• Visual C# MSMQ Remote Transactional Queues

  VC2005, C#. When trying to use a remote (private) transactional queue for sending, it fails when querying the queue for 'Transactional' with 'Specified Format Name is invalid etc.' It works with a public queue, using the PUBLIC format name. I can find no documentation to say that private remote queues do not support transactions (for sending). Any ideas If this is the wrong forum, please can you re-direct me. I could find no forum on MSMQ. THanks Tony ...Show All

• SQL Server Selecting "like" records

  This might be a simple question. I have a LIKE statement that is working fine, however I am not sure if something else is possible. I can pull all records on a query for a person's name with a parameter value of "MARTIN". It will also pull records for "LYNN MARTIN". However, what if I would like to have that search also pull "LYNN M MARTIN" Currently "LYNN MARTIN" is not finding "LYNN M MARTIN". When the end user wants to search on LYNN MARTIN and that is what they input, I want SQL to find all records that match LYNN MARTIN and also find records that HAVE LYNN % MARTIN. I hope this make sense I guess I need to build my select statement using a WHERE LIKE statement, but I am not ...Show All

• Visual C# Practical use of multithreading???

  Hi all, I'm not an expert on threading and to be honest I've not used threads directly before.  I have an interesting problem I'm not sure how to tackle. Basically I'm developing a .NETCF2.0 application in C# and have a class that contains an event handler to recieve SMS messages using the PocketOutlook assemblies (API). When a new SMS message is recieved this handler parses it and stores the data within a SQL mobile DB.  Now most of this processing is pretty quick but I'm a little concerned about the overhead it will have on the UI thread.  My first though was to have another thread handle these events but I cannot find a way of doing this. Basically I want a seperate thread to use the SMS receieved event h ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Making a GUI subservient to the WF

  I've got a situation where I am attempting to write a state machine workflow. This workflow responds to events on two data exchanges: 1 for network messages being sent from a central back-end location, and 1 for events sent from the GUI such as a submit button being pushed. I've got the 2 exchanges set up just fine. The other part of this is where I'm having difficulty finding a best practice. I want the Workflow to tell the UI which pieces of the UI should be enabled or disabled based on a rule set that I will probably store in a policy. For example, when the state changes, I want the policy (which reads variables from some dependency properties that are set by incoming events) to then fire off events such as DisableSubmitButton that will ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPRS Connection Setup in Code

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to configure a connection for GPRS on a windows mobile 5 device in code. I am having a few problems doing it through setting the registry as I can get the connection to appear under the Connections > Manage existing connections dialog but if I try and connect to the connection I am prompted for the username and password however I do not want this prompt to appear.

I do not want to import registry entries, I would like to be able to set the registry values in code, which is working as I get the connection in the required ...Show All

• SQL Server Manual validation of external metadata

  Hi, is there a way to start validation of external metadata manual My problem is this: The package uses a variable as connectionstring for flatfile source, and another variable for the destination table. Running the package gives a warning about external metadata that needs to be updated. Normally I update this data by just opening the data flow, and answering the question for updating with yes. This time that deosnt work, I think because the variable is not set, so there can not be any conflicts with external metadata. I dont want do disable validation, but just validate one time and then save the package. Any ideas Regards, Jan Hi Andy, unfortunately it is not an option for me to ...Show All
