• .NET Development Application using WebService

  Hi Have developed an application that is deployed using ClickOnce. Using WebService to access data on the server.

• Visual Basic Debugger problem "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

  There was a similar question posed on the C++ forum back in February to which I responded yesterday, but unfortunately, did not get a response. I am therefore putting this question in the VB forum.

• SQL Server SQL Agent job fails running SSIS packages

  I need some help from you on a problem with SQL Server Agent that I believe many of you have experienced. When searching on the web I find some loose answers, but it would not solve my problems. So here is my story. 1. I have created two SSIS packages, package 1 and package 2. Both packages have a Execute SQL Task making a select sql statement to a table, say Customer in AdventureWorks DB. Package1 also makes a Execute Pacakge Task to Package 2. Both packages have protectionlevel property set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey 2. Then I created two package configuration files per package, one indirect xml configuration and one xml configuration file. The former I created an environment variable called pack1, which was specifying the path ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Multithreading and and "encroachments"

  Hi, I'm developing on a new vb.net-application with the Visual Basic Express Edition . Now I have to use a backgroundworker for a longer process. But I'd like to keep the user up-to-date, what the application is currently doing. So the Backgroundworker has to change some labels in the main Form. Now the Question is: How to get the backgroundworker changing the label in another thread I know, that I have to use invoke and delegate , but I don't know, how. Can someone explain this to me Thanks, Greetings from Germany and Regards, Fabian " Because the backgroundworker uses another thread than the GUI (General User Interface) you are not allowed to write directly to the label.
