• SharePoint Products and Technologies How can I execute code in Session Start/End, Application Start/End, etc.?

  If I have code that needs to execute on Session Start, or Application Start, etc., what is the proper way of adding this code for a Sharepoint web application Just add global.asax as with ASP.NET SharePoint already installs with a global.asax file. You could modify it directly, but the standard 'modifying installed SharePoint files' disclaimer applies: hotfixes, patches, etc. could overwrite any changes you make to the file. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dynamic tabs and messages

  Hi everyone, I have a dialog box set up that has several tabs on it. This is a communications dialog box which handles incoming messages across my TCP/IP connection with a server. These messages can be related to different things, for example, and each tab on my dialog box is a representation of these different message types. Each tab contains a text box and my messaging function writes incoming messages to the text box. That bit is easy; done. One of the messaging functions that I want to implement is the ability to initialise outgoing messages to other users connected to the servers. Now I know how to do that as far as the network programming goes, it's easy. But I want people to be able to initialise messages with as many peop ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS performance

  Hi, I have 4 execute packages say A, B, C, D. These packges contains packages for data transfer in turn. Package A - 15 packages Package B - 15 packages Package C - 20 packages Package D - 20 packages When i run these packages one at a time in the order A, B, C, D then the execution time is around 17 mins. If I make a parent package and put A, B, C, D in sequence in it, executing this parent package increases the execution time to arnd 50 mins. Pacakge A, B, C, D doesnot run in parallel. They run one at a time. So i was wondering why the there is so much time difference. Please let me know if theres some configuration settings to make the parent package efficient. All the test conditions are same in both the c ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing Remote Computer's Information

  Okay, I'm creating a Visual Basic .NET 2005 Windows Service. I need it to periodically access some remote servers for their information. Right now, I'm working with drive information, so I'm trying to get the total space and the amount remaining on the drive of the remote server. How do I go about doing that I'm trying to keep this service centrally located so that it can access 3 separate servers without loading and configuring it individually. I tried My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo() and System.IO.DriveInfo, but, predictably, they only access local drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Well, those computers probably think of your code as some stranger wandering into their house and trying ...Show All

• .NET Development Parsing double value from a string

  Hi all, I need to parse a string which is in the following format (example): -0.0004 USD/Tonnes Basically, it will be a double value, might be preceded by the negative (-) sign and followed by <Currency>/<Unit of Measure> . The result should be just the double value (with the sign if its there), as in the above example, it should translate to -0.0004 I wanted to know if there is an easy way of doing it in C#, like using the Double.Parse() or the string.Format() methods (I tried them both but couldn't get them to work) Or do I have to parse the string character-by-character to get the required result Thanks in advance, MadMonk P.S.: Apologies if its a silly question, I'm still a newbie in .NET ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Which VSTO edition should I be using?

  Earlier I downloaded the "Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System" and now I see there's a "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System" download that is available. I had to remove everything because I was experiencing problems when trying to run in debug mode (The ApplicationStartUp event was not firing, but that's another story). Now I get the following error which occurred after I remove the first VSTO install and then installed the latest.
