• SQL Server BCP Interactive - from script

  I have a script where I'm doing a bcp out - I need to have the script do the format file on export. Is there a way to run bcp interactively from script, accepting the defaults THat way it will make a format file for me. yes, you can bcp in without a format file. We've never ever had to use a format file when bcp'ing in or out. Of course our datatypes always matched, and we always use -n, but I'm sure -c works as well. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modifying BidingSource

  I wonder if I can modify the bindingsource to dispaly specific field from a table rather than displaying the whole table.  Here is what I am talking about.  I am using a commercial grid to display my data. I don't have any problem to display the whole table to the grid. For instance, the following code displays a whole table to the grid. grid1.SetDataBinding(table1BindingSource); Now, I only want to display the FirstName and the LastName I have the following in my form table1BindingSource and db1DataSet From db1DataSet, I can see the following by intellicense; my table names Tabl1 from intellicense I can see Table1.FirstNameColumn and Table1.LastNameColumn; My question, how can I use table1BindingSource and db1DataSet to ...Show All

• SQL Server Question about performance

  I'm using a tableadapter for my update operations. The application i'm using typically creates 2500 dirty rows for a single table and then updates using the tableadapter.Update(). The tableadapter.update() method takes about 50 seconds to complete, which is way too long. This is the only query running agaist the sql server 2000 database ( as this is a test server only), so i'm not sure if it is a problem with sql server or a problem with the tableadapter. Can anyone recomment how to improve performance for updating with the tableadapter and sql 2000 Thanks in advance.   The cpu isn't fully being utilzed on the sql server machine. Here is the exact process: There are 3 tables for this process. I basically c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form Maximize

  Hi, I have two forms, Parent MDI form and a child form In VS 2005, if I use the following code right after InitializeComponent method in the constructor, I am getting two sets of control box buttons. Form2 _frm = new Form2(); _frm.MdiParent = this; _frm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; _frm.Show(); Thanks, Looks like a bug, and a spectacular one at that.

• .NET Development How to create a custom data provider for SQL 2005

Has anyone point me a website or a detailed documentation about it Any helpfull experience about this subject will be great. Thanks...Last thing, this subject may be suitable for ASP.NET section but provider will be written on C#, so i decided to post it also here. Happy Coding... Hi, Some links to g ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Contributor Access being lost for users

  We are having difficulties with users suddenly not being able to edit work items in TFS. We thought this was due to problems with our web based interface, since they can usually add/edit bugs through the Visual Studio IDE even when they couldn't via the web. However, today, one user was unable to edit a bug via the IDE either. The error is: TF26201: This work item has unsupported fields, or user does not have permissions. The users can sometimes work, so we think we've fixed it, then their access appears to be cut off again. It is very frustrating The users are set up in an AD Group, and that group is added as a contributor user. I have found if I remove the group from the contributors, then re-add it, and IISRESET the server, t ...Show All

• .NET Development Disposing an Inherited Class

  Ever since I started to run my application inprocess of another application I have had problems with filestreams not closing. The main program thread does not close, therefore, any child filestreams not explicitly called disposed stay alive. Many of my issues were related to a crash but not always. My latest issue is how MSDN describes using Sub Dispose in a Inherited Class. In the example below setting Me.disposed = true in MyResourceWrapper.Dispose will prevent BaseResource.Dispose from disposing resources when MyBase.Dispose(disposing) is later called. My Questions: 1. Is it okay to remove Me.disposed = true in MyResourceWrapper.Dispose It will be set to this when MyBase.Dispose(disposing) is later called. 2. Is there a wa ...Show All
