gah, I feel so dumb ;)I never even thought of that ;)

Does anyone know how to do this? I'm trying to make a source code editing program and I would like intellisence/autocomplete intregrated into it. I have looked at the shell extensions example here and it will only work with the first word you type. The .net 2.0 Express beta only had auto complete for single lines (and only the first letter as well). I just had an idea to put the currently typed(ing) word into a buffer and use autocomplete on that. Can anyone think of a better way?

Well I figured it out after a while, auto complete only works with single line edit boxes

I have that but the problem is it's not in it yet... or if it is I haven't found it...

it has all the *funtionality* but not the tools ;) (oh and 1 gig ram usage is the other limitation)

I open up query analyzer and click the drop down up top to choose my db and then copy and paste the sql file into it and click the run button...

that's the problem ;) the express version of 2005 doesn't have enterprise manager, it has a community built one that doesn't have much funtionality right now. The higher versions of 2005 are suppose to have this but not express (express is the msde of 2005)

Does anyone know how to transfer an entire database out of mssql server 2005 (express) into a .sql file so I can recreate it? I have looked though the TSQL commands on msdn and tried bcp (unless I'm missing somthing that will only do tables and I need the stored procedures as well) The reason for this is I want to export the data and put it into a ms sql 2000 database but dts won't work because the database is so different (neither will the sp_attach_db stored procedure (gives an error about indexes)

I am trying to use the new AutoComplete in the the .net framework 2.0 beta and I can't seem to get it to work, I have read the help files on it (man this beta documentation is almost just an ndoc output ;)) but I couldn't find any reason why it wouldn't work. I set a customCollection of words to match and set the auto complete collection to custom and set the auto complete mode to suggest and append but when I type in the text box nothing pops up. Anyone got any ideas?

not really ;) Is the dir that you uploaded your project into declared as a virtual app dir in IIS? this may also be a problem. If not get your webhost to make the dir with your asp.net app in it a virtual app dir and see if that helps.

I have a mail sending script setup to send e-mail (using the Net.Web.Mail class) with extra stuff for authentication message.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate"] = 1; message.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername"] = "user@domain.com"; message.Fields["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword"] = "***" it sends mail fine and Outlook can read the special characters but the problem comes with the free email sites reading the email I get funny characters in the mail. I have tried sending html mail and using the charset"" string and making an encoding-type-transfer "quoted-printable" but neither seem to work. Is there some special way that the free email accounts read the email? Some setting I have to set?

there is also http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/[^] and http://www.vgcats.com/[^] and for a bit older crowd (no nudity just mature subject matter) http://www.leasticoulddo.com/[^]

I would like to try to make a sort of "control panel" for web hosting and am looking for information on it. In particular how I would go about making virtual app dirs and dns entries and stuff like that. The reason is because I'm cheap and I have the time so I thought I would try to make my own ;)

dammit I knew it was somthing simple like that ;) thanks

I read in a chunk of a file in bytes, converted it to ascii, made it a string and now I am trying to clear out the '\0' characters. Any advice?

hell google.com for me (who is in Germany) but using the english search engine (not google.de) still shows it's valentines day... hmm did someone have too good of a night last night and not get to change it yet? Gotta get his secret and use it next year ;)

ok I thought that's what it was but I got sidetracked on another project and never had time for it untill today (what good timing huh ;)) I am trying to do the backup command you showed me and I am delaring them like this SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk','localBackup','C:\\temp\\database.dat'",sqlConnection1); SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand("BACKUP DATABASE databaseName TO localBackup",sqlConnection1); I am calling them from within this try block try { cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery(); //sqlBackup.Commit(); tbError.Text = "Finished"; } and running them as non queries (I tried them as transactions but it gave me this error "The procedure 'sp_addumpdevice' cannot be executed within a transaction") so I took them out and make them queries and now I get a problem with the Execute command saying I need a transaction property. "Execute requires the command to have a transaction object when the connection assigned to the command is in a pending local transaction. The Transaction property of the command has not been initialized." Now I am really confused :(

I am trying to use the smtp server of my webhost which I have to log on to to send email. I have to use CDOSYS to do it with. I was wondering if there is any ".net" way to do this.

I keep getting an error about an "Unrecognized escape sequence" this is the line SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk','databasedump','C:\temp\database.dat") What am I doing wrong?

thanks :) so I run this as a nonquery?
