• Community Chat JimmyWidgets

  --- Original Post --- Hi everyone! My current project is JimmyWidgets, a widget program like Apple Dashboard, but for PC! You can even make new widgets in DLL format and post em on the online database! When I've made more widgets (I've only got 2 at the moment), I'll post it at www.jimmyware.co.uk  . It's going to be open-source, so you can download the source from there too. Here's a screenshot: http://www.freewebs.com/robinjam/JimmyWidgets%5FScreenshot.jpg I await any comments/suggestions! (But please don't be too harsh about my efforts, it took me HOURS)   P.S. A list of problems I need to fix: The online database currently lets you download the same widget twice, making startup time longer (because ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I programatically fail my custom destination component?

  I am writing a custom dataflow destination that writes data to a named pipe server running in an external process. At runtime, in PreExecute, I check to see if the pipe exists. If it does not exist I want to be able to fail the component and gracefully complete execution of my package. Question is, how do I do this If I make a call to ComponentMetaData.FireError() that will only create an OnError event and not actually stop the execution. So, how to I halt the execution of my component and return the error message Thanks, ~ Gary Rafael, I understand what you are suggesting however that would not be possible as the named pipe server is created by my dataflow destination itself. It is dependant on the inco ...Show All

• SQL Server Three daily schedules for a single report

  Hi, I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I have a report that should run at 9AM, 12 Noon and 2PM every weekday. Due to the complexity of the report, I'm using snapshots. Since the lowest gap is 2 hours, I currently have it configured to create the snapshot every two hours. Since this is running all day, my servers are taking a lot of strain. In the report manager help, it suggests creating three daily schedules for the report. I cannot find a way to create more than one schedule for a report. Please let me know how I can do this. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Anand I found it very annoing that RS does not support an END time. But, you can work around this, but it does ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Should setting "Deny" permission override Admin priveliges?

  I am trying to limit checkin permissions on a certain branch in our source to only the Admin group. I thought the most expedient way to do that would be set the Checkin/Checkout priveliges to "Deny" for the Readers and Contributors group. However, when I do that, the admin group members are being denied access as well. In fact, if I set "Deny" on any permission for a group that an admin belongs to, that Deny permission seems to override the priveliges of the Admin group. According to the documentation here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252587(VS.80).aspx , I would expect admin group members' priveliges to be unaffected by setting "Deny" for a group to which the admin belongs. Am I misreading the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview, bindingsource, thread problem

  I have a datagridview with a bindingsource as a datasource. the datasource of the bindingsource is a datatable from a dataset. When a change occurs in the datatable .. i get notify ... when i get notify i applied the changes in my cache version of the datatable where the bindingsource is pointing. i get the following exception : System.IndexOutOfRangeExceptions: Index 0 does not have a value at System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager.get_Item(Int32 index) at System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView.DataGridViewDataConnection.GetError(Int32 rowIndex) I think it's due to a thread problem .. since the datatable is only thread safe on read-only and not write.

  I am testing html/css in IE 7 rc1 and The following table is exibiting buggy(unexpected) behavior while in strict mode.   It  lays out correctly in ie quirks and firefox strict.  Despite the whole push for standards compliance on the web, there are still situations where I need to resort to full height liquid layouts using tables.  Within the standards, there is no way to achieve full height complex multipane layouts without resorting to liquid (scaleable) table layouts.  So, before I get flamed for using tables improperly and discriminating against the blind, please consider this a plea for help.  PLEASE!!!!!!   Show me what I am doing wrong that makes this simple html sample devia ...Show All

• SQL Server Replicating DDL in Sql 2005

  I am using Sql 2005 and merge replication. I am relying on the feature where schema changes are replicated to subscribers but I have come across a situation where schema changes stop being replicated. This is the scenario: I create a database and publish it for merge replication. I add subscribers. If I need to change the published database I can use ALTER TABLE ddl and the subscriber gets the changes. If I have to add or remove a merge article as part of a database change I specify the @force_invalidate_snapshot=1, @force_reinit_subscription=1. No any ALTER TABLE statements following the article change will NOT be replicated. Is this a known 'feature' Is it because @force_reinit_subscription is set to 1 Can anyone ...Show All
