• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I get results from string formatted formula?

  How can I get results from string formatted formula EX)Dim ExampleFormula as string = "((6/2)*5)+2-3+1" Then how can I get results from that string formatted formula I've tried it manually by referencing Java Stack Calculator source, but it was much harder than what I'd thought. Is there any easier way to get it done (such like data parsing) or better example source based on VB Express If you just want to evaluate math forumulas, see http://mmofx.com/codedetails.aspx A=402 . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WorkingFolder.LocalItem is null in uncloaked path

  I have a version control app that has worked for many months. Recently two users have consistantly experienced issues that I can not replicate. The problem is that the localitem property is null in an uncloaked path. Here's the code: WorkingFolder[] workFolders = this.workSpace.Folders; foreach (WorkingFolder workFolder in workFolders) { if (workFolder.LocalItem.ToLower().Equals(localPath.ToLower())) { serverPath = workFolder.ServerItem; } } Can anyone point out what I'm missing ++alan How do you know it's an uncloaked path You're not checking the Type property for == WorkingFolderType.Map, so it seems like you could be hitting cloaks as well. If you want to have null local items be fine, I'd recommend ch ...Show All

• SQL Server date parmeter converts into drop down

  I am working in SSRS 2005. I have three parameters on the reports Parmeter 1 is Date filter which is drop down and values are MTD,QTD,YTD... 2nd and 3rd parameters are fromdate and todate which are datetime parameters. When user select let's say MTD from parameter1 then i have Stored procedure which populate the fromdate paramter with 1st date of the month and, todate populate the todays's date.

The value i am passing to these parameters are datetime type( Now() ) .Still the date parameters controls are showing as dropdown. I don't know how to hand ...Show All

• SQL Server Programmatically Data Conversion component creation

  Hi there, I have created a package which simply imports data from a flat file to a SQL Server table. But I need to incorporate a data conversion component by which I may change the source-destination column mapping programmatically. So what I thought that I need to add a data conversion component into the dataflow task. After adding this component (I found its component id as {C3BF62C8-7C5C-4F85-83C3-E0B6F6BE267C} ) I have created a path which establishes the mapping between output columns of source component and the input columns of data conversion component. Now I am not sure how to establish the mapping between the data conversion component’s input column collection and output column collection. I am giving my code snippet her ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Find the Handle of a Foreground Window Even if it's Not Active

  I am trying to get the handle of whatever window happens to be in the "foreground" regardless of whether it has the focus. Basically, I'm looking for whatever window that is on the top. I've tried the PInvoke GetForegroundWindow function, but that only seems to return the correct foreground window if it has the focus. Any help or ideas of how to pull this off in VB .Net 2005 would be greatly appreciated have you tried using the FindWindow API http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32/FindWindow.html you need to give it the exact (case sensitive) window title you are after ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot Debug in VS2005

  I cannot launch the debugger in VS2005. I have a solution with numerous projects (1 C#, the rest VB). Whenever I run the solution and hit a break point, I get a message saying that Visual Studio has encountered an internal error. I have sent multiple error reports to Microsoft about this. This also happens when I just try and single step into the solution. Everything in the solutions builds fine and runs fine, until I try and use the debugger. I am running Windows XP (SP2) with a dual-core processor. I read some posts online that recommend setting up your startpage and I did that. I also set the project to run on x86 CPU and I am still having the same issue. Another developer in my environment can debug the exact same solution and the prim ...Show All

• SQL Server Using variables in a data reader source

  Greetings SSIS friends, I have tried using a sql command for my data reader source. I added the following expression to my datareader source : "select * from result where result_id > " + @[max_result_id] but I get the following error message : The SQL command has not been set correctly. Check SQLCommand property. I then got rid of the variable (defined at package level) and replaced it with a string like so : "select * from result where result_id > " + "123456" but I still get the same error message! What am I doing wrong ! Please advise. Is @[max_result_id] variable string type (I guess it is as the expression evaluates correctly; but just in case) ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS2005 - Binary Checkin speed issues

  When checking in big binary files like pdb and lib with sizes above 6 MB (limit not tested) there is a significant speed reduction. Example: I copy one of two similiar files as tmptest.lib, size is ~12MB . File options in VSS are set to binary, no autodetection of unicode. When checking in with VSS2005 (ss or ssexp), it takes 720 seconds . If I do the same with VSS6.0d , it's 2 seconds . In both cases cpu util is 100% all the time. VSS6 and VSS2005 are installed on the same machine. VSS2005 checkin was tested also direct on server with local database path - no difference. Richard, there is a bug in VSS2005 which manifests exactly as C. Hoffman described. We have the fix for it (I think it was checked in ...Show All

• SQL Server Could not Authenticate with SQL Server

  Here's my situation and I've spent enough time to troubleshoot. Any help would be appreciated. 1) I have a VB.NET Windows Form Application that uses SQL Server Express 2005 database. 2) The "mdf" file is a part of the application itself. 3) When the application distributed to my clients using Windows XP SP2, the "Click Once" installer automatically installs SQL Server 2005 Express [which is a pre-requisite] and copies this mdf file into the application folder. 4) The authentication mode is "Windows Integrated" The problem is, when the application is launched [while logged in as the local system administrator in a given computer], it is unable to connect to the SQL Server.
