• SQL Server The script threw an exception: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

  Hi, I got an strange problem with one of my packages. When running the package in VisualStudio it runs properly, but if I let this package run as part of an SQL-Server Agent job, I got the message "The script threw an exception: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown." on my log and the package ends up with an error. Both times it is exactly the same package on the same server, so I don't know how the debug or even if there is anything I need to debug Regards, Jan Really you need more detail, what is the actual code operation that raises this exception. It is easy enough to write code that consumes too much memory, so you need to examine why and address the ...Show All

How to make it to appear above the dropdown list control Is this possible (I m using IE 6 browser, whether is this browser problem ) I really not able to find the problem...can any1 please help me... I m in urgent need...!!!! Thankfully, jm This is an old problem that relates to how IE displays drop-down boxes. The easiest way to fix the problem is to upgrade to Internet Exporer 7. It should work just fine. All of the IE browsers before version 7 use a different mechanism to display drop-down boxes. The only way to get it to not show over the top of your HTML tags is to temporarily turn the yourSpecific ...Show All

• Visual Studio Multiple projects or multiple database???

  We have many different applications. Should I create separate sourcesafe databases for each application or should I create one database with multiple projects The advantages of the latter are obvious in that all code can be seen at once. Our company uses contractors on a regular basis however and it would be nice to only give them access to the application they are working on. What are people's thoughts on this Thanks. Hi Yes, you highlighted two of the main concerns. Ease access by have a central database and security in limiting access to contractors. You should try to keep the database under 5 gig in size so if combining applications into one database will make your database start to app ...Show All

• Windows Forms KeyPress is handled before KeyDown?

  I thought that the KeyDown event was handled before the KeyPress event, but it looked like I was wrong. Can someone please confirm that KeyPress is handled before KeyDown By the way, why the Delete key doesn't get trapped in the KeyPress event (it does get trap in KeyUp/Down events though). Thanks. Hi Under the covers KeyDown is analogous to the WM_KEYDOWN message, KeyUp is the WM_KEYUP message. Key Press is a .net event that's fired after the key comes up. The easiest way to figure this out is to over-ride WndProc in your form with a few Debug.WriteLine / Print statements to see what is happening. Something along these lines: protected override void WndProc( ref Message m) ...Show All

• Visual C# Adding text to a listbox

  I am trying to add text to a listbox by using a string type variable. During debug I noticed that the variable had the text I wished to add to the listbox, but the listBox1.Items.Add(s_Text); didnt' do anything. Is there a different way your supposed to do this ok the problem is simple. The user creates another main form instance in the other form "Add Items" and adds items to this new main form instance - this will not work. It will continue to operate but since the original existing main form is "alive", you are not dealing/handling with it but creating a new instance (another instance) of the main form. You need to reference the main form into this "Add Items" form and ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Displaying Media from an IStream - is Directshow what I should use

  Warning - I'm a complete beginner at DirectShow. I need to come up with a solution to play audio and video in our application. However there are several gotchas in the requirements, that are making it difficult for me to know where to begin - I think Direct~Show is the answer, but am not sure how to proceed. The first gotcha is that the media does not exist as files on the users machine - they are downloaded from remote machines and need to be played as they are downloaded. I can provide an IStream interface to the data. The second gotcha is that I do not know what format the data is in ahead of time. I do receive the filename of the data on the remote machine and I can seek to any position in the file and read a block of data. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with Listview, XAML and hover

  Hi, I have a program that is done in XAML with C# code behind. I have a ListView that is employing the GridView layout. I need to be able to detect the ListViewItem over which the mouse is hovering so that I can make another form pop up (similar to a ToolTip) displaying information relevant to the user contained in that item. The ListView is instantiated in XAML, so the GetItemAt event only allows me one argument, index. I would like to be able to use mousePoint.X and mousePoint.Y to get the item that the mouse it currently over. I tried this event handler: grdUsers.AddHandler(ListViewItem.MouseEnterEvent, new MouseEventHandler(Tip_Opening)); however, it doesn't give me the ListViewItem as the sender, but, instead, gives me the ListView it ...Show All
