• SQL Server Deploying with a single path pointing to all files

  I'm having major issues deploying my SSIS script for updating our database. I've been updating the remote db from visual studio (files on local system with oledb connection to sql server where changes (schema and data are being made) and never really tested deployment. Everytime I try following their example the local settings and paths are copied into the remote server's settings. I tried using one folder to store everthing and setting the path as ".\" but it appends "C:\Documents and Settings..." to it. I have a lot of sql scripts and 7 packages. Please provide a link to a relevant article or leave a suggestion if you know how to do this in a simple way (use a dts variable to set the path on the remote server for the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions vb command line problem

  Hi, I'm starting out in C++ and using the command line prompt to compile my programs using the cl /clr [programname].cpp command. Unfortunately, whenever I have alot of errors in my code, the error list this command generates overruns and I can't scroll backwards through them far enough to get to the earliest code errors (they seem to be "cut off"). Does anyone know a way around this Thanks so much, Chris What errors are you seeing What buffer do you want to change If it is for the buffer for the command window itself then just right click on thje Title Bar - select Properties - select Layout - and increase the value associated with Height (by default it is 300).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to make proper background

  Guys, do you know about any technique or good tutorial for rendering backgrounds I'm making a 3D directx space shooting game. I've made my background as this : 1 Sphere with cut caps (about 25% from each hemisphere) and 2 bended planes behind the empty spaces(cut caps) on the sphere. So using 3 textures - 1 for sphere and 2 for planes. However the image is still not quite reallistic and a bit distored mostly on the sphere. If I used just sphere I would get awful disstortion on the ends of hemispheres (because polygons meet up there in one vertex). I consider this to be just a temporary solution and I'm sure there is much better technique to render my SPACE background. Thx in advance, Peto ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BVT's without Team System Tester Edition - Possible?

  I'm trying to create a Team Build that will run all my unit tests as part of the build. The problem is though, when going through the wizard it allows me to select the vsmdi file, but there is no test lists available in the drop-down (and since I don't have team tester edition I don't think I can create new test lists). We can still run the tests in our Team Software Dev Edition, is there a way to make a Team Build that will also run all the tests as part of the build process without purchasing Team Tester Edition Can somebody provide some details about how we specify a .testrunconfig file if we are no longer using a vsmdi Do we still need to use a vsmdi file in a <MetaDataFile> element in addition ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie How to question

  Hello To All: This is my first post. In regards to vb5-express how do you write a code for a button that will display a change for a dollar In other words I have a textbox that ask the user to enter cents from one dollar. However I do not know how to write the correct code that will give the user change in half dollars, quarters and so on, by displaying the change in a label after the button or calculating button is pressed. Any help welcome Well I tried that and it was close to what I wanted but not exactly. If someone spends 25 cents then the result should display 3 quarters left, and thats the result that I am trying to get. But as of now the result that I am getting is just the amount. So if you can try to h ...Show All

I didn't find that options in the project properties Is there an option thanks, nope, no multiple projects.. I tried to set the dll as startup and it doesn't help. The only way I found to debug my dll is to add another exe project and set it as startup. and then there are problems because some times it finds the dll, and sometimes not - and you have to build several times until the visual studio is satisfied (and yes, I did set the solution build order). Not fun. ...Show All
