• SQL Server Using expressions with FlatFile connections?

  This seems so obvious, but is causing me a lot of trouble: The flat files input to my SSIS packages may contain an empty line between each row of data, or may be "continuous" without any extra empty lines. Here are small examples of the data I'm working with: With the extra line: "M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg" "M","MFH","Multifamily Mortgage Loans","Multi-Fam Mtg" "R","MIX","Mixed/Various/Unknown","Mixed/Various" Without the extra line: "M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg" "M","MFH","Mult ...Show All

• SQL Server Report pages - reduce render time

  Is there a way to minimize the number of pages obtained from a report. My report has more than 9000 pages. I want to minimize the number of pages as it would fasten the rendering of the report in excel,pdf formats. how would one do this is there any expression . your help is very much appreciated. I am tearing my hair to minimize the time taken to render a report.! help pls! Thanks, You say the report is 9000 pages, so what did you have in mind when you say "minimize the number of pages" -- it seems like you already know how big the report is. If you only need to see some of the 9000 pages at a time, or only certain people need to see certain pages, you should filter the data (preferably at the data source) with paramete ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Install and Registry Changes

  Hi, We're working through the Certified for Vista Logo process and have struck an issue with one of the test cases. I'm referring to test case 15 which calls for a registry compare before and after install. The requirement is that there should be no changes to the registry during a ClickOnce install. We have found (and so has the testing authority) that changes do occur as the tools used (RegDump and RegDiff) show differences. Some changes seem to have to do with operating system stuff and don't relate to the install at all. I suppose those could be explained away. There are however a number of entries that seem to relate to the install. A small example: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1053833859-2623809191-2711474811-1003\Software\Classes ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. PlayerIndex?

  I need some help and explaining of PlayerIndex and how to use it. this is an example of what I want to do: "for (int i = 0; i < Players.Length; i++) { if (XInputHelper.GamePads[i\].APressed) { GamePad.SetVibration(i, 1.0f, 1.0f); } }" Players is an Array of all the player objects. I want to cycle all my players and start to rumble that specific controller, but I don't know how to easily transform the int i = 0 too PlayerIndex.One (i\ should be only i in brackets but this forum displays a light bulb if i write that) Cheers Alfons Depending on the actual value assigned to the enums, you could just cast to it from int ... so something like: PlayerIndex p = (PlayerIndex)0; //should give you Pla ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can I get particular files from the source repository?

Now, when I am automating the build this folder doesn't get copied from the source repository. Is there any specific commands I have to add Like some target - "get this Lib before compilation", etc. When you created a team build type, one of the (3) files that got created and stored under your Team Build type folder in source control is WorkspaceMappings.xml.

• Software Development for Windows Vista U3 USB Drives

  Hello Everyone, As the title suggests I'm having issues with my 1gb Verbatim U3 Smart USB key. Vista detects it and installs the drivers correctly. Clicking on the removable storage icon that appears in Computer brings up the following msg: "Please insert a disk into drive H:" All my other USB drives that are non-U3 have no issues.

• SQL Server Semi-additive measures and date filters

  While testing against a very small cube, we've noticed that a query in the BIDS browser that uses a date filter with semi-additive measures (either LastNonEmpty or AverageofChildren) runs very slowly or never returns at all. When the same measures are used with the same date hierarchy as rows, the query response is very fast. Any other dimension can be used in the filter without this issue. The semi-additive measures work correctly in either case. We have the lastest hotfix ( 2153) applied to Enterprise Edition. Our customer browser applications shows the same behaviour as OWC in BIDS. Anyone have any ideas on why this doesn't work See the latest hotfix at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Show ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem using SqlDataAdapter/Query builder

  I'm having problems accessing my tables' columns using the "Data adapter configuration wizard" in Visual Studio 2003. It is connected to an MS SQL 2005 database.
