• Visual Studio Indent Style

  How do I temporarily change the active document's indent style within a macro Here is one way to do this.  Change "CSharp" to the language you want.  You can find what the language name should be by looking under the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\%VerNum%\AutomationProperties\TextEditor.  This code sets the indent style to None.  Using 1 would set it to Block and 2 would set it to Smart (if it is available). For Each prop As EnvDTE.Property In DTE.Properties( "TextEditor" , "CSharp" ) If prop.Name = "IndentStyle" Then prop.Value = 0 ' Change t ...Show All

• SQL Server Enabling the Service Broker

  I'm trying to enable the Service Broker for Sql Server 2005 because I want to be able to use a SqlDependency object. I ran the following query to see if my local sql server service broker was enabled: SELECT is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'dbname'; It came back with a value of 0 (which means it is not enabled). I tried executing the following sql command to enable it: ALTER DATABASE dbname SET ENABLE_BROKER; The query has been running for over 5 mins and just keeps spinning (should it take this long to enable the Service brfoker), so I cancel it. I even try to issue the command to see if the service broker i ...Show All

• SQL Server Data processing extension - ODBC problem - GetOrdinal

  Hello, I'm trying to develop new data extension for connection to Informix database. Reason is simple. Standard ODBC interface is locking rows in database, so I'd like to avoid it. And second problem with Informix is in date - specially DBNull value. It's presented as a "1/1/1" not as a null. So problem for me. I read the sample extension - File Share Data Processing - and started. My goal was completely simulate ODBC extension with small additions to IDbConnection.Open and IDataReader.GetValue methods. But as I realize - it's neccesary completelly implement all methods and classes for extension. After one week of work I'm still in ...Show All
