• Visual Studio Look what happened after I installed SQL Server 2005.

  Visual Studio Express 2005 Beta 2. SQL Server 2005 Express June CTP. After I installed the SQL Server 2005 books online, this is what happened to the visual studio documentation. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/shexec32/shexec32/images/screencorruption.png Look in particular at the table of contents. These strange topics appear all over the Visual Studio Express documentation. They appear to be fragments of the Net framework help. Sometimes, I can even see non-english characters (eg. from the Kanji range), which could suggest I'm looking at my contents of memory. This occurred after I installed the SQL Server books onlin ...Show All

• SQL Server How to continue package execution during error?

  We have a package that loads the data from several excel files into database in a forloop. Everything works files until the package hits the bad file. My goal is to continue the loop to process the rest of the files by skipping the bad file and error. In each task OnError I am creating custom error message to send an error/ sucess summary email out at end of the process. How can force the for loop to continue when there is an error Is there any way to reset the errors Thanks R The behavior is mostly controlled by three properties: MaxErrorCount, FailPackageOnFailure and FailParentOnFailure ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Sound(OLE) in program

  I would like to use MS SNDREC32.EXE in my program; however, I cannot find the documentation on how to pass Sound(OLE) objects in my Access Database to this program using C# Express.  I would like it to work as it does in Access, Word, and Excel but the format is beyond me.  The Sound(OLE) objects doesn't appear to be normal WAV file formats.  I have copied the Sound(OLE) object to a file directory and it attaches .shs as an extention.   I could resort to using MS DirectX.  Found some sample programs such as http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp txtCodeId=2580&lngWid=10 &nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I know if I need MFC x86 or x64?

  I know this sounds like a dumb question but here is why I am asking. I recently installed the .NET 2005 Express versions of C++, C#, and J#.  I have a 64 bit laptop running win64.  It has 2 program folders one for 64 bit apps and 1 for x86 apps.  After the installation was complete I notcied that all of the Visual Studio Express versions were in the x86 folder.  There is however one folder name MS Visual Studio 8 in the 64 bit folder for the Remote debugger. The Platform SDK installed in the 64 bit folder as well.  The SQL stuff seems to be split between the 2 folders.  This is confusing me.  I do not r ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Remoting v/s Web Services

  In terms of performance, is there a difference between Web Services and .NET Remoting when the latter is hosted by IIS. If I understand correctly, in this case they would both be using SOAP to communicate with their clients, and I would like to know if there will still be a performance difference. I am trying a weird thing. Since web services transmits only certain data types, I am serializing an object into a stream and then converting it into Byte[]. This then is the return type of the web method. The consumer of this web service can deserialize the byte array provided it has dotnet on it. This way I am able to transfer cus ...Show All

  I searched the database as best I could and I hope this question has not already been answered and I missed it.

How can I keep the TabControl box the same size as the form when it is resized. (TabControl1.Width = Form1.Width - 20) You can also set the Dock property of the TabControl to Fill.

  Hi. I have a string of hexadecimals that i whant to convert into text that i can view in a textbox or a listbox.
