• Visual C# VS 2005 RTM crashes A LOT when using refactoring

  Hi, Currently I am pretty annoyed... Every second or third time I am using the refactoring-option in the IDE, the IDE crashes. For example, I have a C#-class with some members. I rename one member hit Alt+Shift+F10 and then Enter. After starting the IDE, it works one, two or maybe three times if I am lucky. But then when using it, the IDE will crash. Either a real crash or the Window is just gone as well as the process. REALLY annoying, when it happens 5 times in 7 minutes. The refactoring-module would better have been left out of the product... No problem, I am glad that your problem got resolved. Ju ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Programmtically show / hide xml tags in the document

  Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to programmatically set the "Show XML tags in the document" option in the XML Structure task pane. Joel In Word, often (not always) the macro recorder is your friend. Start the recorder, perform the steps, then check (in the New Macros module of the VB Editor) what comes out. In this case: ActiveWindow.View.ShowXMLMarkup So, you need the ShowXMLMarkup property, of the View object/property of a Window object (it need not be ActiveWindow, per se, just any Word Window object related to the document in question) ...Show All

• Visual C# Error CS0554. user defined conversion to/from derived class

  I have come across a most peculiar compiler error. When I try to define a cast operator to convert from a base class to a derived class I get this error - apparently according to the help "User-defined conversions to values of a derived class are not allowed; you do not need such an operator." Is this as insane as it appears to be or am I missing something somewhere Of course I need to define a cast operator, how else can the compiler know how to create a derived type from a base type Any explanations appreciated. Dave Interesting thought. I'll need to look back and check on the code and see if there are any ...Show All

• SQL Server sql server express loses ability to write to database

  After a period of use (typically 1-2 hours), an application using SQL Server Express stops writing to the database, whilst still continuing to read from it. As far as I can tell, no error message is generated by any operation. The application is written in VB Express and is executed on several machines, with SQL Server Express on a central machine. Re-starting the application on the affected machine restores normal operation. The problem on one machine does not cause a similar problem elsewhere at the same time (hence it appears to be an issue with the relationship between the application and SQL Server) This does not appear to ...Show All

• SQL Server Updating data

  Hello. Is it possible to somehow update data as it is copied from source to destination using SSIS. Currently I extract data from Database A, load it into database B, then clean/update the data in database B and then load it into database C using DTS on 2000. What I would like to do is extract data from database A, clean/update it, then load it straight into database C without having to load it into database B first. I am unable to clean/update the source data in database A, as this would be the obvious thing to do. Thanks. The way to do updates from the pipeline is to ...Show All
