• SQL Server Migrating a Legacy Maintenance Plan?

  Has anyone been able to migrate a Legacy Maintenance Plan to the Integration Services style I'm using the SQL 2005 RTM, right-clicking the Legacy Maintenance Plan, and selecting "Migrate..." After a few seconds, it presents the error "Input string was not in the correct format. (mscorlib)" The only thing that sticks out in SQL Profiler is this statement: SELECT s.log_shipping AS [LogShipping] FROM msdb.dbo.sysdbmaintplans AS s WHERE (s.plan_name=N'MaintenancePlan1') and this error message: Invalid column name 'log_shipping'. but these happened near the beginning of the trace/action.

• Visual Studio Team System WebTest - Custom validation on a request

  Hello All, I am currently doing an authentication test. What I want to check is that I have correctly the HTTP Status to Unauthorized or Forbidden when I try to log with incorrect credentials. My problem is that when I give incorrect credentials, my request automatically fails. So I was thinking to do something like: public override IEnumerator < WebTestRequest > GetRequestEnumerator() { WebTestRequest request1 = new WebTestRequest ( "http://localhost/Web_pst/RechercheDossier.aspx" ); request1.Method = "POST" ; FormPostHttpBody request1Body = new FormPostHttpBody (); request1Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "txtNomClient" , ...Show All

• .NET Development Need some suggestions about picking a 64 bit workstation

  I'm investigating picking up a 64 bit workstation in the next few weeks. So my question is which would be better, AMD64 or the new P4 6xx series Has anyone tried the 64 bit sdk on either machine Any isses with WinXP 64 (other then the fact it's beta code) and .NETFX64 that could be a show stopper Thanks, Jason ------------ Lois: You're drunk again. Peter: No, I'm just exhausted 'cause I've been up all night drinking. Hi, I think AMD has been selling 64-bit processors for quite a while and hence its a safer choice. I am personally running a Workstation based on Athlon64 3200+ and its been a good experience ...Show All

• Visual C++ Working with threads

  I usually work with threads in such way: using namespace System::Threading; Thread *oThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart(0, &myClass::myStaticFunction)); oThread->Start(); And this works fine. But now I need to run non-static function. So, I think the code must me like this: using namespace System::Threading; Thread *oThread = new Thread( new ThreadStart(0, &myClass::myNonStaticFunction)); oThread->Start(); But this does not works. I've got an error: error C3351: 'System::Threading::ThreadStart' : if you pass a NULL object instance to a delegate constructor you must also pass the address of a stati ...Show All

• .NET Development Forcibly unload an interop assembly w/ blocked unmanaged thread?

  I have the situation where I think my 3rd-party unmanaged COM object, which has opened a critical system resource, is blocked on a thread or something. In C#, .NET 2.0, I call FinalReleaseComObject() on my object, which returns 0, and then set the varible to null. I tried forcing a garbage collection and it didn't work (I know, it's bad, but I'm trying everything). Watching it run via depends.exe, I see all my other 3rd-party COM DLLs unload but not the one in question. Another twist is that this is a .NET 2.0 user control hosted in IE6. For some reason, I thought that IEHost would have shutdown the appdomain and thus forcibly unloaded ...Show All

Also, is there a way to have a signal set in order to update the position of a slider bar with the video position Finally is there a way to frame skip backwards We know that IFrameStep has the Step( x ) function, and that it does not support backward skipping. However, is there a way to jump directly to a particular frame Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop and VS2003

  First let me say that I really appreciate all the work done on FxCop. Its a very helpful tool. However, the integration into VS2005 needs to be back-ported to VS2003. it does not have to be "exactly" like 2005, but it can come close. Here are a few ideas on how this can be accomplished. 1) Provide an AddIn that gives the user a context menu for the projects so code analysis can be run. Sure, you can put it on the "Tools" menu, but that is not as helpful considering most of the other things related to the project are on the context menu. running NUnit and NCover are so much simplier using TestDriven.NET, and I think adding FxCop to that ...Show All
