• SQL Server Importing Pervasive SQL into SQL2005 via SSIS

  In SQL 2000, I had a working DTS package that would import a Pervasive SQL database into SQL 2000 (There is a good reason, provided on request). The column type definitions came over just fine in SQL 2000 with a few minor changes. In SQL 2005 (SSIS), i create a Data Source via the Connection Manager (Provider: .Net Providers\Odbc Data Provider) to the Pervasive database (System DSN, <database_odbc>). I then create a Data Destination via the Connection Manager (Provider: Native OLE DB\SQL Native Client) to the SQL database. Both databases reside on the same machine. I've created a DataSource Reader and used the sql command, "select * from ARCustomer" as an example. The issue is with "data types" for the colu ...Show All

• Visual Studio filtering reference dropdowns in the propertygrid

  I have a basic model, where I have a Table class, a Key class, a Field class, and a FieldReference class. The idea is that this can be used to model a database structure. Tables may have multiple Fields, and Tables may also reference multiple Keys. Each Key may contain multiple FieldReferences, and a FieldReference can have 1, and only 1 Field selected from a dropdown in the propertygrid. My problem, is that the dropdown for the Field component of the FieldReference lists ALL Field instances in the entire diagram, I need it to be filtered to show just the set of Fields that belong to the Key classes owning Table class. This is becuase its not possible for a tables PrimaryKey to contain columns from a different table... An ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder reports not compatible with MS CRM 3.0???

  I'm currently testing our setup of CRM 3.0 and SSRS2005 which are on the same server. I can successfully design a custom report in VS2005 report designer, and then add the report from within CRM -- viewing the report works fine, too. But, when I create a report model in VS2005, and then create a report using the Report Builder, CRM can't upload the file. I receive the following error: "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Why can't CRM add the report made from report builder I can add this report to the server from within VS2005, and actually view it from within CRM, but I get an error if I attempt to "edit" the report in CRM. I suspect that the issue is ti ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server single server install woes

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Meshes with materials

  Took a look at the content pipeline today. Built a new SpaceWar game from the beta 2 release, then went to look at how the models are loaded/rendered. All the rendering code is still manual. For example the materials (colors/textures/whatever) are specified manually. I'm assuming this is due to the beta 2 deadline (I know how those are :-)). The questions is, is there a way to extract that information from the Model instance Does the .xnb itslef support this data or does the Model .xnb just hold the meshes Which part of the contnt build process do the xxx~0.xml files belong to (they seem to hold the info I'm talking about, but where does it go eventually) Thanks for any help Whoops sorry, this page in the documentation descri ...Show All

  What does it really mean when overriding the OnPaint event example if possible. thank you donkaiser wrote: I don't think we can use override OnPaint(). protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { } he is my onpaint. but I believe that the PaintEventArgs is only valid for forms and not panel.

• Visual C# Get system language independent Yes No Cancel Retry Abort string from the system

  How to get the string that represents the "yes" string on the local system. If I use... DialogResult .Yes.ToString() "Yes" is always returned. This is good for English systems. But I want it system language independent. On a Dutch system, it should return the string "Ja". I can work with a resource file, but I think it is possible to get these string directly from the system. But I don't know how. Anyone has the code Thx Adriaan The "Yes" in DialogResult is an enum.  ToString() will always return the name of the enum; which is why you get "Yes"--just as you would always get "Win32Windows" when using PlatformID.Win32Windows.ToString().  Currently that is not loc ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to create a debug version install

  hi, so, i managed to figure out how to get a C# project to reference either a debug or release assembly. i thought it might be the same for the installer, no go. i really would like to be able to package up the debug version of the built application when the configuration is set to debug, and the release versions when the config is set to release. can this be done if so how /* what i did for the assemblies was to change the following <HintPath>..\Docking\bin\Release\Docking.dll</HintPath> to <HintPath>..\Docking\bin\$(Configuration)\Docking.dll</HintPath> this is located in the .csproj file and it had to be done manually. */ thanks, scott When adding a Project Output Group to a set ...Show All

• Visual C# How to automatically close the parent form when the child closes.

  Hi, I have an application that uses 3 forms. Form1 contains 2 buttons - A and B. If you click Button A, then Form2 loads and Form1 is hidden. If you click Button B, then Form3 loads and Form1 is hidden. What I need to be able to do, is once Form2 has been completed by the user and then closes (by the user clicking the Finish button), for Form1 to close automatically, rather than unhiding the form and then the user having to click the button... I've searched quite a lot on how to do this, but can't find an answer. Either I'm searching for the wrong thing, or .... Could anyone provide any hints on how to do this Thanks. I'll try with the full code form Form1 again: private void buttonA_Click( object ...Show All
