• Visual C# Editor Indentation

  I'm using the express edition. I would like to change the indentation to 2 spaces in lieu of the curent number of spaces. Can someone direct me on how I can accomplish this. Thanks It is the same place in C# express that you do this except that the view is simplified and you need to do the following to show the "Tabs" page. Go to Tools | options dialog. Check "Show all settings" check box on the left hand bottom corner of the dialog. Then go to "Text Editor | C# | Tabs" page and you can manipualte the "indent size" other tab VS space options available there. ...Show All

• SQL Server Registry to store configuration values ?

  I try to store a SSIS-configuration value in the registry. But it's failed. I get a warning, that the registry-key is not found. What is the syntax I have searched in BO,MSDN and  Google/Internet ==> nothing. There is no example.     The syntax of how to specify the name of the registry key is straightforward. See BOL: ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/uirfsql9/html/212e52e7-27a7-48bb-8bad-34aa290d2003.htm If you're asking how to define the syntax of a configuration (i.e. The thing that should be IN the registry key) then that's a bit more difficult.

• .NET Development Graphics software development

  I have an idea for a specialized graphics tool but can't find any resources to get started. All the programming books and online resources I've found so far deal mainly with business applications and don't delve much deeper than that. I want it to be a product similar to packages like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, only much simpler. Can anyone suggest any books or websites that can point me in the right direction for this sort of thing Hi, I think Paint.NET would be a good starting point. You can download the source code and take a look at it. http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/about.htm Regards, Vikram ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to Migrate SSAS 2000 to SSAS 2005 with MigrationWizard.exe

  To all, I am having a heck of a time on the SQL 2K5 MigrationWizard.exe. I get the following completely ambiguous message: Exception Type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown. The typical "life-lines" of searching MS have provided no help. The wizard is migrating about 35 dimensions and about 40 cubes. Is this too much for SQL 2K5 to handle Kenny Hi, If the AS2000 cubes contain many partitions and aggregations, then MigrationWizard will get out of memory when trying to transform them into their equivalent structures for AS2005. To work-around this, please split your database into sev ...Show All

• Visual Basic getting files from FTP

  Hey, I got a Windows application that processes Excel files and transfers all data to a DB. These Excel files at the moment are being sent to Malta from Germany via FTP........ the user copies the files to another location (as the FTP directory is not accessible) and then browses for them using an Open File Dialog.... the application then does the processing needed! I would like to automate this a bit more. 1. How can I access the FTP server (NOT anonymously!) 2. How can I check if the folder is empty 3. How do I retrieve files (preferably removing them from the FTP server and placing them in another location) Thanks for your help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Invalid Drop Location

  In the New Team Build Type Creation Wizard, why doesn't the Drop location allow hidden shares \\ComputerName\sharename$ It doesn't like the $, but I think this should be allowed. I'll file a bug for that. Does the build work if you check out and edit the TfsBuild.proj file to use that drop path after going through the build wizard   You'll have to escape the dollar sign.  See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms228186.aspx  (though it doesn't list the set of special characters).

• SQL Server Am I missing something???

  So I'm using the new Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (aka Enterprise Manager)... 1. So I load it up, add a few sql servers to it. Mess around, close it, open it again and lo and behold it didn't bother to keep any of my settings or any of the SQL Servers that I had added and anoyingly asks me for login information to add another one.  Unless I'm missing something, you just threw out one of the best parts of Enterprise Manager. Please someone tell me how to fix this so that it works the way it should. (and someone else, i.e. Microsoft, make it the default behaviour to add and save any sql servers and bring them up the next time, t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging an .exe launched by a service problems:
