• SQL Server cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode with Oracle

  I keep getting the error message below when attempting to import a text file (flat file) to an SQL Server Destination using SSIS. This database has recently been migrated from SQL Server 2000 (where I used a DTS Package that worked fine). I plan on doing further manipulation to the file after importing but have so far tried to keep one step at a time. I have tried using a smaller files and different tables but still get a similar response. I believe that the encoding of the text file is ANSI. If it is relevant the database collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS (the same as it was when 2000). Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciate ...Show All

• Visual Basic Searching through MS - Word files of different versions (2002/2003)

  Hi, I hope someone can help me solve my problem. I'm using VB.NET Standard 2003, and am trying to create a piece of code that will search for a specific word through an ms-word file, and will open the file if it indeed contains that word. I want the program to be able to do this for both Word 2002 and Word 2003, without the user telling it what version he has installed on him computer. Now, I'm a bit new to programming, so if you have an answer for me, please don't assume i know what imports to use or what "coms" are, because i probably don't :) Any help would be appreciated, I've been working on this for a very long time ...Show All

• Visual Studio IDE facility to suppress some debug notification messages missing in B2?

  I felt sure that B1 had options to suppress some of the notification messages (such as loading DLLs, thread exit status, etc) that you often see in the Output pane when debugging. I can't find these options in B2. Did they ever exist (do they now ) or have I imagined them We moved these options to a different location. In Beta 1, they were in Tools->Options->Debugging->General. In B2, we moved these to the context menu of the Output window. In order to suppress any of these messages, right-click the Output window and uncheck any of the options. The main reason for moving these options was to i) red ...Show All

• .NET Development ado.net 2.0 Fill method fails silently (bug?)

  Please help me if you can. Using VS 2005, windows form. I have a dataset with a few tables, some of which are bound to datagrids.  When the form loads, the datasets are filled with data from SQL Server stored procedures.  No problem so far. I have a procedure which processes data (using stored procs), after which I re-fill the dataset, using the same code as successfully fills the dataset when the form loads. But... the fill method fails (silently) when called after the processing. Likewise, if I trigger the fill methods with a button click, the code fails to fill the dataset. However, if I step through (not over) th ...Show All

• Visual C# Typing in Visual Studio 2005 Text Editor is extremely slow

  Has anyone else noticed that typing in Visual Studio 2005 is extremely slow   Whey I type it seems that the screen is always 2 words behind where my hands are.  It makes it extremely frustrating to get anything done. I'm mainly referring to C# code.  It seems like Intellisense is going nuts trying to guess every word I'm going to type and never actually prints the characters to the screen. Has anyone else experienced this   Is there an option I can turn off to get my text editor back ! By the way, I have a very fast computer with Dual 3.0 GHz Zeons with 3GB memory and everything else that should make "typing" very fast. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing: Call Context is lost

  i need to store application information so i can reuse it in the next test. but when i execute a series of (unit) tests it seems that each test is executed in a complete new environment thus loosing any information such as the call context. since i'm storing relevant application information in the call context this information gets recalculated before every test what is very time consuming. i don't understand the reason for this behaviour; is it on purpose or am i doing something wrong sorry for not answering so long - i didn't see your response. here's a simple repro (quick and dirty from my mind - hop ...Show All

• .NET Development Control for making graphics

  I'm making a program now. It's mission is makig graphics of all types of functions. Now it's time to chose what control I need for making graphics It must be a white rectangle, where I will be able to draw lines and points for graphics. I also want to export my graphics from this control to .BMP format. I am using .NET 2005. Of course, I can easily use Form_Paint and some functions from System.Drawing namespace.
