• Visual Basic VB.Net IDE Crashes Often...

  I am having a problem where my VB.Net IDE crashes often throughout the day... I have a Client/Server application that I am developing, shared between the two is a ClassLibrary I developed. So my Client and Server project both have this ClassLibrary as a Project added to the main Solutions. This way if I am in either the Client or the Server code, I can immediately get access to the ClassLibrary code to make changes if needed. Now, my problem is that several times a day, when I attempt to open a form in Design view, I get a white screen with a pink bar on the top that says: One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may ...Show All

• SQL Server Using variables in a data reader source

  Greetings SSIS friends, I have tried using a sql command for my data reader source. I added the following expression to my datareader source : "select * from result where result_id > " + @[max_result_id] but I get the following error message : The SQL command has not been set correctly. Check SQLCommand property. I then got rid of the variable (defined at package level) and replaced it with a string like so : "select * from result where result_id > " + "123456" but I still get the same error message! What am I doing wrong ! Please advise. Hi Rafael, For some reason, SSIS is expecting me to have something in the SqlCommand in the datareader source component ...Show All

• .NET Development "Could not create type..." error deploying webservice

  I know this question has been asked a billion times already because I've found several instances on the net, but none of the proposed solutions seems to solve my problem, so I'd appreciate any help. I've created a C# webservice on my local machine that runs fine. Now I'm trying to deploy it to a webserver. The server is Windows 2003 with IIS 6. I created a new virtual directory in IIS, set it to be an application, and gave it "scripts only" execute permissions. I've manually copied all the files from my local webservice directoy to the virtual directory on the server. When I try to access the page, I get the dreaded "Could not create type 'Service'" message. Here is some additional interesting information: 1. I'm ...Show All

• SQL Server Grant "view server state"

  New SQL User...v2005. I have been directed to Grant "View Server State" permissions to a user. However, I don't see it in the list of choices I can grant access to in Permissions, nor is there a visible hyperlink in an area that it is expected to be. I have also tried setting that permission in a query window to no avail as well. I can provide additional info if someone would like to work with me on this issue. Thanks! "VIEW SERVER STATE" is a server level permission and not a database level permission. So you cannot grant it to a database user. You have to grant to a login. hope that helps, ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change colour of modified datagrid row

  Hi all, I am working on VS.Net 2003. I have a datagrid, on CurrentCellChanged event of that i am checking if there is any modification in cell by user, i am updating database with modified data. But i need to change the color of that modified row to indicate user that row has been updated. How can i do that Thanks in advance. Deepz It's not easy for you to achieve that with a DataGrid, it doesn't have a Row[x].BackColor property as the DataGridView(which is a .NET2.0 control)does. So you have to override the OnPaint event, do lots of work, for more information, read this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996485.aspx ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Run a Workflow in a Workflow and cancel it

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Meaningfull exception information

  Is it possible to get some informative exception message than: "Error in the application.\n-2146232832 (Unknown)\n at Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.TextureLoader.FromStream..." I really want to understand what went wrong. Probably if you switch to the debug DirectX in the control panel, turn up debug output to max , enable unmanaged debugging in your project settings (if you have VS Pro - this option is not in VS Express) and looked in the debug output pane, you might find an error description... But I'm not certain... As Wessam says though - it doesn't always tell you what is going on. ...Show All
