• .NET Development arrays to sql server table

  Using vb8, I would like to be able to programmatically save data in arrays to an existing sql server 2005 table. I've found tons of info on how to load db data into arrays but not the reverse. Can anybody offer some clues Not to be sarcastic, but if you know how to get an array out of a database, why can't you just do that procedure in reverse to get it back into the database    If there is some part, specifically, that is confusing please post the relevant code for us to see. ...Show All

• SQL Server Enable remote connections with an SQL server created with Visual Webdeveloper 2005

  Hi there, I just recently started using visual webdeveloper SQL in general, and have been driven insane by my problem. I dont really know how to use the SQL express, but i need to enable remote connections on the database so that the membership and login will work.

• SQL Server Flat File Source Problem...

  I have a weird thing happening. I have an .csv file. When I try to load it into a table, I can do it easily in DTS 2000. But when I am trying to do it in SSIS 2005 with exactly the same settings (like Text qualifier, row delimiter etc.), I am getting an error: "The last row in the sampled data is incomplete. The column or the row delimiter may be missing or the text is qualified incorrectly." I looked at the file and it looks complete to me. What could be the problem P.S. DTS 2000 is on 32-bit Windows, and SSIS 2005 is on 64-bit Windows 2003 . Could that we a problem No, what strange is that those 2 characters ARE the last characters in the row (and each row), and there is nothing else there. Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build fails with 0 errors?

  I've noticed that in a Team Build, if you use a task like <Exec> with ContinueOnError="true" and it fails, even though the log at the end of the build says Errors=0 (the error was "converted to a warning"), Team Build still sets the status of the build as Failed when it clearly has succeeded. What gives I am going to create dummy targets that mach the names in the .targets file, and execute them all. Since they won't do anything, they should all successfully complete, and this I hope will trick the build engine into thinking it's successful. I'm working on that now -- I'll let you know what my findings are. Flexible isn't necessarily the right word... I guess the primary de ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista StateMachineTrackingService Missing

  Hi I have tried in vain to get an instance of the StateMachineTrackingService using Beta 2. I have all the required namespaces but can unfortunately not get StateMachineTrackingService. Can someone tell me what I'm missing I can run some of the examples that use it. Please HELP I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do here, but here are some ideas: 1) look at the ordering state machine which has examples in it for using the StateMachineWorkflowInstance class to view information on the workflow. 2) There are some bugs in this class in the Feb CTP. Try upgrading to beta 2.2 and see if that fixes them for you. 3) post your specific problem you are having and people will likely be more a ...Show All

• SQL Server Top-Variable-Case

  Hi, I have something like the following in a stored procedure. SELECT DISTINCT top @rowCount a,b,c FROM tblA ORDER BY c DESC The @rowcount value is passed in by the user to the SP. It can be 0 or >0. Do I need to write two queries - one using the TOP keyword as above and another with no TOP as follows: IF @rowcount>0 SELECT DISTINCT top @rowCount a,b,c FROM tblA ORDER BY c DESC ELSE SELECT DISTINCT a,b,c FROM tblA ORDER BY c DESC Or...is there some other construct (such as CASE - which I tried but couldn't get to work) that can handle this condition-check from within the query Thanks much.

• Visual FoxPro Memory leak in COM Server when passing array data?

  Hi, I'm trying to investigate why calls to our VFP COM Server seems to leak memory and hopes somebody can explain what is wrong. When following the memory consumption on the COM Server process instance in the Windows Task Manager the 'Mem Usage' explodes. I've created a scenario involving VFP and VB that seems to reproduce the problem. I'm using VFP 9 SP1 and VB 2005 (as included in Visual Studio 2005 SP1). The VFP program is very simple: DEFINE CLASS ComServer AS CUSTOM OLEPUBLIC FUNCTION PassArray( theArray[] AS Variant @ ) AS Boolean RETURN .T. ENDFUNC ENDDEFINE It has been build as a Win32 COM Server executable (comserver.exe). Because I've building from inside VFP9SP1 the COM Server is registered automa ...Show All
