• SQL Server Data Flow Task - Have Null values take table default

  Hi, I have a data transform from a flat-file to a SQL server database. Some of the flat-file fields have NULL values. The SQL table I'm importing into does not allow NULL values in any field, but each field has a Default value specified. I need to have it so that if a null value comes across in a field using the data transform, it takes the table default on import. I could of sworn I had this working a few days ago, but I get errors now that state I'm violating table constraints. Has anyone done this before Thanks Jeff You can try to use the Derived Column transform and replace your null values wi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Preventing UI Automation access to an application

  Hi Congratulations of the new forum, it should be a great thing to have. I just wanted to know - is there a way of preventing or limitting UI Automation access to an application When setting UIAccess flag to "true" and disabling the secure desktop, a could indeed access the consent dialog using UI Automation. However, it seems to me that on Vista RC1 this behaviour was changed, and I cannot get to the consent dialog. Is this a "by design" change, or should I still be able to manipulate the consent dialog and might be doing something wrong Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions [VC++ 2005 Express] Cannot debug

• Visual Studio Team System "Get" from Source Control Explorer doesn't get missing files

  (Using TFS Beta 3) If I use Windows Explorer to manually delete a local file that is part of a project, then doing a "Get Latest Version" from Source Control Explorer doesn't replace the missing file. I assume this behaviour is correct, since it would surely have been noticed otherwise. So my question is: How do I ensure that no files are missing when I "Get Latest Version" TIA, Matthew. You're correct that this is the expected behavior - the file has been deleted on the local filesystem, but nothing told the server that you no longer have the file. If you want to make sure you aren't missing any local ...Show All

• Windows Forms .NET Framework and Windows Profiles

  Problem: We developed a VB.NET application using Visual Studios 2005 and are using table adapters (via the wizard) to bind the data to the forms. The program is using a hidden textbox field on the form as the key (a SQL identity field) to run stored procedures on an SQL 2000 server. With the issue we are having, the application opens the main form and can access data from the SQL server just fine. However, when trying to run the stored procedure that uses the hidden textbox field, an error occures saying that the hidden field value of "" cannot be converted to a integer. Note: The txthiddentextbox.text is being converted to an i ...Show All

• Windows Forms self created icons

  (this might sound stupid but im new ok) I just thought i'd check... When you create an icon in vs2005 and you select it as the forms icon, on the form is does not show the icon you made but an icon of a page (bitmap image ) and when i build the form it has the same icon. does the icon you made appear only once you compile and install the software or am I doing something wrong cheers You may need to add the right sized icon image. Icons can store different sizes and color depth versions. So, its likely you don't have the small icon needed to show in the form -- only the large one shown in explorer. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Desposing of a bitmap. "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF THE OBJECT."

  I am having memory problems.  I can watch the memory used climb to 100% during the operation of the program and then fall off again.  The sample code included contains the area where I suspect my problem lies.  I am declaring a new bitmap each time I run the procedure and not disposing of the old one.  As you can see, I have tried the simple direct approach to getting rid of the old bitmap by simply disposing of it.  Unfortunately, VB won't let me do that.  When it gets to that line of code, I get an exception: "OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF THE OBJECT." I don't have a clue as to what that means or ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataTable EndEdit uniqueidentifier NewRow

  I am becoming heartily sick of .NET data controls. Things that should be simple to do just aren't. Ok, DataTable has a primary key column of uniqueidentifier. Table insertion is via stored procedure which uses an output param to return the guid for each inserted row. First problem: When 'Save' button hit EndEdit called so that current edit is captured. Constraint exception thrown saying column does not accept nulls. It is null because it will get it's value from the stored procedure. It won't get it's value from the stored procedure because EndEdit throws an exception before it can. Hack around first problem: If an SqlCommand ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Compile on Check-In

  Now I know there is a way to do this and please excuse me if this answered elsewhere. How do I set a policy for check-in that requires a project and/or solution build prior to allowing the check-in to committ   I am wanting to enforce the 'don't break the project or solution rule' and let continuous integration handle the 'don't break the build rule'. The second part I have a handle on but the first part of not committing a check-in may or may not be doable- such as how do you distinquish a check in of code versus check-in of some artifact for version control not associated with a project/solution.   In response t ...Show All
