• Windows Forms Vertical scrollbars on multi-column listbox.

  I am developing an application with Visual Studio 2005, C# and SQL which will replace an ageing application we use in our office. My application requires a listbox with multiple columns which has a vertical scrollbar only. However, when working with the form designer, the moment the listbox is switched to multi-column mode, the form designer automatically switches to a listbox with horizontal scroll bars only. I am hoping to make my application so that horizontal scrollbars are not required by fixing the width of the columns I want. The listbox will show a list of SQL databases which the user can select. The additional columns are only to show various dates when the databases were extracted/updated. The reason for a listbox is be ...Show All

• Architecture use of snk file

  Hello everybody, This is somewhat layman's query. i have read about snk files to be included in the assembly to sign it and protect it from unknown people for which it is not meant for.

Can somebody please t ake out some time and explain what exactly is the purpose of snk file and how exactly it serves that purpose. Also why do we need a Assemblydelaysign property in assemblyinfo.cs file. Thanks for your help rajiv Hi Diego, You have given the best possible elaboration on why to use snk files.

• SQL Server Using output from a Stored Procedure as an Output Column in the OLE DB Command Transformation

  I am working on an OLAP modeled database. I have a Lookup Transformation that matches the natural key of a dimension member and returns the dimension key for that member (surrogate key pipeline stuff). I am using an OLE DB Command as the Error flow of the Lookup Transformation to insert an "Inferred Member" (new row) into a dimension table if the Lookup fails. The OLE DB Command calls a stored procedure (dbo.InsertNewDimensionMember) that inserts the new member and returns the key of the new member (using scope_identity) as an output. What is the syntax in the SQL Command line of the OLE DB Command Transformation to set the output of the stored procedure as an Output Column I know that I can 1) add a second Lookup ...Show All

• SQL Server Pivot Task Error - Duplicate pivot key

All worked fine, but now I get this error message: [ytd_pivot [123]] Error: Duplicate pivot key value "6". The settings in the advanced editor seem to be correct (no duplicate pivot key value) and I am extracting the data from the source sorted by month. Could it be a problem that I use all pivot columns (month 1 to 12) in the derived colum transformation and they aren’t available at this moment while data extracting is still going on any hints Cheers Markus The pivot transform takes values like: cust# Product Qty ----- ------- --- ...Show All
