• SQL Server how to change data types in Excel source file?

  I'm getting a bit lost in SSIS. I've got an Excel source file that I'm trying to load into a table. I keep getting validation errors that warn about not being able to convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types. I'm trying figure out where I have to change this and am frankly confused. It seems SSIS is selecting various columns as unicode/WSTR data types, but I want them to import as regular string types. On the Data Flow tab in SSIS, I right-click on the source Data Flow component (the Excel file) and select Show Advanced Editor. Then on the last tab, Input and Output Properties, there's a tree view for the Excel output. There ...Show All

• Windows Forms Set my application to be on top!?

  I'm developing a windows application using VS2005 and C#. My application is composed of various modules/projects: 1 is a WIndows Forms executable that contains the main form. All the others are c# class libraries. However, all the class libraries contain windows forms that are instantiated from the main form. Right now I'm having an issue when opening my login form. The process is more or less like this: The Windows Application Executable runs, opens the Main Form and, on the MainForm_Load event I create an instance object of our Security Class Library, which contains the Login Form. After that I basically show the Login Form in a modal way. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I get rid of the first blank item in the combobox?

  I have created a context menu that has a combobox in it. I have 3 items listed in the combobox. I have the dropdown style set as dropdownlist so no one can enter text. What I want to do is to not have that initial blank in the listing. I want for it to show the first thing in my collection. Is there a way to get rid of the blank item in the combobox Reason is that I am submitting to a database and if for some reason someone does not select an item in the combo it will automatically enter a blank in that database table. So I don't have a reason to keep the blank in the list, would it rather show the first item in my collection. T ...Show All
