Visual Basic "ActiveX component can't create object" when debugging an ActiveX COM object
I'm trying to test out my ActiveX DLL on an ASP webpage before I go ahead and compile it to keep myself from having to reboot IIS several times whilst I work out the bugs. However everytime I run the script while the IDE is executing the DLL I get " ActiveX component can't create object" However, if I stop the IDE and run the script I get "Server.CreateObject Failed" So I know something is partially working. My next step was I tried creating a project group and added a second project to the mix in order to test out the DLL that way through the IDE and it functions just fine. (Using the Creat ...Show All

Visual Studio Tools for Office Adding Smart Tag interferes with ActionsPane layout
Hi, I am experiencing the following weird behavior. I create a user control that has nothing but a button right in the middle of it. The button is anchored LEFT + TOP + RIGHT, so as the user control's width changes, so does the buttons. I then add the user control to the ActionsPane. The following is a picture of how the ActionsPane so far http://pic.atpic.com/154853/0/jtfgimzxcdylugbmebyq Clicking on the button adds a Smart Tag to the document. The code for adding the Smart Tag works and throws no exceptions. It's a Smart Tag for dates, the dates are successfully recognized in the document and all the custom actions appear ...Show All
Visual C# Weired behavior of Timer
OK, this is driving me nuts: I'm changing the size of a form, when a button gets clicked. The actual changing is delayed by a timer... just for an nice effect. :-) This works fine the first time. When clicking another buttons, the form goes back to its original size. And clicking the first button again, it will change its size... When the first button gets clicked the second time, the form doesn't resize as smooth, as it did the first time. Seems the like the whole form gets repainted every timer, the Timer.Tick() event gets called. Why is this I already tried the following: - Using just one timer for both buttons - Using two different timer ...Show All
SQL Server SSIS Custom Component DerivedColumn programmatically problems
dear experts, i'm trying to build a package programmatically from client c# application. I'm working to create three dataflow components: - OleDB Source - Derived Column Transformations - OleDb Destination. My package works good, but i have several problems when insert an expression as Value of an IDTSCustomPropriety90 object, like this one: [LEN](#firsname.lineageID) > 5 <<if true>> : <<if false>> Simple expressions like concatenate strings, for example "#firstname.lineageID" + "#lastname.lineageID" seem to work good.

SQL Server DTS DB2 Dates 0001-01-01
Hi, I am trying to transfer a table from DB2 to SQLServer 2000 through a DTS package. The DB2 table contains fields with default dates of "0001-01-01". The DTS package errors out whenever it reads this date as "invalid data value". In SQLServer 2000, the date fields are of type ShortDateTime. I have searched the Internet but did not find a workable solution. Please, can anyone help me find a solution Older applications sometimes used dates like '9999-12-31' or '0001-01-01' to signify that the date was either NULL, invalid or not-entered. If DB2 is using that date as a valid point in t ...Show All
Visual FoxPro BLINK
Looking at the result of DISPLAY STATUS command I found that my "BLINK" was ON. I cannot find anywhere in the help any mentioning of it. I am very much interested in exploiting this property, I assume it is a property somehwere My hunch is that if blink is on for let say a textbox then the color of this textbox will change rythmically or something. There was a comparable property in Visual dBase though I've never used it. My recollection is that it did not work well and I've never actually debugged it. What is the meaning of it Thanks. Alex, It's a leftover from fox2x days. No effect. I suggest not to ...Show All

Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions
I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relationships are drawn. Instructions are to click on this and do that. One creates table adapters and and dataadapers and with these apparoaches everything seems quite removed from what really happening. Al ...Show All
