• SQL Server Task Expression Evalutation Time

  I have designed a package whose first step initializes several variables .  Other steps in the package have expressions based on those variables. Example Expression for MyTask:    PropertyName = "Disable"    Expression = "@DoMyTask" Given this example MyTask will be enabled/disabled solely based on the value of @DoMyTask at the time the package execution begins.  Changing the value of @DoMyTask prior to the normal execution of MyTask has no effect . My conclusion is that the expression is not being evaluated late enough.  Any help   DarrenSQ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. i need help! pls I want to begin to write games

  I need documents to learn to use directx in c++ or vb, to not knoweverything about directx, thanks for its attention and hope can help me, and sorry for mi english I guess first question is - does this mean you know C++ and VB already If so, then you may find that managed DX is the way to go. If not, then you should learn a core language before deciding to use it to write games. The DX SDK comes with samples that may well give you all you need to get started. There are also a number of good books on game programming in DX around, including at least one on DX programming in C# which I found very good. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Internet zone

  Hi, I have problems with applications deployed using ClickOnce from the Internet zone. I have created a sample application (just a form with a button that makes an illegal operation in this zone - looks if a file exists). http://www.valil.com/TestExpress/TestExpress.zip I have set the zone to Internet and I have deployed it on the web server. When I try to run it, I get the message "Application has been blocked ..." (the message you get when you try to run a full trust application). I must mention that my website has the problem from this thread ("Problems with MIME settings at the hosting provider") so the deployment manifest has the ext ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do you vertically shrink detail section if all the values in a 2nd row of fieldobjects are null.

  Im using crystal in visual studio 2005. I have 2 rows of field objects in the detail section of a report. If for a given record there are no values in the 2nd row I dont want the 2nd row to print blank but to have the space vertically "shrink" up so that there arnt a lot of blank rows causing the report to be longer. thanks in advance for any suggestions. Hi, I think the easiest way to do this is to create a detail section below your first row of field objects and that move the second row of field objects into that details section. Then go into the Section Expert on the second details section and c ...Show All

• Visual Studio The custom tool 'CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator' failed

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is vc++ 6.0 good

  i bought a book on vc++6.0.can i build powerful software applications with that.what is the difference between the vc++6.0 and vc++ 2005.what is the latest released version Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then . Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can not find the <process.h> header file for VC++ 2005 smart application

  Hi, I tried to include the process.h file in the VC++ 2005 smart device project but I got the error when compling: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'process.h': No such file or directory After making the line #include "process.h" blank, I got the error although i have set /MT option error C3861: '_beginthreadex': identifier not found.

I searched for this process.h, it is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include, and I added this into the inlcude directorty for C++ project in the Tool->Option but I then got many other error when compling ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Connection over WAN Link

  I am planning to setup a BlackBerry server and connect to a remote SQL Server over a WAN link with 150+ms ping time. Is there a known tolerance for SQL server connection latency For example, I have been told by RIM that ping time for Exchange should be around 35ms so if it is higher, a BES should be placed next to the Exchange server. Any reply would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

  When inserting wordxml text with .insertxml, the bullets that were "." become " ". Ex: Line 1 Line 2 Becomes: Line 1 Line 2 What is wrong Please show us the code you're using (the WordML). Most likely, what you're inserting doesn't specify the correct list template or the correct font. have you compared your code with XML code in a document saved as WordProcessingML, to see where the two differ BTW, you probably should be asking this in the office.xml newsgroup, where you're more likely to find a few people conversant in WordProcessingML. ...Show All
