• SQL Server Creating DTS

  Are you referring to Data Transformation Services package in SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server Integration Services package in SQL Server 2005 If it's the latter you can create an SSIS project using the Business Intelligence Development Studio which is part of SQL Server 2005 in editions from Developer Edition and higher.

• Windows Forms ComboBox Binding with a Blank Selected Index Initially???

  I'm making a search engine windows app that contains ComboBoxes that are bound to my SQL Server database. It would be so much better that once my ComboBox is bound that I could have no item selected (so a blank) incase they don't want to include that in their search but I can't seem to do that without putting in a blank record in my database and that seem soooooo wrong. The only answer I can think of is maybe populate an RA with the data leaving index[0] a blank and then binding to the RA. But I don't even know if I can bind to an RA. If anyone thinks this is a good idea I'd love a code example. If anyone has any ideas, workarounds or ...Show All

• Visual Basic Simple window restore from max/min behaves erratically when AppSettings are used

  VB 2005 - Very simple windows application - one form, no controls.  The only thing I set is Form1/ApplicationSettings/Location to "Form1Location" and Form1/ApplicationSetting/Size to "Form1Size". Now run the application in IDE (or as execuatble) and maximize the window using the control box.  Then restore the window using the control box - the window does not resize to the original size before the maximize.

• Visual Studio Visual SourceSafe (Internet) is slow as hell...why/what can I do?

  So we have 4 people attempting to access VSS via the Internet plug-in, and it is slow as hell. Doing a get on the solution is about 2 to 3 times slower than SourceOffsite for more than one of these guys ... (and that puts it basically at the same speed as VSS over LAN...and yes we checked, they are running the Internet plug-in). The others are slower than SourceOffsite but not as bad as describe above (but it is inconsistent....and this is comparing on the same network connections). Any ideas What OS do you have the Web Service installed on In Windows XP Pro there is a limit of incoming connections, which ...Show All

• .NET Development problem with the online xml/xsd validator

  Hello, for a job I am required to validate my xml files against a schema using the online validator at http://apps.gotdotnet.com/xmltools/xsdvalidator/ and even though my files validate without any problems using either offline validators or other online ones I can't get a single file validated using the above mentioned one. For every single element in my xml document I get an error message saying: Warning at (4,2): Could not find schema information for the element 'xyz'. It seems like the validator fails completetly to connect the instance to the schema. I did various tests and am pretty sure it's not a nemspace problem. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Parsing/extracting multiline fields

  I have a very large sequential file in which each data field is delimited by the same unique string (//, specifically). Each field of data is multiline. I would like to iterate through the file, extracting each field of data for purposes of parsing subfields and recording the offset of each field of data. Unfortunately, I can not identify a method that extracts/parses data fields that span multiple lines. TextFieldParser seems like a nice option, but it seems single line oriented also. I realize I could read each line of the file sequentially and concatenate each line until I reach the delimiter, but I would like a more efficient metho ...Show All

• .NET Development Plans for Nullable types in 2.0 Typed DataSets?

  Is the support for Nullable types in 2.0 Typed DataSets a feature that has the potential to make it into the RTM, or was this cut   I have seen some stuff in the Data Team's blog about that functionality but they are all fairly old posts. I am exposing Nullable<DateTime> properties on some of my Business Classes, but am unable to blindly pass a null value into a datetime field in a Typed DataSet (defined as datetime, set to maxOccurs="0" a.k.a. AllowDBNull=true).  In 1.1, I used to be able to set nillable="true" and that would cause the code generator to create a Set<FieldName>Null method for me to use to handle the nu ...Show All
