• Visual Studio Team System Multiple vsmdi files

  Hi, We are getting multiple vsmdi files.Everytime someone runs a unit test the solution is automatically checked out and a new vsmdi file is created using the naming pattern MySolutionName1.vsmdi, MySolutionName2.vsmdi, etc. I've compared the files and they are the same. They live in the solution root and always have. The workaround that we have is to undo checkout on the files in question and then it works fine unti one next restarts the IDE. Any ideas anyone else getting odd behaviour with vsmdi files I've C&P'd the XML contents below:   < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > - < T ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SqlBulkCopy?

  Hello again, I've got an exteremly frustrating new problem with WWF Beta 2. I'm in the process of converting a simple data import utility that I wrote a few weeks back that uses the new SqlBulkCopy class. In my existing import utility ( a simple console application ) the bulk copy operation takes an average of about 17 seconds and works like a charm. I set about breaking this import utility into several "unit of work" style blocks and was able to get all except the most important one working. In the final activity which actually does the bulk import of a text file into a SQL table using SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer, the follow SQL exc ...Show All

• SQL Server String to Date Conversions

  Having some trouble converting strings to dates. I am using a .dtsx package and have figured out how to use a derived column to convert the string to a new string which is a valid date. The problem is now converting the column data type to date. I insert a new data conversion step to convert the vchar field to date, then when it runs it fails on this step. Error is The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data." If I leave out the data conversion step and run the package, then manually change the data type to date it warns with the same message, but if I ac ...Show All

  We have a new machine Win2k3 server with IIS installed, also have SQL 2005 Developer edition installed, which also install .NET Framework 2.0.
