• Visual Studio "Requests to the MSDN Online server have timed out" error

  VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 with the supplied MSDN Library. I've uninstalled & reinstalled both the MSDN and the entire VS.NET package several times. *Any* attempt to connect to offine content results in the above error. My only alternative is to work offline exclusively. The error dialog says to press the Help button to get more info, but all that does is pop up a blank screen and the same error again. Oddly, another machine on my network connects fine, and when I watch my outgoing firewall log I can *see* it trying to connect to 207.46.248.105. There's something on this particular machine that MSDN does not like. I can connect to the MSDN Onl ...Show All

• SQL Server Package executing correctly in Visual Studio, but NOT through Execute Package Utility

  I have created a very simply package which does the following: 1.  truncates tableA, 2.  Loads data from tableB into tableA 3.  Creates a derived column in tableB and fills every row with variable TestVar which has a value of "something" When I execute the task within Visual Studio, it executes properly.  The data in tableB is correct.  However, when I double click the DTSX through Windows Explorer and run the package through the Execute Package Utility, I see the following error in the progress window "Error: The product level is insufficient for component "Derived Column" (121).

• Visual Basic Extract typed info letter by letter

  What I'm trying to do is have a text box for a user to enter a name into, then extract each letter from that box in order, turn letters into numbers, then screw with that to come up with an apparently random number for later verification (see if the name matches the number). My question is- how can I get each number into a seperate variable, then change it into a number (and all letters be pre-defined, so it's always the same number for each letter)  Thx in advance.     P.S., don't be too technical, I've only been using this for about 2 months P.P.S, I have Visual Basic 6 version 6.0.8169 Enterprise Edition Y ...Show All

• SQL Server beta headache

  Hi Folks, I'm still using the the SQL Server 2005 June CTP to develop. I'm working for a client that intends to upgrade, but has not done so yet. We believed that we had 365 days from the date of installation before it would expire (late July). But Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 just expired, which is used by SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, so now we can no longer develop SSIS packages or Reporting Services reports. What can I do I thought that maybe installing Visual Studio 2005 express might work, but when I went there, it seems that it is split up into modules (e.g. Visual Basic 2005 express, Visual C++ express, ...Show All
