• SQL Server What are the implications for changing the remote distributor SQL server service details

  Hi, I am replicating a couple of SQL2K databases via transactional rep and remote 2K distributor to 1 SQL2K5 database. I want the distributor to email me when/if any of the agents fail etc. In order to set this up, I think that I need the SQL Server service to use a domain account (from error messages that I have been getting). It is currently using a local system account (it was a test box in a previous life). I have tried this briefly ...Show All

• SQL Server Missing SQL Server Project template

  I have VS2005 Beta 2 (build 8.0.50215.44) and the June CTP of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed. Within VS2005, when I go to File -> New Project, I don't have the "Database" project type under either VB or C#.  Which also means that the "SQL Server Project" template is not being offered. Is there a manual way of adding the template, or some other workaround/solution Nevermind.  I have VS.N ...Show All

• SQL Server Passing rc:Toolbar=False in URL causes report to render incorrectly

  I have a report that just displays different status images based on some data. I use an expression to choose an embedded image in the image property of the image. This report needs to be displayed in Sharepoint. I have tried using the report viewer web part, a page viewer web part, and a content editor web part, but whenever I try to view the report without a toolbar, none of the images are displayed. I pinned this down to the rc:Toobar=False ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel BeforeRightClick TransparentProxy

  When VSTO was in Beta 2 the Excel "BeforeRightClick" event handler would receive an instance of an Excel.Range type.   Now, instead of the range it receives a Transparent Proxy that consequently causes my Application.Intersect() method invokation to fail ( "No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))" ).   I'm not sure where the Transparent Proxy came from, it was not in the Beta 2 code, ...Show All

• SQL Server Minimum Hardware Requirement Warning

  Hi all, we have released a shrink-wrapped software package that uses SQL Server Express as it's backend. I am currently tracking down an issue to do with SQL Server Express not installing correctly, and at the end of a lot of investigation I have come to the conclusion that it is a CPU problem. The CPU is not "PII Compatible" enough for SQL Express. It appears as though the Cache prefetching instructions are the most likely culprit, ...Show All

• SQL Server Package executing correctly in Visual Studio, but NOT through Execute Package Utility

  I have created a very simply package which does the following: 1.  truncates tableA, 2.  Loads data from tableB into tableA 3.  Creates a derived column in tableB and fills every row with variable TestVar which has a value of "something" When I execute the task within Visual Studio, it executes properly.  The data in tableB is correct.  However, when I double click the DTSX through Windows Explorer an ...Show All

• Visual C++ Change in C++ Project Property Sheet Editing 2005??

  When editing a property sheet for a project (e.g., adding compiler options), in previous versions of VC++ .Net, if the "All Configurations" selection was selected as the configuration to modify, the common settings between the different configurations were displayed.  You could modify these common settings or add new common settings (e.g., add compiler options to the command line).

• Visual C# using keywords

  Hi everyone, I have some doubts about the usage necessity of using keywords. Instead of using this keyword, it is enough to only add the packages into our Assembly(DLL files), so inspite of this, why do some programmer do both of them(add the packages into Assembly and also use using keywords for these packages). Thanks, Mert Regardless of your having added a package to your assembly, you need either a using statement, or a complete namesp ...Show All
