• SQL Server Script Source: Error on truncation etc

  I have a script source to deal with a source that has different "record types" (first 3 columns are the same then the remaining 2 to 30 columns are different based on the record type). Script source was working fine... then one of the columns that I had set to String with length of 2 came in with a length of 3 (which is not per spec)... instead of failing - all the columns after the one that had the bad value were null and the script just stopped as soon as it hit that.. AND said it was success.  Which means it imported the data incorrectly and since the script says it was a sucess you'd never know anything went wrong and it only imported 30 rows instead of 10k+ Any ideas on how to capture this error Code (shortened ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista LiveUDF has refresh problem

  Dear all, I found that LiveUDF has refresh while renaming files. Here are the steps: 1. Format DVD+RW disc with Live UDF (UDF 2.01) 2. Copy a.txt to the disc. 3. Rename a.txt to b.txt 4. Now you can see both a.txt and b.txt... 5. Press F5, a.txt is gone and only b.txt exists. It seems to be Explorer's issue since it does not refresh the content automatically.... Best Regards, Minway Thank you for this information. I've forwarded this information to the UDF and shell teams. You should also file a bug via the normal channels if you want updates on the status of your issue. This forum cannot be used to provide that information. Thanks, . ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Jerky animation in fullscreen mode with non native resolution

  I have a Dell 2005fpw wide screen LCD monitor with a 1680x1050 native resolution. I'm working on a 2d game with a 640x480 resolution and noticed when in full screen mode, the movement is jerky. I turned off vsync and the fixed time step and tried the following configurations. 640x480 windowed mode = smooth movement 640x480 full screen = jerky movement 1680x1050 full screen = smooth movement Does anyone know how I can have smooth movement in 640x480 full screen I'm wondering if it has to do with my monitor and it's native resolution or the game code itself. Why don't you set your resolution to the screen's resolution and scale all your graphics accordingly I did this with my game by inheriting from Sprite ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving database from one Server to another

  I am sorry for such a basic question. But i have done a search and the answers dont seem to be relevant in my situation I have two servers with the same setup where the sql is installed in default C/programme and the db is in D/some folder So the file structure is the same Back in SQL 2000 days the transfer was so painless, where I made the DB offline and transferred the main db.mdf and log to the new server and i attached it to the new sql server in the new server. Now this process does not work. I have tried the old method and it says something like you should do it with Move or something. I transfer the back up and try and restore and it says that it is read only. Surely things should get easier with sql 2005 or sql ...Show All

• Visual C++ VcBuild failing to recompile when header file changes.

  I noticed that after changing a header file in one of my projects, the .cpp files that include it were not recompiling. I have narrowed down the problem to the simplest of cases. This is very simple stuff, yet Studio does not seem to be able to know when a file needs recompiling. Please help, I need to be able to rely on my compiler! If anyone wants a zip of the files involved, please let me know.
