• SQL Server Capture errors from SSIS Execute Process Task

  I have an Execute Process Task within my package that executes a BCP command which outputs the resultset of a query to a file in the network share. It works fine most of the time, however sometimes for unknown reasons, the following error message gets logged in my log table - In Executing "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\bcp.exe" "Select Comments, SoldToCustomerNbr, ProductGroupingCode, ProductGroupingName, RevSumCategoryCode, RevSumCategoryName, ValidFromDate, DTSCollectPct, DTSPrepaidPct, DTSPickUpPct, DCCollectPct, DCPrepaidPct, DCPickUpPct From ShipmentTypeCustomerBlend" queryout \\xxx\LOG\ShipmentTypeCustomerBlendLog_060719201440.txt -c -t"\t" -SDummyServer -T -e"d:\SSIS Error ...Show All

• .NET Development socket errors over VPN

  Hi there! We have a client / server control system. Remote Clients talk to the server using windows sockets. All works fine over a LAN, but fails over a VPN or a dialup. In the latter case communications work for a while, then a message is lost (response does not come back or is corrupted), and things fail. I noticed that if I lower the max. size of our messages from 64k to 1K things improve a bit, but then things get really slow because of many trips to the server and back. Anybody have any clue why this is happening The code is written in C++, I am using socket library version 2.0, Windows XP SP2 + all latest updates. Socket routines were implemented using the WSA functions (WSAInit(), WSARecv(), etc). In dialup case machi ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting to Local Database after Application Install

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Should my 2D game engine use Vector2s or pairs of floats?

  I just recently changed, oh, about a 1000 lines of code in my game engine. Instead of using Vector2 for things like position and size, I decided to use floats instead. Does anyone else use Vector2's as their main position and size data types in their 2D game Right now, I have the code for both versions, and I'm trying to make entirely sure floats are the way to go before throwing one of them away. Any comments Really, I think the best way to answer this question is to ask what other 2D libraries are using out there. Considering compatibility among components, using what is most popular in other component libraries may be the most important thing to consider. Noone wants to use one component that is float-based along with anothe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions BindingManagerBase Position_Changed Problem

  Hey Everyone, I have a program that has several textboxes bound to 1 dataset which contains only one table. When the form loads, the data is displayed in the textboxes allowing the user to add, edit, delete, etc., as well as navigate through previously entered records. However, when trying to navigate through the records, it doesn't do anything. The recordCountLabel, which keeps track of the record number that is displayed, changes, but the first record stays on the screen. Here is a little of my code.

• Visual Studio Unable to open/debug a remote site from VS2005

  I am trying to set up a new testing server (running Windows Server 2003 R2) for remote debugging of my aspnet applications with Visual Studios 2005, but am encountering problems with Front Page Server Extensions. When I first try to extend the site, either through IIS (with the Configure Server Extensions 2002 task) or the Microsoft SharePoint Administrator link, the IE browser seems to hang while trying to open fpadmdll.dll from the Microsoft SharePoint Administration site which was installed with fpse. However the extension appears to have been successful since if I try again I can now access the Site Administration Page after entering the username and password. Once here, I try to create a subweb specifying the ...Show All

• Visual C# Stream does not support seek operation?

  Downloading a bunch of *.csv files I got an exception at #69 (out of total 116): "This stream does not support seek operations."} System.SystemException {System.NotSupportedException} I am wondering if anybody could comment on that. Thanks. Thank you, Tom, I cannot reproduce the error now. I download these files about every day and so far I've done it about a dozen times. Every time this routine worked well except yesterday.

• Windows Forms ToolStrip doesn't scale buttons in the overflow menu

  Hi there I use several ToolStrips in my application. They are placed in MDI-forms, which are created dynamically at runtime. The application has to adjust to the users DPI-setting. The AutoScaleMode property is fine, but as i see it, it doesn't work for the dynamically created MDIs. Because of this i scale them by myself with the Scale method. This works quite good for everything but the ToolStrip. I have several buttons inside the toolstrip, added with the ToolStripControlHost. When the form is scaled, everything resizes fine, but the toolstrip scales only the buttons that are visible (not in overflow). This is really annoying, and till now, i couldn't find a workaround. Hope someone can help me here. PS: sry, englis ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSBuild is ignoring command-line parameters

  Hello, I'm using MSBuild.exe to deploy my project. Here's the command that I am using: msbuild /t:SQLDeploy /property:ConnectionString="Data Source= BDONT3IFBSQL1 ;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False" Chevron.UpstreamSolutions.SqlServer.MinervaRepository.dbproj OK, now note the name of the server which I have highlighted .
