• SQL Server SSIS in .NET 2005

  Hi All, I have a .NET 2005 application that uses SSIS programming class library to load and execute SSIS package stored in SQL Server 2005 (in msdb). I created the setup project that added automatically all the dlls required for that, and it is all included in .NET 2.0 as far as I know. Now, every thing goes OK on the development machine (XP SP2) against local SQL Server 2K5. But I deploy the application in another machine as a client machine (XP SP2 or Windows 2003) to connect to that SQL Server I get an error when the code tries to load the SSIS package. I use the method LoadFromSqlServer to lo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Will there be a new GetOpenFileName API that wraps/calls IFileDialog?

  Similar to the way PrintDlg calls PrintDlgEx behind the scenes in 2000/XP when you don't have a hookproc, is there going to be something similar where you call legacy APIs such as GetOpenFileName and somehow it encapsulates or calls down to IFileDialog (IFileOpenDialog) From what I saw in the PDC video here: http://microsoft.sitestream.com/PDC05/DAT/DAT307.htm#nopreload=1&autostart=1 there is a ton of COM client code that needs to be written and also some knowledge of Shell concepts such as PIDLs, just to bring up an IFileDialog. The presenter mentions that "post-Beta 2" this is going to change By how much Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debug JScript in an ASP.NET app with Visual Studio 2005

  I posted this under .NET development earlier today, but perhaps it would be more appropriate here. I have recently installed the trial version of Visual Studio 2005, Professional Edition. I have converted an ASP application of mine (developed with Frontpage 2003) to ASP.NET and after correcting a number of incompatibilities it works correctly. However I have noticed that while I can set breakpoints and debug my VB pages, I can not set any breakpoints or figure out how to do any debugging with the JScript pages. The toggle breakpoint command is grayed out in JScript pages. Is this related to the lack of support for JScript in the Language ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Bug in VFP 9? Adding an object to an array with AddObject.

  We have this base class that basically implements a collection (I know there are collections in VFP, but we can't change this overnight). Part of the process is to add an object to an array. This code word flawlessly on VFP6 for years. this.ItemCount = this.ItemCount + 1 Dimension this.Item[this.ItemCount] Local cItemPlace cItemPlace = "Item[" + LTrim(Str(this.ItemCount)) + "]" this.AddObject(cItemPlace, this.ItemClassName, &tInitParameters) We are now preparing to upgrade our systems to VFP 9 and during the testing we get an "Object name is invalid" error on the line that adds the object. This error occurs very rare (maybe once ev ...Show All

• SQL Server ~* Allowing Users to select the Fields to be displayed in report *~

  Hi, Is there any way to allow the users to select the fields to be displayed in report and apply format for the same. I don't want any aspx page to be used for this. Is there any tool from microsoft which can do the same.. thanks in advance. Cheers Chakri. You could use a Multi-select parameter which is a list of all field names. In the visible function of each column of your table, check for the existence of that field's name in the parameter to conditionally show or hide it. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005 sucks!!

  I have been using vS2003 for a couple years now. I upgraded to 2005 thinking I'd be getting a better environment with more up to date libraries and tools. What I ended up with is an environment that takes 3 or 4 minutes to open for me to start working. Another 4 or 5 minutes to open my tiny PDA application with 4 forms in it. Errors that make no sense about such and such not existing as a function of a class, yet the editor itself finds every step of the command as you type it. Again, this all worked perfectly in 2003, no code changes, but what I'm left with is not a single project that I can sucessfully compile and an envrionment that ...Show All

• .NET Development FileSystemWatcher and FileStream.Flush(); no notifications until Close().

  I don't know if this is an OS limitation, a problem with the FileSystemWatcher, or just me.  If I use the FileStream class to open a file, seek to a specific position, write some data, and flush the buffer, FileSystemWatcher is oblivious to the change until I call FileStream.Close! If I view the file attributes and contents after the flush and before the close I see that the last file write date/time has changed the the contents have changed. Same thing happens in Visual Studio if I load the file I'm writing to into Visual Studio: Visual Studio does not inform me the file has changed until FileStream.Close is called.
