• SQL Server Migrating A SQL 7 DB to SQL 2005

  We are planning on upgrading a SQL 7 Server to 2005 SP1. I ran the Update Advisor and one of the issues listed was that the Database Maintenance Plan would not work in Server 2005. The Advisor mentions a tool to use but not which one, which is my first question. I went online and found some documentation regarding copying the database etc., however, when attempting to copy from the SQL 2000 (DB in SQL 7) to 2005 (I have SQL 2000 and 2005 on my machine) when I try and connect to the 2005 box, its listed as one of the instances but will not connect. For grins and kicks I backed the database up in the 2000 environment and restored it on a test machine which is in 2005. The Advisor was correct, I am unable to create a Database Maintenanc ...Show All

  Hello All, I have a unique problem while connecting to oracle source with a 64 bit processor. I can connect to the oracle from the command prompt in the 64 bit processor but not from SSIS.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Requirements Checker

  Well, I finally decided to write a little utility that checks for the required components of XNA (excluding .Net2.0 because i wrote it using .net 2.0 ) because I've seen just too many threads about the game not working on non-dev pcs. This program lets the user know if they have an outdated graphics card, installs the latest directx using directx webinstall, and installs the xna framework redist 1.0. I bundled it together inside a NSIS installer package because it was the easiest method i knew of. Not the most elegant way, i know. If anyone has a better solution, please let me know. I included the license for both directx and xna, and if i missed any legal issues with redistributing the packages in my own way, please let me know. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Import Library Path for Team Build

  Hello, We have multiple solutions and several projects (C++) in each solution. Some of these projects make library reference to the binaries built by other projects.

• Visual C# Applying Property Attributes decorating a class to its member properties

  I am using attributes to supply range values for properties of an object being displayed in a propertyGrid. This works great when I am dealing with primitive types like int and float. However I have more complex data types that I want to decorate with a range attribute and have the attribute applied to member items of the object that was decorated. It should be noted that I have created custom type and property descriptors so that I have control over those description passed to the property grid. This allows me to control how the property grid displays properties dynamically. To apply the range constraints to the property I have overridden the SetValue Method in the property descriptor. The problem is when you are changing the value t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Contract First, CompleType naming standard

  What do you suppose is the standard for naming types defined in schemas I forgot where I saw this but someone said to postfix with Type Therefore PersonType, AddressType, and etc. Does this matter Suggestions Comments THere is no need to use the "Type" suffix for data contracts (WSDL schemas). The key is to have consistent naming conventions within your company. Some basic guidelines are: Use Pascal case for type names. Use Pascal or camel case for member names, but be consistent across types for this. Prefer Pascal case since this will appear more like "property" names to generated client proxies. Always provide a namespace for the data contract. The format should b ...Show All

• Visual Basic Class Question

  if i create a class, eg. mask, which inherits from another, eg. general, if i put a constructor in the mask class, is it correct i need to copy the rest of the constructor from the general class. cos i thought i don't need to do this as i is inherited from the general one.

• SQL Server truncating the package buffer after each table copy

  Hi I have a SSIS package that I run from dtexec command prompt in parallel. they run completely isolated. Sometime when I push 3 instance of the packege at the same time, one of the instances will fail. I have implemented detail Log on the package to see exactly where it's going wrong. to brife you on what the package does, I can say in nutsheel that it does copy tables between servers. due to the nature of the problem, the point in failer can is completely random. if I run just one instance it will work fine (always). if it is more than one that there is a chance that it might fail. (but there is agood chance that they will run successfully). my guess is, as this packages share resources (CPU,Mempry and disk I/O) sometimes is there is an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System rollback to a label?

  Hi All How can I rollback to a Label I see that tfpt.exe just lets you rollback a changeset. Also, It just lets me select 1 changeset at 1 time. What if, I wanna rollback 3 changesets at 1 time We are used to labeling a release. The tech leads may ask me to rollback to a specific label if something screws up in a branch. How can I get around with this Thanks. After you get the list of files, you'd write out a new file called "BulkCheckout.tfc" that looked like: checkout file1.txt checkout folder\file2.txt checkout folder333\file333.txt etc. Then run tf @BulkCheckout.tfc to quickly check out all of them.

• Connected Services Framework HelloWorld sample not working

  Hi, I've got the HelloWorld sample application working perfectly on one of my laptops. But today I tried to run it on a different laptop and it fails to run properly. Both laptops have similar installations (CSF Dev edition for XP) and use similar app.config and manifest.xml files. After I press the "CreateSession" button I get a messagebox displaying a SOAPFaultException: Internal server error occurred. I tried to get more detailed exception information, but nothing was written to the event log and using the VS2005 debugger didn't help either.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can I not develop Outlook 2003 add-ins after having installed Office 2007 ?

  I have an old outlook 2003 addin project, which I now want to maintain. However, since the last time I opened the project in Visual Studio I have installed Office 2007, which required Outlook 2003 to be uninstalled. When I now try to open my project I get this message: "Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP1 or newer is not installed on this computer. You must install a version of Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 that supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System projects." And when I continue to try to open it, the addin project in the solution explorer will be "unavailable" saying that "the project file cannot be loaded".
