• SQL Server Exporting Sql data to MS Access

  Hello, I'm trying to export data to an MS access database from a sql database but am having problems with mapping the sql data to the table i created in the destination database (using ADOX). Any ideas Cheers. If the destination table already exists, your best solution would be to create the "base" package by using the Import and Export Wizard, which creates any required conversion transformations for you. You can tweak the package, and add on to it, from that point. -Doug   ...Show All

  Added unbound grid rows are blank I have a master-child relationship.  The master are unbound controls, and the two children are grids. The column names and types I created in the columncollection. When I save the master, values automatically go into the grid columns and saved.  They appear in the grid and are updated correctly to the database.

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting Branches

  When you have a main source code line and create a branch off of it, if you delete the branch from source control, it still appears in the property window.  If you create another branch with the same name, VSTS starts creating merge issues with "prior versions". Is there a way to "correctly" delete a branch if no longer needed as a child branch (such as a developer leaves the company) OR is VSTS supposed to not let you delete a branch once it's created.  If a branch is never really deleted, why can you create a new branch with the same name... You will see the multiple branches in the Properties...Branches tab in the Source C ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating a Microsoft Dynamics like multiple RowLevel(multi-row) listview.

  Hi,    The requirement is to create a Microsoft Dynamics like multiple RowLevel(multi-row) ListView. The row template displaying the data of a single record should consist of multiple RowLevels. Lets say, there are 10 columns in a particular DataSource, we need to display the first four columns in one row(RowLevel), the next three columns in second row(RowLevel) and the rest of the columns in row(RowLevel) three. The RowTemplate would be something like this:       <RowTemplate>         <RowLevel>           ...Show All

• SQL Server deadlock issue

  How SQL server 2000 tracks the deadlocks - per PID or per connection I started to have multiple deadlocks, made the trace and logged the deadlock events in the error file, so I know where I'm now but... Here's the situation: The app starts and logs as PID.Then I could see multiple process running with the same PID. One of this process select and updates records in the staging table. The second process takes the same records loaded in the bus and process them with specific logic. Then it starts from the beginning. When I have 4-5 of this PIDs with several processes inside each and they are all running against the same tables I get huge ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums V3 performance degrades over time

  During my development, I had to refresh my webpage every so often. I noticed that over a period of time the map was taking longer and longer to refresh. In fact, at one point, it took 35 seconds. So, I decided to do some testing. With the help of the "window.setTimeout()" function, I automated the GetMap() function to run every 30 seconds. I calculated the time for the GetMap() function and saved it. It started out with 1 second and at the end of 30th call, it took 9 seconds. The increase was progressive and there were no spikes. I have 15 pushpins on the map. I'm using IE6. If I close the browser and restart my application, it ...Show All

• Visual C# BackgroundWorker and SHGetFileInfo

  The SHGetFileInfo function sometimes does not give the appropriate icon when called from by a BackgroundWorker. As far as I have been able to ascertain you get the correct Icon back as long as the Icon is static for a file type. That is, the Icons for .txt, .doc, etc. are the same no matter which file it is. But the Icon for files/shortcuts with the extension .url or .sln (if you have VS 2005 installed) will have Icons which depend on file and for these files SHGetFileInfo returns does not return the appropriate Icon instead it returns the default Icon for a file (the icon that is used when Windows does not know the extension type). ...Show All
