• .NET Development Log files and cans of worms

  Hi, I'm quite sure this could start a lot of arguements :p. If i am creating a log file that is constantly added to during the lifetime of my program, is it best to have a permanent Streamwriter object that i write to and then flush after each comment, or to spawn a new one each time i need to add to the log Or maybe there's some magical medium i haven't heard of Forget the postcards, just post your answers here instead.

• SQL Server Transport Failed to Connect to the Server

  I have several reports that run from MS SQL Reporting Services each day that are automatically mailed (subscriptions) to recipients in my department.

Since then my reports won't email to the intended recipients and they generate the error that is the subject of this posting. Where do I change MailMan to Postman in my server configuration ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP linked server issue

  We're using SQL Server for the majority of our applications, but our accounting package is still in VFP 8.0.  I need to make some costing adjustements from our inventory program.  I have linked the VFP database to SQL Server just fine and, using OPENQUERY, I can SELECT data without a hitch.  Performing an UPDATE or INSERT, however, is a different story.  I get the following error: "Server: Msg 7301, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inserting a record with a TimeStamp field

  Did anybody make it to insert an object with a TimeStamp field. When I try db.SubmitChanges() throws me: Argument types do not match. If I omit the timestamp field it works (however it won't protect me agains concurrency violations upon update or delete). Here is my timestamp property definition: protected System.Byte[] lastChange; [Column(Storage="lastChange", Name="LastChange", AutoGen=true, IsVersion=true)] public System.Byte[] LastChange { ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS in .NET 2005

• Software Development for Windows Vista Binding in XOML only workflows?

  Tom, I have converted a State Workflow to XOML only State workflow. It seems that the HandleExternalEvent activity does not set OrderSender object to a value. As a result sender parameter is null, but the e parameter is not null. This was not the case prior to converting the State workflow to XOML only workflow. Please review the XOML syntax and let me know if the binding syntax for OrderSender is not correct ---------------------------- ...Show All

• Visual C++ A simple CPP source file change caused entire solution to relink

  My group is new to VS05 and previously used VS 6.0. Several people in our group have had an ongoing battle with the compiler. It seems that when you make a simple change to a CPP source file that it will cause the entire solution to have to relink. We do have dependencies set between several projects within the solution, but if I am not changing a common header file or a method signature then I would not expect all of the project to need to be r ...Show All
