• SQL Server Script component and variable!!

  Hi All, I have developed a simple package utilizing script component and variable. What I am trying to do is declare a variable in the parent package that can be change at run time to either 1 or 0. If 1 I want the package to succeed and branch off to run some child packages and if 0, then branch the other way and run another child package. In ether way, I want to be able to load one of the two child packages and not both. I I declare a variable in my parent package like IsExist, int32 with default 0. Then I have this code thanks partly to  Jamie Thomson in " SSIS: Writing to a variable from a script task" Public Sub Main ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Backspace in edit control

  Hi Still building an application for Smartphone 2005 in pure Win32. I now have a configuration dialog containing static fields and edit controls. Everything is fine except when I type sthg in the edit controls, I can't clear it. I can only add characters but not delete them with the back key.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about variable decleration

  This maybe is a stupid question. Sometimes I see variables declared like int _Counter; What is the _ stands for can someone give me an example why you have to declare it like that. Thank you. You can declare variable with any name . But you some times see variables declared like that because of naming convention . The _name usually used to represent static variables so that they can easily be identified when browsing through code. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Beta Support: A Joke

  I have spent most of the last week trying to use the Microsoft support and documentation to learn how to use SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. I have come up with a new phrase..."It just doesn't work." I downloaded the Microsoft online book for SQL Server 2005. First it would not install because it thought that I didn't have NET Framework 2 installed. Then, I found out after a few hours of searching that I had to use a different download (not mentioned in the Microsoft download page) for a different release of NET Framework. Then I installed the online book. Now, there is no way to read the book. It is in .hXS format which does not op ...Show All

• Visual Studio CR in PUSH mode. COMException: Missing parameter values VS 2005 RC1

  We have a problem with CR since the migration to CR.NET with VS 2005. The reports were all designed with CR 9.0 developer edition. They were opened and resaved to CR 10.2 for .NET 2.0 format. These reports were initially designed for the PULL model. We create a new report out of a stored procedure. At runtime, the connection info and the stored procedure parameters are set. CR did the job of pulling the data. The underlying stored procedure that was feeding the data is no longer being used, so we decided to push the data to the report using the PUSH model (SetDataSource) which was working fine in CR 9.0 for .NET. To be safe, we we ...Show All

• .NET Development DataGridView Columns

  In DataGridView Columns are not coming in order while accessing data from database.Please any one help me. Thanx Hi there, Please post what columns order should your datagrid look like and include the sql query statement so that we could figure it out how you do it. For additional tip: If you are using Select * in your query statement, you need to know what would be the orders of your column before assigning it to the object datasource. You can have this format query statement instead of using the "SELECT *", use "Select OrderId,Amount,Quantity from tblCustomer". Hth, Michael Castillones ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Running MDX games on other computers

  I've been working on and MDX game for a couple of months in Visual Studio 2005 express; now I'm trying to run it on other computers and it doesn't work. Of the 4 computers I've tried it on, only 1 successfully ran it. The others get a file not found exception that seems to be for a DLL, but when I put a try/catch around the application initialization (this is based on the sample framework) and found the exception, it conveniently failed to include the actual file name. What do I have to do to run this on a system that doesn't have visual studio This is a common question that gets asked, the main prob ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Possible to integrate the Free 1.34 Version of FxCop into Visual Studio 2005 Pro?

  Hello, Will it be possible to integrate the Free 1.34 Version of FxCop into Visual Studio 2005 Professional similar to the way it is integrated into the Developer Team Edition Thank you, This isn't possible, no. VS2005 ships with a special VS integration package which handles UI and other important interactions with code analysis, to permit excluding violations in source, etc. You can still integrate the free version of FxCopCmd.exe as an external tool, but doing so, of course, provides limited functionality compared to the direct integration in VS2005. It is very likely you will see some code analysis featu ...Show All
