• SQL Server RECEIVING from QUEUE by ConversationHandle

  Is it possible to receive from a queue by a conversation handle In the documentation there is an example that show you how to do it. Yet, if you "read" the whole document it says that the conversation handle can not be an expression. The WHERE clause of the RECEIVE statement may only contain search conditions that use conversation_handle or conversation_group_id . The search condition may not contain any of the other columns in the queue. The conversation_handle or conversation_group_id may not be an expression. Here is what I'm trying to do: ; RECEIVE TOP ( 1 ) @MsgBody = CAST ( message_body as XML ) FROM ProcessingLetters WHERE conversation_handle = @Conversation_Handle It doesn't seem to mat ...Show All

• .NET Development ProcessStartInfo ENVIRONMENT & UseShellExecute

  I am setting UseShellExecute = false in order to redirect stderr and stdout. This flag then tells Process.Start()  NOT TO USE the cmd shell to launch the process. However I am seeing that it (UseShellExecute = false) also has the side effect ignoring any environment varibales that are set in  the ProcessStartInfo (psi)  variable associated with this process. I understand that it will IGNORE psi.WorkingDirectory, the documentation says that.  I was hoping if I set PATH using psi.Environment.Add("PATH","C:\somedir") that when the process is launched would look in "somdir" when launched and I would not have to explicity set the path to "C:\somdir\myprocess.exe" in order to execute it. I guess I am askin ...Show All

• SQL Server Lookup transformation using effective dates

  Hi, I need to perform a lookup based on a business key and a date in the source that must be between an effective from and effective to date in the reference table. I've been able to achieve this by updating the SQL caching command on the advanced tab but the performance is very slow. I have 6 lookups of this type in the data flow with a source SQL statement that returns approx 1 million rows and this package takes over 90 minutes to run. The caching SQL command now looks like this select * from (select * from [ReferenceTable]) as refTable where [refTable].[Key] = and BETWEEN [refTable].[StartDate] AND [refTable].[EndDate] and I've set up the parameters so that the business key is the first parameter and the source date is the ...Show All

• Visual C# error message: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field ....

  I am getting the error 'An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property ' when I attempt to run my client application. I am not sure what is wrong and the documentation on this error (#CS0120) in the VS.NET IDE is confusing to me. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong MY code is below. People is a collection class and myPeople is obviously an instance of it. Because the error appears to involve the client code and not the class library with the implementation of People, I did not include that code. I could if it would be helpful.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug? InvokeWorkFlow activity used with Sequential Workflow hosted in Console App

  I've been experimenting with InvokeWorkFlow activity and found what I think might be a bug with the logic in hosting code for the console app.  In the Main method, the WF runtime is instantiated and the started passing in the type for WorkFlow1.  Before it starts the workflow however it wires up a handler for the WorkflowCompleted event that when called sets a AutoResetEvent which the main thread uses to terminate the WF runtime and end the app.  So here's the problem.  I have a workflow that uses InvokeWorkflow activities to invoke 3 separate workflows that I want to run asynchronously.  However, after calling the InvokeWorkflow activities, the Workflow1 sequence ends firing the WorkflowCompleted event.  Thi ...Show All
