• SQL Server Getting the data type of the IDTSCustomProperty90 object

  Hello,    I want to get the datatype of the IDTSCustomProperty90 object which I get from my IDTSComponentMetaData90.CustomPropertyCollection. I tried IDTSCustomProperty90 .ObjectType.GetTypeCode() and I get Int32 for all properties. How do I get the data type for each property in the custom property collection. In case of a control flow executable I simply get it by calling DtsProperty.Type (the Type property). Hence  I guess there has to be something which will give me the data type of the custom property as well. Thanks -Suri The Integration Services development team has al ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting the type of a value entered in a Textbox?

  Hi there, Well, i'm using VB.NET2003.

• Windows Forms datagridview and dataset.table rowindex don't match

  Hi everyone, using VS 2005 C# I have come across a problem, I have a windows form with one datagridview control binding to a dataset with a doubleclick event. The problem is datagridview rowindex matches the binding dataset.table index, as long as I don't click on one of the column headers to change the datagridview sort order. Then the two indexes do not match e.rowindex on a CellDoubleClick event, because I delete a row from the database, the database drops the wrong row. But if I delete from datagridview it's self with sorted colums it does drop the correct row from the database. So datagridview does track datagridview row.in ...Show All

• Visual J# user.dir for Microsoft Java VM

  Is there any way to set the default working directory (system property user.dir) for all Java applications run on a system (via a registry key, etc) I know how to do it programmatically for one application, but I'd like to make the setting apply to all applications running on a workstation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! James Hi Jaiprakash, 1. Sorry I'm fairly new to the Microsoft VM, so I'm not sure if I'm answering this correctly.

• .NET Development Removing IIS site port from WSDL

  Due to the arrangement we have with our firewall, our IIS server sits behind our firewall and hosts websites on different ports. When requests come though the firewall for different URLs, the firewall handles these and passes them onto the appropriate sites by their port. This is fine for everything but web services. When you try to capture a web service on a site behind the firewall, for some reason the WSDL keeps putting the port of the website in IIS in the path, and as a result, gets blocked by the firewall (because all requests go through HTTP(S)). How can I prevent the WSDL file from automatically adding the port to the web servic ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Process Hook Failed" with Performance Explorer when using sampling on a specific app

  I've successfully used sampling with Perf Explorer on my app in the past, maybe a month or two ago. And I can use it successfully on several OTHER applications. I can also instrument, although it's too slow for my current needs- However, currently if I either launch or attach to the process with sampling, I receive a "Process Hook Failed" error. In Output, it successfully attaches, and then immediately exits. Any ideas I've searched in vain for any mention of this error message, and am now at the point of just randomly twiddling things to see if I can get it to work again. thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Scaling StrokeThickness problem

  In a previous thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=211255&SiteID=1 I was asking about the problem of the StrokeThickness scaling for engineering drawings, etc. I have tried several workarounds and all require each child of the canvas to have its StrokeThickness value altered to 1/Zoomfactor. This takes too long for the number of elements in a drawing leading to noticable delays when, for example, changing the zoom with the mouse wheel. Does anyone know if MS is going to have a modifier to disable scaling or e.g. a StrokeThickness of 0 to force a one pixel stroke, or similar Does anyone know of a ...Show All
