• SQL Server Book

  Hi, Can you recommend a book on SSIS. I am particularly interested in books which demonstrate a particular project from start to finish while going through chapters. Thanks Neither book is based on a case study. If you want a case to study, Project Real is a good start, and includes good documentation. The books stand on their own as good learning and references guides. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Version Number of ClickOnce application

  I want to display the version number of a Click Once application in my About box. Any ideas on the easiest way to get this It appears to be in the MyApp.exe.manifest file, but I'm wondering if there is a better/easier way I'm guessing there's nothing directly in the framework, as the app doesn't know how it's deployed, but I could be wrong. TIA, Bill Hi, you can take a look at System.Deployment namespace: if (System.Deployment.Application. ApplicationDeployment .IsNetworkDeployed) {     Version version = System.Deployment.Application. ApplicationDeployment .CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion;     string versionString = version.ToString(); } Note: th ...Show All

• SQL Server Deployment on load balanced servers.

  Hi, I'm trying to solve the problem with deploying sql code on load-balanced application server. Normally when we put new feature\fix live we take one server out of the loop, than we put new app code, we test it and then we bring it back to the loop. But we've started to have a problem when we had to change stored procedures at the same time to run the new app code, becouse either 'test' server won't work either production application won't work. I wonder is there any good solution for this problem. Regards Piotr. P.S. Sorry for the forum topic but I didn't know where to put it. That was very helpful, but I'm more after stored procedure versioning solution. Sometimes we need old and new code running (part of requests are hitting old ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem of adding trusted accounts to reporting services: 'Some or all identity references could not be translated'

  Hi I created a new database called "TestReportServer" as mentioned in the installation instruction but I didn't see (or could select) the option "Create the report server database in SharePoint integrated mode". How can I select this option Do I need to remove the reporing services and reinstall it again Any suggestions After creating the database I get the error 'Some or all identity references could not be translated'. The user I selected is a local administrator and has permission to all groups starting with wss. I guess the database is not created as a sharepoint integration mode as I can start Server Management Studio and see the database. Is that a correct assumption I hope somebody out there can he ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security timestamp problem

  Hi, I have a service with "message security". When I try to connect to server I receive this error : "The security time is invalid because its creation time "15/01/2007 13:39:40" is in the future. Current time is "15/01/2007 13:34:27" and allowed clock skew is "00:05:00" The date/time in both (Client and Server) are same and isn't "13:" but "10". In the server is "en-US" and in the client "pt-BR" so GMT -3 is correct from client but I'm using the same date/time in both. Why WCF uses it if we can connect from diferrent culture with diferent data/time In others computer all work fine...one using "pt-BR" and other "en-US". ...Show All

• Windows Forms DesignMode disable selecting control

  Hi together, I have an application which can be set in design mode while running. Now I have the problem that I don't want the user to select several control in design mode. Regarding I have two button on the design surface ("A" and "B") I don't want the user to be able to select button "A". How can this be done Do I need to get a special service from the DesignSurface class, or has this to be done in the control (in my case button "A") itself. I have seen there is a ISelectionService, but as it seems there is no way to disable a selection of a specific user control.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Array Assistance

  I have a couple of textboxes for user input. They will put in the number of answers to a specific question. For example TextBox1.Text they enter in 7 for "yes" TextBox2.Text they enter in 4 for "no" So I need to get the answer values into an array. Textbox1 value is "YES", Textbox2 values is "NO" So I need an array that would be "YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, NO, NO, NO, NO" Could someone point me in the right directions. Thank you I have to say I don't really understand what you are trying to do, however if you want an array to hold just the two "values" Yes and No then a boolean array might be sui ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI Best Practices: .h versus .cpp files

  Hi, I find it mildly unsettling that Visual Studio 2005 seems to put much if not all code for a generated C++/CLI class into the .h file. Shouldn't most of the actual code for a class be written to the .cpp file with the .h file being left for declarations alone Is a new convention forming that suggests otherwise For you folks already programming in C++/CLI, how do you decide what code goes into what files Thanks...Joe "Is a new convention forming that suggests otherwise " No. C++/CLI works much the same as standard C++. It's just the designer that places code in the header file and this is most probable caused by a designer limitation (think that C++ is the only language that has this header/source file d ...Show All
