• Visual Basic TreeView Control Arrays

  Hi, In VB6 I wrote a form that had a control array of treeview controls. When upgraded to .NET - which does not support control arrays - it now does not work as there is no control array object in Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6 namespace like there is for some of the other controls e.g. TextBoxArray Does anyone know of a way to emulate VB6 style control arrays for Tree View controls Regards Michael Green Hi Michael, As far as I'm aware, you can't completely emulate control arrays. I might be wrong, but I taught myself very early in my .net learning to just avoid them :) If you ...Show All

• SQL Server How to insert only new records (not already in destination)

  Greetings from a SSIS newbie still on the learning curve... I have a SQL query OLE DB Source that yields a result set that I'd like to put into a SQL Server Destination, but only those records that don't already exist in the destination. Is there a recommended (read: easy) way to accomplish this Perhaps a handy transformation I have tried to incorporate a subquery in my source query along the lines of: SELECT fields FROM table1 WHERE keyfield NOT IN (SELECT keyfield from table2) which works in design time but fails at the server with a cryptic: "Error: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion." ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem with uppercases in directories

• Visual Studio Text is being cut off

  I am using Crystal.Net in VS 2003. Sometimes, the text gets cut off on the right side of a text field. The only thing that I can find in common with all of the text fields that exhibit this behavior is that the data being displayed is actually a text datatype in a SQL Server 2000 database. It just breaks words right in the middle instead of pushing the word to the next line. Is there anyway to keep it from cutting off the text right click on the textfield - format field - common tab, check "can grow" checkbox ...Show All
