• Visual C# Writing individual characters to a string

  Hi, I'm very new to C# so I'm getting slightly frustrated with its concept of making things read only when I think they are clearly not. Basically the routine below is part of a simple encryption system that takes a text string and turns it into another string using a mathematical formula on the ascii value of the character and this can then be reversed by another routine. Its just a test routine that I'm converting from delphi. Take the following code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace TestEncrypt { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { try { encdec test1 = new encdec (); string test = encdec .EncryptString( & ...Show All

• SQL Server Missing SSAS Diagrams

  I've created multiple SSAS diagrams and saved them back to the server. The next day, I connected to the server and the diagrams are gone. Rather than recreate all of them, I recreated one and tried saving it back to the server. I get the message stating "updating server", but when I close out and get back in the diagram is missing again. We have so many cubes we really need these so everyone can have a visualization of the structure. I even tried saving the project and reprocessing the database to no avail. Please help. Many Thanks. Scott, When you say diagrams, are you referring to diagrams within the DSV for an SSAS project Or something else Dave Fackler ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote connection to database on same PC?

  I am running the SQL express advanced on the same PC that also hosts my Visual Basic Express application. I have user instances turned off and full-text enabled and working from within a SQL query window. However, I can not create a working connection to the database using the data source wizard from the server explorer within VB.NET. Since this is on the same PC, do I need to enable anything other than shared memory I get the error: Provider SQL Network Interfaces, error 26 Error locating server/instance. DeBug Hmm, the way you use the server explorer in VB.Net Express seems to be different to the full version of Visual Studio 2005 I use. In the server explorer I see a top node "Data Connections" wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to improve Sandcastle BuildAssembler performance

  The December CTP BuildAssembler performance has been the subject of many comments. One reason for slow performance is large memory usage causing excessive page faults on systems with (e.g.) 0.5GB of RAM. This is particularly true when using the new ApplyVSDocModel.xsl transform instead of the original AddOverloads.xsl transform. For more information, see the thread:      http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1125897&SiteID=1 Eric Woodruff suggested that splitting the one large cpref_refelction.xml file into it's constuent parts would help. And indeed, testing proves that it does work. He gave a batch file to help do this. Note that the initialisation time is increased, but subsequent me ...Show All

• Windows Forms setting form size

  This seems really straightforward but I'm not having much luck. I'm trying to create a form at 8.5 x 11 but I'm not sure what the measurement of size is. I found information that listed the values at 215900 x 279400 but when I input that as the size it defaults to something else. Any ideas Thanks What unit do you want to use when you say "8.5x11" Centimeters The Size object takes two Ints, SizeF takes two Floats. The values herein are arbitrary, they can be defined in any units. The size of a Form is always defined in pixels however, as far as I know. So you're gonna want to convert your unit into pixels first. Cheers ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using a datagrid for selecting records

  Hi I wonder if anyone can help with the following scenario. I have a VB 2005 application that is using SQL Express as its database. The main form has a Tab control on it, a tab each for customers & invoices. Within the tab there is a datagrid that is displaying records from the relevant table.

• SQL Server variables in data flow OLE DB

  I'm storing a sql command (could be an SP call or simple select) that I would like to pass into the "OLE DB Source" container in my data flow task. If I choose Data Access Mode: SQL Command from variable, I get an error saying there is a data source column with no name. I've fought SSIS pretty good up to this point. I realize you need to "initialize" variables & expressions in the control flow ahead of time if you want to access them in the data flow. But I was kind of hoping that all I would need to do in this case would be pass a SQL command into a variable and access that somehow in the data flow without jumping through any hoops. Is this possible This is a great forum btw, thanks, Phil ...Show All
