• .NET Development Manipulating DataTables

  I have a filled datatable that I want to copy the column names to so I can manipulate the first datatable and store in the second. The problem is that I make a new one after filling the first one with my data, but when I set the second on equal to the first one, I change data in one and it changes it in the other. Would making an array be the answer to my problems I just thougth that working with two of the same objects would be easier. I'm not updating my database at all, I'm just pulling data and then displaying it. My data is 5 minute data that is being populated 15 mins ahead of time. Sometimes I will have a value in the current 5 minute interval and sometimes I won't. I need to place the last value in the current value's place ...Show All

• SQL Server Check the sql server service account

  Hello! I would need to check the name of the sql server service account from inside TSQL. I had one idea about reading from the sysprocesses system table, but that only gives me information about the SQL Server Agent service account. Are there other ways (It has to work for both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.) Best regards Ola Hallengren There is an undocmented approach using 'registry key reading' in SQL Server 2000 version: xp_regread @rootkey='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', @key='SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SQLServerAgent', @value_name='ObjectName' I'm working onSQL 2005 and will post here once it is successful. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Regarding ERRORLEVELS

  Hi Frenz, I wanted to know if i can get ERRORLEVEL using what i am trying to do. set test=0 :A ss History -I-Y -R -V1~2 -OD:/History.txt IF %ERRORLEVEL%==%test% (GOTO END) ELSE GOTO A :END What happens is that i get a version not found even though the version is present and ERRORLEVEL value as 0.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Loadpicture in Mail Merge

  I have an excel spreadsheet which I am merging into a Word Mail Merge. I am creating documents which show text from the spreadsheet and a digital photo. I am interested in using LoadPicture or a similar function to load the photo on each page. The spreadsheet has the full path to the image file. Can anyone help me identify if this is possible in a mail merge Does anyone have code to accomplish this Thanks clark Hi clark I take it this isn't part of a VSTO solution, more a Word object model question In that case, the better place to ask this would be an office or word newsgroup, of which there are several possibilities: Word · General programming issues : word.vba.general ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista security of PPI

  How secure is the Private Personal Identifier (PPI) of a self-issued InfoCard Anyone who knows the PPI can use it to clone a new card and steal my identity. Let's say I make a self-issued card and lock it with a PIN so nobody else can use it. Can the PPI of a locked InfoCard be learned by examining the contents of the CardSpace database file (CradSpace.db) If not, then can the PPI be derived from the contents of an exported backup (.crds) file Thanks Caleb, exactly the information I was looking for. However, I'd say that's not "just" a second line of defense -- just about anyone with physical access to the PC can generate (and of course decrypt, since they are choosing the password) an export fil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System DLL environment isssues

  I'm looking for an article or some information that may help me plan how to set up my build server environment. Several of my projects will potentially require access to various dll's belonging to installed software. I am assuming that this software needs to be installed on the build server so that the dll's are correctly registered and located on the build server. Basically, the same environment that the developer's are using needs to be set up on the build server. However, sometimes developers will be using different versions of the same software creating different environment set-ups that may be mutually exclusive. In this case, will I need to create several virtual machines with their own build servers running to cover each envir ...Show All
