• .NET Development Utilizing FTP to create a local network program

  Hello to all readers, I require some assistance. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much. I am inquiring as to how one might go about writing an FTP program to back up to a local network folder, in C# of course. This has a practical application, I purchased and network-shared an extra harddrive using Windows XP for my wife to back up her data to. As she would say herself, she isn't very deft when it comes to the art of folder-clicking. I was hoping to infringe on yours and the community’s generosity in search of a cure for her woes. Such a cure would come in the form of automation. Brilliant. Again, thanks much for any assistance. Keano16FCeltic Thread moved to the appropr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Application has failed to start

  Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out with an error message that I am getting in the following scenario: We use Syncfusion controls and I upgraded from an old version of Syncfusion to the latest and greatest version. Was a long process because I had to go into each of the 11 projects comprising my application and delete the old references to the old Syncfusion assemblies, and add new references to the new Syncfusion assemblies. That being done, I created a Wise Installer for my application, which I have done successfully many times before, but after the application is installed, I get the following message when I double click on the .exe to launch the application: The application has failed to start because the applicati ...Show All

• SQL Server Question about Database Mirroring and Possibly NLB

  OK since my company really would not prefer to spend the money for Windows 2003 Enterprise and MS SQL 2005 Enterprise I was thinking about this idea... Server1 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Primary Server2 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Mirror Server3 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Witness Server4 - W2K3 Std - SQL2005 Std - Processing OK So we have Server1 & Server2 doing the Database Mirroring. Then I have Server3 as the Witness to say who is the Primary and so forth. Now Server4 I thinking to us to create jobs that will run on a Schedule to pull data from our Ticketing system and import it into Server1 & Server2 (Yes this is a Datawarehouse).. So what I am wondering... We really wish to not have to change our connections to the DB wit ...Show All

• SQL Server Encryption related overflow?

  Recently restored a SQL 2000 database to a SQL 2005 Server. The database contains a series of user stored procs (one calls upto 5 other sps) which are all encrypted using 'WITH ENCRYPTION' clause. When run on SQL 2000 Server this runs without error. When run on SQL 2005 Server it reports an error: Msg 565, Level 18, State 1, Procedure SPDM_MP1_SOURCE59, Line 5143 A stack overflow occurred in the server while compiling the query. Please simplify the query. Investigating the error line reported does not reveal any problems with the sp and the error line number reported is not always consistent. However, altering the stored procs so they are not encrypted and it all runs without error. Is there a compatibility issue running SPs e ...Show All

I have a data source that gets generated based on a variable with the following SQL : "select * from result where deletion_ind = 1 and when_deleted >= '" + (dt_str, 50, 1252) @[User::Last_Run_Date] + "'" But when I run my package I get an error message saying: The conversion of CHAR to DATETIME resulted in a DATETIME value out of range The Last_Run_Date variable is set to '2006-06-25 14:35:05.450' When I run the code in a QA session it works, but in the package it complains!

• SQL Server Queries from Excel take too long

  Hi, I'm using Excel's pivot table to query my cube. I'm also using Profiler to take a look at the incoming queries. I executed a query from Excel but it "hourglassed" on me I copy and pasted the query from Profiler into SSMS and ran it. It ran and returned results in 250ms according to Profiler The query as issued from Excel eventually completed in 264000ms  (i.e. Approx 1000 times as long) Anyone seen similar behaviour i.e. The same query taking orders of magnitude longer to execute from Excel I'm guessing there's something wacky going on in the OLE DB Provider but I don't know what and I certainly don't know how to go about doing something about it. Incidentally, I've pasted the MDX at the bottom of this post. D ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Subscribing Check-in events using tfs api?

  Is it possible to use the TFS API to create a tool to subscribe check in events. The problem with Bisubscribe.exe has to run on the application server. For many reasons we cannot always do that. Also, running a webservice on the application server requires a lot of maintenance. But webservice is still an option. I wanted to find out other possibilities. Please reply. Thanks, Parth See http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx postid=11700&siteid=1 for examples on using IEventService.
