• Visual Studio Team System Missing database updates when running a Web Test

  When recording my Web Test I do some actions which add some posts to my database. After the recording the updates are as expected. But then when I run my Web Test it doesn’t perform any updates at all. I also added the Web Test into a Load Test, but still it won’t do any updates. Might there be some special settings in the test tool in order to allow database updates There is nothing special you should need to do. If you submit a request that should do an update and it does not, then that is an error. Are you receiving any error messages What is the status of the page that is returned ...Show All

• .NET Development Newbie .NET question

  Hi there, I have thought of the following scenario and am wondering if somebody could clear it up for me Given two servers, one being a webserver and one being an appserver, using C# if you tried to pass a string from the webserver to an appserver what would happen As I understand it, a string, being a class, would be instantiated on the webserver and therefore be stored on the webserver heap. When the appserver tries to access this string would it just fall over or would it actually reference the heap on the webserver Or does something recognise that this information is being sent across a network and therefore clones the string ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Source / ODBC error

  Hi all, My replication of those SQL 2000 servers gave errors: Data source (11): General Network Error. Check your network documentation... and ODBC (08S01): Communication link failure. The replication was across the WAN. I don't know where to start to troubleshoot this problem. Please help! Thanks in advance. John Communication link failure means some network or communication problem between the Publisher/Distributor and Subscriber. Check the connection between them. Try connecting to the other servers from each of the servers and ensure that you are able to connect and then retry the Sync. Also note for any firewalls ...Show All

• SQL Server "The statement did not return a result set" error on SPs with exec

  I'm trying to modify our application to use the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver. After making the appropriate changes most stuff seems to work OK, except for any stored procedures that contain an exec statement and return a result set. When the stored procedure is called with executeQuery it throws a SQLServerException with the error "The statement did not return a result set". Other query SPs that don't have an exec work just fine. It doesn't matter if the exec is calling another SP, or if it's executing a constructed SQL string. Also, this worked OK with the DataDirect JDBC drivers that we used to use. I'm running this on Windows XP ...Show All

• SQL Server Select date year below 1950 not valid?

  i am doing a select statement, the .sdf database file has dates from 1910 to 2020 Dim fullcurrent_date As Date = New Date(1950, 10, 2) Dim sqlstr As String = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE Start_Month <= '" & fullcurrent_date & "'" it seems to work alright, but if i were to initialize the Date as Dim fullcurrent_date As Date = New Date(1949, 10, 2) it doesn't seem to work, is there a limit somewhere as long the year is below 1950 the select statement seems to be having problem searching for that line. Thanks That simply has to fail, here's why: 1. You have date as string in query. 2. That means DateT ...Show All

Thanks, very easy. The problem was that I always make my tables in the Diagram view. and there is no posibility to do that. Only in the table view.   So easy answer.     ...Show All

• Windows Forms Major flaw when deploying to multiple clients

  I've spent days researching this with no results. My problem is basically the same as this post ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=108636&SiteID=1 ), which did not receive any responses. This seems like fundamental problem with deploying ClickOnce apps to multiple clients. The issue is that when the app is deployed part of the deployment process will be changing the deployment URL in the app manifest to whatever that particular client will be using. This requires resigning the manifest, which requires making the certificate available to the client, which is a MAJOR problem! So the question is, how can the app b ...Show All
