• SQL Server Issue Exporting Date format to a delimited file.

  In exporting from a OLEDB connection to a flat file. In the originating table the field for DOB is in a varchar(10) format ex. 01/17/2007. The flat file connection destination is setup as a DT_STR. When you look at the OLEDB connection table preview you see it as 01/17/2007. When it is export to the delimited <CR><LF> <|> pipe delimited the format looks like this 01/17/2007 00:00:00. The issue would be resolved with a right ragged fixed width file. But this is not the requirement for the project format fot the file. I have tried delete and recreating the connections, and even tried doing a data conversation from the OLEDB connection to a char(10). Also, thourgh the transformation services with out any luck. On the flat ...Show All

• .NET Development Virtual Path Problem?

  Pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish is a data backup utility. First I have a treeview on the left, pretty much like Folder Explorer, that lists the drives and so forth. You then can dive down into different directories from there. The files and directories are then put into a listview on the right, after you select one of the nodes. This is where the problems start occuring. I'm including a piece of code here, just as an example to give you a visual understanding of what I'm about to ask. First make your basic windows form app. Add System.IO namespace Add a button Add listview control In your button1_Click event add the following DirectoryInfo tempDir = new DirectoryInfo ( "C:\\WINDOWS\\Downloaded Pr ...Show All

• Windows Forms .net Deployement

  Dear all How to validate the user input in custom interface, I am not able to access the textbox any where, Plz help me If you're referring to the text in a setup project's user interface, you can't check it directly when the user enters it. Visual Studio setup projects have no feature to add custom action code in the UI sequence. The best you can do is let the user enter it and then validate it in a custom action, but the custom action will run pretty much at the end of the installation and this may not be what you want. There are other tools that build MSI files that will let you do this. ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot connect to previous version

  Is it just me, or is there some feature block which stops SQL Server 2005 Express from being able to read from a previous version (SQL7) of a .MDF file. Maybe there is something I haven't yet found but my attempts to link a previous version .MDF file, always come up with an error mesage telling to decompress the file. Is this right. Thanks, Mike. ...Show All

• Visual C# Programatically set Gateway

  Hello I am writing an app to e mail a document to a client automatically. To test this, I set up the gateway in the network settings and ran my code. This worked fine. I need to be able to set the gateway in my software so that my app can send mails but not allow the user of the pc access to the internet (as they would have if I put the address in the network setting). When my app ends, I need to remove the gateway. I have looked at the help in VS2005 and it shows how to read the gateway but not how to set it and unset it. Does anyone have any ideas Cheers Peter ...Show All

• Visual Basic Internet Explorer Plugin Development

  I visited the Internet Explorer forum for this question. What is the conceptual process for creating an Internet Explorer 6 plug-in (extension). Reason for post: I would like to use Internet Explorer instead of the WebBrowser inside my application. It seems like a waste of time to create a brand new custom browser if I could simply change IE to fit my application. Once again, I need IE to reside inside my application - specifically, integrate it into one of my application windows. There is a sample for how to do this in C# here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp . You may be able to download the code and convert it into VB. -Scott Wisniewski ...Show All

• Visual C++ Creating and using Global variables...

  I want to have variables that I can access throughout my application. To do this how and where would I need to define them. Thanks. Thankyou, both of these methods look really useful. einaros, with the selectany, what am I supposed to put there I am not using any threads in my application, I only started C++ programming a short time ago so I am still learning many of the simpler things, I have and am doing quite a bit of object orientated work at the moment. I am wondering however how I would use a single object instance globaly without the use of these keywords, or would I still be using these, because the way you wrote you part on object orientated stuff seemed like there was another way...

• SQL Server What's wrong with SQL Server E-Leanring?

  Hi, all, Thank you very much for your kind attention. Think I should put this post here for help as I cant find any other forums appropriate for this problem tho. Thanks a lot for that. My question is: what is wrong with the E-Learning for the Microsoft online E-learning courses (the one I am looking at is new features of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services) As I have tried so many times to launch the E-learning tools, but it always just showed me the content while not any tool to start the learning.
