• SQL Server Errors Deploying an SSIS package

  Hi All, I hope someone can help becuase this problem is issue us several headaches. We are currently trying to deploy an SSIS package to a production server. The deployment goes fine, the package runs ok when executed manually. The issues start when we try and execute it under the SQL agent. Having gone back to the drawing board and spent much of the day reading various articles and applying the various options (especially those within the MS KB article 918760 ), we are still no closer to a resolution. The SSIS package was created under an Administrator, and the SQL agent runs under a different Domain Admin account. When we set up the Schedule to read from SQL Server or the SSIS Store the standard "Executed as user: D ...Show All

• .NET Development Who's using .Net?

  I am just starting using VB.Net and loving it. But can anyone point to an example of an application created using .Net It seems as if Microsoft doesn't make many apps with it. I am trying to show coworkers some examples. Thanks, Chris ASP.NET is pretty much ready for prime-time, providing genuinely useful functionality, stablility, and real productivity enhancing features. imho, Windows forms isn't suitable for anything but internal and small application development. 2.0 makes some big improvements, but, without a 3rd party UI library, you're really not going to get too far. That's why you haven't seen large apps delivered on a Windows Forms platform yet (and probably never will). An exa ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need to determine the first Monday of the Month

  I need to determine the First Monday of the Month using VB.NET.  I know that code select DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0, dateadd(dd,6-datepart(day,'2006-12-04'),'2006-12-04') ), 0) works nicely on SQL Server I tried to use the similar VB code but received funny result  1/07/0237 .

• Windows Forms Updating project without changing DB

  Please excuse me if this is a silly question but this is my first project with VB (VS 2005 Express Edition). The application uses SQL Server 2005 Express. Soon, I will be in a position to take a large amount of data from the end user of the project and put it into the database then deploy the application to his machine. This will be a long process as there is some data in spreadsheets and lots of data on the backs of envelopes etc! At this point he will begin to use the application and add/modify data on a regular basis. However, after a few weeks, he will return to me and say "Can you change this part There's a bug in that part etc." How can I then update the application and re-install it on his machine and mai ...Show All

• Windows Forms Textfield with "money" value from DB, shows 4 decimals. How to remove them?

  I have a textfield which is bound to a database field of type Money. The problem is that it shows 4 decimal places. I don't want to show any decimals, and preferably round it instead of trimming. I'm fairly new to windows forms - are there any properties that lets me control this Or do i really have to manually program every field to round the value, and trim the decimals I find it pretty silly that it's displaying 4 decimals by default - even when it's 1,0000... 2 would be "ok", but 4...
