• SQL Server Set log message within script task

  I have a script task in my control flow that does some validation checking. If one of those checks fails, I want to fail the task and send an appropriate message via email. I've accomplished this by updating a package that is then used as the source for the email message. However I also want my message text to appear in the package ...Log.xml file. Currently it only says that the script task returned a failure result. There must be some way to do this, and I hope some guru out there can help me. Thanks, Phil Perfect Doug - thanks. I too was stumped as to where I could find 'ScriptTaskLogEntry'. After reading ...Show All

• .NET Development Match between keywords

  I have little familiarity with RegEx and I am sure that it would be easier to write some regex stuff than parsing out a string. I have some strings that are in the form of "{3:2}" or even "{3:2} OR {3:48}" or the OR could be an AND.  So I need to pass a parameter of 3 and for the first expression get a 2 in return in the latter case I would expect a return of "2 OR 48" Thanks There's a program called Expresso, which you can download here : http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Expresso.asp It makes it really easy to develop regular expressions In this case one solution, which could probably use some work, ...Show All

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi, I am just starting programming using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have had some limited practice in other languages and older versions of C++, so I have some idea whats going on but not much... Anyway I made a short program which perfroms a bubble sort on an array of numbers which the user enters (I know its nothing to write home about but its a start), it works fine on my PC and when I sent it to a freind who also had VC++ 2005 Express Edition it worked fine for him. However I then sent it to a freind without it (in a fairly poor attempt to persuade him to download it) , and my program didn't work on his PC giving the error: ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview

  Hello I have made a text for a foreach loop. There I have looked to the row.Index behaviour When I have three items and AllowUserAddRows is thrue the index goes from 0 to 3. When AllowUserAddRows is false the index goes from 0 to 2 This means the empty row is taken with the validations in the foreach loop I think. Greeting. Dik, Yes, this is the correct behavior. There is a "virtual" row present when you can add rows to the grid. Erik ...Show All

• .NET Development When to use TableAdapter.Update(DataTable) method?

  I'd like to know how can I use the TableAdapter.Update method so that I can update the database that I use whenever a user adds, modifies or deletes a row in a datagridview control. I suppose that I should handle the CurrentItemChanged event of the BindingSource that the DataGridView uses but I'd like to see a full example. In other words I'd like to create a WinForms application with a DataGridView that has the same capabilities as the DataGrid form for the Sql Tables in the Sql Server Management Studio. I know that it's a lot to ask but nevertheless this is something that is missing from the .NET Framework examples and walkthroughs. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to dynamically change the fields on a form

  Hi, As I am about to develop an IT Asset Tracking system I wanted to know how to change fields on a form on the fly. For example, suppose I click on the Add New Asset button, the Add New Asset form will then appear. On this screen, I may have some selectable combos such as Item Type and Model. By default my item type will be Desktop PC and the fields for a desktop PC will be displayed for entry. After I save this and then decide to add another new asset and select Printer as my Item Type, how can I display the relevant fields for this item type on the same form. Do I need to create separate forms for each type of item or can I use o ...Show All
