• Visual Studio Team System How to determine solution workspace?

  G'day, Let's say I have two workspaces in my workstation. I have opened solution 1 in Visual Studio by using "Open from SC" in workspace1, worked with it some, then switched to solution 2 I have worked with previously, which happens to be in workspace 2. When working with version control solely through the Solution Explorer, one has no problems. However, in the TFS Source Code Explorer you have workspace selector combo box. Now, I have been working with solution 2, closed it, and opened solution 1. The solution 2 is in different workspace, but workspace selector in Source Code Explorer aint reflecting the workspace of curren ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to create View Text Size in WebBrowser

  I am creating a webbrowser and wish to include a "Text Size" option under the View item of the menustrip. This would be exactly like Internet Explorer where clicking "View/Text Size" produces a flyout menu ("Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller, Smallest") that changes the size of the font in the web page. I found another thread discussing changing text size when using "Select All" from the Edit item, but nothing specific on this particular topic. Creating the menu items in the menustrip is easy. I just don't know how to make them work. When I researched this topic in the MSDN library I found a poten ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS package BLOCKS at opening.

  Hallo, I'am relatively new to SSIS-programming and experiencing a serious problem with a package (6618 KB large) containing 5 dataflows. These dataflows all start from a datareader-origin and flow trough multiple transformations. While editing the fifth dataflow the developmentenvironment suddenly became unworkably slow. After any modification made to the dataflow it takes several minutes before I can continue editing. Meanwhile in the task manager the process devenv takes a very large portion (50 to 100%) of CPU. Building the package,shutting down SSIS and even rebooting the PC don't make any difference. When you close the package an ...Show All

• SQL Server Processing NULL values

  I have an input file that may have NULL's in it's fields. The fields are of a various data types.   The NULL value is represented by - question mark. Is there a way to set package or file connection up in a way - so it treats as NULL The only other way I found is to use Derived column - and so I have to create derived field for most of the fields (150 of them) since a lot of them may contain - or NULL.   Any ideas   what adds pain is that two operations must occur for each column: relace with null and data conversion.   So, I have to create following expre ...Show All

• Visual Basic Issue with SQL Server 2005 Scripting Language

  I orginally posted this within the SQL Server SSIS area, but realized that this is probably a better forum. Thanks for any help you can provide. I am utlizing a scripting object in my ssis to combine two text files into one final file, and then I want to delete the original files. To do this I am utilizing the FileSystemInfo namespace and associating the file names, then utilizing the DELETE functionality. The creation of the final file works perfectly...unfortunately, my base files do not delete, and I do not get a failure message or indictator. Here is my code: ' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task ' Wr ...Show All

• SQL Server Should this be an error rather than a warning?

  If you have a package that uses an environment variable for an indirect configuration and the environment variable is not present when the package runs you get the following warning: The configuration environment variable was not found.  The environment variable was: "Seer.ConnectionManager.CUECommonReference". This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid.   IMO, if the package is expecting to find something and cannot find it then ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem adding / removing servers from the DomainProjectPicker control

  I have an issue related to adding servers to the list of servers provided by the DomainProjectPicker control (Beta 3 Refresh).
