• SQL Server Will package work on different CTP version?

  Hi There I have created a package in integration services using the June CTP (latest one), i was asked to deploy it on a sql server 2005 instance. On further investigation i realised that the 2005 installation was from the first CTP prior to the one i used to create the package. In configuration manager there is no SSIS it is called DTS server. My question is will my package work 100% if i deploy it to the earlier CTP version of sql server Thanx I don’t think anyone can guarantee there will be no problems going forward, but certainly I am not worrying about it for the reasons outlined above. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Programming Challenge since u re great guy

  For this challenge, you'll need to write an algorithm to find your way from one corner of a field to another as fast as possible. You will be given a starting point and an ending point, and you'll need to tell us how long it will take you to get from start to finish. The field is a grid, and you can only move up, down, left and right. Each move of one grid square takes 1 second. Unfortunately, there's also walls in the way.....the rest is here: http://www.scm.ca/programmingchallenge/maze.htm No No I m not joking That s a question some body received before a job interview, I m not sure about the difficulty of the problem ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing a string from a C# program to a Win32 C++ dll?

  I week or so ago a few of us on this forum were trying to figure out some problems with using functions within a C# program that were made in a C++ dll, and thanks to some very helpful guys here, we were able to figure it out. However, I am now having a problem trying to pass a string from my C# program into my Win32 dll function. I have tried everything that I can think of, but since I am not all that adept at C# programming, I haven't come up with the answer. In fact, I can't seem to even properly pass a simple char , however int s and long s work fine. I'm hoping that due to my inexperience with C# that one of you C# experts will point ...Show All

• .NET Development Dynamically create a proxy or call a web service from a WSDL.

  Hi, How can I dynamically create a proxy or call a web service from a WSDL. I need to call a variable number of web services which all implement a known method. I can call the services by creating one proxy and changing the URL property. This fails though because the parameters to WebServiceBindingAttribute and SoapRpcMethodAttribute are not correct.

• Visual C++ Tracking source of MS Visual C++ runtime error

  Sorry for this newbie question, but I've already tried Goggling for an answer without success. Note that I am not an experienced programmer. I have a dialog box that keeps popping up occasionally with the title “Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library”. When it appears there’s an error ‘bong’ sound, but I cannot read the dialog because it’s just black as it does not refresh properly. Is there any way I can detect what is causing it to appear There’s no errors or warnings in the Control Panel->Events log. I’ve just built a new computer, but I’ve installed so many programs in the last few days that I can’t tell what might be the culprit. T ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Outlook 2000 crashes on exit with WDS installed

  I ran into 2 problems with WDS version 2.06.0000.2083. I have just installed WDS for the first time on XP SP2. I don't have MSN Search Toolbar installed. My Outlook setup doesn't use Exchange and just connects to my ISP to retrieve email. The problem I have is that Outlook crashes on exit. I can post memory dump if necessary. Additionally, if I let WDS finish indexing while Outlook is up, WDS doesn't ever find anything in the email messages. Kind of defeats the purpose of Outlook integration. Are these known issues that I ran into If so, when should we expect to have a new version out that addresses Outlook 2000 integration Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Databinding to a Checkbox

  I have a simple form with 2 checkboxes which are Databound to an object, the properties of which are of type boolean. The problem I have is :- I am using the CheckChanged event. When I check the Box, the value of the UI control is correctly changed, but the value in the object does not reflect the change i.e. the Object seems to lag behind the form. If I subsequently click on another control, and then check the values of the control and the object, they are now in sync. Anyone got any suggestions Cheers, Paul Could you explain how the checkbox is bound to the object In a databound or propertybound sce ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sharp performance drop!?

  So I'm developing my game on my pc, and the framerate is steady at 75 fps as I'm adding stuff to it. I take a break and play a game for awhile (on my pc), and when I get back, the fps is now 53! I've tried restarting my pc, but it's still 53! What the heck's going on I don't think it's my code, because my laptop still gets 60fps like it always did, and it has crappier hardware than my pc. Please, can someone tell me what's going on Update: Okay, this is insane. I just tested it on my brother's computer, who has the same manufacturer of video card, and my program's down to 53fps on that machine, too. But then, I too ...Show All
