More Software Gripes

More Software Gripes: I really am turning into a grumpy old man. SQL Server 2005 Management Studio this time. I've got VS 2005 open on my left monitor, and SSMS on the right one. I'm attaching an existing database to SQL, and the attach dialog opens on the left monitor, not the right where my attention (and mouse) is focused. The security dialogs do the same. This is despite my Matrox display settings which indicate that dialogs should open on the same window as the mouse; obviously these aren't true dialogs. Some windows appear on the right, some don't, which from a consistency point of view is appalling.

# re: More Software Gripes: Barry Dorrans; 11/30/2005 6:26 PM; Now, try creating a SQL Project in VS. Hmm, that's not where you write SQL CLR, damn, I have to hunt now.

But that's not the bad part. It's the writing of scripts.

Create a stored proc and select a column in it that doesn't exist.
Now, first off try to work out how to run that stored proc creation script, because the normal :> run won't do it. No. It's right click on the script name in the project browser and choose run. Of course because you messed up the column names you should get an error right? Hahahaha. No. Silent failures. Which you won't notice until you try to run your code and it can't find the stored proc.

Oh, and don't even get me started on WSE
