• SQL Server No Toolbox

  This seems like a rather simple questions that I've hesitated posting for a day now, but as of yet I can't really find an answer through my searches online. My SSIS package is using a couple of the Konesans Transforms, this worked fine on my development box with my dev SQL server. The time has come now to deploy my package to my production SQL server. The instructions on installing the transforms on my dev box all uses Visual Studio to ad ...Show All

Is there any way we can re-create the SharePoint portal for an existing Team Project We don't car ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF or Skelta

  I need to design a workflow application. If we set aside the fact that the WWF is still in beta phase, what would you recommend ; skelta or WWF. I think that WWF misses some features like email etc but has a strong support. Skelta makes the work very tedious like mentioning the workflow variables in different xml's, using its own libraries to access database etc. Please give recommendations with reasons in support Thanks in adv ...Show All

  I did some testing with the Richtextbox control and ran into a problem: when replacing text some formatting seems to be removed. I made a text sample in Wordpad which contains the text and format Bold! Not bold. in rtf this looks like this: {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1043{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} {\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\b\f0\fs20 Bold!\b0 Not bold.\par } I saved it as 'test. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Silly question about Sequential Workflows

  Hi there! I have one silly question. State machine workflows can move from a state to another, and if all states are connected, the different states can loop around the state machine (depending the order, of course). For example, if I have a states named "OrderComplete", "OrderConfirmState" , "OrderRejectedState" and "OrderApprovedState". When the order is complete, the state moves to "OrderConfirmSta ...Show All

• Visual C# An Event Handler in a static object

  Background: I have a ComboBox designed as a simple color picker with a short finite list of choices.  To show a color bar in each choice, I handle the DrawItem event. As I would like to use the Combo box across a number of dialog forms, I declare it as a static, as follows: public class G {  public static ComboBox ColorList = new ComboBox();  static G()  {     // Copied from a standard ...Show All

• Visual C# Should I pass an object to a class using its constructor or using a property.

  I need to instatiate a class and then assign a property with a value. One solution is to: Instatiate the class. Set a property in the instantiated class. Another solution could be: Modify the constructor of the class to accept a parameter. Use the parameter to set the property in the constructor. Any idea if one way is better than another Thanks in advance, Dave If your class ca ...Show All

• .NET Development Dates and the database

  I'm really having trouble figuring out how to handle dates within my database. SQL is really picky about date fields, and so I'm having trouble. 1. If I want to leave a date field null - I can simply omit it from the insert statement, but then once it is entered and I try to "null" it out then the database gets mad at me. 2. If using .NET I try to check for validity on a null date - it returns as valid because the time element of ...Show All

• .NET Development When method returns Com Invisible type?

  Hello, What exactly is the behaviour here Marking BarNotForCOM [ComVisible(false)] will result in the ReturnBar() function to be exported as the quivalent of object ReturnBar(). QI on the unknown object will only succeed on IUnknown as thats the only interface you know on that object. Unless you have type information for the object you cant do much with it. If you implement an interface (even through another type lib/assembly) on BarNot ...Show All
