• SQL Server Oracle provider error

  I am using SQL Server 2005 on a 64 bit AMD processor machine using the Oracle 10.0.2.0.2.0 and SELECT OPENQUERY will return results from my Oracle table. When I try to do an UPDATE OPENQUERY I get this error message Msg 7333, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot fetch a row using a bookmark from OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "ORADB". the same UPDATE OPENQUERY works on SQL Server 2000 using the Oracle 9 client. The provider is configured with Inprocess turned on. Any help would be appreciated. Hello, We have the same problem here. I don't have any answer yet... For info, this is for the 64 bit server. With 32 bit and msdaora everything works perfectly... Where ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Environment variables passed through nunit tests from msbuild

  I have a team build on VS2005 which is set up to run NUnit unit tests as part of the build. The code that is being unit tested integrates with some legacy COM code which in turn calls external processes to do the required task. When I run a build from the command prompt using msbuild on TFSBuild.proj on either a development PC or the build sever using @TFSBUILD.rsp, my build works properly. The system environment variables are passed down thouugh the various processes and work as expected. However when the same TFSBuild.proj is called from the tfsbuildservice.exe service, the environment variables are not set properly. They are available in the MSBuild file but not in the processes that are created. What environment does the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Command line build using VCBuild

  Hi. I have a few questions/comments about command line build with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. 1. I have noticed that there is no 'devenv' in the Express edition (I got used to it in the VS .NET 2003 version). The IDE executable is 'vcexpress', but it seems it has no command line build capabilities. I assume command line builds are to be done using 'vcbuild'. Am I right 2. Running 'vcexpress / ' brings me a confused explanation which is a mix up of 'vcexpress' and 'devenv' which does not exist in the Express edition. This is clearly a defected help message. 3. If I want to use 'vcbuild' for building Win32 applications (after installing the Platform SDK), I also have to change the PATH/INCLUDE/LIB directories in the %VS80COMN ...Show All

• Visual C++ VcBuild failing to recompile when header file changes.

  I noticed that after changing a header file in one of my projects, the .cpp files that include it were not recompiling. I have narrowed down the problem to the simplest of cases. This is very simple stuff, yet Studio does not seem to be able to know when a file needs recompiling. Please help, I need to be able to rely on my compiler! If anyone wants a zip of the files involved, please let me know. Here is a screen capture of a simple edit-and-recompile iteration attempt: S:\Test>cat test.cpp #include "Test.hpp" int Test::Routine() { return 5; } S:\Test>cat test.hpp class __declspec(dllexport) Test { public: static int Routine(); }; S:\Test>C:/PROGRA~1 ...Show All

• Architecture Polymorphism and API design

  I want to build an event logging class that allows a client to log messages. Windows Event Log and Xml files are the initial storage types I'd like to provide first, adding Database storage later. My question is regarding building an installer class that would prepare the chosen log type. Ideally I would like the developer using the API to be able to do this: LogInstaller objLogInst = new LogInstaller( LogType.Xml | LogType.EventLog /*[Flags]enum ... */ ); objLogInst.Install(); The missing piece here is, of course, the parameters needed for each type of install (e.g. FilePath, AppName, etc...). I know I'll need an installation class for each type of logging the client will want to install (e.g. Xml, EventLog, etc...). I'll also need ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Opening a URL to a new browser instance

  Quick question... is the WPF recommended way to launch a URL in a new browser instance still to do this I'm just wanting the URL to open in IE or whatever default browser is used. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url); Or is there something new that is better Yes, that way you ensure the shell instantiates whichever browser happens to be the default on that box. If you don't require a new Browser instance for the navigation, and want to keep the user in the same application context, you can do for example System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationService.GetNavigationService(this).Navigate(new Uri(@" http://www.microsoft.com ")); (where this is used to get the navigation container).
