• SQL Server How to get a row committed

  I have a package loading up rows of employees from an excel file. An employee may be in the file multiple times. The package does a lookup and if not found it inserts the employee. When the employee is found it does an update. So in my file employee A gets added on the first occurrence in the file. On the second occurrence, the lookup does not find the employee and tries to insert a second time and I get a unique constraint. How do I make the first insert Commit so that it is seen by the lookup on the second occurrence. thanks I assume you are using the OLE-DB Destination. Open the component UI, and ensure you have select ...Show All

• SQL Server merge replication problem ; very urgent

   We have a publisher and 2 subsribers. The subscribers are spanning 2 transactions/sec. We have inplemented merge replication and it was scheduled to occur every 5 min. When we start the replication, the replications is going on without any problem for sometime(may be some hours), but after that it failes with the message, "the process could not deliver inserts at the publisher". We have SAN. When I searched for this error in google, it asked me to increase the queytimeout value in agent profile. So I increased it from 300 to 600, but in vain. If anybosy could help me in this, that would be great. Thanks, Preethi. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Updating a local SQL Server Express database

  Hi, I created a SQL Server Express database and added it to my project by using "Project|Add New Item" and selecting "SQL Database". I then added a single table to the database and added a single text column to the table. I dragged the table to an empty form which prompted the UI to automatically add a datagridview, a binding source and a dataset, configured and ready to go. When I run the program, I can add data to the dataset (apparently), but the next time I run the program, the data from the previous session is gone. I have tried all sorts of things including adding an "update" button to invoke the " ...Show All

• .NET Development GC hangs with 100% CPU utilization ?

  Dear .NET gurus, I am trying to debug some .NET 1.1 application and and experience a strange behavior - from time to time the process hangs with 100% CPU and has to be killed.

• Visual Basic How to avoid stepping into the Enterprise Library when debugging?

  Hi, <<<< Note: I first posted this in the "VB General" forum, but decided it is more appropriate here. Please help! >>>> I'm sure this is an easy question to answer for someone that has a better understanding about how debugging works in Visual Studio (2005). I've been trying to figure out how to avoid stepping into the DAAB (Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block) when debugging. I have "Just my code" enabled, and I am referencing the compiled versions of the DLLs (i.e. I don't have the DAAB source added to my solution), yet somehow it still steps into the DAAB when I am pressing F8 to s ...Show All

• Visual C# Multifile Assemblies???

  How do i add a static member using the class view...this static method should be named Add() that returns an int value and accepts two int parameters first and second Dpowers, Well, some people thinks that a college graduation is enough, some people think that any certification is a good thing. I think MCAD is a good certification for developers, maybe a MCSD certification is a better choice for software engineers 'cause it evolves all the life cycle of a software. But you must be aware, Microsoft will release the .Net Framework 2.0 next november 7 and the certifications rules will change. See this article: http://mcpmag.c ...Show All

• .NET Development Checking if I'm online

  Hello there! This is my 1st post here and I'd like to greet all people here and ones that are yet to come! I hope we will cooperate just fine. For start, I have a question: I'm making a project with Visual Studio .NET. It is a counter that counts time spent online. (most people in Croatia still use dial-up networking, including me) I'm doing the code in C++. I was wondering how can I check if I have connected to Internet. Another think (I think that would be better): Can I set it so that when I connect to Internet, I send information of establishing connection to my program (if program is not ran, it runs the program first). Is this possi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing the MS Windows XP File properties programmatically

  I have recently been asked to organize my department network drive into some meaningful structure.  I have found that most users who create documents do not use the document properties in any way to add title, category, subject etc.  This would be very helpful in organizing files.  To aide in the monumental taks of organizing department files I though I would creat a macro to access the file properties that appear through the windows XP explorer File, Properties, Summary tab using visual basic and update the info found there.  Is this possible I have found examples how to modify the information ...Show All
