• Visual Studio Team System postbuild event

  Hi, Would it be possible to add a postbuild event feature to the database project I have a scenario where I would like to run aspnet_regsql.exe utility to install/merge the ASP.NET 2.0 services database into the database that I am building with VSTS-DB. I basically want to avoid creating the ASP.NET services db schema by hand (or even importing .sql files) -- I'd rather run their tool and point it at the database created by the build. The postbuild event could provide some macros (e.g. Target database name, connection string, etc) that I can then use as command-line switches to aspnet_reqsql.exe. Thanks, Vitaly Hi Gert, That's great news -- keep up the awesome work! Out of curiosity, ...Show All

• .NET Development ?? in regex

  Hi, while looking for a pattern to find repetitive patterns, e.g.: string = " 999 888 777 " should match "999 888 777" (note should not match the spaces following the last pattern) I tried the following ((\d)\2\2 * )+ expecting the * to minimize the match at the end but it does not work. Instead, I get 3 individual matches. Can anyone explain it Thanks Not sure if it helps but for the string "123 456 789    " the regex ([\d\s]*\d) will match "123 456 789"... this is because (as I see it) the expression looks for any combination of whitespace (\s) or digits (\d) terminated by a digit. Because * is greedy it will get as many whitespace chars/digits as it can. To cut off leading ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLServer 2005 JDBC Driver - Date rendered correctly on local environment(windows), but not on Websphere server (unix)

  Hi, We are trying to move our application from SQL2005 to SQL2005, we are using 2005 jdbc driver 1.1. The problem we have is, when a date is retrieved from the database, only the year part got correctly, but the date is automatically set to January 1 of that year. The interesting thing is this problem doesn't occur on local development environment (developer's windows platform), it only happens when we deploy the application to production server (unix). Does anyone know what is going on, how to fix it Thanks. Cathie Hi all, Thank you for your feedback and patience on this issue. We will be issuing a hotfix to the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.1 to address this issue by ...Show All

• Visual C++ 24Bits Bit-field Alignment error under VC++

• .NET Development Datasets and SQL Server

  I'm currently working on a application in VB.NET 2003, with a SQL Server backend. I was asked to make an import function that would allow a user to import an Excel worksheet into SQL Server. I'm aware you can do it from Excel directly to SQL Server, but the clients would like something that wouldn't involve the users of this application touching the SQL Server. I'm using an OLEDB for the Excel connection, and a ODBC connection for the SQL Server connection. Next, I have a button event that would open up a OpenFileDialog window, and a user can choose an Excel sheet. If the Excel sheet is valid, it would go on extracting the data into a dataset: ds = New DataSet ds.Clear() strSQL = "Select HEAT, Practice, C, Mn, P, S, Si, Cu, ...Show All

• Windows Forms tabpage control navigation is not refreshing the panels quick enough.

  I need to redesign my tabcontrol that contains tabpages to which have been added a user control. When I click on each tabpage, it takes a second to load the usercontrol and see it displayed. The usercontrol has two splitcontainers which are nested on either side of another splitcontainer. The resulting 4 areas contain panels which are the drawing containers that are added each time dynamically as per below. Is it possible to add the usercontrol to each tabpage on form load. Is there a way to "refresh" or show each tabpage when the user clicks on each subsequent tabcontrol rather than adding it each time   Select Case TabControlLeft.SelectedIndex             Case 0   ...Show All

• Visual Studio how to combine two VSS DBs into one?

  I have successfully moved one VSS db to a new server, but now I have to add a second db to the same new location so the two separate dbs become one. The simple idea of just having two instances of VSS running with one db open in each and then dragging one to the other didn't work. What's the best way to do this TIA, Skugga If you simply want to combine the contents of two DBs, you can Get the root project from one DB and add those files into a project on the 2nd DB. However, if you want to maintain all of the change history as well, I can't think of a good way. You'd need to find or write a VSS -> VSS converter tool; I don't know of any. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions SplitContainer docking problem

  I'm having a problem using the split container control. I add a SplitContainer to a new form, set the orientation to horizontal, and set the dock to fill. Then I add a listbox to either panel and set the dock to fill. When I resize the split container, it looks like the listbox isn't resizing exactly with the split container, but it's snapping on and off, a few pixels away from the edge. I came across some code to put in the Mousemove and MouseDown events, but that just makes it flicker. Has anyone else run across this problem You're right. I was sitting here thinking it was some sort of bug and no one else noticed it. It seems so obvious. Thanks for the help. ...Show All
