• SQL Server Programmatically loop over variables in the variable dispenser?

  In my custom task, I would like to loop over the variables in the variable dispenser, and only modify those that are of a certain type. Is this possible Thanks! I think you can use Me.variables(x).getType to get the type of each variable. If that is not correct, you can define variables name sXXX for string, iXXX for integer, etc. Then parse the variable name, get the first character and determine the variable type. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem Running Projects After Upgrading From Beta

  After upgrading from beta to the final Visual Basic program, when running any project – old and new – would result in this error:   “ Error while trying to run project: unable to start debugging the binding handle is invalid”   After extensive searching, I found out that to fix this issue I would need to enable Terminal Services. Indeed, this fixes the problem.   But, WHY is TS needed for this It was not needed for the betas.   Additionally, it is an institutional policy to have all of the TS services disabled. A solution that would allow the usage of VB without the need to run Terminal Ser ...Show All

  How can I intercept Indigo service calls Is there anything Indigo provides out of box on the lines of SOAP extensions which are used to intercept calls made to a web service.

If you need more control, see the various interceptors on Dispatch/ProxyOperation. Hope this helps, Ralph ...Show All

• SQL Server SELECT in a table takes FOREVER

  SQL Server 2000, QA Database: A table called Telephone_Directory with just 4.000 records. SELECT * FROM Telephone_Directory is taking forever. If I stop the select after 1 second I see 162 rows. If I stop the select after 1 minute I see again 162 rows. Why this could be happening The same querie on Production Database is taking 6 seconds to retrieve the 4.000 records. That's a bit odd.  First thing I might try is reindexing the table... perhaps there's an error of some sort in the index structures.  Since it's a very small table, reindexing should be very quick.  The ...Show All
