• .NET Development Using .config file

  Hi there, I have a standard c# class project (ie it's not a win forms project) which includes an application.config file. I have code which seeks to read some configurations from the file using the standard code - ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["KEY_NAME"]. However, the code doesn't return a value. But the same code seems to work when I'm using it within a winforms project. Surely I'm missing something simple here PS My code is using the System.Configuration namespace - using System.Configuration; Cheers. :) I just wanted to say that different classes should use different keys. For example by including the class name in the key. Class A would have A_setting and class B ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the best most efficient performant way to do a Control break in SSIS?

  I have an EDI file with Different Transaction types. I would like to read for a Header, capture some specific info on the header, and read for another specific tran type that comes after and capture additional info. I have a couple of ideas like tagging the records with a key and loading into two temp tables for matching later but that means I would have to do double processing. Maybe a conditional split for the two transaction types and then unioning them downstream, but not sure if the right records would be associated. Possibly tagging sequential key and writng to raw files and matching on the raw file keys downstream. I have a lot of ideas but I am looking for the best proven practice here so i don't spin my wheels or have to g ...Show All

  I've a C++/CLI console application which utilizes a custom-written DLL. How do I specify the location of the DLL when I startup the application I would like to have the DLL stored somewhere other than the current directory of the application.

• SQL Server Dynamic Security Stored Procedure Repeatedly Called

  I have implemented an SSAS stored procedure for dynamic security and I call this stored procedure to obtain the allowed set filter. To my supprise, the stored procedure is being called repeatedly many times (more than 10) upon establishing the user session. Why is this happening To make the things simpler, let's assume that that in both cases the security policy will be materialized into the same table (dimension surrogate key, employee surrogate key). In the case of dynamic security, the stored procedure will query this table by user and apply the allowed set but the allowed set will not exceed the maximum number of members that the user can access. In the case of the security measure group, EXISTS can b ...Show All

• SQL Server Simple Calendar Parameter question

  This is probably pretty simple, but i've never done it before. Im trying to put a Calendar up for the parameter, So they can click a date on the calendar, and get it quiered. Is this done in the dataset or in the report Parameters and what do i need to do I keep getting the same error. I tried 1/1/2000 and then 01/01/2001. And i got the error both times.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What's the replacement for GetTable() in DataContext?

  A question regarding LINQ to SQL in the January Orcas CTP. DataContext.GetTable is now internal - what method should we use instead For now I'm calling GetTable via reflection which works fine but is a bit messy. I notice a number of LINQ to SQL bugs have been fixed which is great. Thanks Joe There are two public GetTable methods in DataContext class as follows. public Table <TEntity> GetTable<TEntity>() public ITable GetTable( Type type) For example, if dc is the data context and Customer is an entity class for a table in the data context. You can get the table object as follows. System.Data.Linq.Table< Customer > customerTable = dc .GetTable< Customer >(); ...Show All
