• Visual Basic Visual Basic 2005 Express Ed. BETA 2

  Hello. I was wondering if it's possible to get Visual Basic 2005 Express BETA 2 on CD without having to have a Credit Card in Australia. I have tried the manual and automatic downloads and they don't work for me at all, both at home (not connected to internet) and at work. (I couldn't use the automatic download at work due to me not having admin privleges) Thanks. Hello again I've just downloaded it. I had to split it into 5 pieces and take it home like that... It should still work... I hope... I've only got 2 pieces left! Yay! (As long as they don't reset the server) Once I've got all the pieces I'll burn it to one of my brand ne ...Show All

• .NET Development Quick SQL question

  I am trying to build manually the UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE strings of my OdbcDataAdapter because the ones generated by the OdbcCommandBuilder are not going to be adequate. I will still be starting from the generated strings and build on them. To understand better what they do, I need to interpret a specific SQL predicate, and I am having trouble with an expression within. The following SQL command is supposed to ensure that a row in a table is deleted only if the data hasn't been changed (in OBDC style, parameters are designated by question marks): DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE ( (ColumnIndex = ) AND ( ( =1 AND TextColumn IS NULL) OR (TextColum ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Basic help for dummies, Please!

  I've just started my 16 lessons in Visual Basic Express 2005 and I'm learning my first programming since old GFA Basic.  But my goal doesn't seem to be part of the lesson plan, and that is to simply send "H1carriagereturn" to com2 at 4800 N81. I've tried the code snippets, (probably don't know how to use them), and looked at examples of long serial port programs, (don't understand anything about them). I've tried the simple example in the help file: Sub SendSerialData(ByVal data As String)     ' Send strings to a serial port.     Using com1 As IO.Ports.SerialPort = _ But simply copying and p ...Show All

• SQL Server Management Studio Problems

  I have some real problems with SQL Server Management studio (RTM). 1) When I open up my query files in Management Studio, I can't see the filenames on the document tabs.  Mgmt Studio invariably cuts the filenames down to a point where they're not readable.  I can't even see what file I working on presently, as it is no longer shown in the caption of the application.  For example, let's say I have a file called get_products.sql which happens to be Read Only.  Management Studio sticks all of this other garbage in there, so that all you can see in the tab is [ReadOnly]dbn...oducts.sql.  This is an enormous time-waster.& ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multiple Resource Files

  Hello. I have been "told" that my app may need to operate in multiple languages. As far as I can tell this will need me to create another resource file, with all the same dialogs, menu's etc just with different languages. So "File" is something else in spanish. I realise that this is a labourous task etc. I was wondering where it is in Visual studio that you can specify to use a different .rc file As I understand it is a .res file thats actually used in the build (i assume its a compiled rc file). I know where this can be changed in visual studio but is there somewhere that i can say instead of using "some path\m ...Show All

• SQL Server Running jobs with SQL Server Agent

  this may be a really basic question . . . but I am trying to run an SSIS package as a job.  The package won't run and the error message I get on step 1 is: Executed as user: SERVERNAME\SYSTEM. The package could not be loaded. The step failed. The job owner is my Windows login on the server, but even if I change the job owner to SYSTEM it won't run. I'm assuming it is a user credentials problem, is that a correct assumption Thanks for any help. Your assumption is probably correct.
