• SQL Server Forward looking thought: Raw Files

  I assume that MS has a directive never to change the format of SSIS raw files... However, what I'd like to know is that when I'm planning long-term systems where I've got backups of data (staging, logging, whatever) using raw files, can I be assured that future versions of SSIS will be able to read those raw files I assume a certain level of backwards compatibility, however, I'm just curious if I should think about building processes into my projects that would factor that in and rebuild raw files everytime a new/major release of SSIS comes out. Phil We may change the format of SSIS raw files in any version. If we do, then we will ensure that the previous version can be read – but we will not make a continuing guarantee that every ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using LUA/UAP in custom applicatons

    Hi, The December CTP of Vista has a modified version of UAP/LUA. There's a shield icon (windows colors) next to any setting that requires aleveated status (brings up the verification dialog instead of an earlier dialog that asked for admin password). Also, for other tasks such as opening a file, modifying registry, modifying the drive, etc the dialog pops up asking the user to verify the action. The question being, if I have several settings in my application that I'd like to be either Admin specfic or just out of concern I don't want the user to click on that unknowingly (i.e. might pose a danger to the system/security, etc). What should I be doing are there APIs in the platform SDK/Windows SDK for Vista that allow me to b ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need basic information on Bitmaps and Images.

  Hi, I'm currently working on a routine which calls data from half a dozen Sql tables, produces from one to six drawings on a page, then prints out the result using ScreenCapture. The printing is done on a Hp LaserJet and there is a delay of 15+ seconds from downloading to printer, to getting the print out. Would it be feasible to save the drawings as Bitmaps in Image files in a Collection, and if so, would the print time be quicker or longer. Tailor Would it be feasible to save the drawings as Bitmaps in Image files in a Collection Yes. and if so, would the print time be quicker or longer. My guess it that the latency is with the printer itself. I would not th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question on DataGridView Data

  Pardon me for posting twice in quick succession, but I've always found that if I post two questions in a thread, only one gets any attention. I've got a DataGridView where each line displays information from a class called 'Flag', which has a number of variables. One of these variables is a URL for a page that the particular 'Flag' pertains to. But rather than displaying the URL in a column, I'd like to display a clickable link that just says "Video" and, when clicked, opens a new window with the URL. How can this be done The only things I'm familiar with on DataGridViews are .DataPropertyName and .Name, so I don't have any idea how to set all the text for a column to one text value, or how to handle the click event of each ...Show All

• SQL Server datetime to date

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. problems creating a triangle strip for a terrain section

  Hi I am having a few problems creating an index buffer for a triangle strip for a terrain section. I have a section similar to the following. 0 - 1 - 2 | / | / | 3 - 4 - 5 | / | / | 6 - 7 - 8 I define my triangle strip using the following indices also with one degenerate triangle, I have bolded it so it stands out better. 0, 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, 5, 3 , 3, 6, 4, 7, 5, 8 My first question is, is this degenerate correct it seems to be correct, but my next problem is what confuses matters as it really affects wether my terrain tile renders correctly without gaps.
