• SQL Server Flat File Destination

  I have a red link from my OLE DB Destination to my Flat File Destination.  I'm not sure why it's read but the OLE DB shoves some data into a table.  I want to then take that data and move it into a flat file using the flat File Destination step but when I run my project, it shows the Flat File Destination Step green but my flat file shows nothing at the end. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but the line linking the two is still red ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Security policy does not permit customization to run

    screenshot I have no clue what to do to solve this problem.  It's a VB.Net 2005 application that starts a Word document (also created with VB.Net), which in turn load a normal Word document and fills in the CustomDocumentProperties. Both apps work as they're supposed to, but when they have to work together, I get this security warning. I tried the text below, but there is no simple Properties window (only that complex s ...Show All

• Visual C# Custom control draws incorrectly when moving another window over it.

  This issue has seriously frustrated me. I am overridding OnPaintBackground to draw a gradient background in my custom control. It resizes great - very smooth, no flicker. When I try to move another window across it, it will repaint itself repeatedly... but it will repaint the area that was hidden by the window as if it was the entire control. So if I am starting the gradient from blue to green...When I move a window over half of the control, an ...Show All

• Visual Basic Multilanguage Application

  Hi everybody, I need to develop a multilanguage application. I don't mean VB & C#. I need one application that provides a german, french and english text. I have done already a ml application. But it was an ASP SQL server solution. Now I'm working with VB.Net. There were some threads with a similar question, but I need quite the basics. I'm sure there is a solution that is now available in VB.Net without a database. Thanks for your hellp. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WinFX Crashes

  OK. Just installed the November CTP's and installed all of them. Everything seems to "work", but I can only get the WPF samples to run about 1 in 5 times - and when they do run, they crash very quickly. Almost all of them do this, no matter how complicated they are. Such as, when I run the "sample viewer" app, sometimes it will actually start up just fine, and I can start to navigate around.  But usually within a minute or so (or a bun ...Show All

• Visual C# Alternative to Global Variable

  I am working on a database application that will operate in two modes. "Server" mode when it is connected to the network, and "Local" mode when it is not. I already have a function that determines if the PC is connected, but I am unsure of where to store the results of this function. My instinct is to store it in a global variable (field)... however from what I read on C#, the use of global variables is not recommended becaus ...Show All

• Visual C# Using fields as parameters in a method

  I have a requirement in a project to build a history. No biggie, but there are dozens of bool fields and processing each one is very time consuming. My approach is to add a field name to an arraylist when the property is changed. OnSave() or Dispose() I look into the object and check to see if the field list is empty or not. If not, I process the list looking at each item comparing it to a clone of the original object so that only true change ...Show All
