• Visual Basic copy file through unc path with services

  I have a windows service running under localsystem account and need access shared folder ( \\192.168.1.1\folder\filecopy.exe - it's shared with everyone permissions) to copy a file in background and without logon but gives me error. I need do something in services to can access shared folder (two computers are in same domain) Thanks. I might be wrong here, but I think that the LocalSystem account (i might be thinking of NetworkService) is registered in AD as the Computer account. If you go to the file share and add that particular PC's Computer account to the sharing security you should th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Get Latest Version stops after Error reading from file

  Hi, We have following problems with at least one file item: 1. If we select the "Path" tab of the "Properties" dialog we get the error message "File <Physical File> not found". This file was probably destroyed in Vss many years ago and is not available in the data directory. 2. If we do a "Get" from the "History" dialog we get the error message "Error reading from file". 3. If we share the parent project of the file and then do a "Get Latest Version" on the shared project we first get the message "Project <Logical Project> has been destroyed, and cannot be rebuilt." and after clicking the "Yes To All" button the error message ...Show All

• Visual Studio Clipboard problems in a VSPackage editor

  I'm having some problems with pulling items back off the clipboard within my VSPackage editor.  It looks like the item is added to the clipboard fine, it is disovered fine, but when I am typecasting it back to the object that I originally put on there I am getting invalid cast errors.  I've heard that there can be problems in an add-in and you need to retrieve the data in a different thread... but I tried that, and it didn't help the problem either. I've followed the samples provided in help and on various websites to placing items on the clipboard as well as pulling them off and for some reason it isn't working for me.... here ...Show All

• SQL Server TRY-CATCH question - Errors of severity 10 or less

  According to the articles that I've read, errors (i.e., warnings) with a severity of 10 or less DO NOT trigger the CATCH block.  And none of the sample code that I've seen check for those errors. So, is it safe to ignore those errors   Or, should I be checking for them Hi Richard Yes, it is safe to ignore errors with severity 10 and under. You're correct: TRY...CATCH doesn't handle errors with severity 10 and under. This is because errors with severity 0 through 10 are informational messages and not really errors. The Database Engine does not raise system errors with severities of 0 through 9. Mess ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Structure Vs Class

  Can anyone describe the exact defrence between Class and Structure We can use bouth many times. When should we use a Class and when a Structure Pay attention to the video that Jelle van der Beek linked to: even though it drags on a little, it's quite good and mentions a big drawback of structures.

• SQL Server How to create XML documents over 8000 bytes?

  I have a script transform object that is creating XML to be inserted into a SQL 2005 database. It seems only an N_TEXT can be inserted, but N_TEXT is read-only in the script task.  The only way I've found to make this work is to have the script transform produce the XML into a DT_STR(8000) string, then convert that to N_TEXT in a Data Conversion task so it can be inserted. Now I have a problem in that my XML has exceeded the 8000 byte DT_STR data type.  Is there another way to do this Jay Ah, answered my own question.  Seems I knew this at one point already and somehow forgot it.  The ...Show All
