• Visual C++ Advanced File IO

  Almost all files generated by a program these days seem to create files that are a lot smaller than they would be as plain text, and are not ussualy readable in a text editor. I have been wondering how you create these writing formats, do you use a set of premade functions or do you have to custom build a set of your own functions to process text and data into the compiled format. Any ideas about how I could go about using these kinds of formats. Thanks in advance. :) Compression is the key. There are plenty of libraries out there for that, both by Microsoft and others.

• SQL Server Using a sproc as a source within Dataflow

  I was wondering what has worked for all of you in regards to using a sproc as a source within a dataflow.  I have had limited success doing this, but maybe there is a workaround I'm unaware of.  Basically, using a SQL command in an OLE DB Source, I run an EXEC statement that returns a resultset from a stored procedure.  I've noticed that depending on how the sproc is structured, I will either get metadata info in the columns tab of the OLE DB Source or not.  Without this metadata of course I can not link it with a destination, since the destination believes that no data is being returned, even if this is not the case.  This all seems to depend on the "final" select statement in the sproc being at the very top of th ...Show All

• SQL Server Transpose of Data

  I want to take transpose of data using single SQl statement. For example, empno Name 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d . . . . as empno 1 2 3 4 .......... name a b c d......... Thanks in advance Mandip You can use PIVOT operator in SQL Server 2005. select pt.[1], pt.[2].... from t pivot (max(name) for empno in ([1], [2], [3], [4] .... )) as pt In older versions of SQL Server, you can use a standard SQL statement like: select max(case t.empno when 1 then t.name end) as [1] , max(case t.empno when 2 then t.name end) as [2] , max(case t.empno when 3 then t.name end) as [3] ... from t Please note t ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Analytical Functions and SQL Express

  Hello, I note that Microsoft indicates that SQL Server 2005 Express Edition supports "SQL Analytical Functions" (refer: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx ). What is this refering to I assume this is not Analysis Services, which I understand is not supported in the Express edition. I can't find any reference to "SQL Analytical Functions" in any Microsoft documentation. Thanks, Nick hi Nick, I can only "guess" that states for the ranking functions , supported by all editions of SQL Server 2005... regards ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Users / Logins (CTP7)

  I'm experiencing some issues regarding users and logins in the CTP7 version. The story: At first, there's no database or login available in the SQL2005 instance When I create a user named testuser in the Schema View , it is nicely added to the users folder as testuser.user.sql . Since it is created without login , I change the piece of the script to for login [testuser] In the Pre-Deployment folder I change the Logins.sql script to create a login if it does not already exist. Why is the testuser sometimes included correctly sometimes included with without login (although the script says for login [testuser] ) sometimes excluded when building the database project Also, I'm not able to just create a login with password=N'wachtwoord' ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Smart Device CAB Project will not rebuild after closing and reopening

  Hello, I created a VS 2005 .NET CF application that uses some third party controls and additional assembly DLLs that I created, some are in the GAC and some are not. When I add a Smart Device CAB Project to my solution and add the primary output of the application project the list of referenced assemblies is properly included into the File System Editor in the CAB project. Then if I close and reopen the solution and look at the CAB projects File System Editor the referenced assemblies will be missing from the list of files to deploy. At this point I can not remove or re-add the primary output of the application project to the CAB project. I have to delete the entire CAB project and create a new one from scratch. If I view the deployment ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer Hangs In "Working" State

  There is one developer who cannot use Team Explorer to view Documents in any team project. When he opens Team Explorer all the projects are visible, and all of the nodes under the projects (work items, reports, builds, etc) work except for Documents. In each project Document only displays a status of "Working". This doesn't appear to be a server side problem. No entries in the event log. The web logs for the SPS site return a few HTTP 200 status codes for request to /_vti_bin/Lists.asmx from this machine. Noone else has any problem, and the developer can view the project's portal with IE. How to troubleshoot Does the user have access to all of the document libraries on the site If not, that is likely the problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System urgent...Dynamic value

  Can someone please tell me while running a web test how to capture a dynamic value from the web test response.e.g., i want to capture an insurance ID when i enter all the member details and could be able to use this ID to enter in my other scripts while running them. I think Josh's response describes what you need to do. I'm basically repeating what Josh said earlier... Add an extraction rule to the "Add" request to extract the insurance ID (something like extraction rule "Extract Text", starts with "Insurance ID" ends with "generated successfully) In the extraction rule you will specify the context variable name to which the extracted value (1223xyz) is associated with (let's say you called it ...Show All
