• SQL Server Invalid Character in Flat File or Turncate problem

  My source is a csv flat file. Currently I use that same flat file on SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. On SQL 2000 it runs fine and it inserts that character as part of the string (varchar), however, it gives me truncate error on sql 2005. I already use the "Suggest Types...." and my Output columns have the correct lenght (specially that lehght of that column is only 30 char which is less than the default anyways).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF + Add-ins = No security?

  I have been looking at the problem of add-ins for a UI intensive application with WPF.  From the reliability point of view, and general security advice, add-ins should be in a protected app domain.  From a programmer point of view the add-ins should have access to WPF rather than some application-specific proxy API.  But, I have not seen any solution that does both.  I would like the add-ins to be able to modify the UI of the application (add menus, add content to the document being edited, etc).  I could force the add-in to use a private API that can be marshaled between domains, and achieve the separation.  But, then I need to have an API that duplicates WPF.  Even for a very thin API this is not workab ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving States and Transitions to new Work Item Types - what gets left behind?

  We are encountering a number of situations at our client sites that involve modifying Process Templates to 'correct' the client's attempts at designing new workflows. That is, clients have used template modification tools such as PTE to add work item types and global lists and work item type fields and work item type states and transitions and reasons. Then they have used witimport to upload the changes to specific TFS projects. Of course, they need to modify each TFS project to make the changes apply consistently to each new project. By the time we arrive on the scene, they have realized they now understand their process more better and they want to make a more organized modification. So the problem that is arising centers on ...Show All
