  Hi, Thanks for reading and helpme out! I have create a simple client smart application that reads and shows the content of a text file. The application is correctly published and executed.

• .NET Development Substring with regex??

  This is a simple stripping MyString.substring(1,150); but I want to strip the first 150 chars and also any of the following characters if found in the first 150 chars: HTML tags carriage returns line feeds tabs Can this be done using regex and substring or just regex How can this be done I'm not an expert in using regex with c# but I am when it comes to PERL. Since however I believe that c#'s way of implementing regex is very similar to PERL's you should be able to do this using just regex through grouping. Now I'm not going to write a regex for you as I have to do work and they are a very valuable tool to know so you should read throught the documentation, you'll find examples that will show you how to ...Show All

• SQL Server Long report on one page?

  I have a very long report that I would like to appear all on one page. I want to be able to scroll from the top to the bottom without having to use the little page selector. How do I do this I got it to work for one report so I know it's possible. I just can't figure out why it works for that report and not for other reports. Thanks, Greg Van Mullem Interesting idea. I will give it a try. However, I still think there is an easire/better way. I have a long report where I did nothing special but it appears all on one page. Unfortunately I don't know what I did...

• Software Development for Windows Vista Unpleasant surprise after installing Visual Studio SP1

  Dear all, Beware of installing Visual Studio SP1 if you have Workflow Foundation Extensions for Visual Studio installed. Everything looks ok until you try to create a new workflow. At this point, the binding of activity properties to dependency properties refuses to work. None of the dependency properties appear as valid choices for binding to. Also, the workflow snippets no longer work. There is a simple solution to these woes: Run the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation setup program and Repair your installation. This is not mentioned anywhere in the VS2005 SP1 release notes. Mark - Yes - We are looking into the issues. Regarding downloading the snippets. No - Currently we do not have ...Show All

• SQL Server What is the best most efficient performant way to do a Control break in SSIS?

  I have an EDI file with Different Transaction types. I would like to read for a Header, capture some specific info on the header, and read for another specific tran type that comes after and capture additional info. I have a couple of ideas like tagging the records with a key and loading into two temp tables for matching later but that means I would have to do double processing. Maybe a conditional split for the two transaction types and then unioning them downstream, but not sure if the right records would be associated. Possibly tagging sequential key and writng to raw files and matching on the raw file keys downstream. I have a lot of ideas but I am looking for the best proven practice here so i don't spin my wheels or have to g ...Show All
