• SQL Server OLEDB Destination Error in SSIS Package not returning error column/desc

  I have a SSIS package that reads data from a dump table, runs a custom script that takes date data and converts it to the correct format or nulls and formats amt fields to currency, then inserts it to a new table. The new table redirects insert errors. This process worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. I am processing just under 6 million rows, with 460,000 or so insert errors that did give error column and code. Now, I am getting 1.5 million errors. and nothing has changed, to my knowledge. I receive the following information. Error Code -1071607685 Error Column 0 Error Desc No status is available. The only thing I can find for the above error code is DTS_E_OLEDBDESTINATIONADAPTERSTATIC_UNAVAILABLE To add to the confus ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to load resource from library assembly

  Hi everyone, I'm working on a two-project setup where one project is a WPF component library and the other is a WPF application. I'm trying to load a separate PNG image resource from both.

  i have to write an application to do some stuff, firstly i need it to be "always on" and i need to be able to   have "schedules" in the application, every 20 minutes, once or twice a day at certain time etc....   i guess that using a windows service and utilising the system.threading.timer class would be the best way to go about this... are there any other, maybe better, ideas about how to tackle this The thing is that i need my application to save state throughout its life and i need to execute methods based on the state of some of the objects.

• Visual C# Need help in Batch Printing

  Hi, I am needing to batch print a number of Word documents. Some of these are already created others are created on the fly from database data using Interop. The problem I am having is printing the already created documents, it locks up Word and confuses the print queue. The process is: 1. Build doc 1v1 and print 2. Build doc 2v2 and print 3. Print doc 3 4. Build doc1v2 and print 5. Build doc 2v2 and print 6. Print doc 3 etc... For each build and print, Word is activated (but not made visible). A pop up automatically appears(not coded by me but part of Word) to show printing is being done, this closes and the next item is then printed. After 3 or 4 items it locks up and I can only release the printer by ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Quick help needed pls,

  Well this hopefully will be the last question i need answering, How do i make it so that "" this will appear in a message box, cause at the moment it uses it as if you was making it say something such as: MsgBox ("Hello") i need it so when the message box pops up it would say "Hello" and not Hello Please help Not content with the answers so far, I was curious the performance difference between """ and String.format("{0}",ControlChars.Quote).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DoDragDrop Question

  I've been playing with some of the code from DragDropManager. I've added adorners to a bunch of images before the user starts to drag so the objects will be instantly available. However, once DoDragDrop is called, the MouseMove events on the Window don't fire so I can't move the adorners around. Any ideas on how to get this working I notice that in Pavan's DragDropManager the adorner object isn't created until DoDragDrop() is called. I'm assuming this is just a performance thing, but maybe maybe objects created outside DoDragDrop are frozen Doesn't seem like that would be the case... Any tips would be great. I'm fairly new to .NET so don't assume I'm not overlooking something simple. Brian Lest ...Show All
