• SQL Server Changing Fail-safe operator in SQL Server Management Studio

  I have designated an operator as the fail-safe operator in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). I now wish to change the fail-safe operator to be a different operator. SSMS allows me to make the changes, but after selecting "OK" and re-opening the SQL Server Agent Properties in SSMS, the changes have not been made. Any idea how to change the fail-safe operator As far as I can tell, there are no stored procedures available, and as I understand it SSMS is already using SMO. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks John Thanks for taking time to report this. I have opened a bug on ...Show All

• SQL Server Execution of Package failed

  I am trying to design package which would copy all tables and stored procedures from one server to another. It used to be simple task in SQL 2000, there was wizard. However the new wizard does not work... I wrote SSIS package, but when I execute I get the following error: "Can not apply value null to property Login..." Any idea It seems to me that this new SQl2005 is not that simple to use like 2000. 2000 was a great product.

  Hi all, I am working on a Windows Forms custom control now and I would like to place my control right on the Toolbox window after installation, however, this seems to be a problem now.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft. ...Show All

• Visual Basic reading a string from the right until...

  I thought this would be simple to figure out (and perhaps it is), but I’m not finding it. I want to extract the last part of a string and save it in a variable. The string lengths are never the same, but there are consistent separators, as below: home\work\school\neighbor I need to save “neighbor” in a variable. My idea was to simply read the string from right to left and stop at the first instance of “\” but I am having trouble finding the proper way to do this. BTW, I’m using VB 2005 express Sure that can be done.... There are numerous ways of doing this. Heres a function which ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxComCmd error code for new messages

  Hi there, In my test I use the baseline report and I am interested in catching the situation when FxCop detects new messages. I am checking ERRORLEVEL in the batch file but FxCopCmd seems to not report any error even if new exceptions were found in the code. Could you tell me what is not correct in my approach and give me some directions Thank you. Set your project options to only write new messages to the output file (but save excluded messages in the project file). Then, after testing, look to see if the output file exists. If it does, there were new unexcluded errors. ...Show All
