• SQL Server cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode

  I keep getting the error message below when attempting to import a text file (flat file) to an SQL Server Destination using SSIS. This database has recently been migrated from SQL Server 2000 (where I used a DTS Package that worked fine). I plan on doing further manipulation to the file after importing but have so far tried to keep one step at a time. I have tried using a smaller files and different tables but still get a similar response. I believe that the encoding of the text file is ANSI. If it is relevant the database collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS (the same as it was when 2000). Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated!!!

• SQL Server Help with Distinct SQL Statement

  I'm trying to return a select statement with distinct values. I have 3 tables: Documents, DocumentAuthors and the linking table DocumentAuthorsRel. Since a document can have multiple authors, the DocumentAuthorsRel table holds the DocumentID and DocumentAuthorID values. I simply want to run a query which displays a list of all the document titles (no document title should be repeated, i only want to show the title once, distinct) held in the documents table, and with the document title, show the last names of a documents author(s). This is the statement Im using which is returning duplicated document titles (as a result of a document having multiple authors - found in the DocumentAuthorsRel table) SELECT Documents.DocumentID ...Show All

• .NET Development Impersonation fails when running a web app within the ASP.NET Development Server (VS 2005 SP1)

  I am attempting to create a COM+ object, that is located on a remote server.  Before creating the COM+ object, the code uses WindowsIdentity.Impersonate to impersonate an account that has rights to create the COM+ object.  The code works perfectly, when running under IIS. But fails, with an "Access Denied" HRESULT, when creating the COM+ object, when run by the ASP.NET Development Server. The WindowsIdentity.Impersonate call returns successfully and a call to WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name returns the name of the impersonated account. The server's security event log showed that the my logon account information was being used to create the COM+ object -- instead of the impersonated account information.  ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Question about concurrency and sessions

  Hello. I've been trying to understand the interdependencies between: SessionMode, InstanceContextMode, ConcurrencyMode and the used binding. I’ve done a systematic test where I issue two concurrent asynchronous calls over the same channel, and observed the following: With SessionMode=NotAllowed the calls are processed concurrently, independently of the InstanceContextMode (PerCall or PerSession), of the ConcurrencyMode and of the binding (NetTcpBinding throws an exception). This is ok because every call is handled by a different instance. With SessionMode=Required and InstanceContextMode=PerSession and ConcurrencyMode=Single, the calls are processed sequentially. This is ok because the instance is always ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Combo in Grid with Incremental Searching

  Hi all I know we can put a combo into a grid and seen in a previous thread a link to Marcia's example on her web site ( http://www.tightlinecomputers.com/Downloads.htm ). However, whenever I put a combo into a grid, the incremental search (based on the interactive change) never works. I can post my code, but just need to know if I'm flogging a dead horse or not. Thanks Hello Peter. Peter Dorotiak wrote: Never really thought the incremental search for Combo's was any good. In the grid, you have to set the typing delay and it is poor. If didn't work very well. I would like the validation on the combo itself so it only lets you type what is in the combo. Well, if ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can convert Winforms to WPF

  I haven't used WPF yet, so I apologize in advance if these are stupid questions. Is there a way to convert Winforms application to a WPF application Is there any ability to interoperate between Winforms and WPF Thanks! > Is there a way to convert Winforms application to a WPF application No. Those two UI platforms are very different and there is no app which converts a WinForms app to a WPF app. Of course, this will not prevent you from reusing any business/DAL/logging/Ioc/etc libraries you use in WinForms. > Is there any ability to interoperate between Winforms and WPF Yes.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I protect my code when distributing it?

  Having read the FAQ. I noticed that in order to share your game creations (and lets face it, you can't get recognised without sharing your games), you need to send the other person the entire uncompiled game. This includes sourcecode, graphics, music, sound etc. etc. They then compile the code and download it to their xbox360 account and then only if they too are on the games creation program. My key worry here is that you send them everything you have just worked incredibly hard to create. Presumably they can then send this stuff on to whoever they please and god forbid, even sell it on! It strikes me that there isn't much incentive to distribute things this way. How is Microsoft going to prevent the above scenario Is there going to be a ...Show All
