I received a copy of VB.NET 2003 standard from Microsoft as part of a
promotion by viewing ASP.NET webcasts. Included was an ASP training CD and
"ASP.NET Programming with Visual Basic.NET" by G. Andrew Duthie.
From all I can tell it is a full *standard* version.... not something
gimped. Yet when I try creating a data connection and point it to SQL Server
a message comes back telling me that it is ".....unabl e to connect and that
this version of Visual Studio can only use the SQL Server Desktop Edition and
MS Access as data sources....".
What?!?!?!!?
They sent me this copy with training materials that are using full SQL
Server databases, not desktop editions. So I cant use the software they
provide to actually *do* the exercises?
Perhaps this is a bug? Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Can anyone help
me out?
As a side note, I reveiwed the VB.Net 2003 product page and looked at their
comparison between the standard and professional versions and nowhere can I
find it saying that you can only connect to SQL Server DE and MS Access with
the standard edition. In fact it is even misleading because it says you can
upgrade old vb apps with the standard edition.... what they should have said
is that you can upgrade old database apps as long as they use SQL Server DE
or MS Access as a datasource!
Any help, advice, clarification and direction would be greatly appreciated!!

When running my asp.net hosting service (asp.net without IIS), on server

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
