• SQL Server Loop Through Flat Files Based On A Date Range

  Hello, I currently have a For Each File container that loops through all files from a specific directory. The files have a naming convention that looks like this; CDNSC.CDNSC.SC00015.01012007 The last segment of the file name is the date of the data in the file (mmddyyyy). The create date for these files is always a day later than indicated in the file name. What I would like to do is to have more control over the 'range' of files that are looped through by using the date portion of the file name to define what group of files should be looped through. Ideally, I would like to have a 'StartDate' variable and an 'EndDate' variable that I could define at run time for the package, and the package would loop through all of the files ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System project references to labels or branches?

  If a have a ProjectA that requires a specific version of FrameworkProjectX, can I make a project reference to a TFS Label Or would I need a branch (reference the project path of the branch) Dan Hi: Can we get a bit more explanation on the scenario Here is what I get from it so far: You have a project and you need to reference some dll of the framework with it but you do not want that reference to change as the dlll framework keeps getting updated. If i got that right then you cannot use labels since the project system only cares about the path and not really about versions (does not know about it). So a branch to keep that component of the framework locked should be the best solution. This also me ...Show All

• .NET Development run a piece of code without context switching

  Hi, i want two lines of my code to be executed uninteruptedly by other threads so that before accomplishing execution of them no other instructions in my process will be executed.

• Visual Studio IDE does not run

  Visual Studio 2005 Professional was running fine on my machine. Then I downloaded and installed evaluation versions of 2 different antivirus programs, uninstalling the one before installing the other. Now Visual Studio does not run. I have uninstalled all antivirus software, and uninstalled and re-installed Visual Studio. The installation goes smoothly. MSDN installed from the CD works fine. When I try to start Visual Studio, the splash screen displays for about 1 second, then disappears. There's a small amount of disk action, then nothing. Is there any documentation of the startup procedure that Visual Studio goes through as it loads It would be helpful if I knew what files it was trying to access and what scripts it was trying to run. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving a dual server instance to new hardware

  I'm in the middle of moving a dual server instance of tfs to a couple of test machines. We've successfully installed the tfs dual server setup to the app and data tiers, and restored the databases from the live instance to the test setup. I'm just in the final stages of the move and am hesitant to run the tfsadminutil activateat command because of the prompt i receive. It asks me to make sure the old app tier has stopped the tfs service before running the command. My question is this. By running the command on the new server, will it in any way affect the old instance. The reasons; I have a live instance running on 2 machines, and I want to do some testing in a staging environment, so I need to live instance to be available after I do th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Very slow load of C++/CLI project with WinForm

  I have a large C++/CLI project that I'm building with VS 2005. I've added a WinForm to the project that contains some 3rd party components (DevExpress). It compiles and runs, but when I load the project into Visual Studio it takes 5 minutes to start up! Before I added the WinForm it took about 10 seconds. I took a look at what VS 2005 is doing during this time and it's creating 94 folders in C:\Documents and Settings\Fred\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectAssemblies and copying my project's .EXE and .PDB file into each one. Unfortunately, the .EXE is 11MB and the .PDB is 32MB... all-in-all it's copying 3.82Gb of data (4K at a time) which takes a while. Also, if I make any change in the form designer an ...Show All
