• SQL Server Data integration challenge. Will SSIS help?

  Hi, We have a requirement to do ETL on large EDI batch files into SQL Server. For this we have to map several X12 schemas - which are fairly complex - into relational schema. Right now they use Biztalk but that is not a good option for batch processing of large EDI files. Performance is really bad. Is this possible using SSIS Are there any 3rd party tools which might integrate with SSIS to make this easier or can do this as a stand-alone I know Mapforce 2005 from Altova supports X12 mapping and even generates C# code for the mapping. Anyone has experience in using Mapforce generated C# code in SSIS Looking forward to any insigh ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to get vga device emulation

  none of the shortcuts emulate a hidpi device, i.e. vga. i created my own shortcut using the command line args, set video to 480x640x16 and it gave a vga screen, but it was not 'hidpi', it was the same as running sevga on a true vga device, i.e. not what the user normally sees. anyone got proper emulation of a wm2003se vga device I was using the 2.0 version, but I tried the 1.0 too, didn't work.

• SQL Server Making use of RGDI output

  According to the Reporting Services feature matrix, the image output that Report Server Express has is something called RGDI.  From what I've gathered, RGDI stands for Remote GDI. What is the RGDI file format useful for   I don't know the proper file extension to give the file, nor do I know what viewer can view it. Is there some way to convert the RGDI format to a more universally accepted file format such as .tif, .gif, .jpg, etc...   I'm hoping that I can just capture the binary stream, and convert the stream to a different image format before saving the file. Thanks! Brian, I would like to save the results of a Rende ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to make a TextBox to AutoSize in a Grid?

  When I put a TextBox into a StackPanel it automatically sets its height to ensure that you can read the current font. How can I get this behaviour in a Grid ATM: I have the problem that the text looks different on Vista (Segoe UI, 9pt) and XP (Tahoma 8pt). I can't read the text on XP systems but can read it on vista ... Now I always use independent values for Size, Width and Height (not pt, px or something like that) but still I have to assign a manual height to all TextBoxes (26,4 on XP). are you using RowDefinition in your grid   if so, try setting the row's height to "Auto". also, whatever container your Grid is in might have ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas, Rectangles, ClipToBounds slowness

  We are thinking about starting a new moderately complex graphical application in WPF. But before committing to the platform, we are testing features to see if WPF can handle it. >:) One test application so far has a Canvas with ~800 Rectangles (added with C# using “canvas.Children.Add(..)”. These rectangles are movable by dragging them… implemented with Canvas.SetLeft(rect, newLeft) and Canvas.SetTop(..) from the MouseMove handler. I need some tips on how to speed this up. Currently dragging a single rectangle around causes 100% utilization with 20 FPS on a Xeon 2.8GHz… even turning down to 50 rectangles seems ...Show All

• Windows Forms dynamically creating a ContextMenuStrip

• Visual C# Accessibility level?

  public class x { internal struct y { } protected internal x(y param) {} } This gives the error that the type y is less accessible than the constructor. But I believe that internal is more accessible than protected internal. If I make the constructor internal only, it compiles. I'd think it's trivial that adding protected to it makes it less accessible, so why the error That struct really needs to be internal and that constructor really needs to be protected, is there a way to do it or is this a compiler bug No protected internal is more accessible. With PI you are allowing any type in the current assembl ...Show All

  Hi, I have a DataGridView and reorder columns manually. I was wondering how to get the ordered columns of the DataGridView The columns list only holds them the way they were added. Thanks The DataGridViewColumn class also exposes a DisplayIndex property which indicates the order of appearance of the columns in the grid. If you have 10 columns in your grid, each column has a DisplayIndex property between 0 and 9. Each columnhas a unique DisplayIndex value. Hope this helps. -regis ...Show All
