• SQL Server Variables set via Script task don't change

  I've got a container with two variables: xxxNextFile and xxxLastFile , both with EvaluateAsExpression = False. My container has a dataflow followed by a script task followed by another dataflow. The first dataflow starts with ae existing raw file source from variable xxxLastFile and wants to write output to a new raw file from variable xxxNextFile . The script component then sets the value for xxxLastFile equal to the value of xxxNextFile and generates a new value for xxxNextFile . The final dataflow component does pretty much the same as the first one, i.e. it uses xxxLastFile for the source and xxxNextFile for the destination. I've got two package scoped variables pkgFolderTemp and pkgCurrentTime that I use to come up with a unique file ...Show All

• .NET Development DynamicILInfo.GetTokenFor

  Just want to make sure I understand for what things I need to get tokens and insert them into the byte code stream I am generating. I believe it is anything that is referenced in the byte code stream that would have a metadata token associated with it. Working from the overloads for the GetTokenFor method documented in msdn, that would then be any: byte array, other dynamic method being invoked, field being accessed, assembly-based method being invoked, type, string method on a generic type Before submitting a custom-generated byte code sequence I would want to resolve the metadata tokens for any of these items. And so if I keep my generated byte code along with a record of those offsets that need to be resolved and ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Equivalent tool to Spy++? Debugging .net System assemblies.

  I ran into a great little tool yesterday: .net Reflector http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/  -- a C# decompiler for .net system assemblies, which, I think may become a great friend. But I still can't debug through system code. Has anyone seen tools for debugging through decompiled system assemblies in the Visual Studio debugger That would be a great thing. Either that or open source for WPF. Somebody needs to tell somebody at Microsoft in no uncertain terms that open source for WPF would *definitely* increase programmer productivity on WPF. A lot. *nudge* *nudge* *nudge*. And does anyone know of a tool that's equivalent to Spy++ for WPF Some insight into behaviour of routed events would make it much easier to figure out w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Directories?

  Hi all I feel really stupid posting this question, because I know I saw it somewhere before, just couldn't remember where! Here's my situation: ------------------- I already have: - a listbox named " List1 " - a " Form_Load " sub which calls the " loadorrefreshdata " sub I need some code to do the following: - Get all the sub-folders in a specified directory (" testdir ") - Get the names of these subfolders (not the Directory.GetDirectories, as this returns the full path eg. "C:\Program Files\demofolder1\demosubfolder", where I only want "demosubfolder" as name. - Populate List1 with these names What would be the best way to do this Thanks in advance!

• .NET Development Preserve timestamp

  Hello everyone! Currently I'm working in an application using .NET Framework 1.1. I have to download several files from a server to the client machine, but for security reasons, we would preserve the TimeStamp that the file originally had in the server machine, and have to do this programatically. Do you have some idea about how to achieve this Sorry if this seems a newbie question, but I haven't benn able to find some API or documentation explaining something about this. Thanks in advance! Wow! It has been a long time since I posted to this forum... and was seing that I never came back to tell you what happened... and in fact, I used the LastModified header to set the file date... actually the applic ...Show All

• .NET Development Soap Extension not firing

  I have a Class Library (dll) that calls a web service and includes a form where a I am trying to implement a progress bar using the code in "Adding a Progress Bar to Your Web Service Client Application."

• Visual Studio Team System Saving an object rebuilds entire database?

  I'm using CTP5 and have imported one fairly large DB with around 500 SPs. Every time I save an object (Stored Proc, etc.), it appears that the entire database is rebuilt which temporarily freezes the UI (I presume because it is not done on a separate thread). It would be great if it only rebuilt the current object and didn't rebuild the entire project until you ran a build/rebuild. Please let me know if I'm missing something. As Liangxiao indicated we are not rebuilding the complete project, we are recalculating the dependency graph by logiclaly dropping and recreating child objects, to make sure that the internal dependency tree is correct, therefore see some weirdness in the Schema View UI in CTP5, t ...Show All

I did made some changes to get the code to compile but I don't think that it would make a difference. Anyway, the squigglies that you see are compiler warnings. Their main purpose is to inform you of potentially problematic or inefficient situations. Because they are only warnings your code still compiles and executes just fine. If you f ...Show All
