• SQL Server Error: The value was too large to fit in the output column "colName" (60).

  Hi All, I'm trying to transfer data from DB2 Database to SQL Server 2005. Well, i used the OLE DB Source, the Data Conversion Component and the OLE DB Destination component. I have five Data flows with this configuration above. But I am receiving an error message from one of them. Please check below the error message: "[Source Table TARTRATE [1]] Error: The value was too large to fit in the output column "ADJ_RATE_PCT" (60).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dataset Question

  Hi, I created a form and setup a Split Container - the left pane being a Tree View (with some top level nodes being topics: Memory, Operating System, Hard Drives, etc). The right pane contains a listbox. Is it possible to use a dataset (with no DB connection) to hold all my information in memory Then I'd like to be able to query the dataset to fill the listbox with the info I need when a user click on a node in the left pane. I've tried it, but I'm having some problems understanding how to do the dataset. If I create the dataset in design mode, I can create a table and add columns. But I seem to have problems accessing it from my c ...Show All

• SQL Server Migrating db's from 2000 to 2005 results in truncated columns???

  Hi all, Today I stumbled across something very strange. A couple weeks ago we migrated 2 servers from sql2000 to sql2005, and changed the default colation at the same time. The way I did it was I backed up all the user databases to *.bak files, uninstalled sql2000, installed sql2005 using the new default colation, and restored the databases. Today we discovered any columns that used to be char(xxx) were truncated to char(255), and the leftover went into a new column (i.e. a char(300) column became 2 columns, column1 char(255) and column2 char(45)).   Does this remotely make sense to anyone I tested this out creating a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NetTcpBinding, Windows security

  Let's assume you have service application runs on a computer which is part of  a domain and a client application runs on a computer which is not part of any domain and you want to use that service (Simple example can be found on MSDN, WinFx : Net TCP Sample ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.WinFX4VS.1033/WCF_samples/html/e8475fe6-0ecd-407a-8e7e-45860561bb74.htm) Obviously it would not work, but the problem is even if you add client credentials to the client application, still it does not work!

• .NET Development Why am I getting WSE2008: KerberosToken is expected but not present in the security header of the incoming message.

  I'm working with a WSE3 client and WSE3 server. I'm getting the above error when my client tries to call a Web Service method on the server. Debugging the problem, I tried using the QuickStart WSSecurityKerberos Policy sample. When I use the QuickStart sample everything works just fine (both client and server applications are running on the same Windows 2003 R2 Server machine -- a 64-bit machine w/ 4 Intel Xeon 2.8GHz processors, w/ 4GB of RAM). However, when I take the identical wse3policy.config settings from client and server (each) and put them into a 2nd application on that same machine (also with client app and serve ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Is the new Media Foundation a replacement of Direct Show?

  They seem to perform the same task too me. Is Media Foundation supposed to replace Direct Show Hi John, You're correct that DirectShow and Media Foundation are similar; both of them are platforms for running multimedia presentations. As for whether Media Foundation is a replacement for DirectShow... As of Media Foundation v1 (i.e. the flagship version of Media Foundation that will ship with Windows Vista), if you're doing something like multimedia playback, you'll notice that working with the Media Foundation requires you to work at a slightly lower level than working with DirectShow would have.

• Visual Basic Need to call external DLL that takes structured parameter

  Hi, My application needs to call an external unmanaged DLL supplied by a third party. That DLL is written in C I suspect, it takes a struct parameter that holds some 30 fields, most of them of type char[x] where x varies for each field.
