• Visual Basic Unicode question

  After I have compiled my application are there ANY possible ways that UNICODE can affect the running of the application in any way at all For example (run on these systems characters typed and entered into fields will they be 4 byte characters ) If there is any possibility of any problems at all then how do I know when this is happening and how do I resolve the problems Michael J. Dyrnaes I keep asking you ... HOW do I know when I need to look for that "An example of the answer that I would have perhaps expected would have been that need to string comparison on every single data field every single time I have a use ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS on SQL Express

  Does SQL Express support SSIS packages If so, how can they be created in SQL Express Please reply to my true (not modified) e-mail address as I don't know if I will be able to look here again soon. Thank you!! ):-D P.S. Related question: Where can I find a comprehensive list of features that are supported by SQL 2005 that are *not* supported by SQL Express You can use Express as a destination or source for SSIS but you don't get the runtime or designer tools with Express edition. For a list of what is supported in each edition have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/ ...Show All

• SQL Server Restricting Access to Management Folder under SQL Server 2000

  Hi I have a SQL Server 2000 Server with several Databases owned by different users.

• Visual Basic upgrading from vb6

  Anyone have any opinions on upgrading from vb6 to the current or will be current vb2005.  I have tried the upgrade process for 2002 and 2003.  Wasn't too impressed, but I realize I can't expect it understand and re-write all my code.  Wondering if the upgrade process for 2005 is any different or better....    Thanks,       Jason Hall Hi Jason, We have added some new features to the Upgrade Tool in VB 2005 see this article for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbrun/staythepath/VB6UpgradeResources/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/v ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How does one design a loop back to an upstream activity?

  I tried to design a simple workflow but I got stuck. Assume the following sequential workflow of 4 activities: A01->A02->A03->A04 Now assume that there is a conditional evaluation after A03, if it is false, a loop back should occur to A01, if it is true, the workflow proceeds to A04. How does one design this in the WF designer I can't find anyway to connect back to an upstream activity. Roel Paul, Thanks for the update. I have a more complicated workflow that I have been struggling with. I don't seem to be able to model it in WF, at least not in a straightforward way. It's a bit diffi ...Show All

• Windows Forms a bug on ListBox?

  Hello, I have a DELL computer with a newly installed Windows XP with SP2 and all updates from WindowsUpdate, I have a very simple application: one TextBox , one ListBox and a Button, when I press the Button the text on the TextBox is added as an Item to the ListBox and in fact the Item is added to the ListBox but it doesn't show any text.

• .NET Development XsltCompiledTransform inheriting or implementing

  In a project i am making i needed something similar to Xslt, but quite different too. I managed to create it, it basically works the same as Xslt but with some differences. The language is called Sslt, and the class that does transformations SsltCompiledTransform (~ XsltCompiledTransform). I now have the following problem. The application uses both Xslt and Sslt transform classes. I also have a class that monitors a folder checking it for new files to transform. I would like for this class to have an instance of either XsltCompiledTransform or SsltCompiledTransform. Using an interface seemed like a neat solution... The class is called Monito ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Project - Scope of a project

  Each TFS Project can store mutliple .NET Projects. Did the original design of TFS intend on us using only a handful of TFS Projects, each containing many .NET Projects, or was it intended that we would end up with numerous TFS Projects, each with only 1 or 2 .NET Projects included For example, did you intend on the TFS PRoject to be likely named "Team X" containing 50 random .NET projects from the past year, or a TFS Project named "Accounting Project B" that included a single web service, winform application, and web site specific to an accounting problem A response directly from Microsoft would be appreciated.

• .NET Development server error when using Parameters.Add function...any suggestions?

  Hello, I'm a bit new to DB programming and the .NET framework but I think I am picking it up fast. I've been handed an application that has been working for some time now until recently when the system was upgraded to the latest version of IBM DB2. I've tracked the error down to a line of code and was hoping that someone could give me some suggestions as to what may be the problem. I have a function that takes an Object ByVal. In the function all I am doing is checking to see if the value passed in is 0 or not and then adding parameters to a DB2Command class variable. This function is called twice.
