• SQL Server SSIS : Flat File input and XML output

  Hi All, I want to know is it possible to have source as Flat File and destination as XML Thanks in advance, Shagun SSIS does not have an XML destination, so no you can't. You can build your own in a script task. See if this helps: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1123712&SiteID=1 There is also mention in that thread in regards to the samples at Microsoft having a DataSet Destination which will allow for saving to an XML file. I have not looked at it. ...Show All

• .NET Development AccessViolationException with C# Ping class

  I have a "watchdog" program, c# console application, coded with VS 2005. Program runs every 3 minutes. And one part of program checks pings to ~20 ip's. I'll give that function code: static private bool ping ( ref String ip) { bool success = false ; Ping pingSender = new Ping (); if (pingSender.Send(ip).Status.Equals( IPStatus .Success)) { success = true ; } else { success = false ; } return success; } Usually this works.. but sometimes (once a day on the average) it throws an exception and program crashes: Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. I checke ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Alpha blended video

  I have heard that WPF/E will support a new codec called WMV + Alpha. I assumed, therefore, that you could do alpha blended video in WPF. Unfortunately I have looked and looked online to try and find any video format that will run in windows media player which supports an alpha channel. I have some neat greenscreen test videos, that I can get into whatever format I need, but I can't find any. Does this feature, alpha blended video, work in WPF today If so what video format(s) can I use with this feature Is there an experimental codec I can download to at least start building my application Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to support alpha channel video in WPF v1.0. I also don't know of any ava ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office BMP for Licensing Add-Ins?

  If I am a VSTO solution developer, how do I ensure that my customers do not deploy more copies of the add-in I have sold to them Thanks, Tad There is no direct support and as such the only way would be to use a kit like suggested and or write a simple security mechanism that validates a license such as through a webservice call, remembering the privacy and or network access. As it is a vsto template you are able to get access to the local machine if needed to ask for validation of the license key as such. I can hear your cry for a standard to help on this though.

• Visual C# How do I refrance an object after I have created it ?

  I have created a class called clsserver and it inherits from the Picturebox class. Basically it is a picture of a server and displays as different colours as the status of the server is found, ie green is good, yellow might be a problem and red is can not access. With the Gui I can display multiple server on the screen ie 15 of these clsserver classes left to right, top to bottom. In the code I have called the instances of the class server. for each server I run this code. Server = new SQLServerMonitor.Server. clsServer () Server.Name = ThisServerName //IP of the server Server.Parent = pnlbackPanel; //calculate where to place the picture box on the screen if (ServerCount !=1) Calculateposistion( ref Left, ref ...Show All

• Visual C++ Intellisense becoming unable to resolve objects

  I'm posting this here and not in the general Visual Studio forum because my experience so far tells me the situation with C++ is different than with, say, C# (I have so far at least one example where VS's tools behave worse in the C++ environment than in that of C#). I have Intellisense getting confused and unable to resolve objects so often that I find myself closing the solution, deleting the *.ncb file, and reopening the solution. It almost makes me wish I had a "rebuild Intellisense" button... Kamen Thanks a lot Kamen for your feedback! I really appreciate such discussion and honestly, I am not taking this personally at all. I truely want to enhance the VC++ product and hence extremely eager to work with you to ge ...Show All

• .NET Development Run .NET executable over the network

  What do I need to do to run a VB .NET executable over the network I have written a simple VB .net program. It works fine when executed locally, but simply will not run when executed over the network. For example, when connecting to the folder via the UNC path (Start -> Run \\ServerName\ShareName ), and then doubleclicking on the executable in the Debug or Release folder, the mouse changes to a wait icon for a second or two and then returns to normal. The program never runs. Event logs don't show any log entries related to this program. Several google searches have hinted at security (that's why I'm posting here). I've granted full Control to Everyone to the Share and Full Control to Everyone for NTFS (it's a test environment), ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't delete orphaned version control project

• Visual Studio UNDO no longer working...

  I was working ASP remotely (bad network connectivity) and when I returned to the office, the UNDO feature no longer works. That's to say, whenever I'm in the editor (VB) and I code, the UNDO button no longer ENABLES itself and, syntax errors take a while to reveal themselves. Being in the office. I'm just a stones throw from the development server... Connectivity shouldn't be an issue... In fact, browsing the pages of the project using Internet Explorer reveals little to no lag.
