• SQL Server Generating and directing new rows in PostExecute.

  I want to construct a dataset based on all rows passed in from a source and, upon running through all of them, push each dataset record to an output. Unfortunately, upon calling the AddRow method, I get an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. Am I not allowed to create new rows in PostExecute Hmm, strange. if you want, drop me an email via here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/contact.aspx and I'll reply so you can send me the package. I can take a look and see if anything jumps out. If you can build the package so that I am able to run it as well (i.e. not reliant on external data sources, just use a script source component instead) then that'd help. -Jam ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Little Help

  I am using vs2005 and when I click to deploy my software to my handheld for testing I get the message "loading symbols for c:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v2.0\Debugger\BCL\mscorlib.dll" This message shows at the bottom and it never gets past this point. It never actually deploys and runs my software. Has anyone ever seen this error. Please update your .NET CF to be at least V2 SP1 - we have several fixes for the debugger starting from this version. The newer version - the better. Best regards, Tanya ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem With File Dates Created During Daylight Savings Time

  I am using VB .NET 2.0 with Visual Studio 2005. I have a VB program which keeps adjusting the file dates when the files are considered to have been created or written during a Day Light Savings period. By this I mean when I read the IsDayLightSavingsTime property of a file date and it returns TRUE. For example, if I read a file that was last modified on 5/6/2006 at 8:00 a.m., my VB program keeps adding one hour to the time so it ends up reading as 5/6/2006 9:00 a.m. How can I stop this I need my file dates to match what is shown in the explorer window when you browse your files. This problem does not happen when the IsDAyLightSavingsTime property reads as FALSE. Below is a snipet of how I am getting the LastWriteTime of the files: ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it possible to specify Click events in generic.xaml resource file?

  Currently I get the error when specifying a click event in my generic.xaml Error 311 'ResourceDictionary' root element requires a x:Class attribute to support event handlers in the XAML file. Either remove the event handler for the Click event, or add a x:Class attribute to the root element. If I add the x:Class="X5Client.DynamicWindow1" attribute specifying the class that contains the event, I get a different error. Error 310 Partial declarations of 'X5Client.DynamicWindow1' must not specify different base classes. Rod, If you can live with having your event handling method in a code-behind file (not in the XAML), then try the technique shown here: http://www.infusionblogs.com/b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office 2007 Ribbons & Icons

  Hi all, I am looking for a free .NET control which imitates the look and feel of the Microsoft Office 2007 UI (Ribbon). I know that there is commercial controls, but they are too expensive. Also, I’d like to know if (with the licensing) are allowed to use Microsoft Office 2007 Ribbon icons and where I can get them. Thanks for you help ! Martin Thanks ! But I've already looked at this control and it seems to me a little too buggy. Also, I am surprise to see that nobody has improved this control since the time it's out...

• Windows Forms Changing Deployment Method

  I remember watching a video a while back where the MS host show how "easy" it was to switch from a desktop application to a web based application through Expression. I'm trying to find documentation on this, or something to further explain it. Thanks! There is a way to change deployment method through project projecties, but that doesn't have the expected results so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Its ok. Thanks for the reply anyway :-) ..Hmm, I guess I did drop down to Windows Forms. Sorry about the miss post. I thought I was in ClickOne for the WFP forum group I was in earlier. ...Show All

• .NET Development App settings accross multiple assemblies?

  Hi all, In .NET 1.1 I was able to define application settings within the App/Web.config file that could be accessed from any assembly within the application from System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSetting.Item("..."). How can I do this in .NET 2.0 Thanks in advance, Stephen. It works much the same way... only in the 2.0 world ConfigurationSettings has been deprecated and ConfigurationManager is the preferred route... although both still work, using ConfigurationSettings will throw a warning at compile time. If the old way isn’t working for you... how is it failing Do you have a reference to System.Configuration.dll as part of the assembly trying to read the AppSettings ...Show All

• SQL Server passing a timestamp datatype column to a variable and back

  After several hours of trying, I trow the towel in the ring and come here to ask a question.
