• Visual Basic SSH, VB.NET and Multi-threading

  I'll start with my question and a brief bio: The question is, "Can anyone assist me in multi-threading this " Bio: I'm still new to VB.NET. A while back, we had a need to create "something" that would SSH to multiple servers, run a command (or series of commands) and return the results. The code below is what I came up with. In regards to the question I posed, this app runs on a server with multiple CPUs and plenty of horsepower. The application kicks off Plink which is a command line utility that comes with Putty. Works great...but, it is slow. When I say multiple servers...I'm talking about more than 15...it executes Plink.exe, runs the command, returns the results, executes Plink.exe, runs..., ..., ...

• Visual C# runtime does not end

  Hi, I have a win form which calls a dll and do some operation. when in Debug mode, as I'm closing my form , I notice that the runtime does not end - the form disappears, but I'm not returned to "edit mode" in code for VS.Net. I think the reason is that the ojbect referenced in the dll file is still in memory and need to be cleared before the program can be really shut. Is it right Many Thanks Jerry ...Show All

• SQL Server Got BIDS working, was there another way?

  i re-installed the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE several times(4) trying to get the BIDS part to work. Each time i had the issue of it looking for the devenev.exe as others have mentioned. I gave up on a 5th install and went for the unsupported option of running vs_setup , after the toolkit.exe dumped all the install files to its temporary directory i went in there and ran it sperately... but essentially i did it the same way as this method... http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=368549&SiteID=1 while this did work, it seems to be the unsupported way. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=665067&SiteID=1 Im not opposed to going back and doing it right, but was there ever a conclusion as to why the BIDS prog ...Show All

• SQL Server If or Case Statements

  Does anyone know if there is a way to look at a value in a variable and based on that value run different Data Flow Tasks For example, let's say I have an SSIS package that contains a variable named Client and 3 separate Data Flow Tasks. I would like to do this: if Client = 1 then run Data Flow 1 else if Client = 2 then run Data Flow 2 else run Data Flow 3. Is this possible Thanks. Danielle Yeah, it's okay to provide just a link, but it is rude to hijack a thread for your own gain.... Typically if no one answers, they are either busy or don't have anything to contribute. Fair enough... apologies but desperation can drive you to do things you woulnd't do otherwise. Still, I'm not ...Show All

• .NET Development System.ServiceModel.dll no longer appears in Visual Studio's Add References dialog (.NET tab)

  I have a brand new install of the Vista RC2 Candidate and I went looking and found that this was a problem in the past. However I am not sure the fix that was posted is the proper one as it was posted sometime back in February. System.ServiceModel.dll no longer appears in Visual Studio's Add References dialog (.NET tab). Does anyone know why this behavior occurs, and what can be done about it Thanks, -ja John, Have a look at this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/wkze6zky.aspx .

• Visual Studio Express Editions Display problems for my application

  I finally got my application to work!! Now I have a problem when I load the application onto another computer. The problem is that the program does not display the same as on the computer I used to write the application. What is the problem and how can I fix it krhoover, I think there are two points you should pay more attention. The first one is the properties oof your form in the project related to show, including the size, autofix or others. The second point is the resolution of your another screen. Try to make sure they have the same resolution and if that computer has the same IDE, just rebuild it on that computer. Hope that can hepl you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System best practice for storing 3rd party libraries in version control

  Does anyone store their third-party controls and library DLLs in a shared spot in TFS version control Instead of having to install these DLLs in the GAC on the local machine, we'd like these to get checked out in their own ThirdParty folder, organized by vendor and then version. But I don't see a way to add them to source control if they're not part of a proper Visual Studio solution. Within Source Control Explorer, I don't get an option to Add New Folder. Is this possible Thanks! Dan You should definitely put all build-time dependencies under source control. I'd recommend adding run-time dependencies too. It really aids your ability to reproduce old environments exactly. In SCE, you can add a new fo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A Couple Of Worrying Points From The EULA

  i. Personal Use. Use of any programs developed for the Xbox platform using the software is restricted to your personal, non-commercial use. So what happens to this so called "YouTube of games" if the restrictions imply that we can't share them. I also thought XNA GSE also had plans for being able to sell your games over XBL too (I picked that up from somewhere). ii. Distributable Code. You are not permitted to distribute the Distributable Code for programs developed for the Xbox 360 platform. I'm unclear to what this means, it almost seems we can't give out source code, please elaborate on this. Thanks, although reading that made my eyes bleed. <Standard I'm Not a Lawer Disclaimer/ ...Show All

• SQL Server how to calculate the least anmongst a list of Quarters

  Hi, i get a list of Quarters that look like following as an input to my proc. 'Q306/Q106/Q406/Q405' I need to find out whihc one of the above is the least Quarter value. In the above example it is 'Q405' The Quarter values that come into the proc keep changing...It could be even 1 or 2 or 3 Quarters etc... Is there any datatype called Quarter in SQL Server.It shows Quarter as a key word... Can some one please help on this.... Hello, There is no "quarter" datatype in sql server. For your example, the parameter string will need to first be parsed (to split the quarters - you can use a recursive cte for this) then ordered. If you are using SQL 2005, you can also roll your own "quarter&q ...Show All
