• SQL Server Logging in SSIS

  Hi: Just implemented logging on my package, and the type of logging is to a text file. Any ideas on where should i store my log folder/file, so when I do my build and deploy, I end up moving the folder as well. Do I have to manually do that How would that work What if I save the log file outside of my project folder Where is the log folder/file path specified Thanks. When you set up the logging you created a connection manager to point to the log file right Then all you need to do is to make sure that connection manager is properly configured in the new environment; meaning that the path you specified exists and the user executing the package has access to it. You could use package configuration to set up the connection man ...Show All

• Visual C++ CRect and TEXTMETRICS units

  I'm trying to fill my CEdit with data, and I'm using the following to figure out how many lines of data I can output to the window. CDC * pDC; pDC = m_DisplayWindow.GetDC(); TEXTMETRIC Metrics; pDC->GetOutputTextMetrics(&Metrics); int LineHeight = Metrics.tmExternalLeading + Metrics.tmHeight; // Figure out how many lines can be put into the window. CRect WindowRect; m_DisplayWindow.GetWindowRect(&WindowRect); int WindowHeight = WindowRect.BottomRight().y - WindowRect.TopLeft().y; m_nMaxWindowLines = (WindowHeight/LineHeight + 1); Obviously the units of a CRet and a TEXTMETRICS are different because I'm only getting half the CEdit filled with data. Anyone know a more appropri ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Site and Sub Site List Aggregation

  Is there a way to get all items for any given list (ie Contacts) for all sites and subsite using a single web service call Right now I am getting a list of all sites using "GetAllSubWebCollection" web service method, then for each site get the items for a given list. This is taking a very long time, can I execute a query from the root site and get this same list Thanks no, its not. Basically, the search engine isnt the way to go at all, but instead you will have to use custom code (build your own web service for example) that will run a recursion on the sites. A CAML query on each list will return the items you want and you will be able to aggregate. but instead of doing that, I would ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# Hiding text in pictures

  if anybody can explain how by working with FileStream on Bynaric files' can write text to a picture file by overriding some pixels I assume you're talking about the technique to add a hidden watermark to an image, one that is not perceptible to the eye but can be recovered digitally. That would work with a black and white watermark and a 16 or 24bpp Windows .bmp file. The trick is to make the least significant bit of the Blue component for each pixel a 0 if the watermark pixel is black, a 1 when the watermark pixel is white. You can get that going pretty quickly with the Bitmap class and its GetPixel/SetPixel methods. Note that this won't work on any of the compressed image formats (.png, .jpeg) or on ...Show All

• .NET Development What is the best approach for mapping external data? Any ideas?

  Hi all: My boss and I are having discussions on what is the best way to migrate data from one (unknown) database to our database. Let me explain: We are looking to develop an application that should be able to attach to any ODBC database to grab data or individual records and import them into our database. Here's the problem, we may be unfamilair with the database or how the tables are laid out, we don't know where the data is located (up to their DBA), it could be normalized where our database or table is not, etc... I wanted to have the DBA for the database we are attaching to create a view of some sort or "export" the data into a specified format and then our application just do a field-to-field read into our da ...Show All
