June 01 .NET application cannot connect to a remote SQL Server 2008?Having some problems connecting .NET Windows application or Web application to a remote SQL Server 2008 on a Windows Server 2008?
Here are some troubleshooting guides:
Cannot install Hyper-V Integration Services?First, check the Device Manager of the Hyper-V virtual machine.
Is there any warning or problems with the Virtual Machine Bus?
Basically, the HAL detection when Integration Services Installed is not working properly So here are the steps to resolve it.
1) run msconfig
2) go into Advanced Boot options
3.) Click Detect HAL
4) Reboot
Check the Device Manager again. The Virtual Machine Bus device should be resolved.
Finally, install the Hyper-V Integration Services. Install Loopback Adapter in Windows 7Are you having problem adding a Loopback Adapter in Windows 7?
The "Add a device" can't find any suitable hardware?
1) Type "hdwwiz.exe" in the Run command.
2) Click Next.
3) Then select the "Advanced" option.
4) Select "Network Adapter".
5) Choose "Microsoft" and "Microsoft Loopback Adapter"
And you have just installed the adapter. Cannot ping a Windows Server 2008?If you are unable to ping a freshly built Windows Server 2008, though you confirmed the IP address of the server.
The reason is because by default, the Windows Server 2008 Firewall is configured to disallow the "File and Printer Sharing" feature.
Hence, this blocks the ICMP Echo Request packets used by the PING command.
Enabling the "File and Printer Sharing" in the Windows Server 2008 Firewall, will enable you to ping the server from remote machines.
May 17 Changing the location of OST file - Outlook 2007Recently, I received a new replacement laptop from Dell (Latitude D620 to Latitude E6400).
So this time, I was setting up dual boot with Windows 2008 R2 RC and Windows 7 RC (both are x64 OS).
And I wanted to have a localised OST file to be shared between the two OS. You can easily do that with PST files, but OST file is a bit tricky.
OST file is basically a local Offline Folders file (.ost) when you work offline with Outlook or use Cached Exchange Mode with Microsoft Exchange Server.
The offline folder file has an .ost extension.

Button btnNext = (Button)Wizard1.FindControl("StartNavigationTemplateContainerID").FindControl("StartNextButton"); if (btnNext != null) { btnNext.Enabled = false; }
The above code only works for the StartNavigationTemplate.
For the StepNavigationTemplate, change the StartNavigationTemplateContainerID to StepNavigationTemplateContainerID and the StartNextButton to StepNextButton. August 24 VSTO 2005 for Visual Studio 2005Do you have missing VSTO 2005 project templates in Visual Studio 2005?
I realized that I had missing VSTO Excel Workbook as well as VSTO Excel Template project when I need to build it for Excel 2003.
So I download the latest VSTO 2005 SE from MSDN and install it.
What I get is only the new VSTO Excel Add-In project templates by installing the VSTO 2005 SE.
I am still missing the VSTO Excel Workbook and VSTO Excel Template project templates.
So I went search around and found the solution!!!
Close the Visual Studio, if you have it opened.
Open a new Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt.
Type devenv /installvstemplates
Press the Enter key and wait for the templates installation.
