• Visual Studio MSDN Installation target directory

  Hi, I need to create an unattended installation of MSDN and I need to put the files on an other disk (i.e. D:\MSDN\). I was unable to find the MSI variable to use to change the target directory. At one point I used "TARGETDIR=D:\MSDN\" and it only created the folder without copying anything to it. It put everything in "C:\Program Files\MSDN\". Can anyone help me with this Regards.

• Windows Forms how to clean out the dataset.tables("xxxx")

  I have to clean the dataset.tables("myTable") using dataset.tables.clear(). It works fine when that table has data. However, if the table is empty, there is run time error. So, how to check if the dataset table is empty or not. In VB6, you ...Show All

• SQL Server Sharepoint integrated mode in SP2

  Hi, I listened to the first half of Mr. Welcker's Reporting Services Management and Security webcast yesterday, which was great. (First half because a meeting came up: I will listen to the rest when it comes out as a WMV). However, he made a few references to a SharePoint integrated mode that will come out with SP2 later in the year, that he'd talked about earlier at TechEd. However I'd like to know more about what this involves. I'm guessing th ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Spaces instead of tabs in auto-generated code for MFC projects

  Does anyone know whether it is possible to let VS use spaces instead of tabs when generating code for MFC applications I changed the 'Tab' settings under Tools/Options/Text Editor/All Languages/Tabs to insert spaces but, as expected, that only affects the editor itself, not the code generator. As I want to use an external editor, I would prefer 3 spaces instead of tabs being used in the auto-generated code. Regards, Siggy ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem: Reporting using Report Model

  I'm having a reporting problem when using the report model as my data source. I was able to duplicate the problem by trying to create a report dataset using the ModelTutorial (based on the AdventureWorks database) as my data source. For example, say you wanted to get all products which have illustrations. The query shown below would retrieve the 23 rows as expected (don't worry about duplicate products for this example). SELECT P.ProductID ...Show All

• Visual J# Adding a single char to a String

  How is that done. I have in the code String str char op and I wan't to add op to str. There are a number of ways you can do this. In general, using a StringBuffer is the best approach if you are going to do lots of manipulations (as opposed to just one). The string class has a Concat function but it doesn't handle value types like char so you end up having to convert op to an object. Still, Concat would be a good choice if op ...Show All

• .NET Development Listbox.Items.RemoveAt question/problem - possible solution
