Can someone please break down a simple statement for a relative newbie? Thread firstThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1)); In other words, what is happening at each stage here: new ThreadStart (Method1) new Thread (new ThreadStart (Method1)) Thread firstThread = new Thread (new...

hmckillop: Please pardon what I'm sure is a stupid question, but I'm a newbie stumbling around in the dark: Are these SQL queries or VB snippets? If it's VB, do you know where I can find this in C#?

Could someone please give me the simplest possible C# code snippets / SQL queries to determine whether: * a given SQL database exists, * a given existing SQL database is accessible, and * a given table exists within a given existing SQL database? Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide.

markros: >I suspect the database got somehow detached and you had to >attach it again. Sounds plausible. How do I do that?

I've been working with SQL2008 AdventureWorks; specifically database AdventureWorks, table Person.Contact. I experimented with using a DataGrid control's DataSource property to add a new project data source to the DataGrid, although my code was written to access the database without using a...

I need some help with BindingSources (in C#). This is what I'm working on: From the C# tutorial at Programmer's Heaven (http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/Les_CSharp_13_p9): private void btnLoadData_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { string connectionString = "server=P-III...

I've tried, but I haven''t been able to find the namespace containing the dgDetails class for the DataGridView control. Can anybody tell me where it is? BTW, this is for C#.

Thanks everybody, problem solved. It turns out that although I had been told to save stored procedures via Ctrl-F5, it's actually F5. Again, thanks to all.

That's EXACTLY what I'm doing. When I try to create a stored procedure again, SSMS says it's already in the database. When I load it into a query window and run it, it runs. When I try to run it from another query window or from an app, it can't be found. When I look for it in the Stored...

I saved a few stored procedures in SQL Server Management Studio. The default Save location, which I accepted, was C:\Documents and Settings\BobLewiston\My Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Projects. (And yes, each stored procedure was in the form of an .sql file, and I assigned each file...

I've written a few SQL stored procedures in a text editor. But how do I actually "store" them in (add them to?) a database using SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express? I've tried to research this topic in Management Studio's onboard Help, but apparently Help assumes I know more about the...

mrdenny: I disabled the setting which prevents SSMS from making changes. I actually had to do this for column PasswordSalt as well as column PasswordHash. It works! Thanks a lot.

mrdenny: Thanks, I'll try it. As I had said: As I had said: I'm not saying I disagree with you that I can throw any valid string in there, I just don't understand what this column is really for. As I had said: So for whatever reason, it WON'T allow me to put ANY value in there. I will...

Some of you may have seen my earlier thread “PasswordHash NULL problem”. I’ve started a new thread because investigation has shown that the problem is actually quite different than I previously stated. Also please note that this is unrelated to another of my previous threads, “dataAdapter.Update...
