• SQL Server SSIS error listing

  Is there a list of all the SSIS Error codes and what they mean Ex. -1071607778 is an error code output when a lookup task fails to find a match. I haven't been able to find any information on the different error codes. Is there a description file or enumeration file that exists somewhere I think it's still hex, the L at the end is usually included in literals to denote the size of the integer - i.e. L = long, whatever that may be for the platform, 32bits in this case I'd imagine. -S ...Show All

• Smart Device Development deploy "non-exe" files

  Hello! First, I'm sorry if this questions is already posted elsewhere. Second, here is my problem: I have a Smartphone 2003 project developed in VS.NET 2005. I have an xml file I would like to deploy toghether with the .exe on emulator (I tried to deploy on device but it's also not working). This link: http://blogs.msdn.com/sivarv/archive/2005/09/16/468529.aspx is not helping me. Right now, for developing purposes, I copy the xml file on device then, inside the code, I use a hard-coded path to this file (not very elegant). Thank you for your answer, Augustin Calin Ensure that the file is included in your project, select ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataBinding to ComboBox, setting to -1 index

  I am making a database interface with VS 2003.  I use a bunch of comboboxes so that the user can select from a list of items stored in the database.  For example, a user chooses a Tester for a particular test, the list of Testers is in a seperate table.  I am generating the combobox list with databinding, but I want to have it default to -1 index, just like a combobox does when you manually add items.  I have tried setting the index to -1 manually in code after my databinding, but there are some strange results.  The comboboxes will display the item in 0 index after setting the index to -1.  I check the Selected ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabControl / TabPages and control events when edit via PropertyGrid

  Hi, I'm writing an app that has a limited designer mechanism... I ran into a small problem.  When you add TabPages to a TabControl via the property grid, the ControlAdded / ControlRemoved events fire many times.  This is a problem for me because I have an event-based Undo / Redo system, and I'm recording extra events.  I understand why the events are firing extra times:  so that the TabControl can repaint while the TabPages are being edited.  Here's how it works:  When you add a TabPage, ControlAdded gets fired.  Then, when you click OK, each TabPage is removed, causing ControlRemoved to be fired ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005/VSS 2005 - Error while checking (HTTP)

  I read thru this forum and finally had the Internet access setup. The server is not in the same LAN as the client computer.

• SQL Server Multi-user issues with SSRS2000

  Hi, At our company we are looking at implementing SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services into our internet application. Having followed your book, and produced a dozen reports, I have found a problem with calling reports in a multi-user environment. Some of the reports that our customers want can run to over 100 pages which, whilst a large number, is a requirement. I have found that when two people call one of these large reports at the same time; one of the users gets the error "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection". Once the worker process begins to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IIS in vista build 5231

  I'm having trouble installing IIS in vista build 5231.  Per www.open-node.net/archive/2005/10/17/1164.aspx  I tried the following: start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServerFeature;IIS-FTPServerFeature /p:c:\packages\Ultimate\Microsoft-Windows-IIS-WebServer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.5231.2 However, I did not get any return message. pkgmgr / shows the command line options, so the utility exists. However, the /l option does not produce a log file. Any ideas I had the same results at first as well.  This command worked for me: start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing value of DataPicker control ?

  While trying to get up to speed with Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express I ran into the following problem and hope someone can explain to me what I can do to correct the problem. I created the following SQL query in a Table Adapater (i.e. "WagesEarnedTableAdapter") with the name "ComputeHoursWorked". After creating it I tested it by typing in the values "1" for @EmployeeID and "1/21/2006" for @WeekEndingDate. Everything worked fine and the correct value was returned. SELECT SUM(HoursWorked) AS HoursWorked FROM Projects WHERE (EmployeeID = @EmployeeID) AND (WeekEndi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Random behaviour with ITaskItem[]

  I have a target that I pass an ItemGroup to. I then call a task that takes this ItemGroup as a parameter and a ITaskItem as another parameter. Sometimes, if I pass an ITaskItem[] to the ITaskItem parameter, MSBuild is clever enough to realise that I want the task called once for each item in the ItemGroup. Most of the time, however, I get this error: Multiple items cannot be passed into a parameter of type "Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem" Anyone any ideas why this behaviour would be so random Okay, it appears to be related to transforms and the Outputs parameter. If I specify ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF vs Pipelines and Filters

  I need to develop a system which uses ideas similar to Martin Fowlers' Pipelines and Filters pattern in his Enterprise Integration book, where a filter enriches messages from other sources. Is this pattern still feasible with WCF Does a pipeline represent a WCF channel I'm not sure how the main building blocks of WCF map to that pattern Where to the Endpoints fit Where do Bindings fit Channels, etc. How would I implement multiple pipelines to create a process with filters in between I could see how it all fits together with remoting, just gap doesn't seem to be as well defined with WCF, it's like it's already 2/3s done, I just don't ...Show All

  Hi I want my MDI application to have it's menu in tree view form at the left of my main form. When i pick a menu option in the tree viewon the left, I want it's child form to open on the right. My problem is that when i maximize my child form, it fills the entire parent form, instead of the portion of parent form that is to the right of my tree view menu.
