• Visual C# Error in Visual Studio (C#) AND Visual Studio (C#) - Data Source

  Hello- I am receiving the same error message within Visual C# Express Edition as well as Visual Studio 2005 when I attempt to add a new data source in my project. The error I keep recieving in both Visual C# Express and Visual Studio is "An error occured while creating the new data source: Could not get the type information for 'Lesson09.Database1DataSet' ".

• Visual Studio Team System Just to clarify TeamSystem license - TFS

  I have been reading a lot of different information about TFS x TeamSystem license model, concerning Cals etc One thing I am almost sure is when we sign for MSDN Premium TeamSystem (whether Suite, Dev, Tester or Arch), we do have rights for 5 CALs to access TFS. Another issue has to do with using this package after expiration. I have posted previously about the possibility of signing for MSDN Premium TeamSystetm Suite, and when renewing, choosing a lower package (tester for instance). In this case, I would not receive any other new features on the other versions (in this case Dev and Arch), but I would be fully license covered to continue using the whole package I had up to that moment. Could anyone from Microsoft confirm this 2 in ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework Simulating Exception scenarios for third party services

  Hi, I am trying to simulate a scenario where I have a third party webservice as a participant in my Session manifest.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA 3d models invalid texture

  Hello, I wish to use my 3D models I've created in 3D Studio Max. This is possible using the export function. XNA can handle the FBX format. However, employing this exported model gives the following error: Error 2 Invalid texture. Face 0 is sized 367x480, but textures using DXT compressed formats must be multiples of four. It is hard to believe all of my textures should be of the format multiples of four. This leaves a lot of the available 3D models in the dark. Is there any way of avoiding this error Or am I missing something Thanks in advance. That is a limitation the exporter, but also a limitation on alot of hardware. Not all hardware supports non power of two textures. In cases where it snot suppor ...Show All

• SQL Server Login failed from Windows Service

  I'm building a Windows Service which keeps getting denied access to SQL Server 2k. The Service operates as a System User rather than an individual user profile. I've tried Trusted_Connection=yes and Integrated Security=SSPI but these are both denied. Any ideas what the connection string to connect to SQL Server 2k from a Wndows Service is I just tried adding NT Authority as a user but I can't see it in the list of users. I performed a search of users and 'NT Authority' wasn't found. Should 'builtin\administrator' be listed as one of the users or not Also, for distribution purposes, can whatever steps need to be taken for the Service to access the database be performed from an installation file Th ...Show All

• SQL Server There's just no escaping it... data containing quotes ruining CSV files

  Much to my surprise and dismay, after burning hours and hours developing various SSIS packages to extract data from my SQL 2005 DB to CSV flat files, I found out the hard way that SSIS doesn't properly escape quotes (") in the data (my output file is required to have quotes as text qualifiers). It seems like I'm pretty much forced to create derived columns to test for the existence of quotes in my data, then either escape them or replace them with another character. This is really NOT COOL. Not only will this significantly hinder performance, it makes my packages a heck of a lot more complicated (especially when I'm exporting lots of text columns). Am I doing something wrong, or does SSIS really not escape the text qualifier ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Hanging - Selecting uncommitted data

  We have found an issue with using MSS 2005 with odbc connections, some of our code inserts data, then reselects the data back with a select using a different handle. This hasn't caused any issues before but in one customer this causes a lock up. The timeout error doesn't occur as you would expect if trying to select data that is uncommitted by another user. Although obviously we could re-code to avoid selecting uncommitted rows, can anyone tell me why this works sometimes but not others. Some kind of setting in MSS that we're unaware of maybe. The code works ok on other MSS 2005 & MSS 2000 servers and oracle & sqlbase. Hi, are there differences in ConnectionPools / Queries Hints or lock beh ...Show All
