• Visual C# Timeout expired in SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery (insert) for SQL Server 2005

  Hi, I am upgrading from VS2000 & SQL Server 2000 to VS2005 & SQL Server 2005. One of my massive programs has an exception after a lot of inserts to a certain table during insert via SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. trace: at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Menus not fading in/out in VS2005 / .NET 2.0

  Hello, I'm using VS2005 Pro July CTP with the .NET Framework 2.0 that ships with it. Things are generally working well but I have noticed that I am not able to get the fade-in, fade-out style/animation on my menus... including menus from a MenuStrip as well as context menus. Of course, the feature is enabled at the OS level, and all other menus fade in appropriately (including Office 2003). Is there some default option that I am overlooking, or is there a known issue with this I have tried experimenting with the RenderMode option, but still can't get the fading. I appreciate the help, --Mike I filed a bug: ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do I create an embedded cursor?

  I created a .cur file.  How do I embed it into the exe file so I can create a Cursor object. (e.g.  mycursor = gcnew Cursor(GetType(), "MyCursor.Cur");  Thanks, kenny. Hi, I can't seem to find a better way... Sorry... BTW, there's a new syntax on accessing .resx files: ResXResourceReader^ reader = gcnew ResXResourceReader("Form1.resx"); IDictionaryEnumerator^ loop = reader->GetEnumerator(); while (loop->MoveNext()) {    DictionaryEntry^ id = safe_cast<DictionaryEntry^>(loop->Current);    if (safe_cast<String^>(id->Key) == "mycur") {   ...Show All

  Hi, Can I give my employees access to the company msdn subscription but using different login name and password for each one Or I only can have one login name and password Thanks. This post is interesting, though I'm in the opposite situation. I'm the employee.

• Windows Forms Control placement when Inheriting forms BUG??

  Ok I found something really mind blowing. If you build a form and put some basic controls (basically building a template) and then compile it to a DLL. You then reference it in your project and use it as a template (you inherit the form in the dll).  Now if you were to view the windows designer code (which tells you not to change it)&nbs ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. using Microsoft.Samples.DirectX.UtilityToolkit

  I just started working again on a game I had been writing and abandoned for quite a while. I have managed to get it working with the latest release of the SDK but now I have run into a problem trying to add a new UI. Im am trying to add some of the the controls from the customUI tutorial that came with the SDK . I added "using Microsoft.Samples.DirectX.UtilityToolkit;" to my code but of course the compiler didn't reconize Microsoft.Samples... After some googling I realized I had to include the files from "Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (October 2005)\Samples\Managed\Common" in my project. the problem is when I do this and try to compile I ge ...Show All

• .NET Development Unexpected program closure

  I am working on a large application written in VB.Net 2003. Sometimes the application just closes for no reason, without any warning or error messages. The application does not go through the standard closedown code - it's as if execution just stops. Does anyone know of any circumstances where this could happen, i.e. possibly framework bugs Or point me in the direction of debugging help! Thanks! Mark Are you sure no shutdown code is running There are at least 2 ways this can happen: 1. Something forcibly + rudely closes it (eg, TaskMan : EndProcess)  2. when an unmanaged thread has an 2nd-chance stack-o ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling a WebReference operation name the same as the Web service name

  In the WSDL below, the Web Service is "CalcService" and it contains an operation also called "CalcService". When adding a WebReference to this WSDL, the proxy generated (CalcService class) contains a "CallCalcService" method for the "CalcService" operation - persumeably because a method "CalcService" would be mistaken for a constructor. Calling the "CallCalcService" method tries to invoke a "CallCalcService" operation on the Web Service, which doesn't exist. Calling the other methods on the proxy work fine. Looking at the code with Reflector, the method passes the "CalcService" method name to SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(), ...Show All

• Visual Basic Updating underlying table

  I have a form based on a BindingSource. The text controls' Data Source Update Mode are set to OnPropertyChanged. The FormClosing method (I almost said "event") has the line Me.nameBindingSource.EndEdit() Changes to the data in the fields on the form are not saved when the form is closed. How can I do this The BindingSource object allows binding and navigation of the underlying data.  There should also be an associated TableAdapter object.  You need to call the Update() method of the TableAdapter and pass it the updated data.
