• SQL Server Suppress Toggle Image

  Is it possible to suppress the toggle image when no detail exists for that group Thanks. I am also curious as to this answer. From everything I've looked at, the only property you can use for the toggle image is the initial state. There isn't a visible property for the image as far as I can tell. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Original textures along side XNB files in bin folder?

  For example, when you build your project, it looks like the textures are converted to XNB format but the original textures are also copied into the bin folder with them. Is that what is supposed to happen By default when you add something marked as XNA Content the "Copy to Output Directory" should be set to "Do not copy". If you're seeing something different, please file a bug on Microsoft Connect. Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing an array from a VC++ ActiveX component to VB .NET 2005

  Please point me in the right direction if this has already been answered. I've looked all over and found things close to my problem, but nothing that adapted properly. All I want to do is pass a one-dimensional array from an ActiveX componenet written in VC++ (2003) to a program written in VB .NET 2005. It seems like I should be able to package the array as a Safearray and then as a Variant, and return that object. But I don't seem to be able to package it properly. Thanks! I'm a little confused. Are you creating the array in the C++ code and trying to use it in the VB code Or is it the other way around Can you post the declarations that you currently have in your .idl, .h and .vb file Best R ...Show All

• Visual Studio Change default developement environment settings after initial startup

• SQL Server Logging in SSIS

  Hi: Just implemented logging on my package, and the type of logging is to a text file. Any ideas on where should i store my log folder/file, so when I do my build and deploy, I end up moving the folder as well. Do I have to manually do that How would that work What if I save the log file outside of my project folder Where is the log folder/file path specified Thanks. When you set up the logging you created a connection manager to point to the log file right Then all you need to do is to make sure that connection manager is properly configured in the new environment; meaning that the path you specified exists and the user executing the package has access to it. You could use package configuration to set up the connection man ...Show All

• SQL Server Linked Server Access DB

  After converting to SQL Server 2005 and VS2005 I am having a problem connecting to Linked Servers for Access databases. I have searched and read everything I can find, but the solution is still not evident. I have a lot of data integration and data conversion procedures to run and I am stuck at this point not understanding exactly what the problem is and how to resolve it. I believe it is somehow related to "double hop" and permissions with .NET. Many of the discussions are related to using .ASP but that is not involved in this situation. The Linked Server is defined using the UNC path. The machines are not in a domain. They are in the same LAN segment. Connections will be made without using a security context is specified. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XLinq XElementSequence.DescendentNodes() Doc Inconsistency

  The XLinq Reference that came with the May 2006 CTP seems to be inconsistent in the description of XElementSequence.DescendentNodes method. It states it returns an IEnumerable<XElement>, but is prototyped (and named) to return an IEnumerable<XNode>. I assume the description of the return value is wrong, due to the prototype and method name, as well as the fact that the method does indeed return nodes (elements, processing instructions, comments, etc.) as opposed to just elements. ...Show All
