• SQL Server FlatFile Parsing Problem - Urgently Need Assistance!

  We have a BIG problem that has been occurring for quite sometime. We have a RAGGED-RIGHT FFS (FlatFileSource) component which receives a FF and then transforms to XML. We define 10 FIELDS with the last field as {CRLF} per ragged right style. Simple right The source file is sent to us from multiple separate groups, some of which don’t use the last two fields and have early line termination, so they basically are not there. The problem is that when we define X amount of fields in SSIS, it expects X amount of fields to be there. So when we receive the source file that doesn’t contain last two fields, SSIS tries to read in the next line, and in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Saving a Volume Texture to a File

• Visual Studio reports reside on another server and I get the "Load report failed" error

  Hi all. I have been working on this for couple of days now. I have a program that’s sole purpose is to be a dynamic report viewer. I have decided that this would be a good project to move to vs 2005 from vs6 c++ and make it a web app. So I began from scratch and have finished most of it, however I have ran into a problem with the crystal viewer. The reports reside on various servers and moving them is not an option. I have got some of them to work on the local machine, but the second I move them to a server I get the "Load report failed" error. The share permissions for the folder they reside in are set to everyone full control to try to el ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error Msg - "multiple definitions with identical signatures"

  I recently had to recover a hard drive. I was able to get an earlier draft of my program and rewrite most of what I'd lost, but meanwhile had to wipe the drive, load a newer version of XP, etc. I've gotten everything back except now I get this one last error msg and I can't find the source. This wasn't happening earlier when the very same language was running: "Private Sub InitializeComponent() has multiple definitions with identical signatures." This comes up in the designer view of a second form I call from a button click on form1. I suspect that you are running on VB 2005. If that is the case, check your .designer fi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Grid column-styles widths not applied (see style code)

  I have a not-strongly-typed VB. NET 2003 dataset and one table displayed in a datagrid using a dataview. The display is entirely proper prior to applying a style. Applying a style (code below) results in very small column widths, with everything scrunched to the left. Expanding the columns using the cursor shows that all other style directives have been applied; just column widths have not been applied. Here’s the style code: Private Sub gridstyle() ' Set the styles of the columns of the grid. Dim dgY1 As New DataGridTableStyle dgY1.GridLineColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green ...Show All

• Visual Studio Add-in language neutral resources

  I've implemented an add-in for Visual Studio 2005. For the .addin xml file I've set up @XXX strings for the description, about box etc. For the toolbar I'm loading custom images (using the AddNamedCommand2). All is fine as long as I provide a satellite dll with the same culture as VS. However, if my add-in is installed on a system with a localized version of VS and I don't provide a satellite dll for that exact culture the add-in doesn't start up at all (fails to load resources). I have also provided language neutral resources in the main dll for the add-in. Does this mean that VS doesn't support the standard .NET resource fallback m ...Show All
