It sounds like your job :) You can try use: Marshal.FreeHGlobal() , but somehow i dont think that will cut it. Best approach would be to store the returned pointer, then do a manual marshall to with PtrToStructure, then use the above method to free it. Good luck :) leppie::AllocCPArticle("Zee blog"); Seen on my Campus BBS: Linux is free...coz no-one wants to pay for it.

Hi! Are you using the professional edition of VS .NET? The professional versions Server Explorer can only connect and work with MSDE 2000 Databases. If you want to modify SQL Server 2000 Databases you have to use VS .NET Enterprise or whatever it is called.

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately, I've already tried using the sa account etc and still had the same problems. It's really weird. Almost like a different driver is being used to access the database on that server as opposed to databases on other servers. The reason I say this is that if I connect to a database that VS will allow me to edit/add etc etc and the server is MSDE 2000 I get the following folders underneath the database connection: Database Diagrams, Tables, Views, Stored Procedures, Functions. Yet, under the SQL 2000 database connection, I'm only seeing Tables, Views and Stored Procedures. No Database Diagrams and no Functions. Odd. Any thoughts?

Nice. I heard of an upgraded version that will make coffee using only the heat of an Athlon processor. :-D My latest article: GBVB - Converting VB.NET code to C#

That depends. There's no real risk of data loss. Subversion has been self hosted for a very long time, which speaks volumes towards it's stability in this regard. Many people are using it already in production and non-production environments, and there's been no reports of data loss. What would prevent me from using it in production environments is only that the alpha status indicates heavy development, which means a high likelyhood of having to deal with frequent upgrades and/or conversions, which is a time constraint more than anything else.

I remember that, too. It was on a TV news show or something. They showed some fun clips of people staring at a spinning Pepsi can, trying to figure out how it stayed up, then eventually realizing that the can wasn't really there. :D "Yeah, and I invented the spellchecker" - fellow inventor Dan Quayle on hearing that Al Gore invented the Internet.
