• Visual Studio Team System Load Test requests/sec drop to zero

  I'm seeing a recurring problem in a load test where requests/sec drop to zero during the test, and then resume normal levels 1 minute and 15 seconds later. The load test has 25 users, starting at 1 and ramping by 3 every 8 seconds - it consists of 2 webtests. I reach a constant user load and everything cranks along pretty well until about 30 minutes into the test. Then requests/sec drop to 0. I don't see any corresponding spikes in any other counters - just % processor on the servers also drops to 0. Every time I re-run the test, I see the same type of behavior, but ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing Column size/type with Derived Column

  I have a number of date columns that are parsed as DT_WSTR (6) and I have written a Derived Column converting them into DT_DATE via this (found on the forums) type expression: (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(Date,6,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(Date,8,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(Date,1,5)) But I really want to replace the current column, not create a new one. If I use "replace" the data is forced to be a DT_WSTR (6), and I get a truncation error at run-time. Simeon A column is identified by it's lineage Id. Deleteing a column and adding it back, even with the same name and same data type properties will cause it to change lin ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express Icon

  Earlier versions of SQL had an icon in the system tray - which was very useful. I cannot seem to find how you activate this in 2005. Also you could schedule a job MSDE 2000 to, say, backup a database. I can't find how you do this in SQL Express.

• Visual C++ VC++ 2005 doesnt compile, when non-startup project header is changed...

  I have five projects in my solution. First four creates static lib and the fifth is exe file that uses those libs. The fifth project is set as startup and dependent to others. Whatever file (cpp, h) is changed, compilation occurres after F5 (build project) is pressed. I can also change something in cpp of the dependent project and it is also compiled. The problem are any changes in header files of dependent projects. VS just saves them, but writes: " ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 5 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========" to the output window and compiles nothing. I tested this in VS2005 prof and VC2005 Express. Both have the ...Show All

• Visual C++ byte array to char array

  this is probably to many steps to accomplish this and if there is a better way then i am all ears. anyway its not working as expected. I am reading 120 bytes starting from posistion x to x+120 to a Byte array. Then i am copying that Byte array to a Char array, at this step i am losing some of that data. I am then converting that Char array to a String*. What am i doing wrong here BinaryReader* FileReader = "new File to open" Byte bBuf[] = new Byte[120]; bBuf = FileReader->ReadBytes(120); Char cBuf[] = new Char[120]; bBuf->Copy(bBuf, cBuf, 120); String* sTemp = new String(cBuf); ...Show All

• Windows Forms Startup Banner Form in Visual C++ Express

  Hello All! I'm using Visual C++ Express and have the following question: What is the best method to implement a startup banner for a Form application It's my guess that the banner is just another form with no border style... correct I've figures out how to use a timed event. but which form event do I use it in Because apparently you can't call the Close() function in the Load event. Also, should Form1 be the banner or should I make another form the banner In main(), which call should I use to start the banner Should I use: Application::Run( gcnew Form1()); or Form ^ dlg1 = gcnew Form1(); dlg1->ShowDialog(); ...Show All

• .NET Development Runtime generated typed datasets?

  After reading the post on TypedDataSetGenerator class, I have a question. Indeed, it would be interesting to be able to create a typed-dataset at runtime.  I think that's what is required, I have an app that is be used to back-up SQL data into XML files.  If the dataset could be generated at runtime, the user could select any database to back-up. Is that actually possible   I always assumed runtime datasets are untyped. The DataAdapter's FillSchema method fills a DataSet with the schema information of the database, so that information gets saved in the xml file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Range.get_Information() is causing Application.XMLAfterInsert to be fired

  Hi, I am getting some strange behaviour which I am having a hard time reproducing in a new project. I know that without being able to reproduce it I am not being very helpful, but I am running out of options and time. I will keep trying to reproduce it, but in the meantime any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. I have a Word Template project and I am using XML tags to mark certain parts of the document that interest me. I then subscribe to the Application.XMLAfterInsert and Application.XMLBeforeDelete events so that different parts of the application can be alerted of changes made to the document.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Beta 1 to Beta 2 Installation

  Hi. I just ran the beta 1 cleanup utility, and it came up with an error. I manually removed vb2005 and then .net 2.0 beta. Now, when i run the setup for beta 2 vb2005, it just sits at the gathering informatin  window once the progress bar gets to 100. I have waited for a while and it still does not proceed. I have a fast pc if it makes a difference. I too ran the VB Express Beta 1 cleanup utility but have been totally unable to install Beta 2.  Even after providing MS with some diagnostic info there seems to be no way to completely clean my system of the old Beta 1 software.  I've given up tryi ...Show All
