• SQL Server DTS/SSIS too many tables warning and subsequent error

  I need to bring over a large number of tables' records (200+ tables) with the Import/Export Wizard. The tables are being imported from MS Access. A separate script run previously will create the tables, so the DTS wizard is only to bring over the data from the Access tables into the empty SQL ones. First, I get the warning that indicates "a large number of tables are selected for copying, and the wizard may not be able to copy all the tables in a session. Select no to go back and unselect some tables, or select Yes to attempt to copy all the currently selected tables at one time". Well, I proceed with the DTS and it tries to validate and takes a fair bit, but then it errors indicating: "Error 0xc0202009: {2F0FABA0-5F4B-4 ...Show All

• SQL Server Dimension Writeback

  I am interested in using the Dimension Writeback feature to solve a specific problem in a forecasting application. I only need to Update attribute values on existing dimension members, I don't need to insert or delete members.

• Visual Studio Express Editions I need some help updating a Dataset when changes are made at the source

  I'm trying to create an application that will have multiple users working off a table on a SQL server. Since multi users will be updating different records at any given moment, how can i get those changes and merge them into my current Dataset. I've been playing around with the GetChanges method and Acceptchanges but they just dont seem to be pulling over the changes and updating my Dataset. Maybe if someone could give me a sample of Code to use or try, anything is appreciated. Here is what I'm trying in my code but doesnt work.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Row will update/delete but won't save without error

  I know this has been asked before but, as an almost total beginner, I went round in circles with the answers given. With that in mind, please accept my apologies for being dumber than a bag full of dumb things. Anyway, what I'm trying to do feels as though it should be really straightforward, but I'm damned if I can figure it out. I have 2 forms in a simple database program. The main form has nothing more than a datagridview, and a button to add new records to the members database. I use a 2nd form because the data that can be entered is far more extensive than I want the datagridview to display, so I disabled the entering of new records on it. The addmember form is fine, and will save ok, and even updates the frmmain.datagridview, on clos ...Show All

• Windows Forms Controls appear attractive in design but not runtime

  Hello, I have recently upgraded a number of VS projects into 2005 and I have noticed that for each of these applications the user controls appear different at runtime. When using the designer in 2005 the buttons appear rounded, and more user-friendly (like the buttons in IE) however at runtime (or during debug) all controls appear a ugly, grey, windows 2000 style appearance. If I create an Windows Forms application from scratch in 2005 I get the attractive controls in all cases - It just seems to be the upgrade. Any ideas Regards, Luc Pettett Hi again, just tried the conversion and noticed, that VS2003 application doesn't enable visual styles by default.

• Visual Studio View multiple drillthrough reports in one ReportViewer

  I want to use only one WebForms page, with one ReportViewer to display all the reports for my project. Some of the reports are tables, and some of the reports are charts. Here is what I want to be able to do: 1) I want to display all reports on one page, using the same ReportViewer, changing reports based on user input, OR based on a user click directly on the report (drillthrough). 2) I want to switch freely between table and chart reports. Here is what I have accomplished so far: 1) When the page loads, either I select to display either a Chart or a Table report. That report displays fine. 2) The page allows me to drillthrough on the drillthrough reports. 3) The page and ReportViewer also allow me to freely switch be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Windows Media Player SDK - close acess to a resource

  Hello, I am trying to integrate a Windows Media Player control into a program I am creating and I am running into a problem. The problem is as follows: Basically, I want to start the player playing a music file and then be able to stop the player and edit it the file and then continue playing it. So running it would be like this, the player is playing "test.mp3" and the program recieves input to concat data onto this "test.mp3" music file. Ideally, the player would stop and release all references to the "test.mp3" music file. Then the program would make the necessary changes to the "test.mp3" file and the player would be set to play the new "test.mp3". The problem I am running i ...Show All
