• Windows Forms FillByParameter - using parameters with the Select Statement

  Hi, I want to open a new form (form2) and have it load only the data for an item chosen from a datagridview in form1. In the constructor, I'm passing the ID of the record chosen to the constructor of the form2 in the field mID. Form2's data is in a master-detail relationship. So I have created a dataset, dsSermons21, that contains the 4 other child tables. In dsSermons21, I have created a new parameterized Select query call FillBySermonID. Now, If I understand this correctly, I use the following to fill the Sermons table of the dataset: DsSermons21.Sermons.FindBySermonID(mID) I do not know where it got FindBySermonID from, then name of the new query is FillBySermonID, but that is what came up in intellisense. If this is ...Show All

• SQL Server Host_id() and Citrix

  Hi, I'm wondering about the behaviour of the HOST_ID() function with clients running on a Citrix server. As I said in my post about "dynamical views", I'd like to use the host_id as a terminal ID, assuming this number will be unique. In my current configuration, each user has a client on his workstation which connects to SQL Server, an it works fine. But what happens if i migrate my clients on a Citrix server. Will I always have the same host_id or not that's what i 'm afraid of. Is there another way of identify a user's session. i thought about @@spid for instance. the goal is to dynamically create a view named 'MyView_' + SessionId. that's why host_id was helpful. ...Show All

• SQL Server Send Mail Task failing under SQL Agent

  Using SQL 2005, SSIS, I have an SSIS package which is scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job. The package contains a Send Mail task. This task fails when SQL Agent runs the package. The task succeeds when executed interactively from the package, logged on as the SQL Agent service account. The package as a whole succeeds when executed from "Start Debugging". An Execute SQL Task in the same package containing an sp_send_dbmail statement succeeds when SQL Agent runs the job, and the same sp_send_dbmail succeeds in Mgmt Studio query window. All these events all logged onto the server as the SQL Server/SQL Agent service account. I would appreciate ideas on what else to check for here, so that I can use the Send Mail SSIS task in pac ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 2.6 does not index mailbox and PST while Office Group Policy is used

  We have a MS Office 2003 Group Policy (GPO) that turns on many of the Outlook controls. (This is not the GP for Desktop Search...but for Outlook, Word, etc.). Windows Desktop Search 2.6.5000.5401 will not index emails in the Exchange mailbox and the Outlook PST files until I "turn off" the Office GPO. Can you help me determine which particular policy/rule within that Office GPO is affecting WDS And what might we do so that we can keep our Outlook/Office GPO as it is but have WDS be "accepted" and get past the GPO rules Thanks. Hello Abe, We've not run into this problem before. This one is going to take a little bit of research on our end. I hope to be back to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta

  Has anyone else tried to install the beta of Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Just running the setup program hogs my machine. It literally took over an hour, maybe more, for the message box to come up asking me if I wanted to install it. I tried it around 4:15pm yesterday and since it was still going even past 5pm I just left work figuring it would be installed by the time I came back in the morning. Well, I'm back and all I see is the message asking if I want to install. I say yes and then a few minutes later it comes back saying I have to uninstall the Web Application Projects addon because the release version is included in the service pack. Great, I hit OK and now I have to start all the way over! I've never seen an install program h ...Show All
