• Visual Studio publishing test results from custom test type

• SQL Server MySql SSIS Hangs with ODBC Drivers

  Hi, we are writting a SQL Server Integration Services package to import data from a MySql database to a Sql Database. We are using ODBC 3.51 Drivers to connect to the MySql Database in SSIS.

• Visual Basic text animation

  How do I animate text  I want to make a flying banner. Well yes.  Assuming you haven't changed my code much, then it will remain the same. basically, You have to animate the position of the text. In the example, when you drawString, the last 2 arguements are X ands Y Position. What you have to do is passs differnt values to the XY coords for earh letter. If the String is "Hello", then... H= (X=1,Y=1) E= (X=10,5) L= (X=15,10) L= (X=20,5) O= (X=25,Y=1) THis would look like...  H       O   E   L     L  It's your responcibilty ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Help! a confused trouble about my cumstom activity.

  hi, I am coding a custom activity, which has a DependencyProperty named myProperty1. and this myProperty1 is a subclass of DependencyObject in the same assembly. My custom activity works well with Designer. However, while i run the assembly compiled from the XAML file generated by Designer, it allways fails. Then i disamble this assembly by Reflector, it confused me that Compiler DOESN'T generate a field matched with myProperty1. Why Is it a BUG？ Some codes as following: public class myCustomActivity: Activity { ... public myClass1 myProperty1 { get{...} set{...} } ... } pubic class myClass1: DependencyObject { public string Nam ...Show All

• .NET Development VS.NET 2005 and Sql 2005 Server x64 editions

  We write business appllcations in VB.NET. We don't use C# or stuff "pointers' in integers. Our programmers generally use the VS.NET IDE to create their code. Question: we are installing Windows 2003 Standard x64 server and a Sql 2005 Standard x64 on a new server with 16GB of RAM. What issues commonly occur in this type of environment (e.g. sql 2005 returns a 64-bit integer but our old VB.NET 2003 codes expects a 32-bit integer -- that's got be trouble.). Is there a list of "programmer gotchas" that anyone knows about TIA, Bill The biggest pit fall I have found is there is not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Installed SQL components not listed on splash screen

  Hi, I installed SQL Server Dev first, then installed VS, but when VS loads, there are no SQL components listed on the splash screen, just VB, C# and VWD. A colleague installed the other way, and has some SQL components listed on the splash screen.  Can I get VS to 'refresh' this list I've since installed Reporting Services and that's not listed either... Thanks Mike devenv /setup will regenerate the splash screen. if you ran it, and you're still not seeing what you expect, then possibly something is wrong with the install of either sql or vs. if you really want these things on the splash screen, ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP packet confirmation

  Anybody know how I can checks that my TCP/IP packet have been really received on the destination side and that is not standing in the buffer because of retries or bad connection Ronald You can't rely on TCP acks to tell you if the peer application has received your data. It simply isn't going to work reliably, and there are already too many unreliable network applications out there. Deal with the extra cost - it's a requirement of what you are looking to do. The only time you get to use a TCP event to synchronise application events is when you can get a good FIN-FIN exchange at closure of the TCP socket. ...Show All
