• SQL Server Insert image using clr stored procedure

  I tried to insert a row using a clr stored procedure where a field was a varbinary(max) and the data was a jpg file. The data was truncated to 8000 bytes. A similar T-SQL sp did not truncate the data even though the parameters were identical. With the clr sp I tried varbinary, variant and image for the parameter type. The variant gave an exception. The others worked but the data was truncated. I used sqlpipe.executeandsend. Someone asked elsewhere if the pipe had an 8000 byte limit but was told it had not. Any ideas Thanks, John What type are you using far the parameter into the CLR proc   If you use SqlVarBinary you'll have to use a SqlFacetAttribute (if you deplo ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Management Studio and DTS

  I lose use of many keyboard keys in 2005 SSMS (enter, backspace, tab etc) after loading a DTS package in the backwards compatible DTS 2000 Package Designer.  I can get use of the keys back only by closing and re-opening SSMS or closing the DTS package. This is true for machines that have been upgraded from 2000 tools to 2005 tools and also true for machines that have never had 2000 tools installed on them. I have tried all the normal things such as uninstall/reinstall and service pack installations to no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this problem   I haven't seen that issue reported elsewhere. Could you please file a defect report at http://connect.micro ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Required or optional fields.

  I have a data contract that looks like: private string _BasketIDField; [ DataMember (IsRequired= true )] public string BasketID { get { return this ._BasketIDField; } set { this ._BasketIDField = value ; } } But when I generated the proxy for the client I see: [System.Runtime.Serialization. OptionalFieldAttribute ()] private string BasketIDField; [System.Runtime.Serialization. DataMemberAttribute ()] public string BasketID { get { return this .BasketIDField; } set { this .BasketIDField = value ; } It seems that the "IsRequired" on the property is getting ignored. One other indication is that I get an exception ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Get the currently selected control in a panel

  I have a panel and there is a feature that adds controls at runtime. I need them to select on click or do something else that allows my to control the active control The control that has the focus jumps to mind. You can retrieve a reference to it in the form's code with its ActiveControl property. It is however important that you don't use a control (like a button) that can receive the focus itself or ActiveControl will just return a reference to that control instead of the one that was previously selected. A toolbar button qualifies. Or a keystroke that you catch in the form's KeyDown event. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. When will the next beta of GSE be released?

  When will the next beta of GSE be released I agree with Exal. The next release can't actually be version 1.0 as the content pipeline has not been tested by those expected to use it. It would make sense to release beta2 with content pipeline and let us have a play with that, find bugs in it etc. etc. before even thinking of having a version 1 release. ...Show All

• Visual C++ is there a easyway to disable Event handler during startup.....

  Hi! All I'm starting to get into C++/CLI managed now that I'm getting used to to Syntax... Anyway This is my story............... C++/CLI seems to have the same issue that VB has in that when you start the program and load your saved options into the checkboxs/radiobuttons the event handlers CheckChanged fire,,,,,, I don't need these firing cause I am just loading them up with the saved options from the registry keys.....Nothing needs to be changed ... Is there a easy way to disable them on program startup. The way I got around that In VB is to add a startup flag.. . Skip if true.......... Thanks............ There is no difference in handling events between VC, C ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing data type from Char to Datetime

  Thanks in adance Platform: SQL 2000 A SQL table has a field named "pay-day" with Char(8) data type. I tried to change its data type to datetime but only with an error message like this. I did right-click the table and tried to modify a data type. - Unable to modify table. The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value. The statement has been terminated. Jay This means that some of your data in that column cannot be implicitly converted to a datetime value. Here is some more info on CAST and CONVERT -- you may want to try using these functions specifically to help identify which data is out of range. http://msdn2.microso ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Flow: Converting data in multiple columns

  Hi, I'm just wondering what's the best approach in Data Flow to convert the following input file format: Date, Code1, Value1, Code2, Value2 1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00, xyz3, 35.00 2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00, xyz5, 6.30 into the following output format (to be loaded into a SQL DB): Date, Code, Value 1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00 1-Jan-2006, xyz3, 35.00 2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00 2-Jan-2006, xyz5, 6.30 I'm quite new to SSIS, so, I would appreciate detailed steps if possible.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Wuaueng.dll -- Help!

  I have Windows XP and recently downloaded a bunch of updates from Microsoft (including SP2) and upgraded to IE7. Now, several strange things are happening. First, whenever I try to restart or shut down, the computer refuses to do so and instead tells me that Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. When I click for more details, the ModName at issue is wuaueng.dll. Second, if I try to go to "properties" after right-clicking on My Computer, the same kind of window pops up, except this time it says "Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem . . . ." Again, in details, the ModName is wuaueng.dll. Third, I cannot access the Windows Update webpages. Fourth, IE no longer connects to the I ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Separating Serviced Components from Data Access Components

  In Christian Nagel’s book "Enterprise Services with the .NET Framework", he talks about separating serviced components from components that perform data access. This way the serviced components are really just wrappers that call other components that perform the real work of interacting with the database. The data access components don't contain any Enterprise Services related attributes. He uses the following simple example to illustrate this point: Serviced Component A --> Data Access Component B --> Database. I am wondering if anybody has experience with complex scenarios like this: Serviced Component A --> Data Access Component B --> Data Access Component C --> Data Access Com ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Splash Screen Problem

  Good day! I'm going through the VB Express tutorial right now and I'm having problems with adding the splash screen on my application. I tried the following: 1. Create new project 2. Add new form > splash screen 3. In the application properties, I specified "splashscreen1" as the splash screen for the project 4. When I run the app, here's the error: The splash screen shows for a few seconds then instead of showing Form1, the following error message was shown: NullReferenceException was unhandled Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Can't really figure out what the problem is. This same code works in my Windows XP but not here in my Win2K PC. I previously installed Beta 2 on both PCs and successfully uninstalled the ...Show All

• Visual Studio C# lang service inserting weird spaces...

  Hello, In the last stretch of the road to ViEmu 2.0, I have stumbled into yet another ugly stumbling block. When I want to insert a newline with autoindentation, I just invoke Edit.BreakLine so that the language service will do it's usual stuff. This works very nicely with the C++ language service, and since I'm now using the IVsLinkedUndoTransactionManager, I can wrap all the operations nicely in an undo group (I couldn't before, because Intellisense etc... used an IVsCompoundAction, which is the same thing I was using, and they aren't nestable). But today, when testing with C#, I've found the method doesn't work. The problem is that the C# language service, when the editor is set to 'insert space' instead of hard tabs, and there are hard ...Show All
