• Visual Studio Express Editions Copy schema from data table to data source

  DataAdaptor.FillSchema is handy for creating a data table and configuring it to match the schema of an existing table in a data source. But I need to do just the opposite. I have a table that I create progamatically. I create a new SQL database using t-SQL CREATE DATABASE. I want to add a new table to the database with schema matching that of my existing table. I can do it rather laboriously with t-SQL, but some sort of "DataAdaptor.SetSchema" would be a lot easier. Does such a thing exist Thanks, --MAble hi, Better idea would be to use T-SQL to create a table in DB since you can se ...Show All

• SQL Server IDENTITY fields

  I have a table with an IDENTITY column for a pkey. I'd like to insert one record into this table and use the generated identity value to insert ~100,000 rows in a second table. I'm sure this is a common scenario. I don't want to pre-generate identity values or anything like that - it seems like this should be a simple task and I'm missing something. I've tried OLE-DB Command tasks with INSERT INTO ....; SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() - but there doesn't appear to be a way to retrieve a resultset from the OLE-DB command task. I've also tried a data flow with a lookup for the identity, and then tried to merge the one  ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Do I need WSE3 if I have WCF

• Visual Basic Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed

  I installed VS 2005 Beta 2 on a WinXP pro system (numerous times). It finally installed without erreors. It looks like it is basically working - I can create a new windows project and add items from the toolbox, edit the code etc. If I open an existing project (created on another box) things load properly but I cannot open any forms in designer view (I can open them in code view).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas, Rectangles, ClipToBounds slowness

  We are thinking about starting a new moderately complex graphical application in WPF. But before committing to the platform, we are testing features to see if WPF can handle it. >:) One test application so far has a Canvas with ~800 Rectangles (added with C# using “canvas.Children.Add(..)”. These rectangles are movable by dragging them… implemented with Canvas.SetLeft(rect, newLeft) and Canvas.SetTop(..) from the MouseMove handler. I need some tips on how to speed this up. Currently dragging a single rectangle around causes 100% utilization with 20 FPS on a Xeon 2.8GHz… even turning down to 50 rectangles seems ...Show All
