• SQL Server is SSIS wonderful?

  Hi guys, I'm using sql 2000 now but eventually will upgrade existing server to sql 2005. currently we only have OLTP dbs. I would like to set up data warehouse & OLAP functionality to drive reporting from the system, is SSIS the product I need can you please give me the suggestions regards 1000 posts here we go - oh wait it's only my 135th post Anyways - it s more complicated than update existing (update myTable FROM anotherTable) ----> Data Flow (to insert new records) ----> Execute SQL task (delete old) You need to determine which are new (lookup) - then which are changed (split) [referencing Jaime's article about SSIS - find columns in table A which are not in ...Show All

• SQL Server Automatically adding records to child table when record added to parent table

  In SQL Server 2000, I have a parent table with a cascade update to a child table. I want to add a record to the child table whenever I add a table to the parent table.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vertical Text Alignment in Textblock -- Dynamic Sizing

  Is there a way to align text vertically (i.e. centered) inside a textblock It seems that it defaults to aligning to the top, and I can't seem to find a way to change it. Thanks in advance! Following up on this issue (I did make the transition to Buttons), I have been trying to allow them to size themselves to fill the space. Given my constraints of: The # of rows & cols are not known until runtime, The buttons must placed in the grid at the initialization of the program, and The grid may need to be re-generated multiple times during runtime, I have found it very difficult to do so. My problem is that the grid is not actually sized to the parent object (it appears) until it is ...Show All

• Visual Basic Define Class?

  I dont know if thats the right thing to say or not being I'm still green, but If I had a calculation that I needed to do often, is there a way t o make that (Public(Dont know if thats right or not)) I am wanting not to have to type the calculation over and over just wanting to put it in one place and refer to it if possible. Then how would you call it Davids Learning Or you can use a module and method in VB Module Calculator Public Function Add(ByVal val1 As Integer, ByVal val2 As Integer) As Integer Return val1 + val2 End Function End Module The important thing is that you create a method (function) which allows you to reuse the functionality by simp ...Show All

• Visual Basic Displaying a Label that shows a PictureBox behind it

  I have a VB 6 app I'm converting to VB 2005. It displays a series of JPG files in a PictureBox, and three labels. In the old application, the letters on the labels float over the image background because the labels' BackStyle was Transparent. But in the new version the labels (with a transparent BackColor) appear in a rectangle whose color is the BackColor of the underlying form. What's the secret to making the picture-box rather than the form appear behind the label text > A transparent control shows the colour of its parent That did the trick for displaying the background image. > You will probably have to reposition it after changing its parent True; the labels now sit inside the im ...Show All

• SQL Server Transact-SQL Common Features?????

  Hi The white paper which compares SQL Express and SQL Compact says that they both share Common Features Can someone please indicate if SQL Compact will support functions like Average, STDEv etc Thanks Touraj SQL CE was developed from SQL Mobile which did not have STDev as part of the implementation. If I remember correctly STDev was a function added in SQL Server 7. It is not a SQL92 or SQL99 function. So I would guess the answer would be along the lines that they had not decided to add the function. SQL Server 2005 has many additional non standard functions added to make life easier for the developers. It would not be difficult to write your own standard deviation function in Visual Bas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Check out files from VSS

  Let's say I want to use visual studio to interact with VSS 8 for the first time. Questions: 1. How do I set it up the first time A solution already exist in the database. Please be specific on steps. 2. How do I resolve solution versions If i am using VS 2003 and the solution file in the database is VS2005 Thank you. In 2003, you'd use File -> Source Control -> Open From Source Control. In 2005 you'd use File -> Open -> select the VSS database icon. If the solution file has already been upgraded to 2005, I'm afraid you're out of luck -- 2003 will not open it. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Validator prevents compile of Activity Library

  I've been reading the book "Essential Windows Workflow Foundation" by Dharma Shukla and Bob Schmidt. I have downloaded the code used in the book and attempting to add an activity to the library. One of the activities has a Validator attribute and when I compile, it seems to run the validation. Why would it do this when I do not have a workflow in the project anywhere How can I just compile the library without running the validator Does it make sense to do so Here are a couple of lines showing the Validator attribute: [ActivityValidator(typeof(PickValidator))] public class Pick : CompositeActivity { } The error I am getting comes from the validator: Activity 'Pick' validation failed: At least one child of Pick must not ca ...Show All

• Visual C++ AfxMessageBox() Captions are truncated to 8 characters. Why?

  We recently moved to VS2005, MFC8. We've noticed that MessageBoxes with greater than 8 characters are now being trucated: eg: ThisIsMyLongCaption // showed in previous MFC versions ThisIs~1 // now shows in MFC8 Is there a compiler option or something that allows the entire caption to show Thanks, -Hedley Yes, we are aware that we could change all of these to MessageBox() but we're trying not to go that way if we don't have to. We have some users who are aware of any little changes like this and call tech support immediately when they spot them. In reality it's not a huge deal, it's just odd that it changed when we went to 2005. ...Show All
