• SQL Server Making "incremental" updates to a data warerhouse

  We have a legacy database whose data needs to be included in our yet-to-be-built sql 2005 data warehouse. Some of the tables don’t have any natural candidates for a primary key. (Of course, we also need to add other data to the mix.) Suppose we load the empty warehouse initially. In following loads we don’t want to include those records that haven’t changed from the first load (“duplicates”) but we also don’t want to delete the conte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installing Team Foundation Server Beta 2

  I just completed downloading Team Foundation Server Beta 2. The Installation Guide notes that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 in a prerequisite and that only the April CTP is supported. However, I haven't seen an April CTP of SQL Server available on MSDN. Will it be posted shortly or am I just missing its location in the tree It would appear you are correct. I just spoke with someone at Microsoft about it and they said it's coming soon. Paul ...Show All

• Smart Device Development setting WebBrowser.DocumentText in a Navigating event handler

  I have an application that uses a Windows Forms WebBrowser class as its display mechanism, using hyperlinks for navigation.  I then capture the URL in the Navigating event and change the display based on what the URL says.  I've experienced a series of bugs/problems doing this on the .NET compact framework, although it works perfectly on XP. With CF 2.0 beta 2 running both in the Pocket PC 2003 emulator and in my Pocket PC device (ver ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Day Time Picker little trouble.

  Back in Visual dBase days we used regular spinners for dates but here in Fox the spinners do not seem to like dealing with anything but numeric values. I placed three day/time picker controls on two different containers that are supposed to become visible or invisible depending on some buttons being pressed. I am certain the pickers' parents are the containers however when I make the containers invisible (setting .visible to .F.) the pickers sta ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you export SQL 2005 Maintenance Plans?

  I am in SQL management studio right now and I have created a maintenance plan. However I see no way of exporting that maintenance plan so I can install it on another SQL 2005 server. I would normally expect to right click on my maintenace plan and have the ability to import or export, that feature is not there. Infact I have found that there are a lot of features missing from management studio, in general it lacks a lot of the right click functi ...Show All

• Visual C# Displaying files in Firefox

  Hey guys, I need some help. I have a system where the users of my site can upload files. Once they are uploaded, a link is displayed that they can click on to open a new window to display that file (to look it over). It works perfectly fine in IE, but in Firefox it shows the file + the HTML code for the page.

• Windows Forms use ActiveX ctrl if available

  That must be a common scenario, but I have not found anything about it: I want to use an ActiveX control if it is available, e.g. the "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" to export some data shown on the screen to Excel and show the new document. If the ActiveX control is not installed, so probably office is not installed, I do not want to offer that feature in that installation. What is the right way to approach this scenario ...Show All
