Solved problem with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) in Windows 7 X64

I was trying connect to database via SQL Server Management Studio in windows 7, and got following message.

Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{6D5140C1-7436-11CE-8034-00AA006009FA}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). (Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop)

I have tried all the solutions I found in the internet:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqltools/thread/d5d3e5fc-d8ce-4f42-b7ea-9bbbb7756a20

But none of them works for me.

However, I finally got the problem solved by removing my anti-virus software AVG 9.5.
Hope this will help other people.

Update:
The same problem back again after I disable UAC, and restart computer.
I have to enable UAC again to fix it.

Update 2:
There is an easy way to fix is just to run SSMS as administrator

Silverlight Design Time Error

Siverlight User Control Design Time Detection.

 

if (!System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this))

    //Code

}

Internal Error 2235 with MSI installation

I am trying to build a simple MSI installation from Wise Installation Editor.

Build OK, test on one PC is fine, however, when I test it on another machine, I get the following error:

 

Internal Error 2235. ,RuntimeFlags, Select 'Component','RuntimeFlags','KetPath','Attributes'FROM 'Component'WHERE 'Component' =?

 

Cause:

    There is no component item at MSI component table.

 

Solution:

Add a dummy component node under component table. And build it again.

 

 

SQL Bulk copy, is much better then execute insert scripts



Copy whole table:

1. Generate insert script by loop the table rows, execute it



Simple, anyone can do it



2. SqlDataAdapter.Update(table)



Dim builder As New SqlCommandBuilder(adapter)
adapter.InsertCommand = builder.GetInsertCommand(False)



For Each tmpRow As DataRow In dtResult.Rows
tmpRow.SetAdded()
Next
adapter.Update(dtResult) 'Insert data here



3. SqlBulkCopy



Dim bCopy As New SqlBulkCopy(ConnExpress)
bCopy.DestinationTableName = tbName
bCopy.WriteToServer(dtResult)



4. SMO (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo) (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common)



ScrollBar issue with FlexGrid in Compact Framework

The scrollbar of C1FlexGrid displayed very small in VGA mode.

 

Problem: Scrollbar not resize will in VGA mode

Solution:

1. Set form draw mode to "DPI"

2. At form.load event, set grid.Size = me.Size.
