• Software Development for Windows Vista Privacy Policy Schema

  So, I noticed that the privacy policy is an xml file extension or was it jus a dud Does anyone know the schema for that The Privacy Policy is just a text file. It gets displayed in the Identity Selector when the user clicks on privacy policy in the dialog that displays the information about the website. (I had thought that it displayed richer text at one point, but that didn't make it I see.)

• Visual Studio Team System Time out issue when importing data

  We are currently using CPT5. We created scripts that are executed by the post deployment script to DROP_CONSTRAINTS, TRUNCATE_DATA, IMPOT_DATA, ADD_CONSTRAINTS, and ADD_extended_properties. We build the script to import the schema with CPT5 then deploy the buil and our scripts run from the post deployment script. I recieve a timeout error when I try to deploy but when I run the scripts seperatly in the T-SQL editor after the DB is built they work fine. We are trying to make it an automated easy proccess to pull databases locally and we were wondering if there know issues like this with the current version of CPT5 or if this won't be an issue with future releases We are not getting the issue in CTP6 we ...Show All

• SQL Server what errors normally should i log for my SSIS package?

  I got an SSIS package that first "truncate the product table" then populate the table with new rows....if there is an error then i will invoke the send email task. However in the "truncate the product table" task, the sql i put "truncate dbo.product" instead of "truncate table dbo.product" but this error is not captured in the text file that I m going to send an email to the appropriate personnel.

• SQL Server Disable a task in the current package programmatically?

  Hi, I have a package comprising a number of Data Flow Task steps, to import various tables of data from some Access databases into SQL Server. The name of some of these Access databases will change depending on the date, e.g. last year's data is currently in a database called "2005data.mdb". At year end this will be superseded by "2006data.mdb". The Access databases are within a 3rd party system so I have no control over the file names. I have a Script Task that checks the current date, and changes the name of an Access database in the connection string to reflect last year's date. But to complicate matters, last year's file might not exist. So the Script Task checks whether the file name exists. If not, I woul ...Show All

• .NET Development How to use DIFFERENT sessions with the SAME INSTANCE browser

  Hello everybody, I am in bit of a problem which is killing me. As the title shows I need to use different sessions for each time the application starts, I been searching about this issue for quite some time now and as we all now IE launches a different session for each instance of the browser. Meaning that if I open a new window from start menu IE will give my asp.net application a new HttpContext and a new SessionID and everything its ok, therefore two users can have two windows open each one with its session variables and no problems. BUT in our company there is a SharePoint page which among other things has a section in which you can launch all of the company’s systems including the mentioned application.

• Windows Forms Database Woes!!!!

  I am trying to enter data collected by an I/O card connected to the computer into a database. I have a data set and table adapters, no problems there. I can add the rows one at a time while the data is collected, to the dataset and when a specific number of new rows(in this case 25) has been reached the data set is appearently sent back to the database with a call to the Update() method in the table adapter. A text box displays the total number of affected rows i.e. 25. The problem is that when I view the table data in the database explorer my new rows are not in the database. As far as i can see I have all the neccessary code to save the rows and that they have been saved successfully but alas they are not there!! please help. Me . ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet difference between DataSets

  This is a shot in the dark, but is there a way to take two DataSet objects and receive the differences between them As if one is a previous version of the other...the difference would bare out those changes between the versions... There is not a direct method that will do the work for you ...However there are several ways to implement methods to accomplish your goal...you may want to start by looking into the Public Interface IComparer or any of the generic collections compare methods in which you can inherit from ...Show All

• Visual C# Is Form Loaded

  How do I know when a windows Form is loaded.. For example.. If i wanted to run a function one the form loads.. how would I do this P.S: Sorry If Im not clear.. but If Im not please let me know. Hi, there's also Application.OpenForms collection, which contains open forms within your application. The following code checks if Form2 is already open: Form myForm = Application .OpenForms[ "Form2" ]; if (myForm != null ) { // do your stuff here } You can use this collection from any form in your application, although you won't get notified when the form is being loaded. For this, you would have to work with form's Load event, like others have suggested. Andrej ...Show All

• SQL Server yyyymmdd text data into a datetime field in SQL Server?

  Hello, I have an Excel spreadsheet that contains 100,000 + rows of data. Two of the columns in the spreadsheet are date fields that are sent over in the yyyymmdd format (no separators such as "-" or "/"). I tried converting these fields into dates using the Data Conversion task in SSIS. This doesn't work as it appears that SSIS cannot map a string in the format of yyyymmdd to a valid date. In lieu of this, I have added a Script Component to my transformation which can take the string and convert it to a date value using some Substring() calls on the source yyyymmdd string. A few questions for the group ... 1. Is this there a more efficient or "better" way of performing this transformation 2. I can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Requesting help to Build Mfc42D.lib and similar Libs from SDK's MFC VC++ 2005 Express Edition

  As you all may know, MFC is not included with Visual C++ Express 2005.   You'd have to purchase VC++ Standard edition to get MFC. But the MFC source code (no binaries) happens to be included with the Platform SDK, in the folders: <installed Platform SDK folder>\SRC\MFC and <installed Platform SDK folder>\INCLUDE\MFC There are some make files in there (mfcdll.mak etc), but the main MAKEFILE and export DEF files are missing.  If you have a copy of Visual C++ 6.0 you can get these missing files.  I have sucessfully built this version of MFC (both debug and release) and run a test app using this rebuilt version (I named it MFC42E.DLL) with very minor changes to the source cod ...Show All

• Visual Basic In the registery?

  I have written a program that requires a password to be created when it is first run, this is then encrypted and stored on the computer C:/Test.txt . the next time the program is run you enter your password, which is encrypted and compared against the encrypted password on file, and if they match you can use the program. I don't think storing the encrypted password as C:/Test.txt is a good thing, so where is the best place to hide it away, and how is it done Any help, advice or interesting articles will be welcome.
