• Gadgets Docking Gadgets?

• SQL Server Passing object properties to variables

  Hi. I was wondering if it's possible to pass object properties to variables For example, if I have a ConnectionString property for a SQL Server connection, would it be possible to pass this value to a User-scoped variable Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! One way you could accomplish this is by using a Script task. You can access the properties of all the connections in your Connection Manager through the Dts ScriptObjectModel . For example, the following code grabs the ConnectionString of my " currentFolder " connection object, and stores it in the " myConnectionString " variable. Public Sub Main() Dim value As String value = Dts.Connections( "currentFolder" ).Connection ...Show All

• .NET Development ProcessMessage: used to prevent a method call?

  Hello, In my server sink implementation, in the ProcessMessage() method, I need to (selectively) make sure that the call to "requestMsg.Properties["__MethodName"]" method is not carried out on the server. Ideally, I want the server to remain oblivious that the client has even attempted to call that method, yet for the called method to return "false" on the client side (if at all possible). So far all of my attempts resulted in exceptions thrown on the client side. Does anybody know of the proper way to implement my requirement, please Thank you, Victoria Dumitru, thank you! This solves my problem (I was setting responseMsg to null, doh...) Cou ...Show All

• SQL Server Package with WinZip hangs

  Dear Folks, I have a package that calls winzip to extract files(command line usage) in an Execute Process task. The package runs fine if I am logged in to the server. It hangs on the winzip task otherwise. The package is stored on the server (as opposed to the file system) & is run under a proxy account using the SQL Server Agent. I tried adding folder and WinZip32.exe permissions for the domain user who the proxy account was created under to no avail. Any Ideas Thanks for your help! I don't have a high enough version for that particular utility, but found you could use the command line for older and standard versions as shown here: http://www.memecode.com/docs/winzip.html I'll be trying this out in my package and will post b ...Show All

• Visual C++ Receive() error 2006

  During the execution of client server programming in vc++ i got "Receive() error 2006" in the client side.where i did mistake. Do you mean that the return value of the Receive() was 2006 or it returns SOCKET_ERROR and the 2006 was the return value of the GetLastError() you called after Receive(). If the first option, then the Receive() succeeded and the 2006 means the number of bytes received. If the second option, then I think that you didn't call GetLastError() immediately after the Receive(), so I guess that you should call the GetLastError() immediately after the Receive(). If you still have troubles then send a snippest of your code. Also I suggest sending your question to win32.programmer.networks group: http:/ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Number of nodes in a tree view

  Hi, Is there a limit on the maximum number of nodes that will be displayed in a tree view Thanks! Generally, you wouldn't want your user to have to traverse through 65535 nodes. Not only would it take forever to populate the TreeView, it would probably take her forever to find the right node. This is one reason this bug hasn't been fixed for so long. Nevertheless, there's a strategy you can follow, similar to what Windows Explorer does. It presents a TreeView that allows you to browse all the files on your C: drive. Anymore, that's well over 65535 files. If you take a close look at how it behaves, you'll see that it shows "+" nodes for every folder, even if it doesn't contain any files. Wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Move TFS project from one server to another.

  We have a situation where we want two TFS servers at our site: one for internal developers and the other for a remote outsourcing vendor. (They will access it by means of a VPN-connected TFS proxy at their own site). This way we don't risk exposing our internal source code to an external party. If we need to move a code project from one server to the other, how do we do it A restore based move would wipe out the content of the target server (yikes!). If we do a straight file copy and then check in the files on the other server, we would lose all of the history. Is there a solution As far as I know and read, it is not possible to move TFS projects between servers in this version. I believe that is under con ...Show All
