• SQL Server Get the variable from Execute Process Task to C#

  Hi! I need help with some C# code. I have build a SSIS package with an Execute Process Task. I need to send dynamic variables in to my C# program so I thought it was a good idea to use the StandardInputVariable. How do I get the variable in my C# code Thanks Carl My intention was have to have the argument to jump to a special method in the code. The variable will have information about witch rows in the table the code shall read in and treat. In any case, can I put a dynamic variable in the argument Carl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Providing alternate styles for a control

  involved_Mike_Brown wrote (at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=490249&SiteID=1 ): "What you want to do is create two named styles within your control's generic.xaml. After your control is initialized, set its template to one of the styles. If you want to change the style, load it from the resource dictionary and set the control's template to the new style."   Hi Mike, Could you explain this step a little more fully Practically all of the examples I have seen relate to themes rather than skins. The only skin example I have seen is the format outlined in the  Programming Windows Presentation Foundation book, but it seems like having default visuals and multiple skins for a custom control ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving Multiple Files/Folders

  Due to a lack of research on my part, I used the project root as the root for all my source for a particular project. This makes branching difficult because I want to branch all of the files/folders in the root into a release folder, and I can't branch into a folder that is in the root as well. My current layout looks like: $/Folder1 $/Folder2 $/Folder3 $/Folder4 $/Folder5 $/file1.ext $/file2.ext $/file3.ext I'm planning on changing this to: $/Main/Folder1 ... $/Main/Folder5 ... $/Main/file3.ext And then I can have my release folders like: $/Release 1.0.0.0/Folder1 ... First, are the any issues with this plan It seems pretty standard to me. Second, how I can easily move these folders and files I can't seem to select multiple ...Show All

• Windows Forms Master/Detail issue in DataGridView using DataGridViewComboBoxColumn

  Hello everyone, In the last few days I was trying to create a DataGridView that shows data from two tables related with a foreign key constraint. The DataGridView should have 2 columns. The first one, called 'Name' is a bounded column that gets data from the first table and the second column is an unbounded one of DataGridViewComboBoxColumn type that shows 'details' from the second table. This is a classic example of, lets say, region-city data binding. The DataGridView is formed by a number of regions (each region represents one row in the grid) and for each region a combo box shows the cities from that region... I've tried the examples from MSDN and even the given examples, but with no success... The error I get is: &q ...Show All

• SQL Server Microsoft Visual Studio is busy

  I get this message in a balloon that pops up frequently when I am trying to work in the SSIS designer. For example, I get it when working in a DataFlow task, trying to open editors for the OleDb Source and Destination. Is anyone else getting this What could be the cause, it seems to get sluggish. Thanks. Hi folks: I have the same exact problem. I see the message Visual studio is busy. For me this started happening after I installed Visual Studio 2005. I have 1 GB memory and i have both SQL 2000 (default instance) and SQL 2005 (named instance) running on the box. I never had this issue when i was running VS.NET 2003.

• Visual C++ C# DataGridView control in CWinFormsControl hangs on ALT + TAB

  I am developing a DataGridView control in Virtual Mode on a UserControl using the code in this article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/15a31akc.aspx Then it is hosted in an MFC dialog using the code in this article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/94t3ebxz(VS.80).aspx So far so good and everything works pretty much as it should. However if you ALT + TAB off to another application halfway through editing a cell the application hangs e.g. if you type 4 and then ALT + TAB. If you ALT + TAB to another application at any other stage there is no problem e.g. if you type 4 then click on another area of the UserControl and then ALT + TAB. Has anyone ever had any similar behaviour and if so what fixed i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Looking for lab or sample on WCF security

  I am new to WCF and want to learn about setting up security between server and client. I have read Keith Brown's article in the August MSDN magazine, which explains things clearly but I need more sample code, showing particularly how to configure endpoints, bindings and behaviors to set up message-based and transport-based security via the app.config file. I have come across a couple of blog entries with sample code, but they are from earlier times and the APIs have changed sufficiently that they don't build any more.   I am now using RC1, the latest.
