• SQL Server System Variables in a SSIS package

  hello all, I am having a hard time referenceing system variables. Can some one give me a quick lesson I am trying to save system variables suck as StartTime finishtime and processes ran I want to store these items into a table for use later. FATSO wrote: This is what I have been trying to do. Declare @MyProcess as char SET @MyProcess = 'Zrocess 1' INSERT INTO dbo.ProcStat (Starttime, Process) VALUES (@[System::StartTime], @MyProcess ) Should be simple, but it is not working. Your best bet would be to create this as an expression on the Execute SQL Task's SQLStatementSource property. The expression will look something like this: "Declare @MyProcess as char SET @MyProcess = 'Zrocess 1' INSE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding contents of textboxes on RDLC report

  I have an rdlc report that has two textboxes. The values of these textboxes are items received on time, and items late. This is caluclated using decision function and counting the rows that match. I have a third text box that I want to add the contents of textbox 1 & the second textbox. Currently I am recalulating using decision functions which seems a bit excessive when I alreay have the values sitting in other textboxes. Thing is I cant find the way to call the textboxes on the rdlc report. Using =textbox1.value + textbox2.value does not work. Can anyone tell me how to use the values in these fields Try the following expression (if all three textboxes are in the same scope) for your textbox3: =ReportItems!textbox1.Value + ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I debug???

  Hi, I worte an MFC program and compiled it in "Debug", but I compiled it in "Release" configuration. Then, I modified my code for additional functionality, but I can't debug the program anymore with "Debug" configuration. It gave me error like "Debug Assertion Failed" when I ran program in "Debug" mode. I do want to debug my program for its correctness. Do you have any idea how I can debug Thanks, vcboy It is quite difficult to see why it is giving a debug assertion by looking at the above code. To have more clarity, start your program in debug mode (Press F5) and when it shows the assertion dialog, press retry. It will go to the lin ...Show All

• SQL Server PAE, AWE and pagefile

  Can you please consider the following scenario: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (32-bit) SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition Server with 8GB memory 1. If we enable /3GB and /PAE, the server can see and use 8GB memory, OS has 1GB, applications can use the remaining 7GB, can install 2 instances of SQL with a max server mem set to 3GB each, SQL should be able to allocate memory from the upper 4GB RAM. (True / False) 2. We only need to enable AWE if any single instance need to cache more than 4GB of data so we could for example configure one instance with AWE and set the max mem to 5GB and set the second instance to use 2GB max . (True / False). 3. 32-bit windows server OS can support a maximum of 4GB virtual memo ...Show All

• Visual C# Using assignment in an if/while/ condition?

  Hey all,   I am currently working on a rather large product and am nearing completion, and I was currently working on some of the Excel/Word conversion and IO routines and I thought to do something like this... StreamReader sr = new ...blah blah blah while ((tempString = sr.Readline()) != null) { < parsing code here...> }   .. Is there anything absolutely wrong with that type of while or if statement Is it considered bad practice   Will that sort of thing even work right ;p   You can nest however much *** you feel like reading. As long of course as all the the return values make sense. I miss being able to use multiple assignments like x=y=z=t like ...Show All

• Visual C# Applying downloaded update?

  How do I apply an update for my app Well you can't write to your own application whilst its in use so there are a couple of ways of going about doing this. Create a seperate application to download an update. The update service could be a customly built webservice which this application calls, giving it the current application versionings. The webservice will then compare the versioning given to it (current version) to the updated version on the server and send that file down to the client, which will take it and write it to disk. This is one way, and common, of doing so. I've done it myself and proven very successful, thankfully. You could also use clickOnce I believe to update your application: http://msdn2.microsoft.co ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with PreComputed Partitions and numeric partition key (HOST_NAME())

  BOL says the following (headed with important): "The HOST_NAME () function returns an nchar value, so you must use CONVERT if the column in the filter clause is of a numeric data type, as it is in the example above. For performance reasons, we recommended that you not apply functions to column names in parameterized row filter clauses, such as CONVERT(nchar,EmployeeID) = HOST_NAME () . Instead, we recommend using the approach shown in the example: EmployeeID = CONVERT(int, HOST_NAME ()) . This clause can be used for the @subset_filterclause parameter of sp_addmergearticle (Transact-SQL), but it typically cannot be used in the New Publication Wizard (the wizard executes the filter clause to validate it, which fails because the compu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rants on XNA 1.0

  This is my first reaction when I installed and tried the 1.0 of XNA. To summarize my feeling: it's still 95% for XBox and no nearer to replace the old MDX 1.0. So I decided not to migrate from MDX to XNA though I want to do that very much. I feel like MDX 2 more; amen to MDX 2. The hardest issue for me is the content pipeline, which is very necessary, but the workflow is fixed and it assumes the contents are only built before the program runs. The helper functions wrapping D3DX can only be used with types in the content pipeline. I have to utilize the full content pipeline just for generating something dynamically, of course with significant performance cost. Or I have to write those D3DX utilities my self. Currently I don't have a good id ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS - Multiple Projects

  Hello I hope you can help me with this... I would like to create one build-type with more solutions that should be built. The thing is that I have different project-types (C/C++, C#) and I have to copy certain files (eg. *.dll) after 1 solution was built correctly, and those files will be used by the next solution. 1. How can I (and is it possible to) import another target at runtime if it fullfills a certain condition 2. Can I also change the <PlatformToBuild> (like Any CPU/Win32/...) at runtime before the next solution starts to build Thank you, MrMoon Hi MrMoon You could create multiple build types and write a script that builds them in the sequence you want. You can copy dlls in between the ...Show All
