• Visual Basic StreamWriter giving me fits! much background and code ;^)

  Let me apologize now for the length of this post…. This has me stumped (not that that’s hard to do). Let me give some background. I am creating a “sweeping” program for my FTP server (local, located in my office) that will use the filesystemwatcher to look for new folders (containing .wav or .dss files) as they are being uploaded and move them to a central location. Two of my major concerns for this app are the slow upload process for some of my clients, and that if the FTP server computer, or the app itself should freeze or be accidentally turned off (or we lose power past my backup’s battery capacity, etc. etc), th ...Show All

• SQL Server Conversation Group Question

  I'm trying to use Service Broker to relate a set of messages together and was trying to use a related conversation group id. From what I can gather (looking at other threads) I can't use this..... Basically, my ideas was.... I have several tables being updated within a database transaction. These tables will have triggers associated with them which send a message to a SB queue detailing the table that has been affected and the key information. After the database transaction commits, I wanted to retrieve the group of messages in order to identify exactly what happened to the database during the transaction (for business reasons). I don' ...Show All

  Hello all, I just installed the June CTP Client Tools on a fresh hard drive (no previous CTPs installed).  I am trying to run a package that was written in the April CTP and runs successfully on other computers with the June CTP installed.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What causes CommandBinding.CanExecute delegate to be invoked ?

  I have a button that executes a command when it's clicked. I have a CommandBinding instance associated to that command, and also methods to: * Allow/disallow execution * Preview execution * Handle execution All 3 are being called. It's obvious when the last 2 will be called but not the first one. Depending on a specific application state, my CanExecute method will return true or false. When the application starts it returns false which makes the button is disabled, as I expected. As the application runs, its state is changed, but the button is still disabled because it didn't call CanExecute to get the new value. What's strange is that when ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication Trigger Problem (SQL 2005): Assistance Please

  Our company is wanting to replicate a bunch of data down from our central server to tablet PC's. We really do not have anyone on staff with solid experience in replication, and have hit an error that we cannot seem to find any information whatsoever on.
