• Visual Basic 2005 .Net Nightmare

  As a visB programmer who has been happily coding very successful applications for many years, I have been shocked at the verbose incomprehensibility of the .net framework. Where is the wonderful Basic language that has served so well for so long Is there a way to disable all the garbage in VisB 2005 in order to just write simple single thread applications in the Visual Basic language I have been unable to get even the simplest microsoft SDK examples to run in .Net. I really don't want to invest in learning a language as complex and dense as the .Net applications, I don't believe I will ever need ANY of this functionality. The whole IDEA beh ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Problems searching with German IMEs

  I have found that when using a German language keyboard, I sometimes receive no search results for terms that yield several results if the keyboard language is U.S. English, or anything else for that matter. For example, a search for the term "ipass" yields 623 results on my machine with English as the keyboard, but 0 results when the keyboard is switched to German (Germany). A search for "ipas" returns the expected set of results. I have tried the latest version of WDS Enterprise, and also the current 2.6.5 beta. With the current release version, the term "telekonferenz" would return no results, but "te ...Show All

• Visual C# passing a string (varchar) to a stored procedure

  Hello, I am using VS 2003 and SQL 2005. I can successfully pass an integer to a stored procedure and have it execute correctly, however when I try to pass a parameter with a string, it bombs out when trying to load my dataset. If I run the stored procedure directly on the server, it works great and returns the two rows, its just passing it in C# where it fails. It is a simple query looking for any row with the last name of "Brown". Here is my SP. ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo] .

• SQL Server Decoding Decimal Form of HRESULT from ErrorCode

  I have an OLE-DB Command transformation that inserts a row. If the insert SQL command fails for some reason, I use the "Redirect Row" option to send the row to another OLE-DB Command transformation that logs the error on that row to a "failed rows" table. In this table I log the ErrorCode and ErrorColumn values that come with the error path from the first OLE-DB Command. OK, that's all working great. However, here's the kicker: there's no error description value. The ErrorCode value, naturally, is the decimal form of an HRESULT--for example, -1071607696. Without some further information, however, this code is not useful f ...Show All
