• Visual Studio Fatal Error HXC2064: Unable to initialize the full-text index engine. Reason code 205.

  Hi, I cannot compile Help 2.0 files anymore. Whether I use NDoc or HelpStudio, I got the following message : Fatal Error HXC2064 : Unable to initialize the full-text index engine. Reason code 205. I have found this FAQ http://helpware.net/mshelp2/h2faq.htm#HXC2064 and tried to register the listed dlls without success. The targeted assembly is small and do not contain tons of comments. Any ideas Gildas Gildas: Have you been able to resolve this issue on your own by any chance If not, do you mind filing a bug on Product Feedback Center at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx Sorry I can' ...Show All

• Visual C++ Deploying a VS 2005 C++ application

  I have written an ISAPI wildcard extension that watches for specific content comming through the server. I wrote it using VC.NET 2005 and I am using MFC and Managed Code. Because of the managed code, I have to link the MFC as a shared libarary and this is where I get into trouble. I installed the redistributables and .NET 2.0 on the server and installed our files, however when we attempt to access the server we get the error "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." In the event log I get the following errors: Generate Activ ...Show All

• Architecture Visio and UML 2.0

  Are there any plans to realize UML 2.0 specification in Visio Thanks Dim Hi, I don't work at Microsoft, but from what it seems, Microsoft is pushing towards using DSLs instead of UML notation, so it doesn't seems there will be an update to the visio's uml template. If you want to use UML my advice to you - try other tools (such as sparx EA, rational tools etc). Ido. ...Show All

• SQL Server Passing parameters to Oracle stored procedure

  Hi, How can I pass input parameters to the Oracle storeprocedure from Reporting services. Can any one help me in this Regards, RajeshJV There have been a few related threads on this forum recently, but here is my summary of advice: First, make sure that you are running at least RS 2000 with SP1 installed on report designer and report server. Or use RS 2005. Check the following article for general information about how to connect to Oracle from RS: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;834305 For stored procedures use " Oracle " as data source type which will give you the managed provide ...Show All

• SQL Server How to cast empty string

  I want to replace a column value with a null if the string is empty. I would have thought this simple expression would do it: RTRIM([FromContractSymbol]) == "" NULL(DT_STR, 0, 1252) : (DT_STR, 6, 1252)FromContractSymbol Yet, I get the following error: For operands of the conditional operator, the data type DT_STR is supported only for input columns and cast operators. The expression "...see above..." has a DT_STR operand that is not an input column or the result of a cast, and cannot be used with the conditional operation. The expression works if I replace the NULL(DT_STR, 0, 1252) with say "A" and ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with concurrent insert and update commands

  I've got a quite simple data task. It extracts data from source, performs a few lookups and finally redirects the rows based on whether they should be inserted to or updated (if they already exists but has been changed) in the destination database (which is hosted by sql server 2005 sep CTP). I use a conditional split transform, which splits the rows in two separate outputs: - the first goes to an ole db destination which simply inserts the rows into a database - the second one goes to an ole db command which updates the same database Everything is doing well as long as there are just rows of one type, I mean only rows that s ...Show All

• SQL Server A/Synchronous execution of SSIS ETL packages

  Hi I'd like to know if there's a way to control the execution of ETL packages, such that: Different packages, or at least packages that don't access the same table or database run asynchronously with respect to each other; e.g., two different packages run at the same time and If a package is called for execution more than once by different requests, force them to run synchronously, or one after the other. If this is possible, what resources would it require Is this possible under, say, a dual or quad processor machine Thanks. Well, there is nothing to stop you running 2 packages concurrently (i.e. at the same time). They run as sep ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing array into Constructor

  Hey guys, I'm using C# 2.0 and thought I would take advantage of the new params keyword (I might not even need it if someone can show me another way). I'm making a custom class that handles files that our customers upload via the upload control. I want to only allow certain types of files to be uploaded, and was going to leave this up to the consumer of this object to specify in the contructor what file types they would like to allow from a predifined list. i.e. UploadFile_strict(msWord, msExcel) or just UploadFile_strict(msWord) I  want to allow: msWord doc msExcel doc text file csv file I've made them private variables like s ...Show All
