• Visual Studio Team System Generating upgrade scripts from baseline

  Hi guys, I'm investigating using the DBP version of TS to solve our database versioning situation for a project we are currently planning. I have played around with it for a bit now, but there is one thing that I can't figure out. Take the following scenario: Production system has version n of the database, which was deployed at some point in time. After 6 months of development we are ready to generate a new release. A release consists of an MSI or two that does everything to install the new software upgrade the databases. The build system has no access to communicate with the production system, or test systems, or any other system. other than the build machines. How do I get VS4DBP to generate me an upgrade script for each env ...Show All

• SQL Server Slow Running Insert After Changing OLE DB Destination Data Access Mode

  Hello, In a Data Flow Task, I have an insert that occurs into a SQL Server 2000 table from a fixed width flat file. The SQL Server table that the data goes into is accessed through an OLE DB connection manager that uses the Native OLE DB\Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server. In the OLE DB Destination, I changed the access mode from Table or View - fast load to Table or View because I needed to implement OLE DB Destination Error Output. The Error output goes to a SQL Server 2000 table that uses the same connection manager. The OLE DB Destination Editor Error Output 'Error' option is configured to 'Redirect' the row. 'Set this value to selected cells' is set to 'Fail component'. Was changing the access mode the simple reason ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListView.Refresh what am I missing?

  I have a ListView control (Detail view) that I fill programatically. I expected that when I changed the value of a 'cell' (a sub-item on one of the listview items) that I could just call Refresh on the ListView control. But I don't get the updated value displayed. I must be missing something (grr....), probably simple and obvious (I hope). If I walk the data in the control, I see the updated value, but my use of the Refresh method must be incorrect. In the example below, the little WalkThroughAnswerList function displays the correct (updated) values. Please see the code fragments below. Note that I am using .Net 1.1 (and VB 2003). AnswerList is the ListView control. Private Sub AnswerList_DragDrop( ByVal sender As Object , ...Show All
