• Visual Basic Managed memory leak

  I am having a very strange memory leak that seems related to databinding. It is very hard to reproduce, so I won't post any code here to do so, but will just describe the problem. We have data entry forms which have controls which bind to custom business objects through a BindingSource object. On Dispose of the form, we call ClearBindings as described in: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwinforms/html/databindi ...Show All

• SQL Server some guidance for an SSIS newbie wanted

  Hi! I'm new to SSIS (and quite new to SQL Server). I have a process which I'd like to automize via SSIS - just don't know how and couldn't figure it out yet by playing around with the program. Shouldn't be too difficult though. First of all, that's the process as I do it now: 1) Load several flatfile sources (dumps of SQL tables) into an SQL database. 2) Add identifier rows (to some tables), set the primary and foreign keys so the database is &q ...Show All

• Visual C# Compiler seems to fail to check the restriction of generics

  Hi, The VC#2005 compiler accepts the example below, but the assertion (*) fails at the runtime nevertheless the type T is restricted to a class. The actual _t is an Int32 passed at the line (***). I suppose that the compiler should reject this code. Actually, the instantiation of generics (**) is wrong because the argument IComparable can violates the restriction "class". The compiler should detect this and reports the violation. ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating aomething similar like SCD wizard interface

  HI, I created a script component that is doing some transformations and it works very well. Now, I want to use the same script component on other dataflows in order to use it with other tables. Since my script component uses three outputs and some of my dimensions may have sometimes 50-60 columns, and the fact that I need to customize the column names used in my script, I would like to be able to have some kind of wizard like the SCD wizard to c ...Show All

• SQL Server Large log backups

  I noticed that my log backups are very very large after doing a full backup of my databases and was confused why that was. I created 2 maintenance plans - one for full backups and DB maintenance that runs nightly - one for log backups that run at 4hr intervals For whatever reason, the first transaction log backup that is performed after the full backup of the database is as large if not larger than my full backup, while subsequant log ba ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System .NET 1.1 FxCop 1.32 SDK Documentation

  Hi all, I am new to FxCop, and can clearly see its advantages. However, I am unable to find any documentation as to how to use the SDK that accompanies the application version 1.32. I am eager to delve into FxCop to utilise it, but without API direction, I can see that I will potentially be introducing more bugs into my current set.  Steve David's information is right on the mark. I've included it (and so ...Show All
