• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem with Canceling Outlook application opening under .Net?

  Hi,   I’m having problems while canceling outlook opening under .NET, using VS.Net2003 & outlook2003. In my project I added a reference to the ‘Microsoft Outlook 11 Object library’ and created a new outlook application with the following line: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); Once the above line is executed, there is an attempt to open a new outlook application and if outlook was not opened, a windows with the title ‘Microsoft Exchange Server’ is opened asking whether to ‘connect’ or ‘work offline’ or ‘cancel’.

• .NET Development C# equiv of isdate?

  Hi, How do i check if a string contains a valid date Ex, i have a string ="jan 6 15:15", I want to set the year to 2006, but only if it's not already a valid date as is the case. so, the resulting string should be "jan 6 2006 15:15". but if the string already has a valid date, ex "jan 7 2005", I don't want to touch it. I try to use the datetime.parse inside a try/catch, but i couldn't get it to fail. It keeps setting the date to now(). Has anyone done this before If you know the format that it must be in, have a look at the DateTime.ParseExact method, otherwise us ...Show All

• SQL Server ETL using SSIS

  Hi guys, I have been able to put together a simple SSIS package and familiarize with how it works. Now as I am trying to put together this ETL job I am stuck and am looking for some recos: I need the source system to be able to do a join on my Datawarehouse table and push thru only those rows which I am interested in. Can this be done using one of the Data flow task Presently we do it by using staging area, creating temp tables, doing joins, but if I attempt the same here, what is the advantage I would derive out of SSIS Any pointers will be helpful Does anyone know as to how I can tap into the SSIS meta data and maybe kind of ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting initial values when adding a datatgridview row

  Hi, I have a datagridview bound to a datatable in a dataset. When the 'add new' button on the bindingnavigator is used to add a row I want to use all default values except for one column which has to be set programatically. The default values are fine, they were set up in the column properties of the datatable. But how do I change the one special column If I use the addnewitem event in the bindingnavigator, does this occur AFTER the new row has been added to the DGV and the corrasponding datatable As a guess, I tried this, changed the value in the datatable cell and called DGV.RefreshEdit to update the DGV. Didn't work. I don't even k ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting a list of computers on a network

  I'm writing an application that needs to get a list of computers (their names) on a network. The examples I've found all seem to query an ActiveDirectory on a server, which is not what I need. Is there a way to get a list of computers on a server-less network using the .net 2.0 classes I've done this before in VB6 using API's, so would I have to do that in C# 2005 using System.Runtime.InteropServices, or can it be done with System.DirectoryServices Thanks for any help with this.   Yeshia wrote: Im not sure if this is what you are looking for but this code should get a list of computers ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Modeling tools

  First off, I'd like to say I was happy to read about this much needed additon to the VSTS family. Way to go, guys! Now, for my questions: You've said that this version of TSData will not include data modeling features. It follows that many of us will have to integrate existing modeling tools with TSData. Are there any features that can be used for that purpose Will you present best practices and/or how-tos on this subject Does TSData support creating and managing configuration data (by this I mean DB records that must be deployed for applications to work and are created and mantained by the DB dev team) Cheers, Brian ...Show All

• .NET Development How to enable ETW tracing for System.Data.OracleClient.1?

  I have an web-app that inserts and updates data in an Oracle 10g database using databinding with the SqlDataSource. Inserting data into the table works fine, but when I try to update a row that has a datetime field it crashes and says that it cannot insert null value into the field even though I pass I valid value. The only solution I have come up with so far is to modify the SQL-statement to update the datetime field using Oracle's CURRENT_DATE() function. To find out what is actually sent to the database I tried to enable ETW tracing for System.Data.OracleClient.1 according to the article Tracing Data Access , but I never got it work ...Show All
