Hi,
Is there any way which I can get Visual Studio 2008 with Sql Server Express edition? I need the new features like WPF, WCF, Ajax and Silver Light also. I need to install this in my home for learning purpose only.
Eventhough I installed from microsoft site, I have to install each langauage piece by piece,ie, Visual C# , then web applications, windows applications, visual web developer etc, but not sql server.
Is anybody provide any site that gets the full version which installs all the above at one shot?
This site will give the full downloads, but only for 30 days. So after 30 days, we need to register. Does it mean that we need to pay for it? Will it include SQL Server ( which contains Sample database like AdventureWorks) also?
Please provide any suggestions.
Thanks,

SQL Server 2008 Express Edition[^]
The Express editions are free, forever. They just want you to register so they can bother you with rubbish.I don't speak Idiot - please talk slowly and clearly

Thanks a lot Andy. Since this is free, they are bothering with those rubbishes.
That is fine with me. Atleast I can learn something. So that is good.
Thanks anyway. Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.

The only real issue you run into is that many of the Microsoft sample solutions come with a unit tests project in MSTest format. This is not supported in the Express editions. However, it is very straightforward to replicate such projects using NUnit or whatever, just find and replace all the test attributes with the appropriate ones for NUnit and they work OK. Or, of course, you can just ignore the unit test projects.
It's good that Visual Web Dev Express supports both Silverlight and ASP.NET MVC. They could have chosen not to support them. Kevin

You do not need to pay for any of these products; I have been using them for 3 or 4 years and find them excellent for all forms of development and learning. MVP 2010 - are they mad?

Hi,
I would like to know how to create a custom control in which I have one trackbar but with two thumbs (sliders) one at extreme left and one at extreme right.
How tough it will be ?
Will I have to write it from scratch or I can modify the existing trackbar to implement this ?
Thanks in advance

From scratch would probably be faster. Two small Panels that you can (horizontally) position with the mouse?I are Troll

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.. I was looking for something like this:

As a programmer, I see a control with two little controls on it. The little controls can slide.
As an end-user, I'd say it would be confusing. What's the current setting? Is it set to the minimum, the maximum or both?I are Troll
|
|
|
|
|
yeah...
It will be used to scroll through a graph.. the left slider will be set to min and the right slider to the max by default.
User can slide either controls so select a range.. in graph.. lets say the min year he sets to 2005 and max year he sets to 2009. so he can generate graph for data inbetween these years

The biggest improvement you can make is to not use VB.
There are plenty of profilers, like ANTS[^] I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

Unable to cast COM object of type 'ESchRCW.eSchReadClass' to interface type 'ESchRCW._eSchRead'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{C8DD174B-A1C9-40AC-990C-91E62D7FAD12}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL.

This RCW, .net code and the corresponding code is working in local, DEVWEB, QAWEB, except the UATWEB region (as of now). I think may be there is a problem in UATWEB region. I checked the Frameworks and service packs and all are same, except the hardware is windows server 2003 standard edition in DEVWEB,QA, but UATWB it is windows 2003 standard edition. I hope it got nothing to do with this problem. I even cleared the all entries of this com+ component and it's guids from registry and re added the COM+ component to the COM+, but the result is same. I checked even in even logs, but no information on it. I am giving more information below, hopefully it will help .net experts to understand my problem and help me.

Hi
Since I am going to work on .NET after a long time, I want to know whether I should go for VS 2005 or 2003?Are current XP and Windows 2003 machines supporting .NET frame work > 1.x ?
Thanks

Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 are the latest versions, with 2010 and .NET 4.0 hot on their heels. You should be looking to those versions in order to get up to date with current technology. MVP 2010 - are they mad?

What about backward compatibility? How many people would be using new framework on XP machines?

Where have you been?
Use .Net 3.5 with VS 2008.
If you are looking at a long term project then 4.0 beta might also be an option.Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

Don't consider 1.0/1.1, the functionality is limited and the bugs are plentiful.
Use at least 2.0
All Visual Studio versions since VS2003 can target 2.0
The current version is 3.5, supported by VS2008, which also targets 2.0 and 3.0
so there is no reason to use any older Studio version.
Finally 4.0 (and VS2010) are almost there, but the quality of VS2010 may still be unclear.
All versions of .NET can coexist on a machine, XP or other.
A machine with only 1.0/1.1 on it would be a curiosity, that can easily be updated to have at least also 2.0

Nice article, Luc.
But it would be nice to have a list of Windows versions with the version of .Net supported natively. Although we can redistribute the runtime with applications to update the user's OS, it might be desirable to avoid that step by simply targeting an app to a specific version. IIRC, WinXP originally supported .Net 2.0, but SP3 added .Net 3.0. For my purposes, I'd select 3.0 for development, on the assumption that most of my users (people at work) have SP3 installed, and won't want to install 3.5."A Journey of a Thousand Rest Stops Begins with a Single Movement"

Hi Roger,
I understand it would be nice to add an (OS, .NET) table somehow, however I don't think I can do that, as I don't have such information; and I think the set of pre-installed .NET versions depends on many things, not just the OS version and the service pack level, but also what computer vendors decide to add.
