• SQL Server SQL Agent Failing when trying to run my SSIS Package

  My SQL Agent was working fine.  Now when I try to run it, it failes when trying to run my SSIS package.  I looked in the logs, and job history, no luck in finding any critical errors.

  I want to make sure that an object instance that I have is actually derived from a particular base class before I cast it into the base class and begin referencing members of the base class. GetType() has thus far only returned the type of the instance itself, not its base type. Is there a way to accomplish this You can use "as" operator which does the typecasting for you or returns null if its ...Show All

• .NET Development Timer - in W98 fails, in WinXP OK

  I think, that I found another bug in .NET Framework 1.1. My programs works very well under Windows XP, but under W98 (tested on many computers) fails. After weeks of research I realized that one problems is in the System::Timers::Timer class. I use timer like this: System::Timers::Timer* timer = new System::Timers::Timer(1000); timer->Elapsed += new System::Timers::ElapsedEventHandler( this , CasVyprsel); timer->AutoReset = tr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Converting String to double?

  OK i have a plain text file in a rich text box. This plain text file contains for the most part just text, but it has several chunks of data which are apparently stored as doubles For Example this string here: 33333oH@33333oH@26/01/06 I happen to know that the date field is a date of payment, and apparently, the data before this is the amount paid. The original program i am trying to read was written in quickbasic 7. I don't k ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 IDE Unresponsive

  We had originally installed Beta 2 of the product which ran better than expected. After using the tool from MS to uninstall the beta software we then installed VS2005 Final which we downloaded through our msdn subscription. The IDE becomes just about unusable. Not only that but it pretty much renders the computer useless while it eats up CPU cycles. This occurs during the following conditions: 1.) We make a small change in code and the edi ...Show All

• SQL Server What's magic about DT_STR and size 50

  Okay, this is probably my own stupidity but here goes. I am trying to make a very rudimentary package. I've got a data flow that has a flat file source. This source has fields delimited by the | symbol. I give the fields in the flat file source names. The first field is always exactly 1 character. When I use the advanced editor to look at the fields' properties, I see the first field, called ProductLine, is considered to be of SSIS internal data ...Show All
