• SQL Server Table Variables in Stored Procedure

  I am using a table variable inside a stored procedure that I am trying to execute from an OLE Datasource task in IS.  I know there was a problem doing this in DTS, which would result in an Invalid Pointer error.  I am not getting that error, but I am getting an error that says "[OLE DB Source [55]] Error: A rowset based on the SQL command was not returned by the OLE DB provider."  The stored procedure runs fine on it's own. Any thoughts     No answers for you, but I'm experiencing the same issue.  Stored proc returns a recordset from a table variable and works fine on its own.  When ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to add my customized device emulator in Device Emulator Manager?

  It's a great feature that device emulator support synchronizing with ActiveSync, however, this feature is only supported in Device Emulator Manager. I cannot cradle/uncradle any customized device emulator because it is not listed in Device Emulator Manager. Is there any approach for me to add my device emulator in the Device Emulator Manager so it can synchronize with ActiveSync The list of emulators that the manager shows comes from two places: 1)  From the list of running emulators on your machine. 2)  From Visual Studio's ConMan.  You can add new emulator instances to the list from V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System error "attempting to perform the undo operation" when using relative paths

  We are studying how to put our current code into Team Foundation Server source control, but face a problem with each C++ project. The problem is related to the fact that a solution contains source files that are 'higher' in the directory tree than the project file. So, say thay the project file is this: C:\WS\Projects\CPPProjectForTFSBug\CPPProjectForTFSBug\CPPProjectForTFSBug.vcproj The problem occurs if it contains this file: ..\..\..\Components\CPPProject2.cpp which is absolute: c:\WS\Components\Component1.cpp Then, this bizar error message occurs: On the screen: Error 1 error(s) encountered attempting to pe ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot Load SQLSpars.dll

  Hello, I have had numerous problems installing SQL Server 2005 on various machine. Most of those problems are related to insufficient rights to various users.

• SQL Server Basic authentication.

  The documentation for Analysis Services seems to suggest that windows authentication is no longer the only way of accessing AS. I'm trying to confirm whether or not it is possible to login to AS with basic authentication. If so, what are the constraints (eg is this possible only via IIS). I'd also like to find out if http access is restricted to enterprise edition only like it was in AS2000, or has the scope been widened in AS2005. Thanks, Terry. Yes, http/https connectivity will be available in AS2005 standard edition. Adrian Dumitrascu. ...Show All

• Visual C++ CRect is weirdly designed...

  CRect  rect (1, 1, 4, 4); (1,1) being the (x,y) starting position of the rectangle (4,4) being its ending position. Quiz : what will return rect.Width() and rect.Height() 4 you bet No, it's 3 !!! How come a so simple object can be so weirdly designed Thanks Ronald. The link shows anyway that this continuous approach of a rectangle brings some confusion among graphics programmers ; but, at least, it can be legitimated thanks to contiunous mathematics...    0   1   2   3   4   5    |---| ---|---|--- |---|--- In a discrete wor ...Show All
