• SQL Server MS Help - Reporting Services PDF Rendering and Code Security Context

  This is a long post. I have spent a collective 8 hours over the last 2 days working with MS Technical Support on determining the reason why my reports images, when called using absolute references to a web project ( http://localhost/projectname/mypic.jpg ), were not displaying when exported to PDF. Side note - the techs I worked with were excellent, but just as stymied as I was concerning this problem. My architecture has a .NET 1.1 app written in VB.NET that uses the Reporting Services 2005 web service methods to pass a stored procedure parameter and explicitly export the report in PDF format. On a sub report there are 2 Image control ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual Studio reformats html

  When I switch between Design View and HTML View - the code is reformatted to be on single lines, running several asp:labels and asp:hyperlinks together on one line.

• Visual C# SQL update command not working

  When trying to execute a ExecuteNonQuery instruction in my C# web page program I receive an error message which says "Operation must use an updateable query". It is referring to an SQL UPDATE command against an Access data base file. What is strange is that the program works perfectly on my main computer but when I transferred the programs to my backup computer I get the above error message. Both computers are running XP sp2 and both have the same Jet engine dll and the same sql server. Does anyone know what can cause the program to not allow an update on a file. Or more importantly, what does this error message mean Dav ...Show All

• SQL Server Storage of packages: file system or Sql Server?

  HI, we are beginning a new project at my company and I was wondering where is the best place to save SSIS packages: file system or SqlServer. I have used other ETL products and they always create a repository on an RDBMS. Since SSIS offers us the choice of DB storage or file system, is there pros and cons of both approach Will the deployment of our application be simpler by using Sql Server since we would onky move metadata instead of files Thank you for your help, Ccote This might be worth reading for you: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/02/20/2902.aspx Make sure you click t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is there a notification service Activity????

  In WWF there are activities that dont come with the instaler, like FileSystemActivity, I was wondering if there is an activity that notifies tha a change has been made in a SQL data base, something like a notification service Activity, does any one know Other than the activities that come with the product there are some sample activites that can be found at http://www.windowsworkflow.net/default.aspx tabindex=2&tabid=31 , but I don't think that any will notify you when a change is made to SQL. If there is an event that SQL fires then you could create an activity that subscribes to this event, kind ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro table manipulation

  Two tables exist, call them tableA and tableB. They share some data. which was easy to get select a.work_id, a.sp_id, b.work_id, b.sp_id; from tableA a inner join table b on (a.work_id = b.work_id); order by work_id; into cursor hold1 there is still a matter of getting all the data from tableA and tableB that they don't share. i tried doing a left outer join, but i still get duplicates. Any ideas MP After further look at my data, i seem to be excluding some info.

• Visual Studio Team System sqlservr memory usage at 2GB

  I was just poking around on our TFS server investigating some unrelated issues, and noticed that sqlservr is using 2GB of memory (1GB physical, 1GB virtual), while msmdsrv is only using 225MB total (113MB physical, 114MB virtual). This machine has 2GB of RAM on it, and Task Manager shows about 450MB "Available". From the backups, it looks like we only have about 160MB of data (TFS dbs+reporting+STS). We have about 5 users using this machine. Is this normal I'm guessing SQL can't go any higher since I'm 32-bit with no /3gb or any other memory features. Yes, this is normal. SQL will allocate as much memory ...Show All

• .NET Development Tcp buffer

  Hi, Client applications for my application are sending about 1500 short messages/second via Tcp sockets (local sockets, I mean on local host). Besides, my application is running on more than 60 PC, routing commands also via Tcp sockets. I fight againt my colleagues (programmers of these client applications) asking for using ACK but they did'nt want. So, I rely on the Tcp buffer and read (and handle commands) as fast as I can this Tcp stream. What is the best way to read a Tcp stream Should I try to read faster and put commands in a queue I fear that I will just move the problem and will have a very big queue.

• SQL Server Copy data from one table to another

  On the OLE DB Source, I have as following: select field1 , field2 , field3 from table_source On the OLE DB Destination, I used fast load option with table lock checked, and check constraints to copy data to table_destination. Both table_source and table_destination have the same table definitions. After the dtsx package ran, the number of rows copy over to the destination is not same. I got different results from different runs. This only happens when the source table is over 1 million rows and when I'm copying from the transaction database where user's activities are heavy. Any ideas how I can modify the package so it can copy ...Show All
