• SQL Server Refreshing a development database with production data

  Hello, I am trying to refresh a test database with data from a production database. Both database structures are identical, e.g. constraints, stored procs, PK, etc. I am trying to create a package in SSIS that accomplishes this task and I am having extensive problems. The import export wizard is out of the question because the constaints are not carried over, plus when I try to refresh the data using the import export wizard, it fails on 1 specific table because of a column in that table named "Error code". I think "Error code" is a micrsoft keyword, so it fails on this column. Does anyone know a workaround that I can do to accomplish this simple task, that could be completed in minutes using DTS. I understand that S ...Show All

• Visual Basic different start objects methods for a project

  Converting an application from VB03/SQL MSDE to VB05/SQL Express - In a 2005 walkthrough, they used for a start up object for the project a class "shared sub main" where as in 2003 we used a module "Public Sub Main".Both seem to work fine. I am curious as to the relative pros and cons of different start objects methods for a project. Thanks! Bob You were probably putting your Public Sub Main in a module, which made it available to the entire project without a reference. The walkthrough probably has the Shared Sub Main in a class - so it declared shared so that it is accessible without an instance of the class. All that said, in 2005 you usually don't use Sub Main as a starting point becuase you ...Show All

• Visual C# Protection of C# source code

  How do I protect my C# source code when it gets distributed in MSIL which can be readily disassembled I have a commercial application written in Visual Basic 6 which I would like to migrate to C#, but not if the code can be disassembled, allowing users to either run the programs without paying licence fees or even re-distributing the programs as their own. Can I compile the prgrams to native code or is there another way of protecting my IP it is quite good tool for obfuscation. it changes your code completly. like method names to A000001,A000002 etc and also variable names, parameters. almost every thing. if some one read assembly he does not come to know what A00001 function will do. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Buddy program?

  Hi, I signed up for the buddy program about 2 months ago, and have yet to be connected with someone. I emailed budsup@microsoft.com initally, someone contacted me and I was working with her. I thought it was resolved by her email stating: " As a matter of fact, Ibrahim, I matched you up a moment ago with a Microsoft Buddy…the trouble seems to be that there was a different name in the system than the one you’ve given me here…" But I never heard back from her, or my buddy after that. I followed up with her but received no response, and then sent an additional email to budsup@microsoft.com, and heard nothing back. How can I go about being matched up I guess there was some confusion over what name/email I signed up with but I didn' ...Show All

  Is it posible to consume 2 or more webservices on same port on same server. If yes, how Please let me know. Thanks Ashish sure Ashish, you have to create the new webservice using a different name or location (virtual path). It would be the same to create more than 1 web application in your server using the same port. you can try.... in VS create a new Web Service project.... let's call it http://localhost/MyServices/MyService1.asmx in this project itself you can create additional services... so let's say you can have also http://localhost/MyServices/MyService2.asmx The you can go and create another Web Service Project in VS using another location: http://localhost/MoreServices/Service.asmx And that' ...Show All
