• SQL Server How to pass .net application's parameter to a TRIGGER?

  How can i pass my .net application's Userid to the trigger I have a audit trail trigger on myTable.  I dont know how to pass the userid (not the sql server user) to the trigger when a user delete a record from the application(.NET Application). The trigger saves the modifications on the table including the userid of one who does the changes. If you put the code that get's a connection at the start of a transaction into a common object then having this object set context_info with the application user name/id would be far simpler than having all parts of the application know about sending a user id as part of the insert, update or SP call. The trigger should be setup to use the @@CURRENT_USER if context_info is not set. ...Show All

• Visual C++ DLL calling static function in main app

  Hi, I'm trying to develop a pluginsystem for a project I'm working on. During inititalization of the global section in the DLL a call is made to a static function in a class named "Instantiator" which registers the plugin class with it's name in a map. However both the application and the DLL share a instance of the "Instantiator" class. I thought that because the member function are declared static that both the application and the DLL would use the same instance of the "Instantiator" class Is there a way to get the required behavior Regards, Christian Sorry about my confusing explanation. I'll try to explain a little bit more. There is a class named "Instantiator" ...Show All

• SQL Server Drillthrough with Return clause

  I am trying to perform a drillthrough with the return clause so that i can get the member keys. when the performing the drillthrough, i get the followin message: Errors from the SQL query module: The 'dim peiod' table either does not exist in the 'Dm GL' schema (or cube.), or the user does not have the necessary permissions to access it.

• SQL Server Daylight Savings Patch for 2000 Server

  I was wondering if there is a simple patch for 2000 server. It seems that the only fix is to edit the registry and to use the time zone editor app. If there is a simple patch like there is for the 2003 servers i would appreciate it if anyone can show me where. I have about 80+ servers with 2000!!! Much appreciated! Look at this KBA http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=928388 for more information. ...Show All

• SQL Server strange behaviour with select (...)NOT IN (...) command; Anyone who can help?

  Hello, To import data in my base, I use a source table named TEMP_DocumentsEnTetes as a buffer and a destination table named DocumentsEntetes. In both tables, the GCKey field (nvarchar(30)) contains a unique identifier. At some point, I need to know if a record in the TEMP_ table is already in the destination one or not. To do so, I do this: select * from TEMP_DocumentsEntetes where GCKey not in ( select gckey from DocumentsEntetes ) -> Returns no row, but this did not sound normal, so I checked my data doing the following requests: select * from temp_DocumentsEntetes where gckey like '11091 @ 1 ' -> Returns one row select * from DocumentsEntetes where gckey like '1109 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Counting pixels in a region

  Yet another question.... I have a region that's made up of several shapes; some connected, some not. Is there an easy way to determine how many pixels that region is occupying I was hoping I'd find a solution in one of its methods but that doesn't seem to be the case. All of the shape information is stored in the region, you'd think it would be easy to count all the pixels in a given region. I will need to count/recount the number of pixels often so I'm hoping there is an easy/non-expensive (CPU/time wise) method for this. Because the region will contain non-connected shapes, and because the region is a solid color, would it be best to convert it to a 1-byte bitmap, then count that way Looking for any advice ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom Task: How to access/modify the variables of a package

  Hi, I'm trying to simplify the deployment process of my project. I already had some troubles with the config files but lets say I solved that issue. I'm going to read a flat file and set the variables of my packages from this file. I was thinking to use a Script Task to do that but I will need to copy this task in every package (I have at least 30). So if I want to make some change this will be painful. Then, I came up with the idea of creating a Custom Task called Config File Task. I'm working on this but I got stuck trying to get the variables from the package that is running my Config File Task. This is the code I had in the Script Task: Dim streamReader As New StreamReader(Dts.Variables("ConfigFilePath").Value.ToString) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build result not showing in the Builds Report

  Hi, I created a team build and used Approach #2 in http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/26/485368.aspx to build VS.NET 2003 solution file. However, after the build succeeded and warehouse refreshed, I am not able to see this result in the Builds Report. Is there some target missing in this approach The only difference I see here is that SolutionToBuild item is not defined. So the CoreCompile target is skipped. Does it affect the reporting Thanks, -hengyi Federico, Yes, the warehouse is updated and this is the only build I don't see. To reproduce this: Create a new Team Build to build a test solution.

• Visual Studio Team System Help - Problems precompiling ASP.NET 2.0 website

  I am trying to precompile a fairly simple ASP.NET 2.0 website to improve performance. I got all the website files on the target webserver and it runs fine when accessed by a browser (although pages load slow, which is why I want to precompile). I logged into the host server with Admin rights and ran the following from a DOS command line: C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_compiler -v -p d:\wwwroot\MyApp This gives the following error: error ASPRUNTIME: '/-p' is not a valid IIS application.

• Visual Studio Sandcastle and ASP.NET

  When trying to compile help for ASP.NET 2.0 pages (.aspx), the documentation is built for the code behind and the designer files. Since the designer files contain all of the information for each control in the form and is autogenerated, there is no need for this portion of the partial class to be documented in the help system, but the code behind properties and methods need to be fully commented. Is there a way to only have the code behind portion of the partial classes be included I cannot add any exclude tags or anything to the designer file since it is autogenerated and all is lost when it regenerates itself. This would be very helpful for controls (.ascx) files. This is an excellent scenario. I have ...Show All
