.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Connection string issue

  I have created a project which gets its data from SQLExpress and used the Add Data Source wizard and then dragged and dropped to create data bound forms and TableAdapters. All works well on my machine. Now I want to link to data on another machine on my LAN. If I manually alter the connection string created for me automatically in the Settings tab of my project and point it at another machine all works fine. However I want to be able to do this programatically as all my users wont have VBExpress running. The trouble is that the connection string in the settings tab is read only as it is application scoped. I could create a user scoped ...Show All
