• SQL Server Please Help

  I want to sum the value of a column that i'm creating in my data flow. After a derived column thats a column of numbers that i need to hve the value of the sum of all rows. I've tried to use the aggregate transformation but it doesn't work because after this transformation you loose all the columns except the one you sum. I'm lost. The best way would be to catch the sum value into a variable. I know thats problably easy to do but i can't seem to get it done. Thanks Adriano Coura (Brazil) Now, I'm new with SSIS, but here's how I got it to work with what I think you're trying to achieve: - Note that you'll have two data flow tasks in the control flow. - In your first dataflow, keep everything that you have. Except, use a multicast right ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Types

  Hello, I am following this article about building an ASP.Net application which uses SQL Express 2005. The document calls for building a couple of tables. One column is identified with data type of "Byte" which are is available for selection within the Visual Studio 2005 interface.

• .NET Development Seek suggestion on .NET support options

  Hi everyone, Does anyone out there have some recommendation(s) regarding alternative forums for discussion / questions / answers about .NET programming, C# development, etc It's great to have the MSDN forums, but, the "oracle is not always in", and I find that more of my questions go unanswered than not...(I do try to form my questions as well as I can, and try to be aware of the proper etiquette, read faqs beforehand, etc...I think the problem is simply that most of the problems I've had a genuinely quite obscure, ...for example, I've got a problem right now with a bizzare compiler error messsage ('assembly /../..longpath/xyz.dll must be strong signed in order to be marked as a prerequisite') which is fatal to the build proc ...Show All

• Visual Studio URGENT :VSS 2005 , Creates Multiple Folders on Chekcout

  Hi We are using VSS 2005 on Windows 2000. If we create a new physical folder on some drive and set this as working folder for our project and get latest version the whole project is checked out to this folder (which is normal) but creates another folder with same files within this folder (which is abnormal). PLEASE HELP !!! I suspect you're working with a web project, and when the solution is opened from disk a new enlistment is created for that website. Note that scci integration is not intented to be used as you're trying to do. Getting manually the solution (using VSS Explorer, working folders) then trying to open it from disk may or may not work - it's not a supported scenario if it doesn't... In particular ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Load Background image into ListView Control, but ListViewItems don't display...

  Hi all, I wanted to put a background image on a ListView Control, but found that when you extend on the ListView Control the OnPaint() method cannot be overridden because the CF doesn’t not call OnPaint() on the ListView. It is called lower down in the OS. Anyway, I have managed to use a class that catches Windows Messages (WM_Paint) on the ListView Control and then calls a method in my ListViewExtender class (this is through a delegate). Now I can get the ListView to display the background image perfectly. But the ListViewItems that I add to the ListViewExtender instance do not get displayed. Is this because I have used the DrawImage() method which draws the images on top of the ListView items Or is it a case that I must also re-draw the ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with matrix headers

  hello, I'm having a strange problem with a matrix headers. I can't put column headers above each row group header. There is a merged cell above them, which can't be split. If I have several row groups, including Customer ID and Zipcode, I can't put headers above them to identify them in the matrix. Since both have 5 numerals, they can be confused. Does any body know how to solve this Thanks in advance, Juan David No, I can't do it, I can't do it because I need to place my headers above the rows. I have many rows and the design of the matrix should be with the titles above the Rows. Example: CustomerID Name Telephone ZipCode 112233 Jhon 374564787 55443 22222 Mack 374579879 55443 333333 Li ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I change the Hyperlink color for the 'Jump to URL' once it has been viewed?

  Hi, I've created a report in SSRS 2005, where one of the fields is using 'Jump to URL'. I made that field the color blue and underlined it so the users can see it's a link. How do I change the color of the field/link to a different color once it's viewed so the users know they already selected that field Thanks for your help!, CharlotteB I don't believe there's any way to do this currently. All style information is explicitly placed into the HTML, so the browser doesn't have an opportunity to automatically add its own underline. Since it isn't adding it, it doesn't know to remove it. ...Show All

• SQL Server scripting the isql.exe to export date and backup the DB SQL 2000

  We have no certified SQL DBAs. Mainly because 95% of our production data is on Oracle and DB2 databases. One of our Oracle DBAs is trying to write scripts that can be run by the AS400 robot to export data and backup the databases. I (being the only person with any SQL expierance) have been asked to ensure that the scripts she wrote will not only work but not bring down the server. Can anyone point me to the correct place (web, book, ect) to find out how this is to be done In years past my SQL servers have been stand alone dedicated units.

• SQL Server Connecting VB Express files to SQL Server Management Studio Express

  Really confused ... I created 2 tables in a VB Express program (which went well). Problem is that I can't see/find those tables with MSME.
