• SQL Server SSIS - Importing varchar from Access into SQL2005 as varchar

  For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications. The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question.... I get the following error Validating (Error) Messages Error 0xc02020f6: Data Flow Task: Column "Answer" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.

• Windows Forms Magic with Installations (Am I re-inventing the wheel)

• Visual Studio Team System Web Testing

  1)what does this message mean "Object Moved Here"! and when does it come. also 2)When i ran my recorded web test i found that some of the http requests were giving me diff screen shots where as during recording i didnot do those actions also it says web test passed.Why is it so Kindly explain. 1. Object moved here means that your server is redirecting your request. When you hit the same page in a browser, it will perform the same redirection, but it will do it without you seeing the intermediate page. 2. The playback ui does not execute any java script. So if your page depends on java script then it will likely look different in playback. The web test engine works at the http layer an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF31002 unable to connect on 2 different client machines

  We are just starting to roll TFS out at our shop. However, we are experiencing the TF31002 error on 2 seperate client boxes. I have already tried the following with now success. Any suggestions I have seen problems similiar to this. This type of connectivity to the Team Foundation Server problem is usually resolved by clearing the client side Team Foundation Server cache.

• Windows Forms Progress Bar Redraw With New Value

  I am trying to write a program which calls a new thread to do the bulk of the processing. I have set it up so that the main class has a progress bar which updates as the program runs. The only problem is that the progressbar stops working once the program loses focus on my computer. Also, rather then updating the progressbar on a timer, I would prefer if the new thread could update it every time it updates 100 records. Is there any way to fix this problem, and is there any way for the new thread to tell the original when to do the update A snippet of the code I am using is below: Thanks, Russ Original Thread: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ private void button1_Click(object sender, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Coloring TabControl.

  As far as I can see TabControl object has no properties of either Back or ForeColor. Is it possible to assign these properties to this object Another question: TabPage object does have both properties but when you assign a color to it it does not cover the whole TabPage: the tab itself remains gray. Is it possible to give it colors Many thanks.   nahguam wrote: TabControl inherits from Control so the properties BackColor and ForeColor *are* present. They have just been hidden from the VS designer. If you manually assign them (don't believe what intellisense tells you! :) ) It will compile. Unfortunately, modifying them seems to have no effect on the painting of the control. I'm not sure how you can ...Show All

• Visual C# Question on c# Language Specification

  Hello msdn community... Reading ECMA-334 ( http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-334.pdf ), on basic concepts (page 91) I came to the following two: "Types declared in compilation units or namespaces can have public or internal declared accessibility and default to internal declared accessibility." " Interface members implicitly have public declared accessibility. No access modifiers are allowed on interface member declarations." My question is the following: Declaring an interface at namespace without the use of any accessibility modifier will result in a interface with (default) internal access. How can this interface's members have public accessi ...Show All
