• Community Chat VB.NET

  please does anyone know how to create a non visual class that has the behaviour to count characters, words, alphabets, vowels, consonants, digits thanks We have a thing on these forums, when we see a question which is obviously a homework assignment. We will answer specific problems/questions related to the problem but would not simply do you complete assignment for you. It is often best to show us your code so we can help you where possible but we do not send out complete homework assignments. So if you have a specific issue then ask the question, but homework assignments are designed to test you understanding and knowledge of the subject being taught.

• Visual Studio Team System Create work items using TFS API?

  Hi, I'm trying to import all of our bugs from Bugzilla to TFS. I'm able to pull the data out of Bugzilla's MySQL DB just fine using C#, but how do I use the TFS API to import these bugs I downloaded the TFS SDK and read through some samples, but they seem overly complicated. Can someone please post a very simple example in C# on how to create one work item Bug in TFS I can then take it from there. I need to be referencing Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client correct Thanks, Ethan Thanks. Now I am getting this exception on the workItem.Save() line: TF26201: This work item has unsupported fields, or user does not have permissions. I am assuming that this h ...Show All

• SQL Server Row Number Assigned Via RunningValue But Without Grouping

  I have a report where certain columns have values that get repeated, but the client has a rigid requirement for not wanting these columns as groups in the reports (other programs and exports doing specific tasks with those values). In these reports, the "hide duplicates" value is checked, so as to give an aesthetic sense of grouping. The data for the report, in raw form is: Value 1 A Value 1 B Value 1 C Value 2 D Value 2 E Value 2 F Value 3 G Value 3 H etc... In its aesthetic form, it is: Value 1 A B C Value 2 D E F Value 3 G ...Show All

• SQL Server Truncation error when importing from ODBC to flat file

  I am having problems reading from and ODBC conncetion from Oracle RDB into SSIS. I am using a DataReader source which uses a ADO.NET odbc connection to an oracle RDB database. I am having that write to a flat file. When I read integers from the source, it works just fine. When I read character data (char(48) for example), it gives me trucation errors. Is the DataReader source capable of reading char data from an odbc connection Here is the errors I receive: SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.

• SQL Server WROX Code Problem

  Hi, I'm pretty new to SSRS and VB.NET and was hoping someone might be able to help me understand why the following code fails when the click event outlined below is fired. The line highlighted in Red is the problem area and when this is commented out the event executes successfully. I've also downloaded the C# version of the code from the WROX site and this also fails. The code snipet relates to the windows application "RenderingVB" in Chapter 12 of their Professional SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services book. I've tried the WROX forum but there isn't a great deal of activity. Any help would be much appreciated.

• SQL Server SQL Express XCopy deployment under Vista

  We are in the process of converting our MSDE-enabled products to using SQL Express for compatability with Vista . With help from the msdn article at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx I've been able to create a test install that works fine under XP, but fails under Vista . We have our application installing under the "Program Files" directory, and are copying the database's MDF file into the same directory. We are using AttachDbFileName to connect to the database and under XP the LDF file is created fine. Under Vista we receive an error that the database cannot be attached and I've noticed that the LDF file is not being created. I was receiving the exact same error under XP until I removed the LDF f ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible Bug with absolute position & ScrollView

  I have a grid (g_big), hosted within a ScrollView. The grid has a child grid (g_small), positioned using its margin: g_small.Margin = new Thinkness(..); If GridView is resized so g_small is partly hidden, when I click on g_small it voluntary changes its absolute position. It looks like it tries to bring itself into the view. I wonder is that a bug or futures, in if former is true how do I fix it Thanks.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XACT audio sounds cutting out

  Hi all, I have a static class I'm using to play sounds loaded in the content pipeline through an xact audio project. In my game, several of the same sound can be played within a few milliseconds of each other. They're basically explosion sounds. Now when I hit more than three of these objects and they play their sound within a short space of time, the sounds cut each other out and sometimes don't play at all which is very poor. I'm not limiting instances in the audio project although I've tried every permutation of this I can think of anyway. I know about the garbage collection issue when using cue objects that aren't referenced etc. but I'm actually just using soundbank.playsound and not getting the cue object at all. ...Show All
