• SQL Server Plug-in algorithm documentation and sample code

  I've read in at least one book (and heard firsthand at the SQL Server launch event) that there's a plug-in framework for adding new algorithms to Data Mining. However, the book was apparently written against a Beta version, and the location it suggests for the plug-in sample code doesn't exist in the shipping version. I haven't been able to locate any documentation about the plug-in framework in the SQL Server Books Online, and I haven't been able to find any sample code, either. Can someone give me a few pointers We are working on a framework/SDK for developing plug-in algorithms using managed code. We hope to make it available for do ...Show All

• Windows Forms controls not rendering on the form

  Controls on my windows application form render as as white rectangles with red border and red diagonal lines. It happens very rarely. Has anyone ever encountered such a thing If yes, then what maybe the cause of it Thanks Nitin That means that there was an error when loading the control into the designer. If you resize the control larger, the error should be a part of the image (the white rectangle with a red X). I am afraid that I cannot be more specific without a repro scenario. ...Show All

• Windows Forms error message-this file does not have a program associated with it for preforming this action

  I was sent some jpg photos in outlook express, when I tried to open I got message This file does not have a program associated with it for preforming this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel. The photos were kodak, which I have on my pc, also the error was from c:\Documents and settings\ then my name. These forums are for programmers working with Windows Forms. I think you are most definately in the wrong place. Try search Google for the file extension of the files in question though, (ie: .jpg, .bmp or whatever) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Adding attachment to a mail

  I'm trying to find an example of adding an attachment to an email message.  I know how to create/address an email message via C# code.  However, now I want to open a specific folder (I'll hardcode the folder name into the app) and for every message in that folder, add it to the new email as an attachment and send it.  Once it's send then I'd delete all the messages from that folder. I can't find the proper syntax for adding those attachments though.

• SQL Server MS OLE DB Provider for DB2 - string padding

  When using the MS OLE DB Provider for DB2 for retrieving data from a DB2 database on an AS/400, all string are padded with white spaces in the end. For instance, if you have a text field with a length of 10 and the field contains the text 'xyz', then when you transfer the data using SSIS you will get the text 'xyz       ' ('xyz' followed by 7 times white space). Is there any way to get around this - other than using the RTRIM function in the source query Ahhh... It is "char", so that probably explains it... However, I was trying the IBM OLE DB provider for DB2, and here the string were automatica ...Show All
