  My DTS package, deployed and run from the file system, works just fine for me, but fails when someone else runs it.

• Visual Studio Team System Source control "get" troubles

  I'm having a few problems with the Team Foundation Source Control. 1. When someone else has checked in various new files and I do a "get", very often I will still end up without a copy of some of the newly added files. Some will be copied correctly, but others will be missing. The missing files are shown greyed out in Source Control Explorer. If I try to get these particular files through Source Control Explorer, it shows a message saying all files are up to date. 2. In an attempt to get these missing files, I now try to do a "get" on the folder containing them. However, instead of copying the missing files, it n ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is there any in-built support for distributed workflows/systems?

  Recently I had to develop an application that controlled a few other applications. To get this done using workflows I had to write a lot of code using .NET remoting to get the events/methods working the way I wanted. I want to know if WWF has any specific features that assist managing a distributed setup. I wanted to know which approach would be best in a case where 1. There are multiple slave hosts each running different workflows. There is a master host that needs to control and interact with them. Is there some nice way of doing this 2. If I have multiple workflows running on a single host and each of these workflows control a ...Show All

• SQL Server SSMS scripting Stored Procedures to separate files

  I have noticed that in (SQL Server Management Studio) SSMS the ability to individually script stored procedures appears to have been removed (it was there in Enterprise Manager (SQL Server 2000) and I found a comment in another thread which appears to confirm this: Steven Twitchell wrote: >We've had several requests from various sources for functionality to script objects to their own files rather than one large file.

• SQL Server Value "+00000000000000" considered as NULL values in the last column

  Hello I use a Flat File Connection Manager for a file with 18 columns. My column delimiter is the "~" caracter and my row delimiter is "{CR}{LF}" The source files contains about 2300 lines. None of them contain NULL values. My last row is a numeric(16,2). Even if it is not the appropriate type for the value I want extract, it works with all my columns. My problem is with the last column. I have read the SQL Server 2005 interpretation of the row delimiter as actually the last row column delimiter. But, here, my values are OK and put in the destination table if it is not 0 : "+0000000001352" ...Show All

• .NET Development Internals of remote object creation

  Hi all, When you have a code segment like the following: ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new TcpClientChannel()); RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType(typeof(TransactionMaintenance), "tcp://localhost:1235/TransactionMaintenance"); this.transactionMaintenance = new TransactionMaintenance(); I wasn't able to find a link between the type registration and the object instantiation. If you inspect the IL for this code the object instantiation is done with a newobj opcode just as would have been done for a local object. How does the CLR know that it should instantiate a remote class instead of a local one Thanks in advance. Alfred Gar ...Show All
