• SQL Server Login Failure

  There have been other similar posts, but this is my issue: I have set up database mirroring with a witness, and failover works properly. I have also installed the login id's and their original SID's onto the mirror server. When I run a Reporting Services report against the primary database, it runs properly. When I failover to the mirror server and run the report again, I get a "login failed for user" error. As I have already said, the SQL login that the Reporting Services report uses was installed on the mirror server with the original SID. Any ideas as to what else might be wrong Can you check the SID on master and user databases similarity Also specify a valid, available database in the co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Msdn help for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook members

  Hi, I develop outlook add ins whith vs 2005. I try to find help for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook members but I don't have it on my local help(it's not exist in the index) but I can see Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word in the index. Why I don't have it I searched over the web but I didn't find any help for this namespace members (classes ,interfaces etc. for example : Explorer interface , ExplorerClass). How can I install it on my local machine and where can I find it over the web. Thanks, David Hey David.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Invoke another workflow

  Hi, I know it is possible to invoke a workflow from another workflow. But is it possible to invoke a custom Sharepoint Workflow from a "normal" workflow Thanks Thomas Well without really giving it too much thought, you could host a Web Service on the SP server, that you called from your "normal" workflow and this would in turn invoke your your SP workflow Or you could get fancy and look at some remoting / service that runs on your SP server to do the same kind of thing I'm just throwing out random thoughts here though ... ...Show All

• .NET Development SortedList incorrectly(?) says key exists

  Hi, I get an odd result when adding two entries to a SortedList, where the key is a string: SortedList < string , string > list = new SortedList < string , string >(); string s1 = Char .ConvertFromUtf32(0x1700); string s2 = Char .ConvertFromUtf32(0x1701); bool equal = String .Equals(s1, s2); list.Add(s1, "First" ); list.Add(s2, "Second" ); When adding the second entry, an exception occurs saying that an entry with the same key already exists. The comparison though results in equal = false. I admit the characters are a bit strange, but they are defined (see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1700.pdf ), although I can't see that should matter. I guess it has somethi ...Show All

• Windows Forms FolderBrowserDialog keeping application open

  Hi, I have a simple windows test application (c#, .Net 2.0), which contains a button. Once the button is clicked on, a folderbrowser dialog appears (called using the showdialog() function). If I run the application without clicking the button, or run it without the folderbrowserdialog code implemented, the application works fine and shuts down as expected. However, if I run the application so that the folderbrowserdialog appears, when I shut the program down, the window disappears, but in the process manager, the application is still active. The only way of stopping it is by killing it in the process manager. So, I came to the logical conclusion that the folderbrowserdialog is somehow keeping the application open. The strange thing is that ...Show All

• Visual C++ Still having problems with printing out INT64 integers

  Still having problems with printing out INT64 integers I am still having problems with this code. This prints out a number, but it's not exactly what I want. I need to print out an INT64 number that is in sync all the way through. For example: The hex: FF D8 FF E1 1E 63 45 78 is the first line of the file test.jpg. I would like to display its integer (unsigned) value: 18435766416983672184 But what it does it prints out is the number for hex 78 45 63 1E E1 FF D8 FF, which is 8666442042236197119. I thought this would be ok, but later when I want to do more stuff to the program it won't work. There has to be a simple way of reading in 64 bits of data and then output the decimal value into a .txt file. Please can someo ...Show All

• SQL Server Row yielded no match during lookup

  In SSIS. I am having trouble exporting records that don't match from a lookup transformation. I get the following error: Row yielded no match during lookup. I would really like to have a list of all records that did not match so that I could send an email of those missing rows Please give me solution with example Thanks leo1 wrote: Thanks for email I m new in SSIS, please suggest such error output with example. Leo, when you configure a lookup transformation to 'redirect error' all no-matched rows are sent to the error output instead of failing the task (the error you originally received); obviously those error rows will have null in the columns that the lookup transfor ...Show All

• Visual Basic SSH, VB.NET and Multi-threading

  I'll start with my question and a brief bio: The question is, "Can anyone assist me in multi-threading this " Bio: I'm still new to VB.NET. A while back, we had a need to create "something" that would SSH to multiple servers, run a command (or series of commands) and return the results. The code below is what I came up with. In regards to the question I posed, this app runs on a server with multiple CPUs and plenty of horsepower. The application kicks off Plink which is a command line utility that comes with Putty. Works great...but, it is slow. When I say multiple servers...I'm talking about more than 15...it executes Plink.exe, runs the command, returns the results, executes Plink.exe, runs..., ..., ...

• Visual Studio database login pop up

  Hi, I am doing windows app in vs05. I have deployed several CR reprots. A problem just identified is that on one report, everytime user execute my program, the Database Login will be prompted, and no report is loaded into the viewer regardless what action has been taken after that (Cancel, Finish, type in id and pwd, or check use integrated security).. BTW, on the pop up, the grayout Server name box has Newdataset in it, and database box is empty. Also, it only happens on client machine, but not my dev box under debug run. I know there is a way to bypass the Database Login Prompting, for instance the next link. http: / / support. crystaldecisions. com/ communityCS/ TechnicalPapers/ cr_ rdc_ dbconnectivity. pdf. asp I am trying some of t ...Show All

• SQL Server How to rename a column or table on the desktop?

  I am using the compact edition on a desktop using VS2005 as well as SQL Server Management Studio. None of those tools allow me to rename a column or rename a table. Can someone point me a tool the runs on the desktop (as opposed to running on a CE device) that allows me to do the renaming Thanks I have published an article on this subject that you can adapt to the desktop: Renaming a SQL CE Table From a .NET CF Application Although some of my products do that (I am affiliated to that company ), you don't have to purchase one just to rename a table or column name. The code I published on that article can be easily adapted to the desktop. If you have problems with it, just let me know. ...Show All

• .NET Development Incompatible source code in team dev. env??

  Hi All, In my VS2005 team, I have two developers who have their font size (DPI setting) set to different size. One leaves his DPI to normal, and the other set to 115%. They both have screen resolution set to 1280 x 1024. The big problem is that, if a form is modified by developer A, and then developer B cannot use it because at runtime, the form will look very unstable with truncated text or bottom cut-off text. I do a code different and found that VS 2005 modifies the size (in size() function) of any control placed on the form as shown below: Dev A (has DPI set to 115%) this.msktbxContactPhone.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(113, 23); this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(8F, 17F); Dev B (has DPI ...Show All
