• SQL Server Execute Package Task: setting child variables

  Hi, Let's say I have a package taking as parameter "InvoiceID". I want to execute this package as a child in another package. The parent package gets the list of invoices to produce and calls the child package for each entry of the list. How do I pass the InvoiceID to the child I know I can use the parent's variables from the child but I don't want the child package to be dependant on the parent package. For example, I might want to execute the "child" package as a stand-alone in development (providing it with a predefined InvoiceID). I might also want to call the same child package from another parent package with other variable names. What I would like to do is "push" the value instead of "pulli ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating image album/list

  Hi, I'm trying to create something like this: http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/6451/smilieshn6.gif Basically it would load all images from a folder I specify and create this image list. Should I dynamically create PictureBox elements or is there a better way to do this My second question is how to get Image format (jpeg, gif, png...) if I have image path but file extension does not match its type. For example: all files are named *.test. Thanks :) Load an image thus: System.Drawing.Image image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(fileName); It will load jpegs/bmps/gifs etc, regardless of the extension.  Once it's loaded it's basically 'typeless', ie. it's just a bitmap in memory.  You can sa ...Show All

• Visual C# How to create a macro language

  Hi I would like my application to have a macro language that among other things can execute small scripts at runtime to test certain conditions and set object attributes in my application. Any suggestions on how to achieve this Can C# be executed runtime or should I rely on the VB Script engine Any suggestions on how to approach this Rgds Bertrand There are basically two ways you can do this. Either you can create, compile, and run .NET code at runtime, or you can use an interpreted language. If you do the former, you'll have to package your runtime code into a static method or the like, compile it, load the resulting DLL into your application domain, and then use reflection to call t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Changing ComboBoxItem Properties from a DataTemplate Hosted in the ComboBoxItem Container

  I'm trying to change the ComboBoxItem's IsEnabled property from a DataTemplate and I can't figure out how to do it. How can I change the property of a ComboBoxItem container from the DataTemplate that's hosted in the ComboBoxItem container Is it even possible Kevin Thinking of it, a binding of TwoWay will work just fine too but have different semantics, aka if the ComboBoxItem IsEnabled gets changed, so will your root element, whereas OneWayToSource will set the parent to whatever the child decides. ...Show All

• SQL Server Query much slower on 2005 compared to 2000

  We have a database developed using SQL Server 2000. We are in the process of testing it on SQL Server 2005. So far i've not done much testing but it has become apparant quickly that quite a lot of queries are performing much slower in SQL Server 2005. I am currently trying to figure out why a particular query is not performing well. One SQL Server 2000 it runs in around 6 seconds. On SQL Server 2005 it takes around 50 seconds. The query is this... SELECT StartBase, StartPoint, PickupPoint, PickupInstructions, SingleJourney, Destination FROM vwJobs WHERE StartDateTime BETWEEN '2006-09-01' AND '2006-09-23' vwJobs is a view in our database. The view includes many UDF's and also has a UNION which combines two seperate table structures ...Show All

  I am currently using OLEDB to read the data from excel using C#. I have a scenario in which i will pass a NamedRange and I need to get the data from the NamedRange and also I need to read the data from the cell adjacent to the NamedRange. What I was planning to do is to get all the data in a dataset and then if I have the absolute range information of a NamedRange, i can filter the dataset based on that and i can read the cell adjacent to it from the dataset. But now am not able to find any way to get the absolute range of a named range. I have tried using " GetOleDbSchemaTable", but it will provide the absolute range information only if there are header information in Excel.Else it will return default values F1, F2..etc. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using another controls events

  Hey! This is a follow up on my last thread about Office 2007-like window frame . This is what I have done, pseudocode: Window window = new Window(); window.WindowStyle = none; and then in my app my visualtree looks something like this: Dockpanel main = new DockPanel(); WrapPanel wp = new WrapPanel(); main.Children.Add(wp); and "main" has "window" as parent. Everything is looking fine, however, I miss the feature to move the window, maximize/minimize it with the mouse. How can I do this To do this I have tried the following: I put a Label in the WrapPanel and then adds eventlisteners to them like this: lbl.MouseDoubleClick += new System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventHandler(lbl_MouseDoubleClick); And then we ...Show All
