• .NET Development The difference of TableAdapter

  Hi, TableAdapter is a new feature of VS2005. When I design the DataSet (named MyDataSet)  in WinForm Application, it will generate 4 file: MyDataSet.xsd, MyDataSet..xss, MyDataSet.xsc, MyDataSet.Desginer.cs. But if I desgin the DataSet in Web Applicaiton, it only generate two file: MyDataSet.xsd,  MyDataSet.xss Why How can I modify the desginer.cs when I design TableAdapter with Web Application I think Microsoft web.net team does not expose the the .designer.cs file on purpose for the web project. Anyway, you should not touch the .designer.cs file in general. This file is generated by the des ...Show All

• Visual Basic Indexing a String

  In VBA is there a way as there is in C++ to retrieve a character from a string by passing it the location.  In C++ this would be as follows: sTemp = "Test" sTemp1 = sTemp[2] In this example sTemp1 would contain "s".  Is there a way to do this in VBA without using the Mid() or Mid$() ... functions   Thanks. .net allows you to do this: DIm MyString as string = "test" mystring = mystring .

• SQL Server Suggest Column Types

   Is there a parameter/ registry setting I could use to change "Number of rows" in "Suggest Column Types". Number of rows to scan is defaulted to 100. I believe the maximum rows you can set to 1000. If you try to set anything more than 1000, system will change from what ever you set it back to 1000. I came across this problem during testing. I was wondering anyone else came across this and how they resolved it! Thanks Sutha I have raised a suggestion for this. And also to have it allow for just strings to be suggested, to allow for data not be converted when it doesn't need to be http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/P ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need advice on running VB apps from network

  I have been assigned the task of finding a way to make our VB apps run-able from our network. From everything I've read about doing this, it sounds like I have to run the .net framework wizard & change the setting for the .exe file to be fully trusted. I don't actually have the wizard on my machine to try it & our network admin is reluctant to try it without knowing exactly what to do. So I have several questions on this: 1) Can someone walk me through the exact steps in the wizard to configure a VB app to run from a network share location 2) Will every machine need to be configured individually for each app that needs to be ru ...Show All

• SQL Server General error handling

  Hello, Originally we had laid out how we wanted our packages to work. In that concept we never really wanted our packages to fail but to offload the problem data to a file so that we could examine it (finding a problem in 1, 10, or 100 rows is easier than finding problems in 100,000 lines). The 2nd thing we want to achieve is to audit each task at the beginning and at the end. Very similar to how the the number of rows is shown in the dataflow. Our first problem is that each task would require us to create a new file to offload the problem data. This quickly became a huge concern due to the number of files that we would have to maintai ...Show All

• Smart Device Development A multithreading question

  Hi there, I'm using a printer dll (PrintCE.dll) to print into a mobile printer I have via bluetooth. Now everything worked well until I wanted to have a nice error message (and a quick one) if the terminal can't connect to the printer (if it's offline for example), What happens today is that it takes more than 60 seconds until it finally give up the try and gives the error. so what i've done is i've put the start printing procedure in a difrent function, and called it via a new thread like this: ThreadStart job = new ThreadStart (StartPage); Thread thread = new Thread (job); thread.Start(); Thread .Sle ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS Query from VBScript or COM

  I'm looking at integrating WDS functionality with an existing application and have been trying to call the ExecuteQuery from VB6 but am having problems. Does anyone else have some example code that they've managed to get working I've worked out that passing empty strings seems to case issues and am passing null references instead but am getting some errors raised ("Inv. Proc. Call"). This is for a small quick research project to decide between WDS and GDS so any suggestions would be very gratefully accepted!

• SQL Server Recreating the functionality of a extended stored procedure that uses srv_impersonate_client

  I need help rewriting an extended stored procedure as a CLR. What this extended stored procedure does is to return the domain username of the person connected via named pipes. This is accomplished by using the srv_impersonate_client and GetUserName functions from opends60.lib. I have tried rewriting this in CLR using Microsoft.SQLServer.Server.SQLContext.WindowsIdentity but have been unable to replicate the functionality to return the same values as the srv_impersonate_client. If anyone knows how I can rewrite this as CLR, let me know, Also I am looking for where I can get a 64bit version of opends60.lib to run on an amd64 Thanks Darryl ...Show All
