• Visual Basic Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed

  I installed VS 2005 Beta 2 on a WinXP pro system (numerous times). It finally installed without erreors. It looks like it is basically working - I can create a new windows project and add items from the toolbox, edit the code etc. If I open an existing project (created on another box) things load properly but I cannot open any forms in designer view (I can open them in code view). When I attempt to open a form in design view I get the following error popup: ===================== There is no editor available for 'c:\....\myForm.vb'.

• Visual Studio Team System SSIS Source Control?

  Hey, If you use TFS and VS 2005 for Database Developers, can you use TFS Source Control for your SSIS projects/packages If so, does anyone have a link they could point me to with more information. I have been hunting around all morning and haven't found anything about SSIS in TFS Source Control. Thanks!

It should be the same as soure controlling C# and other project types.

• SQL Server Emailing Errors

  I'm sort of new to SSIS so I apologize if this is a trivial question: I setup a package and want it to email me if there is any errors. Right now I got it working to send me a pre-written message about the failure, but I want to load the full task failure message into variable and email it on the email body. But so far I have not found a way to save the error messages into variables so I can email them. Anyone can help with that one Under email task editor- build an Expression for "Message source" you could then do something like: " There was a critical error in the Your Load. Error Msg follows " + @[System::ErrorDescription] to bubble up the error message. ...Show All

• SQL Server Appropriate Data Type

  I want to save some serialized data in a SQL Server 2005 table. What is the appropriate field type for this I won't be associating a schema with the data. The data could vary in length--even up to several MB. I'm not sure whether to use text, NVARChar(MAX) or XML. Brian Brian, A couple of SQL Server 2005 MSDN aritcles talk about when to use XML and some of the best practices. Some relevant ones are " XML Best Practices for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 "; " XML Options in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 "; " Performance Optimizations for the XML Data Type in SQL Server 2005 ". In short XML is very useful 1) when you want schema validation (may not apply to your case); 2 ...Show All

I want to be able to run a process and pass its userernam, password. process.startinfo.filename ="runas.exe" process.startinfo.arguments="\noprofle \user: username main.cpl " can I add the password somewhere here process.start() Then I will save those as encrypted text along with the password.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 360 Deployment Issues

  Hello   I've downloaded the latest version of XNA: GSE, signed up to Creators Club, downloaded the launcher, created a key and entered it into GSE.  The 360 is sitting there waiting for a PC connection but the deployment just times out.   I've checked the subnet and they're both 255,255,255,0. It doesn't work whether it's wireless or wired. I can't ping it from the PC, it just times out. Got another pal to try pinging their 360 from their PC and they get a similar time out.   I've also made sure all the required ports are open, I think.  I'm not sure, we have a Belkin router and I've added the ports the docs say to add but I can't test whether they are actually open or not.   L ...Show All
