• Visual Basic Accent Characters

  Here is the problem. I am accessing data, usually using streamreader, reading a line at a time. The data is in CSV format, so I parse it with the .split. However, a lot of the text contained in the files have the funky characters, such as: 6,"Jose","Grandon","",28, However, when I pull that in, I get Jos Grandn. Which is NOT what I want. Is there any quick and easy way to allow the text to be pulled in correctly Thanks, Larry The problem is that you actually need to know the encoding in order to reliably read the text. By default, the stream reader will assume that the text is UTF-8 encoded. Maybe you could try using the default encoding and pass it in to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Work in team with VS 2005 pro

  Hello, is there any way to work in team with visual studio 2005 professional. I mean, without having VSS nor team edition. Any work pattern that helps to develop an application by many coders where each of them have the VS 2005 professional. Any third-party tool that helps to work in this way Thankyou! It depends on what you call "team work": - At the very least, you will need a source code control provider, which can be TFS, or others like SourceSafe 2005, Source Safe 6.0 or 3rd party providers. - Optionally, you may want to enhance collaboration using shared repositories of documents (MS Project for schedules, Excel lists for tasks, Access databases of bugs, etc.).

• .NET Development Null Values when loading a DataTable with CSV

  I have been surfing the net for two days now but could not find an answer to this specific issue. I saw that there were recent postings here on similar issues - so I am hoping that my problem is obvious to the dudes who solved it. Here the scoop: Win WP - SP2; VS 2003 CSV file: xxxx, yyyy, zzzz 1,555, aaa Result in the DataTable - viewed via a DataGrid is: xxxx, yyyy, zzzz 1, 555, NULL System.ini - Three versions Return as shown above [Output.txt]    ColNameHeader = true    Format = CSVDelimited    CharacterSet = ANSI    MaxScanRows=25    Return as shown above - I changed the col-names in an obvious way - they still appeared true to the source.

• SQL Server multivalue parameters - is this possible ??

  i am trying to build a report that uses multivalue parameters - the report is a simple listing report that lists out a list of cases as a table - the data is obtained from a view which just returns all details for all cases there is no user input for the selection details - am going to be calling the report and passing over the parameter values directly to it. there are several parameters for the report - they all default to "All" for each of these parameters, i need to be able to either use the default value of "ALL" or to enter a list (comma separated ) q1) could i just enter the list as a string comma separated list (rather than as multivalued parameters) and then use this list to filter the data usin ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums POI - underground stations

  Hi, We are looking at implementing Virtual Earth and one of the main omissions that we have noted is the lack of tube and train stations (in locations such as London for example). Is this something that exists as a configurable item within the system thx mark This is a good approach. On top of this, you could use MapCruncher to overlay a Tube map to show the routes. BTW, VE does not currently include tube stations (or subway stations in the US). It is a common request though, and getting more common by the day. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WebTest aborted

  I had a rookie question: i record a web test; import a data source for 1000 keywords; select one run per data source row, then build the test project. After that i run this test, then the test will aborted without error message when several run passed. I tried it for several times, some time it will successful & some time it will aborted. How could i prevent it aborting. Thanks Yutong, I'll run the test again based on your steps and check if it could run successfully now. Here are some information about the test settings: 1.Yes, I'm running the test locally. 2.The datasource is from a table of sql2005 locally. This table only has one column with 1000 records of keywords. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System source control

  does visual studio team system for database professionals incude source control if yes, is the source control at the database level meaning if someone goes into Management Studio will they "see" that a stored procedure is currently checked-out and then they cannot modify that sp. Let me offer an alternative to what Sachin told you to do. He recommended all schema editing be done from within Visual Studio. I frankly think this is poor advice. And, in fact, if this is the only alternative we had, I wouldn't even consider using VSTE for DBPro. Say you wanted to add a table, a couple keys and a couple constraints to your schema. Following Sachin's advice, you would need to cre ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to set variables from script task

  Hi, I have a SSIS package that copies a file from one location and puts in in another with a datetime suffix on the end. This works fine in the script task. I've then added some additional code to the script task to set a variable with this new file location. The variable value gets set in the code, as I have a messagebox displaying the value, but doesn't get set to pass to the next step.
