• SQL Server SSIS and the Receive Command

  I built a system where I am sending batches of messages using a single conversation. I want to pull these messages out of my queue using Service Broker. I may have more than one batch sitting in the queue waiting to be picked up, so.... In my SSIS package i started by getting a unique list of conversation_handles where the message type is my end of batch message ( should only be one per batch). Then I used the foreach loop construct thinking I could pass the conversation_handles around and into the data flow. In the data flow I want to pull all of the messages at once. It looks like the receive statement is designed to do this with the concept of using a table variable. So I built this SQL to use in for the SQL Command of my OLE ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [WCF-RC1] Adding claims in UserNamePasswordValidator

  OK, another dumb *** question (folks, I am _trying_ to research these things first before bothering you, and I'm starting to feel like a child who can't do his homework!) My STS is based on the Federation example in the RC1 release, and it uses a custom UserNamePasswordValidator to validate the client credentials. In the Validate method, I look up the user in the DB, validate the password etc and return true. Then, within the GetIssuedClaims override that "Issue" calls, I need to create the claims that will be added to the SamlToken. However, the values of the claims that I want to add are stored in the DB in the row that I just looked up in the Validate method, and I really don't see why I would need to look them up again. How c ...Show All

• Gadgets Can someone test my gadget please?

  I posted my gadget a couple weeks ago and it has gotten a good number of downloads (~1500 atm) but mostly negative response. I suspect the problem is that I developed and tested this gadget on Vista RTM, but the Gallery only lets you choose "RC1" as the newest compatibility level (stupid ). I have not had any problems loading into the Sidebar on any RTM machine. What would really help me is to get a few people try to load it up and make sure it is working properly under a variety of environments (RC1, RC2, Beta, RTM, whatever), so I can figure out what the issue is that people are having. You won't be able to test the full functionality of the gadget because it requires you to have a particular type of webcam to stream video. ...Show All

• SQL Server Running Database Diagrams Designer

  New user here. I am following a step-by-step tutorial for Visual Studio 2005 and am in the process of creating the database. I have created the tables, and the instructions now recommend that I use the Database Diagrams tool to define the relationships. The instructions read "In the Server Explorer, right click the Database Diagrams folder and select Add New Diagram."  But my Server Explorer does not display a Database Diagrams folder under my new database. Trying to follow recommendations on various Help screens, I have launched SQL Server Management Studio 2005 and connected to my database there. Here, a Database Diagrams folder appears -- but when I right click, there is no "Add New Diagram" option; the only choices are ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting foreground and background to be the same when a control is disabled

  Can someone suggest XAML code that would set the foreground and background of a control (say a TextBox) to be the same when it is disabled as it was when it was enabled. I mean if the Background was white and Foreground was Black when the TextBox was enabled, if the TextBox is disabled, the Background and Foreground should remain the same and not be grayed out. you can do something like this(removed the trigger which changes the colors when the textbox is not enabled) < Style x:Key = " {x:Type TextBox} " TargetType = " {x:Type TextBoxBase} " > < Setter Property = " SnapsToDevicePixels " Value = " True " /> < Setter Property = &qu ...Show All

• Visual J# JBIMP chokes on my .jar file

  I am using a GPLed utility (Hugo Liu's Montylingua) which is distributed as a .jar file that was compiled from Python source with jython. I would like to call this from a C# program.

• SQL Server Performance degradation after replication rolled out

  Hi all. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. We recently created transactional replication to hopefully improve performance issues we were expereincing. The replication is between 2 SQL Servers (2000), and since we have introduced the replication, the performance has degraded considerably. I will try and explain the scenario. We have a primary db that our internal users use and we also have the newly replicated db that our website and another application use. The users are complaining that the website and the internal application is extremely slow and I was just wondering if it is possible to do an Index Tuning on both the primary db and replicated db based on trace files so as to create new indexes or would this have a ...Show All
