• SQL Server SCD question

  Hi All, I am new to SSIS and have one question about SCD and its limitations. I am trying to update / insert a table based on 2 other external columns. I have done my lookups to transform and grab the necessary columns and have a final dataset ready for insertion/updates. So at this point I was hoping to use SCD to do my updates/inserts based on the criteria that I was given but the only problem is that 2 columns that are necessary to determine if the row should be updated or inserted do not exist in the target table. Is there a way around this or can someone show me another method to achieve my goal Thanks, Cheston thanks for the quick response. would it be possible to show me how to do this or point me ...Show All

• SQL Server Response time of Reporting Services

  Hi ! We have a web application. We have receive some feedback from our client about the response time of ReportServer. Here is the problem. Let says that for a couple of hours nobody has request any reports from ReportServer. Then someone is requesting a report. In this case the time before the ReportViewer will start to query the report will be longer than usual. It's like some kind of process is shut down and ReportServer need to start this process before processing the report. Once this report will be display the problem disapear.

But once again if for a couple of hours nobody is requesting a report, the next time someone will request a report it w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions icons scrampled in toolbox

  Hi, I have a strange problem lately regarding the IDE. The icons inside the Toolbox are all scrambled. Like this morning when i opened it, all the buttons are appearing as clock icons (except pointer icon is appearing normally)! It all happened a few weeks ago, and one note needs to mention is that the whole project we are doing is frequently copied and pasted from one computer to another (the whole solution directory). Does anyone know what happens Thanks Tigerwood2006, According to your problem, I recommand you that the best solution is reinstall the VB Express Edition. Luckly that it is not so huge as Visual Studio. If you cannot run your previous projects with the controls correctly, and even ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio Developer News Start Page news channel URL

  I recently installed Visual Studio 2005. My preferred language is C#. The Start Page initially displayed the message "The current news channel might not be valid or your Internet connection might be unavailable. To change the news channel, on the Tools menu click Options, then expand Environment and click Startup." All good stuff, but didn't help me get a valid Developer News connection. Unfortunately I tried to put in a URL from a microsoft website, overwriting the default URL. AND I didn't write down the default. So now I can't get Developer News and can't set the Start page news channel URL back to the original value. Anyone know the original value I have the same problem here, re ...Show All

• Visual C++ Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.

  I am working on a mulitple project solution in .Net 2003 whcih contains a mixture of C++ and C# code, either DLLs or LIBs. The main dll called is a mixture of unmanaged and managed code, managed code was added due to the addition of the C# code. I have a test application that calls this dll to run tests, surprise that! If I compile the test application, which is a VB.Net application, to the same directory as where all the DLLs and LIBs are built to all works fine. However, if the test application is built to a different folder I get the following error when I run the application: Run Time error '-2147024894(80070002)' File pr assembly name Blah.dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to determine message size that goes over wire?

  Hi , I need to determine System.ServiceModel.Channels. Message size that goes over wire. I have intercepted message in public void AfterReceiveReply( ref System.ServiceModel.Channels. Message reply, object correlationState) method of IClientMessageInspector interface. In quick watch reply message was formatted and when I saved it in txt file, file size was 105K.

MessageBuffer mb = reply.CreateBufferedCopy(maxBufferSize); mb.WriteMessage(str); and file size was 70K. Is any of these two va ...Show All

• SQL Server Seeking help demonstrating a simple drill down in Report Builder using Adventureworks

  Folks, I'm interested in demonstrating how ReportBuilder can let a user drill down through relationships, as it described here, where it suggests that a report of employees could have them click on department to see other employees in that department: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337330.aspx Unfortunately, it only says that "the person who created the data souce" made the fields "interactive". It doesn't clarify how they are to do that. I realize there's an option to create a report and save it as a clickthrough from another, as described here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365324.aspx But I was hoping that instead something more straightforward may be possible in the report model design proce ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Incorrect code coverage results

  Hi, I have a test class written that runs a suite of unit tests against a utility class in my assembly which is installed to GAC on the local machine.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. get screen resolution & FullScreen

  How do I get screen resolution of the computer Because my program will be shared between many computers, I want the program to find the resolution of the computer on wich it is running. By example, on my computer at home, the program will return the value 1024 and the value 768 in order to make 1024 X 768. On my laptop, I will get 1920 and 1200. I want to get the width and the height separately, in two variables. With those values, I will be able to set automatically on each computer the window size as I want it. To resume, I am looking for something like this: width = computer.ScreenResolution.width; height = computer.ScreenResolution.height; Also...

• SQL Server Data flow task multiple destinations

  Hi, The further i get with doing my current SSIS package the more i am starting to wonder about best practices and performance. My current package loops through CSV files in a specified location and extracts events from these files. Each file contains multiple events which are a mixture of different types. Depending on the event there are a different number of comma seperated values. In the package i firstly set each event to one column seperated by a comma delimeter. I then create an array for the event which is split by the delimeter. In a script i weed out all elements of the array that are common to all events and set the remaining events to another array. After some processing i come to my conditional split transformation which splits ...Show All

• Windows Forms Console Output from a Windows Form

  I have a windows form program which also includes a command line interface to a few of its features. When command line options are pased to the program the GUI is not displayed, and the command line code is properly excuted. However none of the output to the console appears. I was able to get the console output to be displayed by having Visual Studio 2005 compile my program as a console app instead of a windows app, but this causes a console window to be opened when you run just the GUI portion of the program. Is there anyway I can get the console output to appear without having this console window opened with my program when running the GUI part To add on, if you've played with the raw compile option ...Show All
