• .NET Development Cannot make editions with XPathNavigator (CanEdit==false)

  Hi I have problems with XPathNavigator. It's not editable. I dont understand why. I load a table from SqlServerExpress into a DataSet. This dataset is used when creating a XmlDataDocument. And this document Im using to create a XPathNavigator. But the XPathNavigator.CanEdit is false. Why :( I want to edit/add using XPathNavigator, and then have the datatable synchronized with the database. After applying stuff with the XPathNavigator, I call "AcceptChanges" on the DataSet to have the database updated as well. This should work, shouldn't it " SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Integrated Security=SSPI; Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=TestDB"); con.Open(); SqlCommand com = con.CreateCommand(); ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute SQL Task not running?

  Hi All, I have a strange problem that I can't find any information about and was hoping someone could help me out. Some background: * I am calling an SSIS package from ASP.Net using the in-process, .net methods. * I am importing a flat file into a staging SQL Server table using the OLE DB Destination. * After I import the data, I call some Execute SQL Tasks that does some cleaning of the data. * I then move the data from the staging table to a final table. Here's the problem: When the SQL Task like this: WHILE @@rowcount > 0 UPDATE Staging_Table SET [Test1] = REPLACE([Test1], SUBSTRING([Test1], PATINDEX('%[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]%', [Test1]), 1), ' ') WHERE PATINDEX('%[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]%', [Test1]) <> 0 is supposed to be run, sometimes i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLINQ and Biz Rules/Data Validation

  Hi there, Are there any plans to include some hooks into a DLINQ objects life cycle to allow for easy valication I was thinking along the Rails ActiveRecord path where the DAO has validation build in that is automatically applied before an objects is saved. So in DLINQ what I really want to do is add some validation code to a known method(s) in my class - say orders as an example and have DLINQ check this during a save, and return false/ throw an exception if it does not pass validation. Anyone been able to achieve this with DLINQ, or does anyone at MS know if there are any plans to include it Thanks. Hi Jay, Thanks for the response. Property gettters/Setters are OK, but a lot of the time you need to perform entity level validat ...Show All

• SQL Server Does MS plan a GUI

  Hello all, We are planning to base a product on Microsoft SQL-2005 Notification services. However, one of the required properties from this software is to provide the client administrator a user interface to configure the Instance Configuration File (ICF) and Application Definition File (ADF). Working with XML files will not do for us, once the responsibility is delegated from a developer to an administrator. Before going into the process of writing such an application from scratch, I would like to know if Microsoft has such an enhancement on the SQL-NS roadmap, and if so, when it is scheduled to. Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge Thanks Ziv G. Hi Ziv - ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MSMQ Activation does not work

  Hi, I've developed several WCF services using netMsmqBinding. When receiving new messages from the service client, the server-side service does not automatically start. In order to start the service, I need to open a browser and open the service help-page or WSDL. I've configured the hosting environment (WAS, IIS7, Vista) according to the documentation: 1. The WCF service is using an application pool running under a specific user account. 2. The Net.Msmq Listener Adapter service is running under the same user account. 3. The related MSMQ queues provides Full access for the user account. 4.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture Surface Level

  I am encountering problems sizing using the following code: textureA = TextureLoader.FromFile(device, filename); SurfaceA = textureA.GetSurfaceLevel(0); the file that I am using for textureA has dimensions of 549 x 710 yet the SurfaceA is coming up with dimensions of 1024 x 1024. What am I missing Thanks! Hmm. It appears that in grabbing a surface from a texture created from a file, the size of it defaults to the nearest multiple of 512...I just lowered the image dimensions manually, resaved it and slightly below 512 in each value and it came up as 512. Interesting. Ok, next question is I am trying to render a .PNG file texture (the image is not a hard rectangle...it has curved edges) onto a blank textur ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to Rotate Text in RTF

  Hi Folks, Any RTF experts out there I want to insert a text object that is rotated like what you can do in Powerpoint's text box or Word's Word Art. Unfortunately, when either is saved in RTF, the text content is lost in the raw code, so I cannot do a search and replace on the rotated text. Word only saves the text content if the text box is used with the alignment changed to vertical. Is there any way to create rotated text that is visible in the RTF code I am prepared to insert all the required positioning code myself, if I only knew what was required. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Hi Nobugz, I must be missing something here. My version of Word 2002 does not allow free ...Show All

• SQL Server ReportViewer error "Page navigation is out of range"

  I am embedding the ReportViewer in an aspx page and the report comes up fine, but when I press the "Next Page" or "Last Page" buttons, I get the error: "Page navigation is out of range". The application has session state turned off. The problem occurs whether or not the viewstate for ReportViewer is turned on or off. How can I fix this problem A follow-up question on this - the workaround is great. I noticed that the "pages" are longer now than my paper size is set to (they seemed to match my paper size when async was set to true). Async I have 18 pages (same with PDF export) - No async and I only have 5 long pages. Any idea if there is a way to control/set this Tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Distributed Deployment Issue; Need Help; Please Reply

  Overview: I have created an Excel Template project using VSTO 2005. I have deployed my solution to a shared folder on my server and modified that server's security accordingly. On my client's machine, I installed the pre-requisites and added the security group pointing towards the shared folder. I then created a shortcut to the .xlt file located in the shared directory and placed it on my client's desktop. My client can then run the template. *Note: I did nothing with the application or deployment manifests during the install. In fact, I never even generated them.

• Visual Basic app.config settings

  I have a solution made up of 2 projects; ProjA is a windows forms app, and ProjB is a Data Access DLL. ProjA references ProjB and uses methods and objects from ProjB to get it's data. The connection information for ProjB is defined in an app.config file (within ProjB). When running within VS2005 everything work fine (i.e changes to the settings are reflected in the connection string built and used by ProjB). I now want to do some testing of the application on another machine so have done a build of the solution. The ProjA\bin\release folder contains most of the files that I would expect (including the ProjB.DLL), but there is no ProjB.DLL.config file. However the application runs fine on the other computer! - Where is it getting t ...Show All
