• Visual Studio SSIS runs very slow

  When I open up a SSIS project from Visual Studio it takes a long time to start up and I get the following warning message. Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete. If you regularly encounter this delay during normal usage, please report this problem to Microsoft. Are you extending Visual Studio in any way If so, we would need more details on your implementation to assist in debugging this issue. If not, you might have more success in finding an answer in the SQL SIS forums at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=80&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is the meaning of loadAllContent?

  I'm not sure I understand the meaning of the parameter loadAllContent to the function Game.LoadGraphicsContent. According to the documentation it is: "true if all graphics resources need to be loaded; false if only manual resources need to be loaded." But what are manual resources Thanks in advance, Per Rasmussen. You don't have to load the resources, just reassigned the variable for the loaded resources. How would the content manager know what variables you've loaded resources into ...Show All

• Visual C# Generate the hash code for filename and its content.

  I have a requirement where I need to generate the hash code for a particular filename and its content. If it is only file name then its easy but with content also I am not sure how to go about doing all this. Regards, This would be a perfect scenario for the usage of a File Hash Algorithm such as MD5 or SHA-1 or Whirlpool.The framework has some built in functions to generate these for you, look under System.Security.Cryptography for the classes that will generate these hashes. I'll let you decide which is best as the subject of file hashing can be very complex, and you really don't want to build your own unless you are a whiz at crypto and mathematics, but basically they will create a semi-unique fixed sized string based off of ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Permissions per file

  Hi As I understand it, permissioning in Portal 2003 is applied on a per document library basis - is there any way to leverage more granularity out of this Here is my scenario: We have 100 sales staff, and want a way to keep their performance data on Sharepoint (2-3 Excel files per salesperson). We want them to see their own data, but our sales manager to see all data. Also some people may see others data (line managers, etc). Currently I am storing this on a file-server, using NTFS permissioning. I would prefer to fully integrate this into Sharepoint. We currently run Portal Server 2003. Many thanks for helping a noob. Short answer - not out of the box. Long answer - take a look at: ...Show All

• Visual C# Convert a byte array to a short array?

  I have the following code that reads a number of bytes into an array then copies them into an array of shorts. // nInt16 is the number of 16 bit integers in being read in the form of bytes // br is a BinaryReader byte[] data = br.ReadBytes(nInt16 * 2); short[] arrInt16 = new short[nInt16]; Buffer.BlockCopy(data, 0, arrInt16, 0, nInt16 * 2); Is there a way, in C#, to read the data into a byte array and then "point" an array of short to it instead of copying the data Similar to what can be done in C++. (I realize that arrays in C# and C++ are totally different data structrures) Thanks. David Have you tried: BitConverter.ToInt16(); function Best Regards, Rizw ...Show All

• Visual C# typeof keyword for properties, fields, methods

  Why don't Microsoft implement some sort of "typeof" for properties, fields, methods etc For example, lets suppose we have "propertyof" keyword, then we can do the following: PropertyInfo pi = propertyof(MyClass.MyProperty) I will try to explain how this can be used. Lets suppose we have the following method to fetch data from the database: BizEntity[] e = bll.ExecuteQuery("type of the business object", " property name of the business object", ....); It takes as first parameter name of the business logic entity which objects I want to get, and other parameters are names of the properties I want to be loaded of the fetched objects (suppose we have a delay loaded business objects).

• SQL Server TargetQueue get disabled automatically ?

  I have a weird problem going on : my SB configuration involves 3 servers. Server A sends a message to Server B. there's a stored proc on Server B that is being activated (using Activation), does some processing and sends the message to server C. on C there's another SP that is activated and it's supposed to insert a record into a table. My problem is that on Server C, the record doesn't get inserted when activation is set to ON. when activation is off on C and I run the proc manually, everything works fine, but when activation is on, the record doesn't get inserted. after this happened I tried to fire the proc manually and I got the following error : Msg 9617, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spMSG_ReceiveMessagesOnSubscriber, Line ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Day 1 - Where you at?

  So day 1 of the XNA madness has come to a close, with many more to follow. How far has everyone gotten on their first game projects I haven't spent nearly as much time as I wanted to on this, but I managed to get my head to bounce around the screen. I think the next step would be to add another head (i.e. angelina jolie) to bounce around. Maybe I'll even add collision detection so that if the heads hit, she says something like "I want you so much!" and I go "Yeah, whatever" and bounce. ...not sure if I should have mentioned the idea for this game...now everyone's going to steal it and make millions. But enough about my awesome game in the works. If anyone has anything worth checking out, upload it somewhere and post the link in this th ...Show All
