• .NET Development Load and Save XML Page

  I have an access program that needs to download and load XML data from a site. The access program then imports this XML.  The code i'm using is below. It is having two problems (and i've tryed a few other syntaxes to save the file...). 1) The Save File dialog box is opening up, even tho i do pass in a path (and i've tried with both one \ and with \) and use FALSE for the second argument... 2) Even when i type the filename manually in the dialog box, it only gives options to save as HTML, not as XML. The file is only understood if it is XML. Note that if i manually use file-save as in the IE window that access has opened in the code abov ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2003 - Office Standard vs Professional Edition

  I recently developed an application using VSTO 2003 / VB.NET.  The application has worked in our development environment and I have successfully deployed it on several machines.   However, when I attempted to deploy it to the client’s environment, the application ceased to operate.   The client’s machine has Office 2003 Standard Edition while our development environment has Office 2003 Professional Edition installed.   I have ready several articles and blogs which state that Office Professional Edition or stand-alone Word / Excel is required for VSTO applications to perform properly.   However, I was wondering if th ...Show All

• SQL Server metadata driven SSIS package--table variable

  Is there anyone know if a simple SSIS package (moving data from source table to target table) or task can be called repeatedly using a variable that obtains value once a time from a metadata table containing only table names. Basically, I would like to pass in a table variable to the SSIS package or task to start the ETL for different tables. Thanks a lot! Oliver Patrick, Can you give some rough ideas as what you are using in terms of programming languages, scripts or SSIS tasks to create metadata driven SSIS packages. Many thanks! Oliver ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DX SDK size and satellite ISPs - It's too big!

  I recently relocated to a rural area where satellite is the only "broadband" available. Satellite providers restrict bandwidth, and I now find myself in the nightmarish situation of being unable to download the DirectX SDK because the file size is simply too large! So this post is on the form of a plea: please make the SDK available in smaller chunks (less than 200 MB would be good) so those of us deprived of unlimited Internet access won't also be deprived of the latest SDK releases! I'd be interested in hearing from others with similar bandwidth problems - perhaps if there are enough of us, the DirectX group will make the S ...Show All

• Visual Basic Errors in RichTextBox.LoadFile

  I'm trying to load an existing RTF file into a Rich Text Box control. The documentation tells me the syntax should be RichTextBox.LoadFile(filename, filetype) For example: RichTextBox1.LoadFile("C:\Myfile.rtf", rtfRTF) When I enter this, Visual Basic displays the error message Compile error: Expected: = I've also tried something like Temp = RichTextBox1.LoadFile("C:\Myfile.rtf", rtfRTF) but then I get a type mismatch error. How can I get the Rich Text Box to load an RTF file I am using Visual Basic 6 SP5 on Windows ME. Please read the comments at the ...Show All

• .NET Development filter xml element value or dump to dataset to filter?

  I have an xml file as the following: <company> <id>000</id> <address>foo</address> etc. </company> I need to search this file and get all values within the company element where the id equals a variable. I tried using (XmlTextReader.ReadString() = variable) which worked but it was too slow to be feasible. Is there a better way or should I just dump this file into a dataset and filter it there How slow is it what is your goal, and what is the current "speed" maybe we can speed it up. Loading it to a DataSet will probably take longer. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Primary key + delete....

  General Design Question…. Suppose I have a table (Table1) with a primary key (PKId), if a user deletes a record then wants to add a record with the same PKId value there is a Primary key violation because the table has not yet Been packed. What is the best solution to this I have Considers the Following… 1) Indexing on PKId+!deleted() , but this would only solve the problem if he delete the record once, what happens if he deletes the second records he created The Delete will fail( ), or a primary key violation. 2) When deleting, replace the primary key with a value from a counter table. This will work but I ...Show All
