• SQL Server Conditional Split Question

  I have a package which has a conditional task which directs rows to its respective OLEDB command. The records are sorted from the source system in chronological order. The problem I am experiencing is that some of the operations do not seem to be occurring in the same order. An example of this would be someone inserts a record, deletes the record and reinserts in the record in that order. When we run the package we can see the records are coming down in chronological order but the delete from the split seems to occur after the inserts. Has anyone else experienced this Is there anything I might be missing to ensure things happen in the order they should Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Can you provide more details su ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual Basic Express application stops before showing form on another computer

  I have now tried 3 separate applications, one being just a simple form with no underlying code at all. All three applications will run fine on my Dell desktop (XP) and Dell laptop (2000) but will not run on my Toshiba laptop (XP). I do the development on my desktop so I cannot run debug on the Toshiba laptop. When I run the applications on the Toshiba, the process explorer shows it starting and immediately stopping. Placing a few log statements in the code, I noticed that the application is stopping when the form is trying to display. Load form is working fine but show form does not seem to be. This must be a configuration issue with the Toshiba as it is the only computer that does not work. However, I have done all MS ...Show All

• Visual Basic Stacktrace in error logging

  I want my users to have an error log generated when an error occurs. On restarting the app, the error log is deleted so it never gets to big. I found a bit of code that referenced the stacktrace such as this: Try Catch ex As Exception WriteErrorLog(ex.Message, ex.StackTrace, "Error") End Try This would tell me what function/routine had the error and the line number. Then I read the msdn info about stacktrace and i was a bit confused. So I searched the msdn forums and found this: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=99053&SiteID=1 My question then is this...will my try/catch block work better than what's mentioned in the link AND (ok, 2 q's) is this only on a .net app that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF14043: An error occurred computing the delta. Not enough storage is available to process this command

  We're attempting to migrate a fairly sizeable SoruceSafe database into a dual-tier TFS server configuration using VSSConverter. After running analyze.exe, VSSConverter Analyze, then half-way through VSSConverter Migrate we start seeing errors in the EventLog. The app-tier server had been running for about 3 weeks, so we've restarted it and are starting a fresh VSSConverter Migrate. Searching for the win32 error "Not enough storage space is available" seems to indicate that it's run out of memory. However this is a Dual Xeon hyper-threaded box with 3.5Gb of memory and plenty of free disk space. The 2.0 Framework machine.config has <processModel autoConfig="true" /> Can you provide any clues as to wha ...Show All

• SQL Server calling web service in stored procedure (SQL 2005)

  I need to create a stored procedure (SQL 2005). I did it in C# (Visual Studio). The .dll file (inside) uses web services of Project Server 2007 (I just need to log on, create a project and log out). I prepared 2 files (exactly the same code): dll an exe. the .exe works fine. the problem is with .dll file (stored procedure in SQL)... by the way: I created serialization file with sgen tool. the problems start when I am trying to register these 2 .dlls in SQL server.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MouseUp/MouseDown/MouseClick

  I've wrote a very simple WPF application , and put some Control Templates and Databinding based on EID sample data. The issue I want to solve is that, on my animating bubble buttons, I've put some trigger implementations right in the xaml code, which fire MouseEnter, MouseLeave, MouseUp, MouseDown and MouseClick. As if you check the executable, the events work fine for mouse right-click, but mouse left click has a problem, which doesn't fire MouseUp. Is there anything I should take care of I'm having the same problem with my control (originally from http://blogs.msdn.com/mgrayson/archive/2006/05/22/603939.aspx ). The only way I can get the left mouse button to send an up event is if I click outside of my control, move t ...Show All

• SQL Server Product Sales Forecasting.

  Hi, We are trying to forcast product sales for next three months based on their sales for previous 12 months. In this case, Microsoft Time Series algorithm requires the sales data to be present  for each product for past 12 months ( ). However, our products have typical life span of 6 months and obviously the new products will not have sales before they were added. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks Riju       Hi Jamie, Thanks for the response. I read the paper referenced by Apollow which gave the detail information on how to predict the product sales using the Decision Tree algorithm. However, i was trying to get some help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How not to retreive all files in a team project

  We have 10 or so solutions in our team project, and I've gone through the wizard to create a build process for each of these solutions. When we run the build it retrieves all the code for the entire team project, since each solution can stand on it's own I don't want this to happen as it takes a long time to do this. How can I prevent the build process from retrieving ALL the code and only get the code that is in a specific folder and below Thanks Wayne Can I use this technique to prevent certain folders from being checked out during my automated build When we branch our code, it goes in a folder beneith the same solution root, but I don't necessarily want those files checked out during our regular build ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture Mapping Using 3ds Max for XNA Studio Express?

  I am using 3ds Max 9.0 64-bit to create models for XNA Studio Express. I use the following process: 1. I create the model and apply texture in 3ds Max. 2. In 3ds Max I "Render to Texture" to creat a .tga texture file. 3. In 3ds Max the .tga file is shown in the Asset Tracking screen under "Maps / Shaders". 4. I "Export" the model to .fbx 5. I add the .fbx file to "Models" in my project and the .tga file to "Textures" After compiling and running the game, the model appears without the texture. I then tried creating an ASCII .fbx file in 3ds Max. I did not find a reference to the .tga file in the .fbx file. Does anyone know how I can generate this reference in 3ds Max ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Background Key Press Listener

  Hi again, I just wrote this, and it dissapeared, so I'll write it again and hoepfully it won't turn into a double thread. I basically want to my program sitting in the background doing it's own thing, or just idling about, and be able to press a key and have this key jump to a function (or perform some action) in my background program. I've looked at RegisterHotKey, but from what I understand, this just puts a message into the message stack. I would rather jump to a function without having to contanstly check the stack. Even something that triggers when the message stack is added to is fine. I basically want a Java type ActionListener. Anyone have any ideas or direction It'd be VERY appreciated...
