Re: Raising property changed events

I was going to use this an opportunity to vent about the msdn documentation and then discovered that the page on this particular method is better than what I usually get on msdn docs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getexecutingassembly.aspx Assembly.GetExecutin

Imo. This has been the problem with msdn since the inception of .net. The last usable msdn was '98. Where you could find examples on all methods with related BUG: documents linked. The xml autodoc and java suffer from the same problem, the developers are there to write code and not provide exa

RE: Raising property changed events

If you come across pages where you think the docs need improvement, please use the Rating box in the top right. Given that there's something like 200,000+ pages on MSDN, the UE (doc guys) combine that with page views to focus on low rated, high viewed pages first. From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotne

RE: Raising property changed events

David, I think that Stephen's original rant was not that this was one example of a page documentation needing improvement, but that the entire style of the documentation is so minimal as to be close to useless. Unless I'm getting to the wrong bits, very little of the documentation I reach i

Re: Raising property changed events

Agree 100% with Stephen comments. For the amount of money and resources Microsoft must put into MSDN it is crazy that you get better, more useable results using a search engine written by their competitor, which often points to other sites like StackOverflow or ExpertsExchange rather than MSDN. MS

[OT] SQL Server 2005 Database Update Script to Create a table if the Database exists and the Table is missing

Hi All I realise this is a .NET forum but I'm sure we all deal with databases at some stage. Part of this is creating update scripts for the databases in our applications. If you know of a different group I should post my question to, please let me know. My scenario is as follows: - My softwa

Assuming around 200 people on the list, if we each take 1000 pages we should be able to tag them all with a "please provide examples" I get what you are saying we can post on the pages asking for improvement. Doesn't help you at that moment. It does show that documentation wasn't a priority. Someo

Try replacing your Create Table statement with the following. DECLARE @SQLString NVARCHAR(MAX) SET @SQLString = ' CREATE TABLE [MyTestDatabase].[dbo].[MyTestTable] ( Id INT IDENTITY(1,1), TestColumn VARCHAR(200),

Hi Greg L and others, I've spent many hours over the last couple of days trying to get SQL Server 2008 R2 Windows Authentication working over the LAN, with absolutely no success. I'm not experienced in this area, but I've tried every sensible trick I can think and nothing makes any difference.

Hi Anthony Thanks. Just wondering though if this is a "known issue" in SQL server with this (sp_executesql) being the known workaround? On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 1:55 PM, Anthony Tjea wrote: > And to resolve your other issues try the following. > > > > IF db_id('MyTestDatabase') IS NULL > > BEGIN

RE: [OT] SQL Server 2005 Database Update Script to Create a table if the Database exists and the Table is missing

Hi Conrad, SQL Server attempts to parse, compile and optimise your SQL statement before actually executing the statement . It is during the compilation step that your SQL statement fails (it does not follow the iterative logic of your IF blocks). Hence it detects that there is a problem becaus

First of all, I understand your points. I also get a little frustrated by documentation in certain areas of the product (VS Extensibility docs are frustrating me at the moment) - one of the reasons that I add Community comments to the bottom of the page when I see something missing. However, de

Did you logoff and log back on? The groups in your security token are populated when you logon. Reboots and re-logins have no effect. I can assign an old group (containing me) to a folder and it gives me permissions immediately as you'd expect. If I do the same with a new group there is no eff

Can you run: whoami /groups from a command line. That will give you a list of all the groups that is in your current security token. Compare that to the icacls list that Jorke's command gives. Also, have you changed any UAC settings on your machine? Cheers Ken From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet

Folks, I have determined that my Win7 workstation is "blind" to domain group changes on the DC. If I create a group, or change the membership of a group on the DC, then these changes are never seen on the workstation. As an experiment, I moved my workstation back to WORKGROUP and then rejoined
