I think you should take a deep breath before responding.

If you want to get pissy about being told of the conventions and expectations of this community then perhaps you should step away for a bit.

You have been given assistance on your problem, don't spoil it with such an attitude.

Thanks for the response, but the data type is a generic data type as shown form the code I originally posted.

The session object has a generic object of IEnumerable<T> type, so how would I cast back to that generic type?

Hi,

AFAIK, with previous releases of SQL Server there was a registry key named CD_KEY where the initial activation code was stored.

I did verify on our own server : this activation key is no longer stored in the registry. Now there are just ProductID, DigitalProductID and checksum keys. So I don't think it will be possible to change it without support from Microsoft. I'm not aware of any tool that could allow you to change it on the fly.

If this really is a problem for you, you should contact Microsoft's Activation Center, and explain them your issue.

I checked WMI classes, in which i found a class "SqlServer" but which allows me
only to modify certificate not productID i.e PID.

Thanks for your help.

As you are using third party components, and the code works for one type of phone but not the others, this would suggest a problem either with the library or with configuration of the library. Your best bet with such a specific query is to post this question in the support forum of the relevant libraries as their support teams will be much better placed to field such a query.

[solved] The type or namespace name 'Word' could not be found [modified]

I'm trying to create a Word automation software using C# over Visual Studio 2010.

I created a new project and added references to "Microsoft Office Object Library 11.0" and "Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library".

For unapparent reason I get error "error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Word' could not be found" on the bold line

using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Word.Application objWord; // error CS0246 here
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document objDoc; // no error here
    }
}

C# doesn't like partial namespaces being prefixed to the type; try appending the full namespace, that should work Smile | :)

It did (the second line does not cause and error) but its ugly.

How can I make it work without the full prefix?

you could try

using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

PS: more using statements may increase the probability of a type name conflict. (e.g. if you also add a using for Excel, then Document might become ambiguous).

This is getting odd...

using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // error, even when using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
        Word.Application objWord; 
        Word.Document objDoc; 

        // no error when using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
        Application objWord2; 
        Document objDoc2; 
    }
}

That's because "Word" is a namespace... A "using" statement is a full declaration, not a partial one.

If you want to prefix them with "Word", try this:

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

That defines "Word" as an alias for that whole namespace, so you can just always use Word.Application or Word.Document

Nothing odd about it, Eddy already told you "C# doesn't like partial namespaces". You either give the fully qualified type (always OK) or just the simple type name (requires a using that holds all the missing parts).

Without using directives code is unreadable. And I have never had any issues with namespaces.
Conflicts, that may occur are quite easy to resolve and are reported as error by compiler, so it is difficult to have something wrong in compiled aplication.

Quite the contrary. People post pieces of code on here all the time without indicating the full names of classes. How are we supposed to know exactly which type of Widget you're using?

You're right, but imagine you have a big application, where everything is written with FQN. At least for me it would be a nightmare to read it... You couldn't see variable name without scrolling the screen right.
I didn't have readability on forums like this in mind, just readability in every day life.

You get used to it; it's not a big deal. I've been doing it that way since I first learned C# in 2002.
