• Windows Forms What process locks the file?

  Hello, This is probably a newbie question. In my C# program, when I try to delete a file, I get an exception that the file is locked by another process. I would like to terminate the process that locks the file. How can I determine what process has a lock on a file, just based on the file path If you have an example in .NET, that would be super, but if you could explain it in Windows API terms, that will do as well. Thanks for your help! Evgueni PS. I have to be able to solve this programmatically -- sysinternals' tools cannot be used They've spent untold hours reverse-engineering the undocumented format of the kernel object tables. Give them a call, maybe they'll share this insight with you. Hehe... ...Show All

• .NET Development Save DataTable to new Databasefile

  Hello, Im using the OleDbDataAdapter to fill a DataTable from a .mde-file. Using the same adapter I can easily update my .mde file with the changed data. Now I was trying to do something new: I want to save my DataTable into another .mde-file. As far as I can see there will be trouble because only changes are saved. And another problem comes when I want to create a new .mde-file - I have no idea how to do this. In fact I'm searching for something like an export-to-.mde function for my DataTable (what about the WriteXML Perhaps this would be a starting point ). I already searched for a long time in the MSDN-help and other websites, but couldnt find anything... Here is a guide how to create a new mdb file - ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to turn off the prompt for Active Content?

  Hello, I have a page in my local drive that uses Active Content. But every time I refresh it, it pops up a window asking me whether I want to run it or not. What should I do I want to refresh my page without the warning pops up every time. Thank you very much. Yeah, I am using HTA in the end, which is very nice. For your concern, just fix the script. The pop-up message is a good way to tell you that your program has bugs, fix it, no compromise. If I can't be fixed, try converting it to VBScript and see if you get the same error. Sometimes the languages is limited, so you need to use other language to get around it. Like my code are all done in VBScript, but I still have a piece of JavaScript because ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Count and display in cell

  Ok I have an Excel workbook that contains a schedule (51 worksheets total). Each cell has intials in it and if that person has taken a day off the cell is highlighted a certain color (yellow, rose, or red). What I need to do is have something that goes through and counts what intials have what color and then display in a cell the number. So: If cell contains "initials" and cell color is "color" Then count and display in "cell" Example: If cell contains "JJ" and cell color is "Yellow" Then count and display in "A2" I know it is possible to do this but I'm not sure how.

• Windows Forms Tooltip component to have TTS_CLOSE...

  Any way to pass TTS_CLOSE to the Tooltip component so that it will have a 'close window'... I am aware of the contents in that link. My question is aimed at the Tooltip component that comes with .Net 2.0 framework. Currently am using the code in the link that you have mentioned.

• .NET Development Serialization Question

  I have a question on serialization that web services do. I have created an object that serializes fine over a web service call, but I have noticed some things and want to know what is up. It appears that functions of my object do not go with to the client, is this supposed to happen It appears properties don't serialize unless they have both a get and a set Am I going crazy or is this just how things are The only members of your object that will be serialized are those needed to deserialize the object and recreate a copy with the same instance data elsewhere. Since the member functions aren't needed to do this they aren't serialized. Same goes for read-only properties, since there's no wa ...Show All

There is no concept of row numbers in the SSIS pipeline (for good reasons). What you CAN do is divert the erroring rows elsewhere for examination later. -Jamie ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS, BIDS and Temporary files

  Why are some SSIS files, generated by the Import/Export Data wizard put into the local users temp folder Why are these not compiled with the package when the solution is built Is there some setting I am missing This architecture is kind of silly, as the server always needs access to the temp folder on the local machine to run. How can I get these temp files packaged with the rest of the package and deployed to the server so the server can run independent of the machine I develop the package on Thanks, Jeff Awesome, thanks jeagd. Question though...is there a way to tell the wizard to not even use files at all To just use a SQL task Thanks, Jeff ...Show All
