• .NET Development Problem with StreamReader

  I'm have a problem with the StreamReader that I can not figure out. As I have it set up right now, it will read through a text document. The text documents are created through our network backup utility. The problem that I am having is that when I run the program I am getting "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object". But if I open the text document manually and hit save without modifying the document at all, then the program run perfectly. Here is a copy of the code that is failing: Dim fs As New FileStream(FileAddress, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) Dim reader As String = "" Dim streamreader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(fs) Do Until reader.StartsWith("Job Log") ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't access instance of local webserver

  Hi, I've installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, SQL Server Management Studio Express using Windows Authentification and IIS 5.

• Visual C# I cannot get Intellisense to work in C#

  When I start a new project, as soon as a put just a few components on a form and start writing code for an event, Intellisense stops working. I have to holf Ctrl+Space to see the options, step through the alphabet by typing a character at a time and holding Ctrl+Sapce again to see the next set of options. How can I get Intellisense to work Note that I have found solutions to what appears to be this very problem for C++ projects, but I do not see any relevance in these solutions for me because they talk about .h files and other things that are hidden or not present in C#. I am also having some weird issue with Intellisense in C# on VS 2003. CTRL+Space works fine but the "." doesn't work any ...Show All

• SQL Server extending SSIS Container?

  Has anyone investigated extending any of the SSIS Container classes I have been looking into it because we'd like to add a set of standard logging calls on events, standard startup procedures, etc. on any package that we execute. I've been looking into the Sequence Container, For-Each, etc. They are all sealed classes. I'm not sure why MS has sealed them. We're currently thinking of implementing our own version of the Sequence Container -- we'd really like to be able to extend the functionality of a standard container class, but we don't want to have to implement the actual container class itself. Any insight appreciated. jhikel wrote: Has anyone investigated extending any of ...Show All

• SQL Server Is SSAS a new version product or it is a upgrade version of SQL Server analysis services 2000?

  Hi, all here, I am having a question about SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. Is it a new version product or it is a upgrade version of SQL Server 2000 analysis services Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance and advices for that. With best regards, Yours sincerely, It is a new OLAP and data mining engine. There are some upgrading issues especially regarding dimensions. In AS 2005 everything was about hierarchies but in AS 2005 a dimension consists of attribute hierarchies(flat hierarchies) and user hierarchies(the old AS2000 version of dimensions) A virtual cube is the same as a cube in AS2005. Measure groups is the same(almost) as the AS2000 physical cubes. Some changes in MDX have also appeared. Have ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting the Via for MetadataExchangeClient

  I am experimenting with using the MetadataExchangeClient class to get device profile information from a device. To do this, I need to have a uuid in the To: address, yet send the message to different physical address. I think I can do this with a normal client by setting the Via (although I have not tried that yet). Is there anyway to do this for MetadataExchangeClient Thanks for your time. Kevin You are correct that the key thing is to specify a Via that is different from the (To) EndpointAddress. It is a shame that this isn't easier, but the code below will work. The only way to 'get at the Via' from MetadataExchangeClient is to override the ChannelFactory it uses so that the factory will contribute the Via. Below is a cod ...Show All
