• Visual C# VS 2005 RAM Requirement

  VS 2005 is great, but I wonder if upgrading my 1.5MHz notebook from 512Mb RAM to 1024 would make a noticible difference in speed. Currently it is sometimes sluggish. (Talking about the IDE itself, not compiled programs.) You will only notice diffence if your current RAM is full most of the time. You can check this in the Task Manager at the Perfomance tab. But a little bit extra RAM doesn't harm your laptop, you ...Show All

• SQL Server Using a parameter for the "IN" clause

  All, Having some trouble with getting the "IN" statement to return results from a stored procedure. I want to pass in a string of values, such as ('999999', '111111'), to my stored procedure and use it in a select statement. The SP looks something like this... @someNumbers [varchar](1200) SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE someNumber IN (@someNumbers) This doesn't return any data. How do I define something like this in the stored proc Thanks Mike ...Show All

• .NET Development WMI - Monitoring Drive Insertion/Removal

• .NET Development Assembly Security - Where to start?

  I am currently building an application and I want to secure my Dlls so that only assemblies built by myself can use them. I have looked briefly at the permissions option but it appears that I would have to set permissions for each class within each dll. Is there a quick and easier way to do this at assembly level Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Mark There is no foolproff way of doing wh ...Show All

• Visual Basic Blocking Pop ups when auto-delegating tasks in Outlook

  I've noticed at work that when a manager tries to delegate a task, a msg box pops up saying something like "someone is attempting to access your account...how long do you want to allow, etc." Well, I have a macro that managers will run that will automatically delegate a lot of tasks to a lot of individuals and I want to get it done with no extraneous user input. Meaning, if John is delegating a task to Mary, then Mary should not have to do an ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting Passwords In Connections Using Script Task

  I have a situation where I have to read an encrypted password from a table and set the password and userID for the connections. I wrote functions to retrieve the data from a table, decrypt the password and UserID, and set the connection string for the connection. What happens, though, is that the connection string I wrote to the connection gets changed when reading it back so that the password is no longer included. Also, in testing the connecti ...Show All

• SQL Server Customizing Report Manager

  As I recall, in RS2000 there was no way to customize the appearance of Report Manager. I see that RS2005 has stylesheets which permit some customization of the appearance (maybe these were available in RS2000 also, but I never looked for them), but it appears that the source code for the web pages is still not provided. Is that the case, or is it possible to obtain the source code for Report Manager so that more extensive page customizations can ...Show All
