• Visual Studio Team System BUG?: Source control explorer/checkin asks to save/checkout inappropriate file

  I have a solution loaded that I may have (or may not have made changes to the solution file) - (It didn't ask me to checkout before now... so I don't think I did). I went to source control explorer and checked out a word doc that was not in the solution. I edited it and went to checkin, both from the SCE and the pending checkins window it asks me if I want to save the solution file and gives me Yes, No, Cancel. If I say Yes, it asks me to checkout (which I don't want/need to do and should not be required since the file is unrelated.) If I answer No it doesn't save and doesn't checkin. If I answer cancel it doesn't do anything either. This seems like a significant issue as due to the integration in the IDE I can't work on i ...Show All

• Visual C# Process.start() how to

  Hi All, I'm using process.start() to execute msbuild.exe. Is there any properties or method that I could set or call to wait until it completely finished before the next line of code get executed Best Regards, Process.WaitForExit() doesn't actually start a process. You really must call Process.Start() to start it. I don't know why the OP's code is not working - it looks like it should (with the WaitForExit() call). ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Any issues with .NET framework 2.0?

  Hi, I'd need to mak an IE plugin which connects to another .NET application, using some features available only in the .NET framework 2.0 (I believe). Since I've been googling a lot about this, I haven't found no examples in C# 2.0, but all the plugins for IE are still with .NET 1.1... Anything I should know Where I can find good examples, not only the BandObjects tutorial Bye LastHope The only toolbar I've built for IE was written in .NET 2.0, thanks to some handy features in 2.0 that we simply couldn't live without =] We did ours by (of course) extending the BandObject .NET wrapper. Under "design mode" we built our toolbar as the new ToolStrip control, programmatically adding our items to it (since they were dynamic). ...Show All

• SQL Server Data types question - Varbinary and timestamps

  Greetings once again SSIS friends, I have some source tables which contain timestamp fields (that's timestamp data type not datetime). My dimension table holds the maximum timestamp value as a varbinary(8). I want my package to have a variable that holds that value but I don't know which data type to use for this. The reason for this is because I want to use that variable to then retrieve all records from my source table that have a timestamp value greater than the value stored in the variable. Please advise on what data type is suitable. Thanks for your help in advance. DT_BYTES binary, varbinary, timestamp binary, varbinary, timestamp BigBinary, VarBinary RAW ...Show All

• SQL Server Importing Pervasive SQL into SQL2005 via SSIS

  In SQL 2000, I had a working DTS package that would import a Pervasive SQL database into SQL 2000 (There is a good reason, provided on request). The column type definitions came over just fine in SQL 2000 with a few minor changes. In SQL 2005 (SSIS), i create a Data Source via the Connection Manager (Provider: .Net Providers\Odbc Data Provider) to the Pervasive database (System DSN, <database_odbc>). I then create a Data Destination via the Connection Manager (Provider: Native OLE DB\SQL Native Client) to the SQL database. Both databases reside on the same machine. I've created a DataSource Reader and used the sql command, "select * from ARCustomer" as an example. The issue is with "data types" for the colu ...Show All

• .NET Development sending email in plain text and html

  I am writing a wrapper class to the MailMessage class to make sending emails just a tad bit easier. the MailMessage class has the option of sending an html email OR a plain text email but does not allow for both. I could probably add the headers needed to send both myself, but wondered if there is a built-in way to do this that is not obviously apparent. please advise. thanks, Burr I'm starting to think that the HTML version contains both plain text and html as the header indicates multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative. However, in the NextPart section that contains the text/plain Content-Type as well as the NextPart section that contains the text/html Content-Type, there is nothing...they are totally blank. This could be Outlook ...Show All
