• Visual Studio When is VSS 2005 going to be Available to the Public?

  Hey all, My company is getting ready to start a new project. We are very interesting in .Net 2.0 and C#/C++ Apps and have several versions of VS 2005 Pro already. However, we also want to have some source control. None of the 3rd party programs are what we are looking for. So when is VSS 2005 going to be released to the public Should we get an MSDN license to use the Beta Version of VSS 2005 Will VSS 2005 Beta work with the release versions of VS 2005 Thanks AFAIK, the version I got with MSDN was not the beta. Having said that, I also didn't think there were any overly compelling options over the last version of VSS, which I ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Sort Order / Collation

  I have an O2 Xda IIs Pocket PC running PPC 2003 SE, WWE (Worldwide English) edition. I want to create a database which contains all Chinese characters that have been mapped under the Unicode Standard. I already have a similar database on my desktop PC. On my desktop PC, I have used the collation Chinese_Hong_Kong_Stroke_90_CI_AS. However, on my Pocket PC, I do not see any Chinese or even Unicode sort orders. The best I get is "General". I want to use the Chinese sort order to govern the way the characters are sorted (ie., characters with fewer strokes appear first). How am I able to do this / Is there anything extra that I may ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Hide child activities in a custom SequenceActivity

  Is it possible to hide child activities in a custom SequenceActivity, so that the activity appears as one I've tried using a ActivityDesigner, but without any success. Mikael That's right. Changing the base class to Activity will result in loss of children. The best solution is to assign a designer with the following attribute [ Designer ( typeof ( ActivityDesigner ), typeof ( IDesigner ))] ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView + RowValidating = Index 4 does not have a value?

  Hello, I recently setup my DataGridView to use the RowValidating event.  However, whenever a user types something in to a NewRow (as to cause the DGV to create a new row and consider the current row's NewRow = false) and then hit escape to cancel the edit, the DataError exception goes nuts.  It keeps spitting out "Index 4 does not exist" in what seems to be an infinite loop. Here is my RowValidating code: private void dgvMain_RowValidating( object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e) {   if (dgvMain.Rows[e.RowIndex] != null && !dgvMain.Rows[e.RowIndex].IsNewRow)  {    string er ...Show All

• SQL Server Metadata storage and intelligent use

  I am contemplating moving a huge integration project (hundreds of different medical practice management systems) from a competitor's dedicated data integration tool to SSIS.  One of the main questions I have about SSIS regards it's capability to maintain - and even more importantly - intelligently use metadata regarding source and target data in the integration processes. One significant example: There is an ETL tool that I am familiar with that allows the user to indicate the uniqueness keys of any target data structures. This is huge because now the tool has the capability to determine if a source data structure that is a ca ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005: Upgrade to Aug CTP VS.NET invalidates CLR

  I get the message that (CLR) v2.0.50215 not installed properly. The August CTP release of Visual Studio seems to be installed properly. Does this mean that both SQL Server 2005 and VS.NET have to keep versions synchronized I guess so. I might add that this is under XP 64) ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS 2000 with VS 2005? Report Designer

  We have SQL Server 2000, and SQL Reporting Services 2000. In order to design reports I just purchased (and installed) Visual Studio 2005, but can't get the Report Designer to install from the SSRS 2000 cd. It gives me a warning stating I don't have VS 2003 installed. All the marketing blurbs about SSRS 2000 say that you need VS 2003 or later in order to get the report designer. How do I make this work Thanks. I don't have visual studio 2003. Are you telling me I have to figure out how to buy it too You can't even buy it anymore. That's crazy. ...Show All

• .NET Development Error deleting a TableAdapter from dataset.xsd

  When I delete or make a change to a TableAdapter the form to which I have this TableAdapter bound displays an error message and does not allow me to get to the form to change the Data Source property. Why is this and how do I make actions like this refactor or where do I change the code to disconnect this property Michael I have come across this same problem. It seems a bit silly that all generated code isnt removed when u remove the file from the project or simply remove the control from the form. Which leads me to beleive that im not removing it correctly. Any thoughts ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection managers - OLE DB

  Hi There Quick question.In DTS when you had multiples tasks connecting to the same Database, it was reccomended that you create multiple connections for the same database and let each task use a different connection, thereby making a new connection for each one. In SSIS if i define 1 OLE DB connection to a database, but i have say 6 tasks using that connection that run simultaneously, does eachone open a new connection to the database to make it more efficient Or do i still need to define multiple connections to the same database and assign each task a different connection Thanx Did you have retain same connection set to true I don't h ...Show All

  Sorry for being noob with VB. I've only just started classes for it about 2 weeks ago. At my school we can't save our programs nor do we compile them. So... How do I compile it into just one .EXE file with an icon and everything In the projects properties window you will see the option for setting the icon for the exe.
