• Visual J# ResourceBundle problem

  Hi; If I call ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources", locale) where locale is for a locale I don't have a resource for (I used "zz_XX") - it throws the ArgumentOutOfRange exception. In this case it should work and just use resources.properties. I also tried "en_XX" which should fall back to resources_en.properties - but again I got the exception. - dave Hi, I am not getting the exception that you have mentioned. It would be really helpful if you could provide me your sample code and the resource files. The exception mentioned above is seen when neither of the following steps are done: 1. Execute "resgen" on .resx format if you are working ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with Execute SQL Task

  I am having problems creating an "Execute SQL Task" which calls a stored procedure. I have tested the procedure successfully using parameters that I have hardcoded on the command line (i.e., EXEC procedure_name 1, 2). This works fine, but I'm having problems using variables(i.e., EXEC procedure_name @VAR1, @VAR2). I'm using a ConnectionType of OLE DB. When I parse the Query I get an error message that says "The query failed to parse. Must declare the variable '@VAR'". However, I have this variable declared and assigned a value. I have played around the Parameter Mapping pane but I'm not getting anywhere. Can anyone shed some ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Area and Iterations

  Can anyone point me to an article explaining how Area and Iterations are meant to be used in TFS Thanks. I do not have a reference to share, but I can offer a high-level explanation. Area and Iteration are meant to be used for classification of artifacts in TFS. If you are extending the system and you provide support for classifying the things generated by your tool using Area and Iteration, you allow the user to implicitly relate those things to other things of interest within the tool suite. Reports over data in the warehouse can then be used to help visualize those relationships using time (Iterat ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS will not start after SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade

  Hi guys, I have experienced a problem with a SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade, where hotfix.exe reported an error during the SSIS component upgrade, and then the SSIS service would not start back up. I have since attempted an additional SP1 upgrade on the server, which completed successfully, however the SSIS service still will not start. The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (x86), which had been a clean RTM install prior to the SP1 upgrade attempt. The following information was located in the C:\Windows\Hotfix\DTS9\Logs\DTS9_Hotfix_KB913090_0.log file (the servers name has bee ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installing on Virtual PC

  Just wondering if there was a best practise for installing VSTS on a Virtual PC eg. as far as the server bits go, should I install everything on one VPC (eg. a Server 2003 OS with it's own Active Directory + SQL 2005 + the foundation bits) Would the client bits be better off on a separate Virtual PC instance that can see the server instance or could they all be put on the same one -dave Also, something I've just discovered... with Beta 2, it appears you cannot install SQL Express or SQL Developer edition on Virtual PC's.  I went through hours upon hours of errors when installing VS2005 only to fina ...Show All

• Windows Forms binding two BindingSources

  I have two user controls. Each control has internaly a BindingSource. I want that these two controls will be syncronized - will share the same data source and position. How can i do that Thanks Asaf Unfortunately we do not have that feature and you will have to write code to synchronize the BindingSource positions.  I agree this would be a good feature to have.  Please log this as a suggestion here: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx feedbackid=769432e5-2c72-4541-ad9f-b31dac37fc17 Thanks, Joe Stegman The Windows Forms Team Microsoft Corp.

• Visual Studio Team System A Minor fxCop Bug??

  One of the dependencies in my application is on: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook when fxCop can't find it and prompts me to browse for it it, the file dialog box prompts me to look for Office.exe or Office.dll and won't let me change it to the correct name in order to find this dependency. Is this a bug It's not a big issue - I've been able to ignore it, but it would be nice if there were a fix because I get it everytime I run fxCop. Thanks, Chuck Chuck, I can't repro this.

• SQL Server Arithmetic operation failure. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

  I used the following code in a function. The @infloat is input parameter For every other number than 16.31, 17.31, 18.31, 19.31 and 20.31 (at least those numbers I checked) the code runs ok. For those numbers the result is wrong. What I want to do is return a ten digits number left filled with zeros, with the last two digits consitered as decimals. What I do is multiply the given float with 100.00, and take the resulting integer But when @infloat is multiplied with 100.00 and @infloat in (16.31, 17.31, 18.31, 19.31 and 20.31) the result is (1630,1730,1830,1930,2030) instead of (1631,1731,1831,1931,2031)..
