• SQL Server running ssis package with a remote sql agent?

  hi all, thanks for the valuable information all the time!!! saved me a lot of time... our team developes a system for text data improvement using ssis . we have a few heavy packages that we want to execute on two separate "SSIS servers" that will be dedicated to runnung these packages only, and repeatedly. the main sql server will be placed on a different server machine . my question is: what is the best way to do this if we schedule these packages as a job of the Sql Ajent- does that mean that the packages will be executed on the sql server machine (which is not what we want) or could we define a remote machine to run the package on, and specify our "SSIS servers" or- should we use a simple scedua ...Show All

• Windows Forms Control the creation docked objects

  Hello, I want to create several buttons within another panel. These created buttons are used for a tuchscreen app. Each Button reveices a DockStyle TOP. The problem is that the second created button comes above th first, and the thrid above the second. As the buttons are dynamically generated from a query i just can reverse my ordering and it works.

• Visual Studio Express Editions using api in vb.net

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data installs

  I have an app that installs in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data + Program files dir/. what would be a good solution for me not to have 2 different program installs for 2 different OS.. XP & Vista.. You shouldn't hard-code paths like that. Not only will your code fail on different versions of the OS, you'll also fail on different language versions of the same OS (e.g., French Windows XP does not have a "Documents and Settings" folder), and on systems where the users' folders are not on C: (roaming profiles, profiles on a different local hard drive, etc.). Search MSDN for the term "CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA" for references on how to install to that location in a portable manner. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to set the line style when using ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine

  ControlPaint.DrawReversibleFrame lets you set a frame style (Dashed, Thick, etc) but ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine only draws a plain, ordinary line. Is there a way to draw a reversible line with different styles Thanks in Advance This thread suggests that it is more efficient to invalidate the control to draw a selection frame than to use a reversible line -- not very good advice unless your user has a fast computer and a newer graphics card. A better approach is to define your own line style and draw it yourself! The decision to leave the ROP out of GDI+ is still a questionable choice IMHO :-) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development x509Certificate(filename) constructor missing

  Hi, Using the full framework I am easily able to check the cert that was used to sign an assembly.

• SQL Server Problems Creating Report

  Hi, I have only recently started playing around with Reporting Services (2005), and I am having some problems creating a basic report. What I want to display is a table which shows product names in the first column, sales for a specific period this year in the second column, and sales for the same period last year in the third column. The 'specific period' is determined by specifying a start week and an end week which I have set up as parameters. I have managed to produce the first 2 column with no trouble. However, for the third column I need to subtract 52 weeks from the parameters and use them as new parameter in the third column. Can anyone offer any suggestions Dave Ok, I man ...Show All

• Visual C++ vector::resize causes floating point exception

  Hello, I'm hoping for a reality check here. The following program generates a floating point exception in the vector::resize call. I compiled it under VC 2005 using the command line in the comment below. I've disassembled the executable and found that vector::resize creates a default Point object which is then copied to the new empty elements at the end of the vector. But note that the Point constructor doesn't initialize the x and y members. This means the bits are garbage, and vector::resize will copy the garbage to the new elements. This is no biggie because I don't use the uninitialized elements. However, the problem is that the compiler uses the floating point processor to copy the doubles. Whe ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums WER Code Signing Requirement

  Hello, Recently I discovered that the Microsoft Windows Error Reporting program is open to all developers free of charge if two requirements (more or less were met). The first requirement was that upon signing up for the program, the candidate company must send a unique Verisign certificate that represent's their organization's identity (about $100). The second requirement was that the application to be submitted to Microsoft for WER must also have a Microsoft Authenticode signature also provided by Verisign (for about $400). My only question that I have is whether I could go with some other signing authority who participates in the Authenticode code signing program (Thawte for instance), and still participate in the Windows Error ...Show All
