• SQL Server Scheduling the SSIS Package

  Hi, I want to schedule an SSIS package to run always. So I tried scheduling the SSIS Package as a Job in the SQL Server Agent and I have set the Schedule Type as " Start automatically when SQL Server Agent Starts ". I have used an WMI Event Watcher task to raise an event when the file dropped in a folder. And I have provided the configuration file also properly in the job. But still my package is not running properly. The application is running, but it is not raising any events even when the files are dropped in that folder. Pls anyone of you provide some solution for this. Thanks & Regards, Prakash Srini ...Show All

• Visual Basic Determine Dll Types Programatically

  How can you programmatically determin if a dll is an assembly, win32 or activex Thanks for the feedback.  I double checked with our team and there is no API call in .NET that can give you this information.  You would need to write custom code to crack open the DLLs and see what they are.  I've passed this on to the product team for consideration in future versions.  If you have the time and interest, I suggest you file a suggestion on the product feedback center and reply with the ID number.  Thanks again.

• Visual C++ arrow, delete and number keys don't respond.....

  Using VS2005 C++ beta 2 every now and then I can't use my delete, backspace, arrow keys or my side number pad while working in the VS enviornment.  I thought that I might have lost focus but the carret is still blinking where I was last at, and if I type the numbers or letters on my main keyboard then I can do things...  The worse is I can't delete.  At first I thought this was just in debug mode but it now started happening while just coding.  I can't tell you what I do to make it stop... usually I do build or do a rebuild or even shut down VS and reopen it. It is hard to reproduce what you are reporting. It could ...Show All

• .NET Development System.IO.SerialPort sample in V C++ Express

  Could someone please post an entire example (with includes, using , namespaces, etc) I have found several samples for C# and V Basic, but none for V C++.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX messes up other Threads!

  This is my situation: In my app I create a new form that renders directx things (simple meshes...)... The DX (DirectX Feb 2006) form starts up it's own render loop, which runs until the form is disposed. On another thread I run a control that displays a graph... When adding points to the control it calculates the DateTime value to it's internal format and then displays the form. If the DX form is disabled (not even loaded) the graph works but if not then the graph doesn't work correctly as it calculates identical values for different dates! Example: without DX: 1.1.2006 20:10 => value 1 1.1.2006 20:34 => value 2 with DX: 1. ...Show All

• Visual C# Using a C# dll in VB6

  Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to use a dll that has been created in C#, in Visual Basic 6.0. If so it would be great if you could let me know how I can make this possible. Thanks & Regards, Frenz Yep! it's possible... You just have to create your C# class and compile it to a dll, then use regasm.exe for assembly registration and typelib generation... regasm YourAssembly.dll /tlb:YourAssembly.tlb This command makes the appropriate registry entries and generates a typelib (.tlb) from the .NET assembly so that it can be referenced from VB 6 and just use the referenced library just as y ...Show All
