• SQL Server Custom Task: How to access/modify the variables of a package

  Hi, I'm trying to simplify the deployment process of my project. I already had some troubles with the config files but lets say I solved that issue. I'm going to read a flat file and set the variables of my packages from this file. I was thinking to use a Script Task to do that but I will need to copy this task in every package (I have at least 30). So if I want to make some change this will be painful. Then, I came up with the idea of creating a Custom Task called Config File Task. I'm working on this but I got stuck trying to get the variables from the package that is running my Config File Task. This is the code I had in the Script Task: Dim streamReader As New StreamReader(Dts.Variables("ConfigFilePath").Value.ToString) ...Show All

• Visual C# Line separator

  I know, can be a stupid question for the C# group in MS, but, why, the editor (via an option) can't automatically insert a separator line between methods like vb Hehe, hope that not being considered a "new comer" makes you feel good, even if you are. Although the editors for VB.NET, C# and C++ look the same in the IDE, under the hood they are based on very different chunks of code. There's stuff that the C# editor can do, like graying code this is #undef-ed that the VB editor can't do. The C++ editor can't do brace matching high-lighting. Etcetera, pretty basic stuff that doesn't work the same. The best place to go to put your feature requests on record is Product Feedback . With enough ...Show All

• Windows Forms the last checkbox that I click doest update the property to which it s bound

  Hi, I have few checboxes bound to my class properties: chk1 bound to propty1 chk2 bound to propty2 chk3 bound to propty3 .... The checkboxes are in a multi-tab child form and the child form is part of an MDI. The child form has 3 tabs. when I check off the chk1, chk2 and chk3 and I click a button on my MDI toolbar, only the previous properties propty1 and propty1 get updated but not the last checkbox that I just clicked : propty3. For propty3 to be also updated I always have to change the active tab, then go back again to the previous tab so all the properties (instead of only the first ones) get updated according to their bound checkboxes. All I do is the binding like this: myForm.chkBox1.DataBindings.Add ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can this be done?

  Hi, i have 2 pictureboxes 'A' and 'B', 'A' is a black rectangle box and 'B' is a blue circle. How do i make 'B' overlap 'A' and only the circle is show in the rectangle box without the picturebox blocking out the other details Thanks. I am not sure I fully understood your question, but it seems to boil down to creating a custom transparent control. You won't be able to do this using a regular control, as transparency is not really supported by the controls, but you can easily create your own custom control and either assign a region to it or make it transparent. There is a nice example here of the latter. HTH --mc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need help parsing tab delimited text file

  I have a tab delimited text file that has a tab as the first character of each row. In other words there is a nice neat space at the beginning of each row. I am looking for ways to remove the space but cannot find a way to go about it. I found the textfieldparser and am using it to read each line and am, in tern, writing the line to a new text file using the file system object writealltext and adding a couple of fields at the end of each line. I am new to coding in general. Any push in the right direction would be appreciated. VB Express /2005 provides you with a class specifically designer for parsing delimeted files. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x710fk43.aspx http://msdn2.mic ...Show All

• Visual Studio How can I handle Build and Run events?

  Hi there, I'm developing a custom package using MPF (VSSDK Sep 2006). I need to handle some usual events in VS: 1. Build - when user presses CTRL+SHIFT+B or Build command in the menu 2. Build & Run (aka F5) - when user presses F5 or Start Debugging command in the menu I want to handle these two events and ask my external compiler to just build the project or build it and if it's ok then run the compiled result. Can anybody advice me the appropriate solution for my task Maybe it will better to add my own menu near Debug and add 2 subitems to that menu In this case - how can I catch the CTRL+SHIFT+B and F5 shortcuts Thanks Hi Ole, Thank you for your response!

• Visual FoxPro date question

  Hi, Someone knows if there is a function or something like that in fox 7 to calculate the difference between two dates.

• SQL Server Tabular rpt detail column expression

  I have a tabular report with header, detail and footer. In the detail I have a column (allocated_fte) that I need to ‘calculate’ (not one from a dataset). The calculation looks like this: allocated_fte.value = (allocated_fte.value + ((percent*pcn_fte)/100)) When I enter this I get an error message something like: “cyclical reference to 'allocated_fte' not allowed”. How can I accumulate/calculate a column in a tabular report detail and then sum it in the group footer without being outside of scopes or having a cyclical reference 404 on this issue Can I just write all of my calculations in VB and then insrt them in the 'Code' area ...Show All

• Visual J# InterruptedIOException Not Thrown

  Unlike J++, java.net.Socket.getInputStream().read() with SoTimeout set to a value greater than 0, does not throw a java.net.InterruptedIOException when the timeout period expires. Instread, the operation throws a java.net.SocketException. E.g.: ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket (port); Socket socket = serverSocket.accept(); socket.setSoTimeout(1000); int b = socket.getInputStream().read(); SocketException: java.net.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Anyone have a code snippet to that will cause an InterruptedIoException to be thrown ...Show All

• Visual Basic null TextBoxes in Database Entry Form

  Hello, 1. The Form has TextBoxes c1,c2,c3 receiving currency and c4 which shows the totals: c4=c1+c2+c3 As it is now, an "Add New" Button_Click event initialize all the TextBoxes to "0.0". While this works, it places a burden on the user when entering data (he has to erase the "0.0" or might make a mistake say typing "1" without erasing "0.0" turning it into "10.0"). 2. How could the c4 always show some result, starting from the initial 0.0 to c4=c1 then c4=c2 c4=c3 or c4=c1+c2 or c4=c1+c3 or c4=c1+c2+c3 Thanks, You could do this prior to calculation Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ...Show All
