• Visual Studio Loop in MSBuild? Or how to launch MSBuild task from another?

  I need to loop some standard MSBuild tasks: GenerateResources and AL. In MSBuild there are no possibilities to do it, or I am wrong So I decide to implement custom task which will launch these task, but when I done it, there are errors during launching tasks from my custom: "Task attempted to log before it was initialized ..." It seems that Log wasn't initialized but how to do it ... As I understand it, this is the problem you want to solve - You have a directory containing a set of files (resource files in Root\App_LocalResources\*.resx) For each .resx file (say X.resx) in the directory, you want to a. Create a directory called Root\bin\X b. Convert X.resx -> X.resources -&g ...Show All

• Visual C++ std::list has changed in VS 2005

  It seems like std::list implementation has changed in that it now uses the & operator on elements of the list type. The difference between VS2005 and VS2003 implementation can be seen in the _Buynode( _Nodeptr _Next, _Nodeptr _Prev, const _Ty& _Val) method (line 1152 VS2005, line 915 VS2003). The problem with this is that if the & operator for the type is overloaded, the same code that used to work in VS2003 will no longer compile in VS2005. When the type used is a built-in type like _com_ptr_t, which overloads that operator, it is no longer possible to have a list<_com_ptr_t> type. Does anyone have a resolution for this This is always a problem for objects in container t ...Show All

• SQL Server 10 Slowest Performing Queries

  Hi I am analyzing the performance of queries and want to find out 10 worst resource consuming queries. Can anyone tell me how to do it like using profiler and tracking some events or any toehr queries that ai can run from time to time I know there are dm views in SQL 2005 but not sure which one and how to use it for a desired result AdminAnup yep,.....that's exactly how I do it.

• SQL Server Conditional Execution in the Control Flow via Script Task

  Greetings. I'm trying to conditionally execute a dataflow based on the presence of a data file. If the data file isn't present, I'd like to execute gracefully without error. Logic is as follows: If FileExists Then execute dataflow Else exit w/o error End If I've got the code ready to go, but I'm not sure how to do this conditional branch logic. Right now, the code calls the Dts.Results.Success / Failure. The problem, however, is Failure is exactly that... which doesn't result in the graceful exit I'm looking for. Anyone have any ideas Thanks in advance. Good Idea.

• Visual C# Some questions about working with dynamic linked dlls

  Well, I have some questions. My executible file (code was written on C# as a Windows Application), while running, should search some directory for *.dll files which have some special properties. That dlls must be written on C# as a UserControl library and they also must implement special class. The questions are: How can I check files or their properties to find out - are that files are dlls of that special type or not and how can I use classes from them ( I want to place that controls on the main Form in executible file) What should I do or what materials should I read to solve my problem Thanks for help.

• SQL Server YTD Member returns nothing if no data in current week

  I have YTD member set up within my cube. The following code works and returns the YTD figure for all weeks as long as there is data in the current week (ie most recent). If I set my current week to a week that doesn't contain data (ie this week) that doesn't yet contain this week's figures no values are returned. I thought that this might be linked to the values being null but I've now set the NullProcessing option to ZeroOrBlank and still the problem remains. Any ideas on what's going wrong here I Aggregate ( PeriodsToDate ( [Time].[Fiscal Hierarchy].[Fiscal Year], Filter ( [Time].[Fiscal Hierarchy].[Fiscal Week]. members , [Time].[Fiscal Week Current].[1]). item (0). lag (1) ) ) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Help with Winform and binding to an object

  I'm looking for the correct way for me to bind an object to a winform to display some of it's attributes. For Example a Person instance with first and last name. I've been able to do it using a BindingSource, but have run into several things that I don't like. 1. The bindingSource is working with a collection, I just want to have one "person" that I'm displaying on a winform. If I change the person, I want to just replace that instance, not add to a bindingSource and navigate. I don't want the navigating tool on the form either. 2. I want to have changes that are made to the current "person" flow up to the interface. A simple example would be a button, that changes the person's name directly. I use this as an example to ...Show All
