• SQL Server SSIS remote connection

  Hello. I am trying to remotely connect to SSIS from my PC using windows authentication in SQL mgmt studio and I keep getting the following error message: --------- Cannot connect to <server> Additional Information: Failed to retrieve date for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum) Connect to SSIS service on machine "<server>" failed: The RPC server is unavailable. --------- I do not get the same error when I connect to the database engine, just SSIS. I don't have a firewall inbetween the machines either so it can't be that. Has anyone else had a similar problem if so, I would be grateful if you can you tell me how you got around it Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Basic Stop all the timers

  Is there a way to stop all running timers. Or is there a way to find out which timers are currently running I tried to do a simple for each but couldn't figure it out. Thank you. This might help: For Each ctl As IComponent In Me.components.Components If TypeOf ctl Is Timer Then Dim tmr As Timer = CType(ctl, Timer) Debug.Print("Found timer, enabled={0}", tmr.Enabled) End If Next Note that you can't find the other 2 types of timers, System.Timers.Timer and System.Threading.Timer. A form will not have a components member if there are no components on the form. You are a frequent thread starter on this forum but you rarely mark them as answered. Please get in the habit of marking a post as the answer if it p ...Show All

• SQL Server named set questions

  As I understand it, a named set is not processed until it is needed. Once these are processed are they cached for use by other client requests If there are Aggregations set up in the cube will this trigger the named sets be processed right away with the cube I assume that if a named set is too big there could be loss in performance, is there a way to hold down the size of a named set here are some examples of named sets i've created using some calculated members. perhaps there is a better way of doing this *************** Calculated Members*************************** CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE .[MEASURES].[HP Plus Addl Billing] AS aggregate ([PREP CONTROL HDR].[Bill Formats].&[19],[Measures].[Billed Sales ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpWebRequest encoding

  Hi, is there a way to control the character set (encoding) used by the HttpWebRequest class I'm having problems with a request that has querystring parameters whose values contain accented characters ("e", for example). If I create the HttpWebRequest from a string they are (correctly) url-encoded, but unfortunately the server I'm requesting from does NOT url-decode the parameter values! I've made the same HTTP GET from IE using both escaped strings and simply typing the accented characters straight into the address bar. I get the correct response only in the latter case. So I tried to construct my HttpWebRequest from a Uri instance instead, using the (string url, bool dontEscape) constructor to avoid url-encoding. Lookin ...Show All

• Visual C# Make stand alone exe

  I posted this in one of the visual studio 2005 forums and someone suggested I try posting it here. In Visual Studio 2005 is there any way to actually make just a standalone exe file, like in visual studio 6.0 where you just go to Build or Make EXE or something similar All I can find is the publishing section which creates a setup.exe which then "installs" the program and checks for updates etc. I just want to make one exe file that can be run from any PC anywhere that you just double click and away it goes, straight into your program, in visual studio 6.0 this was no problem at all yet I have spent hours searching and am still unable to do this in VS 2005. Thanks Asking questions is the way to learn :-) talking about ...Show All

• Gadgets Gadget post info to new web form

  I've created a gadget which is a simple HTML form with 2 text boxes and a button. When you click the button it should open a new IE window and send the information to the target URL as a post. The problem is when installed as a sidebar, although the IE window is opening with the correct page, the information in the 2 textboxes does not seem to be transferred. I have tested the simple HTML form by opening it in IE and all functionlity works fine, but not when I install it as a sidebar.

• Visual Studio Express Editions how do we get number of days/hours comparing two diff date/time?

  how do we get number of days/hours comparing two diff date/time ... for example 12/05/06 to 02/01/07(number of days)......10:30 am to 20:05pm You can always use the TimeSpan class for more precise differences.

• Visual Basic Adding/removing dependencies at runtime?

  Is there any way to add or remove dependencies at runtime   I have a main app that references 4 other projects (class libraries), each of which reference other libraries.  Previously, each of the 4 modules were installed with every installation.  I am trying to modify the setup to allow installation of only specified modules along with the main app, since each of the modules are dependent of the others.  So I added dialogs and conditions to the .msi, and coded the main app so that it checks which modules are installed and disables any features which would require accessing the .dll's that weren't installed.  This works fine in debug mode within the IDE.  However, when I install and run the program without ...Show All
