• SQL Server lookup to check values in 13 columns with same values

  hi, it is my first post on this forum, please be patient if i miss any important bit of information. i am transporting data from a legacy system into mssql 2k5 using SSIS. among those column of a dataset there are 13 columns, all necessary for operational reasons, that i need to ensure data consistance. i believe i could do this check using the lookup data flow item, but surely there must be a way to do it in a more streamlined fashion. since column names contain numbers to distinguish the version, eg; col01, col02, col03 .. col13. i thought i could include the lookup within a loop and use a couple of variables to do this trick, but since i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Generics and operators...

  Upon discovering generics, I seem to be able to get 99% of a solution, but the last 1% is killing me. Say you want to make a generic class to compare two numbers for whatever condition the user specifies... (in red) ... and then return a boolean to indicate whether the first argument was related to the second argument in the chosen way LessThan GreaterThan GreaterThanOrEqual Equal Etc...   Im sorry about the horrifyingly bad formatting of code in here, but i've tried everything in this stupid window to get the paragraph spacing to single space when hitting return, but for some reason it refuse ...Show All

• Visual C++ Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT

• SQL Server XML Config files

  I am new to SSIS. I created a XML configuration file for my package. I found lots of data on how to do this but I can't find anything on how to get the values back out. I am trying to get them out in a Script file. Any help and maybe examples would be appreciated. What are you doing with a script file, I don't understand what you mean, or why you need to do something else like this Configuration files are used to set properties within a package, that is all. You assign the configuration to the package and it reads and sets the values for you. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Beta 2 Debugging question for HOL 1

  Hello, I'm working through the Hands on Lab (HOL) #1 for WF Beta 2, Exercise 3 and task 7. Everything's been working according to the lab instructions until I got to the debugging section. I'm seeing a couple of strange things: 1. Step 6 tells me to step into the code for the ReportSubmitted_Invoked handler. I've tried this, but the debugger doesn't go to the code level; it simply highlights the next activity in the workflow designer. I also tried explicitly setting a breakpoint in the ReportSubmitted_Invoked method of the code beside file, but it's not hit and appears disabled. The text 'ReportSubmitted_Invoked' is written to the cons ...Show All

• Windows Forms Read Data From Windows Form?

  Hi, I have a fairly basic or possibly complex question. I am using a piece of windows software which displays a table of constantly changing numbers. What I would like to do is write a little program which reads these numbers and presents me with a warning if any of them drops below a certain level! My question is how could I do this and, is there a way to do this without reverse engineering the program I suspect there should be a way to access elements of the form and then just have a loop that checks the data in the table constantly.... If someone could get back to me as soon as possi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Getting application settings in control libraries and other separately compiled stuff

  I will admit that i'm not really on top of the class structure yet:-( That said I guess that I understand that in a control library My.Settings refers to any settings that are established for the library. (Not sure how I'd use that:-) So the question is how do I see the settings associated with the main running application in a control library What I want to do is have the controls initialize themselves and save themselves into the application's user settings. (I know, I should bind control properties to the application settings but whenever I try to do this Beta 2 exits - no error just shuts down gracefull!) Regards, Al ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Statemashine workflow - Set State

  Is it possible for a state mashine workflow to have multiple states at the same time Hey Jon, I'm doing exactly this - with Cancel/OnHold/Pause etc. as being Events part of the parent state. From my understanding and what I've noticed is that in the State machine, there is only one 'Active State' - you can enumerate up the 'control tree' to find 'outer states' When the WF is sitting there waiting for an Event, we would like to know 'what events can this state accept' There is an example in the SDK samples - CancelWorkflow that has a routine to enumerate the DataQueueItems (from memory) (these correspond to 1 for each event ...Show All
