  Hi, In a dataflow script I can Add an empty row using OutputBuffer.AddRow(). But how can I put values into the row Regards, Henk Henk, Intellisense can help you here. If you type "Output0Buffer." a menu will appear and somewhere in there will be the names of the available columns. It makes it all very easy. Typically the usage would be: with Output0Buffer.     .AddRow()     .col1 = <value>     .col2 = <value> end with You can see an example of this here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/07/27/1877.aspx -Jamie ...Show All

  Hi There I needed to change a column definition for a published table. I did the following. sp_dropsubscription for publication specifying the one article. sp_droparticle for the specific publication/artcile BOL is not very clear here, i presume this drops the subscription ONLY for the 1 article , correct Secondly i then altered the table accordingly then ran sp_addarticle for the publication/article then sp_addsubscription for the newly defined article. This seems to have worked fine. But i now see there are 2 distribution agents for this publication to this subscriber.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Game programming and VB 2005 express

• Visual Basic Toolbar images

  In the program I'm writing I’m using a toolbar control. Everything are working fine but I would like to change the image from the default image, but I can't find any other images in VB. Are there any other images included in Visual basic 2005 express edition and i there are where can I find them You should be able to find some in the various DLL and EXE files that come with VB... I have VS2005 Pro, so I don't know which files will be the same as yours, but I think VB will allow you to extract icons from those files. If not, there are plenty of utilities (many are free) that will do it. For instance, when you use a toolstrip, you ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't get static data member imported from DLL

    I'm having trouble importing a static data member from a class in a dll.   I reduced the problem to a very simple example consisting of a DLL implemented in 2 files (lib.cpp and lib.h) that exports the class and the static data member, and a console application (main.cpp) that imports and tries to use it. They are listed below: // === lib.h =========================== class __declspec ( dllexport ) GeoTransform2 { private :   int _value; public :   GeoTransform2( int );   int value();   static int sampleStaticMethod();   static char * const cs_default;   // this is the pr ...Show All
