• SQL Server Embedded tab Character

  I have embedded tabs in a text field that I want to import to a destination table. I was thinking I need to replace the tabs with spaces. REPLACE (character_expression,searchstring,replacementstring) Anybody know how to specify ascii in the character expression. If there is a better way I am open to suggestions, however I do not way to remove this in the raw data but handle at transformation time. Thanks, Larry Regular expression work well to match and remove / replace string patterns. To remove carriage return / new line combos, use a script component transform which replaces each occurrence of the pattern with an empty string. To do so, drop a script component on the data flow canvas, sele ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista where is CEAppMgr.exe? - Unable to Install Windows Mobile Software on Vista

  I purchased some third party software for my Motorla Q Smart Phone. When I try to install the PC portion of it on my Vista RTM Toshiba Tecra M5, I receive an error dialog indicated that the setup program cannot find CEAppMgr.exe. Any ideas how to correct this Thanks, -Howard Hey Howard, There are a few things you can try on your own to make this software work on Vista. First make sure during the installation that you are prompted for administrator elevation. If you are not prompted for admin, right click and select "Run As Admin". If the installation is not a .msi file, but an exe then you can attempt to make it run under xp compatibility mode. To do this: right click and go to properties. On the compatibility ta ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change name of Form1, no design view.

  I created an application that created 'Form1' by default. I renamed Form1 to jpd7main and compiles ok, runs ok. I closed the design view for 'jpd7main' and now I can't open it in design view. Still compiles and runs ok. I even added another form, which I can see in design view. In the explorer window, the new form has a form icon next to the .h file whereas the 'jpd7main' has a header/code icon next to the .h file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks gqlu wrote: Try to compile the whole project, and then open the designer view. Maybe it will recover some dependencies lost during the renaming. Already tried that, no luck. Thanks anyway. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. (search) 3d prog to create/edit *.x files directly

  Hy @ all. I'm searching a 3d prog to create/edit *.x files directly, without all the exporting/importing issues. The only one I knew is MeshX, are there any others gonzo883. blender is a popular choice for modelling packages.  There's also Milkshape . Both sites should have links to tutorials. I don't believe you're going to find any package (that's free) that does .x directly, they almost all have plugins for exporting. ...Show All

• Visual C# Use internet explorer urls

  I'm making a webbrowser. Now i want to load the same urls that IE uses to a combobox, and set them too. In fact, I just want to know how to get access to the IE urls, so i can set/get them in my app. I hope that I am clear enough. Thanks in forward which urls favourites or urls in general urls in general, I believe in the combobox there is a property called autocompletesource, in here, set it to "AllUrl" which will then hopefully show the url's stored in the system as you are typing. in the autocompletemode set it to perhaps suggestAppend to make it complete the urls whilst you are typing and filters the url appropriately as you are typing ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Strange issue when building an app :-s

  When i build an application in visual studio express my firefox loads up and loads 3 websites. this is only when i build, install or run the application after install. Doesn't matter what i build i keep getting the same 3 sites. Does any one know what could be causing this I'm actually not so sure it Firefox and the Google toolbar. I use both all the time and I haven't had this problem yet. I too am going to say some form of malware or what not. Personally I'd sot every thing and do a virus scan right away, just to be safe. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Call VSTO Addin functions from external application?

  Hi all, Please pardon me if this is not the right place. I'm looking for a way to call functions in a VSTO Addin from an external application. In VS2003 and Shared Addins, I used to be able to do this using this code in the external app: lole_object = iole_outlook.COMAddIns.Item("OutlookIntegrator.Connect").Object -- synchroniseAppointments() is a publically declared function in the Addin lole_object.synchroniseAppointments(ls_diarynoteIDs) However, when trying this using a VSTO addin, it did not work. From what I can gather after some research, this seems to be just the way VSTO addins are setup. It is an Outlook addin. I was wonder what other methods do you use instead to access func ...Show All

• .NET Development Combining xpath queries

  My path is to ( my conditional ) /Events/CompanyABC/Transaction/ProductList/Product/Event/Code = 435 The actual node I want: /Events/CompanyABC/Transaction/ProductList/Product/LoanList/Loan/ReturnedType I tried this: //Events/CompanyABC/Transaction/ProductList/Product[./Event/Code = '435']/LoanList/Loan/ReturnedType But it doesn't return anything. How can I combine the conditional into the xpath statement. This has to be one string, I can't split it. Thanks, Nick As others have noted, you haven't expressed well what is the structure of the xml document and what nodes (under what criteria) should be selected. Just guessing, you may probably be after something like this: /Even ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Invokeworkflow with required parameters

  Dear All, I drop an InvokeWorkflowActivity to any workflow. If i'm in the designer, and set the TargetWorkflow property, the property browser show all public properties exposed by TargetWorkflow type and it's easy to set/bind them. But how can I make this binding mandatory Acually i've made a "child" workflow that needs some parameters, and it would be a good thing not to forget setup in design time. My original idea was to inherit from InvokeWorkflow and add a custom validator class, but since InvokeWorkflow is sealed this is no way.... What do you think is there a simple way or should i make a custom activity and using IStartWorkflow in Execute method... Than ...Show All
