• .NET Development Looking for advice on importing records into SQL Express from VB.NET app

  Hello, On my server I have a table called tblCustomer in which I import data from an access database. I would like to have a vb.net app that would look at the SQL Server database, and then import all the records in my tblCustomer on a weekly basis across the network. Or even better, look at the SQL Server table, and see what new records were added or removed, and then update the local table with those records...Is this possible Any other advice on an easier way Thanks. Ok thanks. What I have done is imported the data from acess to my server running SQL 7.0. I will create a distribution package that I can run once a month against my SQL server database to implement that process. From the cli ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I prevent a Solution Item from being opened on AddFromFile?

  Hi, I've developed a Project group wizard that adds items to the solution items of a solution, the problem is that when I add a testrunconfig file or an xml file to the solution items by using: Project prjSolItems = (( Solution2 )solution).AddSolutionFolder( "Solution Items" ); prjSolItems.ProjectItems.AddFromFile("C:\\SomeFolder\\localtestrun.testrunconfig"); The IDE opens a dialog with the test configuration and I have to press close for my wizard to continue. Is there a way of preventing this model dialog from opening Thanks Gabo Thanks for the reply, I've also checked the MSDN site as well and it is posted there but MS says that it will not be fixed in the next v ...Show All

• SQL Server Basic dBase Q

  Hi, I would like to create a dbase for a PocketPC, Windows Mobile. I have MS SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition. The dBase would just be on the PocketPC, maybe have to sync up with my laptop. I thought there was something like Pocket Acess one could use. When creating this dBase useing SQL it forces one to connect to my local work network, which seems to me is not needed or nessesary. Really no need to. Almost like this is an overkill. Is this the only way to develope a mobile database Thanks Jeff ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TextReader Not Getting Special Characters

  I need to read text from a textfile which contains non-ASCII characters. A sample line from the file is: tda Oo u> Sv e pe=vSwanm!. 3. The non-Standard characters are in bold and underlined. The usual code I implemented in order to read the text does not work: Dim fileReader As System.IO.TextReader = New _ System.IO.StreamReader("example.txt") Dim firstLine As String = fileReader.ReadLine MsgBox(firstLine) With this code, firstLine should contain " tda Oou> Svepe=vSwanm!. 3." , but it does not. (i.e. firstLine contains " tda u> Sv pe=vSwanm!. 3.") If, on the other hand, I directly implement: Dim lineOfText As String = "tda Oou> Svepe=vSwanm!. 3." MsgBox(lineOfText) , ...Show All

  Hello In our application we get drawing commands over the serial interface. Therefore we created on offscreen buffer.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Character Animation

  I am very anxious getting started on character animation with XNA. If I use a model editing and animation software like 3ds max I could set up my key frame animation incl. bone structure in 3ds max, export this out over *.fbx, what is supported by XNA. However, as far as I know there is no support for animation over the content pipeline. Is there anybody out there, knowing how to do it, who could actually show me the way or point in the right direction Help on that important issue is very much appreciated. Is there a resolution to be expected with the next release of XNA waruwaru, I run the XNA requirements checker. Everything seems to be installed, still having the same problem and error. ...Show All

One thing though I tried: to create proc with dbcc executing and than run insert ... exec proc Each time I was getting errors reguring wrong number of columns I used in insert statement.
