• .NET Development Undocumented Changed SqlDbType behaviour in .NET 2.0

  Has anyone experienced this 'feature' and if so found a neat solution that avoids a lot of recoding In .NET 1.x when you create SqlParameter objects, without specifying the SqlDbType, .Net would infer the SqlDbType from the .Net type that contains the parameter's value.  A string would infer nVarChar. The same code, converted to VS2005, running over .NET 2.0 experiences different behaviour.  On some, but not all(aargh!), ocassions a SqlDbType of nText is inferred for a .Net 'parameter value' type of string.  This is not even one of the listed options in the MSDN documentation.  (It is even more odd given that I ...Show All

• SQL Server Doesn't like a particular namespace

  Hi, Can someone try and replicate an error for me. Follow these steps: 1) Create a new package 2) Place a Sequence container in it 3) Create a variable called User::ContainerStartTime scoped to the package 4) Create a variable called User::ContainerStartTime scoped to the sequence container 5) Change the namespaces of the 2 variables from "User" to "Metadata" You get an error on step 5 saying another object in the collection already has that name yet it doesn't mind them when they're both called User::ContainerStartTime Why -Jamie Hi Jamie, Yes, but we had already found and fixed it for SP1 and that is what it is being tested on for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Object reference not set to an instance of an object

  Everytime I check in a file, i get this message. What is this for Thanks, Ted OK, I just went through and traced by my fix for this. As indicated by my earlier posts, I fixed this in the sources about this time last year. The fix did NOT go into SP1, however. I believe this was due to the fact that the null reference exception occurs after the check-in is already complete and no harm is done. I agree it is annoying, but it really doesn't hurt anything. Because the bug was low impact, the fix did not make the bar for inclusion in SP1. The good news is that I verified the fix was brought over ...Show All
