• SQL Server Update Variable after a conditional split

  I have a Variable called - UpdateIDs. I would like to create a conditional split on id's that have no responses and id's that have responses. The idea is. There is a whole bunch of tables that can be updated if the foreign key is in the no responses id's. So I have created a data flow. The conditional split is there, but I do not have a "Update Global Variable" Destination source. Is there away to achieve this. Basically this is the logic that I am trying to use Dataflow --> Store Id's into Global Variable --> Data Flow update/insert Tables and Rows where Id in Gloabl Variable. Is there another way this can be done Sorry I am very new to this, and would appreciate any help Thanks Andrew ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Bug? Pushpin text gets misplaced if pushpin located at the bottom of map

  Popup cloud gets misplaced when the pushpin located at the bottom of a map AND the browser window is smaller that the “height” value of the map’s DIV (there needs to be some space below the map’s DIV to reproduce the bug in IE). See the code sample to reproduce the bug. The code sample provides a map in a DIV with “height:500px” and some extra space below the DIV. There is a single pushpin in the very bottom of the map. If browser window height is bigger than 500 pixels then everything works fine. To reproduce the wrong behavior change your browser window height so that it is shorter than 500 pixels in height and scroll the content to the bottom of the page. Now, if you move your mouse over the pushpin the pushpin text appears way below th ...Show All

• Visual C# Sleep or timer for very small interval?

  I am working on some laser show software that draws points very rapidly for laser graphics. I need to draw points up to 30000 points/second and at event intervals. So, I need to call my MovePoint(x,y) function at intervals as small as 0.00003 seconds or 0.03 milliseconds. Obviously, the standard Sleep and Timer functions won't do me any good. So, what alternatives do I have One thing I have thought of doing is to call an unmanaged C function that exectutes assembly language NOPs. But is there a better way Would QueryPerfomanceCounter do anything for me I know it can give me preciese time measurement but I don't know how I could use it to pause or trigger an event. Any help would really be appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual C# C# components

  hello! how to use components which are not part C# tool bar. mean i downloaded XP progress bar from Code project and now i want to include it in my programme. what the way i will use You say "as usual", but in fact very many of the components on CodeProject are available in source code form. And the original poster said he got the component from CodeProject. So it's not a foregone conclusion that it will be in a DLL. If you have the source, as you often will from CodeProject, it's usually preferable to add that code to your project rather than packaging it as a separate DLL. Putting it into a separate DLL complicates deployment, as you've now got an extra file to ship. So if you have the choice, in most scenario ...Show All

• SQL Server Need to join two tables using only part of a field from one of the tables.

  I need to join two tables that both have a field called caseid. The field in table 1 is ten numbers and the field in table 2 is 15 numbers. The 10 most significant numbers are consistant in both table 1 and 2. How do I tell the join to only use the 10 most significant numbers from table 2 Or how do I tell the join to ignore the 5 least significant numbers from table 2 Thanks. I don't know I understand you well, but try something like this: with first ( id , pk ) as ( select 1 , 1234567890 union select 2 , 1111111111 union select 3 , 2222222222 ), second ( id , fk ) as ( select 11 , 123456789012345 union select 22 , 111111111122222 union select 33 , 222222222233333 ...Show All

• SQL Server Absolute beginner - How do I carry out a STANDALONE install of MSSQL EE 2005

  Help!!! I want to install SQLExp2K5 with Advanced Services on a standalone basis on my Dell Inspiron XPS laptop (Win XP sp2, .NET 2.0; 2gb RAM; 8mb broadband; hardware firewall/router) so that I can learn SQL/VB/VWD, and want to use SQL E 2K5 without internet connectivity (at least until I know what the hell I'm doing!) Really confused as to what component(s), and services I should/should not install - so I've listed my questions below: 1. Service Account : As I'm not on / dont have a domain, i presume using a domain user account is not an option for me. Should I use the Local Service account If so, what are/can be the issues in doing so 2. Authentication Mode : Is Windows Authentication the one to use for a standalone instal ...Show All

• Visual C++ Corrupt Builds After Cancel

  Our team has a ~50 project solution with a few dlls, lots of libs, and three executables. If I do a build solution, and at any point during the build hit Control-C to cancel it, whatever is being built at the time I hit the button is now corrupt. It looks like it leaves the partially created .obj, .exe, or .dll around and doesn't detect that it only got halfway through. Is this a common symptom Is there some known fix (MSDN and google searches didn't turn up any hits) Our projects and solution are all converted from 2003, if that's any help. Thanks for any info, Chris Jurney Senior Programmer Relic Entertainment It's exclusively C++. I haven't tried clicking the menu, but control+break causes the problem ...Show All

• Community Chat Comicster

  Since I use every opportunity to promote my little freeware app, it'd be remiss of me not to post something in this new forum (thanks Joe). Comicster is an application to catalog your comic-book collection. I made it in Visual C# Express, with some help from Visual Web Developer Express for the web services. I started work on it back in one of the early CTPs of .NET 2.0, and still working on new features etc today. It has a whole bunch of interesting features, like a 'skin' system that uses plain text files with HTML and custom tags (like <#details>) that get replaced using a regex pattern to be displayed in a WebBrowser control. Internally it uses an ADO.NET typed DataSet to store its data, and it persists this by writi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is VSS 2005 a part of Visual Studio 2005

  Hi, We have already bought the licences for Visual Source Safe 2005. However the vendor sent us a media for Visual Studio 2005. I could not find VSS 2005 in the CD's. Does VSS 2005 comes as a seperate software or its a part of the Visual Studio 2005 Thanks Amit Hello- VSS comes as separate media from Visual Studio. Your vendor should have given you VSS discs if you paid for the licenses. I would recommend contacting them. -Luke ...Show All
