• SQL Server Variable error

  I'm trying to set up a simple package that can be run after other packages to move packagelog files to another folder(I'm doing this because it doesn't look like we can overwrite a package log file and I really don't want to have to manually keep these in check). Anyway, I've got a source variable and a destination variable. I'm using an expression to build these values in the File System Task. When I run the package I get this error : Error: 0xC0014054 at CopyPackageLog: Failed to lock variable "C:\Temp\MyPackageLog.xml" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is ...Show All

• .NET Development Waiting and Waiting and Waiting on email to publish

  I used this example from a previous thread and the code is still not operating correctly. If you publish the email and close the app, the email is sent pronto. If you keep the app open then the email is published in the next 5 minutes (painful). Thanks in advance!

• Visual Studio Rollcall -- Is anyone here???

  This place seems pretty dead....is it an actively supported resource for Microsoft info   Are there any Microsoft staff or at least any MVPs around here   Or should I be looking elsewhere for usefull information and discussion Even email to the address shown for "Jim Glass" is bouncing...

• SQL Server How to Delete Files on Maintenance Plan

  Hello, I am creating a Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2005. The 'Back Up Database Task' has the choice 'Create a sub-directory for each database' as SQL Server 2000 does. But when I add a 'Maintenance Cleanup Task' I do not see a choice to delete files on subdirectories. Looks like it only deletes the files from the directory I specify. So, looks like SQL Server 2005 is removing some functionality already available in SQL Server 2000. Is there a way to delete those files without needing to specify each directory I do not see any documentarion about xp_delete_file either. Thanks, Ben Nevarez I am ...Show All

• .NET Development Fill an unbound datgridview with access data

  I am struugling with some basic concepts here. I am trying to pull some data from an access mdb using a dataset, do some work with that data and then fill a datagridview with the results. The datagridview is unbound because I need to provide calculated coulmn headings (ie dates) - which I can do. I can do all elements seperately but cannot seem to combine them. How do I extract into a dataset, manipulate those rows ie loop through several times to fill a month of data and then send those new rows out to the DataGridView I suspect I am using the wrong technique - any ideas would be appreciated.

• Visual Studio How do I add custom Platforms?

  I'd like to use the VS IDE for developing applications on other platforms than the build-in ones. Say for example a 'Playstation 3' platform configuration. How can this be done Regards, Asger Hi Asger, In order to target a different platform, at a minimum, you would need to implement a custom project system that utilizes your build tools. To facilitate debugging the application on the target system, would require the development of a custom Debug Engine. The samples and libraries we ship with the Visual Studio SDK are built primarily to target Win32 and .Net, but it's certainly possible to integr ...Show All

• Visual C# collection of events ?

  Hi there, i have a little problem: I'm developing a hardware interface for digital input signals and i'm looking for a good solution to fire events on signal changing. I don't want to declare an event for every input channel (since it could be a lot of them). I'm thinking more of an array of events, so every client could register for specific events (e.g. instead of OnSignal3() something like OnSignal(3) ) If anyone has an idea how to handle it, please let me know ! Would it make sense in your application to define a collection of InputChannel objects, each of which raises an event, such as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office building solution containing VSTO on CruiseControl.NET?

  I'm trying to build a .NET 2.0 solution containing VSTO on CruiseControl.NET 1.0. I have the .NET 2.0 SDK installed and regular .NET projects build fine using msbuild. .NET 1.1 solutions with VSTO for VS2003 build fine as well. The 2.0 VSTO project fails because a number of files are missing. Fair enough, but there doesn't seem to be a VSTO SDK I could install. The VSTO runtime does not contain all the files required to build and I cannot install VSTO itself because there's no Office on my build server (it should be as clean as possible). I started by copying all the files it complained about, but I end up with an error message : C:\Pro ...Show All
