• SQL Server Choosing explicit cell in Excel to SQL Database

  Hi, is there a way to choose a specific Excel cell and put the value into a specifc column in a SQL table using the wizard For example, when the package is run, to have cell B3's value placed into a newly created row in column 0 and have F6's value placed into the same row in column 1 Thanks for your time, James EDIT: What happens currently is I'll map a particular Excel column and it will create almost 200 rows in my table with mostly null values, as that is the format of the Excel sheet. I would like to create 1 row per Excel sheet, with selected information input. Thanks! It is unclear. With ...Show All

• Visual C++ vs .net 2003 class wizard problem

  Hi, I'm running vs .net 2003.  If I start a new mfc project, add a dialog resource, then enter the class wizard to add a CDialog class to my project, everything works out fine.  But if I make a blank Win32 project and start making an mfc project by hand, and try to do the same thing, the class wizard will just exit without making any files or adding anything to my project.  Any advice   I tried changing the project settings to be similar to the mfc project's, but it didn't work.  Any advice would be appreciated. You have to create a native MFC Project in order to use Class Wizard ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions DB Update Problem??

  Hello everyone I am somewhat new to VB, but not to programming in general.  When I am testing out code I have that updates local DB tables, everything appears to work well.  I close the app and reload and looks like changes are still there.  I then close VB Express and reopen and changes still appear to be there.  But the moment I try to view data in the table directly, I cannot see the values I would expect.  Afterwards, the values appear to be gone when running the application as well.  It's like any time I touch the DB in design, all changes I thought were made to the tables are completely gone!  Is t ...Show All

If I call this method for example directly by a button event, all works fine and I am able to step into onDataReceived. 1.) I already had a deep rechere abo ...Show All

• SQL Server After Transaction Log Grows, it won't shrink.

  The other day I had someone truncate an extremely large transaction log (100GB) but it wouldn't return the space to the OS, not even after a backup and restore operation. There’s an interesting bit of trivia around shrinking this file. When the log file is truncated, you may not see all of the space returned to the OS. The reason is the way the data might be spread. Here’s the way we think data looks in the log file: <BeginFile>xxxxxxxx-----------------------------------------------<EndFile> So when you truncate it and it gets another couple of transactions, it should do this: <BeginFile>xx<EndFi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Working Offline with Source Control

  Hi, Am I supposed to be able to work offline with Team Foundation server I have a solution with a few projects in Team Foundation Server.

  I coded Dim a As Boolean = Me .ActiveCheckBox.CheckState and get the warning, implicit conversion from syste.windows.forms.checkstate to boolean. I have lots of such warnings.  You'd think vs would allow you to get more information on how to solve it.  I have many such warnings and can't submit a million questions to this forum on solving each one. In addition, I can't copy the warning Another irritant is the well known need to click alt+enter A bigger problem is my attempt to inherit and add features to a binding navigator.

• Visual C# Arraylist Clear

  I have an object that is recursive.  Meaning that it contains an ArrayList that holds child instances of the same object (like a tree node.....). When I call the Clear method, will all the other children be released or should I call Clear on each of the children's array list Thanks, Bob > So after the top level clear, nothing references the children > and grandchildren (although they reference other non-node objects). > On the next GC, they will be released.  Is this right Yes.  Something is garbage collected if nothing references *it*.  It can reference as much as it likes ...Show All

• SQL Server Raising errors in Validate() method

Here's a section of my code: if (ComponentMetaData.InputCollection[0].InputColumnCollection.Count != 1) { return DTSValidationStatus .VS_ISBROKEN; throw new Exception ( "You need to select one and only one column" ); } The problem I'm finding is that my Exception never gets thrown so I never see the error in the UI. if I reverse the 2 lines like so: if (ComponentMetaData.InputCollection[0].InputColumnCollection.Count != 1) { throw new Exception ( "You need to select one and onl ...Show All
