• SQL Server Teradata data extension question

  I recently installed the Teradata .NET data provider and I am trying to use named parameters and multi-value parameters in my SQL.   I am finding information on this topic hard to come by.   In order to get parameters to work do I need to write my own Teradata data extension from scratch, expand an existing data extension to work with Teradata, or can I simple edit my .config files to point to a generic extension wrapper already existing   Thanks! You need to implement a custom data extension. In order to have named parameters working, you need to implement your o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Mapping between FxCop Rules and .NET Design Guidelines

  Is it planned to implement a mapping between FxCop Rules and the "real" MSDN .NET Design Guidelines (Could be a table on some web page or something in the FxCop CHM). Regards Micha The version is identical to the standalone release, with the caveat that there is some difference in the rule set. The spelling rules are missing from VS and VS contains a new assembly for Maintainability rules that don't ship in the standalone. Custom rules development is an officially unsupported scenario, see the FAQ in this forum. Rules development will certainly be supported in the next VS release. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Why can't I UNLOAD a form in a comboBox handler ?

  I have a problem which I hope someone can help me with, it only takes 2 minutes to replicate.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bad Advice - Don't use Roxio

  In the manual install instructions for burning a CD, the instructions on the web http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/default.aspx  page say "To install the image directly from your hard drive you will need to install 3rd party software that is capable of understanding *.img file extensions. Popular software programs like Roxio’s Easy Media Creator include a Disk Image Loader application that enables you to mount disc image files in a virtual drive as if they were physical discs in a physical drive" Well, I forked out AU $144 to purchase Roxio's easy media creator, and it doesn't understand what a .img file is ...Show All
