• Smart Device Development MDE: Pocket PC 2003 SE version has VBScript

  The Pocket PC 2003 SE version of the Emulator has VBScript 5.5 installed. The actual physical devices do not have this file, AFAIK. It's also an odd version: it is missing the MsgBox and InputBox statements. Thanks George. The device manufactors have an option of including/excluding components of the OS. For the emulator images we tried to be very inclusive (even the web server is in the box) as far as the image size permitted us. Thanks, Vladimir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can the configuration information in build type be customized

  Hi all, During create a build type, there are fields about configuration and platform information. Can these information be customized For example, I want to add/delete/change the values in the configuration and platform list. Thanks, Leon As I remember (I don't have TFS here right now to test it) you can select a value on the list, but also "write" it, if you are asking about that. And for a Build type already created, you have to modify the .proj file of the build type, you can find it in the source explorer, under the project which owns the build type, you have a folder Team Builds (or similar) and a folder f ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Deploy AdventureWorks AS Database using Instances of SQL and AS

  Hi all, Have just installed June CTP on a new laptop build and am having problems getting the AdventureWorks AS database deployed.  Using a named instance of SQL Server 2005 (which houses the AdventureWorksDW database) and a named instance of Analysis Services 2005 (which should be getting the deployed database). After opening the sample solution in BIDS, I changed the data source definition to point to my SQL Server 2005 instance (laptop\sql2005).  Tested fine.  Then modified the project properties to use the Analysis Services 2005 instance as the deployment location (also laptop\sql2005).  Everything looks fine, bu ...Show All

• Visual C# Monitoring a DB Table!

  Hi, It would be great if someone can provide me a better solution to this problem. I need to constantly monitor a sql table. If any new records are added to this table, I need to fetch the newly added records and process them. Right now I am using an infinite loop to do this in C#. Is there any other efficient way of doing this. It would be helpful if you could provide your solutions in C#. Thanks & Regards, Frenz Frenz, The processing can be done outside of SQL Server. However, you'll need to send a notification from SQL Server, because there's no event per se. The fact that you're u ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Flow Source for dbf (DBASE IV) files

  We're trying to read DBASE IV files as a source, but can't find any providers for that format. Will these be included in the final release Is there another way DBASE has always been supported, so it's kinda stranged. Thanks, Dirk Has anyone had any trouble moving a package using a OLE DB Connection Manager reading DBASE IV files While developing I never had a problem, the confiugration string described here worked just fine. Now I'm finding as I move my package to production I can't access any of the files. I will always get a error as follows... The AcquireConnection method call to the connection ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Parametric Animation

  Is there some documentation I can refer to concerning parametric animation What I would like to do is feed in the value of the animated property at every "tick" based on a function. Actually...what would be even sweeter would be to have a "parametric animation object" that takes a function pointer to my parametric equation and then handles the rest for me! But I'll stick with being pointed to some details on doing it by hand. :) While you can certainly accomplish this with CompositionTarget, I'm not convinced you need to move to that level yet. Why can't you create a custom AnimationTime ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView and posting changes to DataTable

  This problem appeared many times on this forum but in my case none of the solutions worked. The story is that changes do not appear in DataTable. dgv is bound to a dataset and DataMember has been assigned to a DataRelation (by its name). It views data fine, but when I type anything in dgv I can't see changes. I'm handling events TableNewRow and ColumnChanged. Those events are raised as they should when I change/add rows on dgv. When I don't press an arrow to go to the next datagridviewrow changes are not in the datatable. Before posting changes to database I'm trying to force saving data to datatable by tricks like dgv.Invalid ...Show All
