• SQL Server Flat file connection is skipping columns

  The data file contains column names in the first row. Excel imports the file correctly. I can see the tabs in UltraEdit32. But...the flat file connection just skips over a column. In the preview window, it appears to skip the column entirely. However, when the data is imported, data from the non recognized column goes into a column that is mapped to receive data from another column shifting the data in to the next column. I am using the CopyColumn and the SQL Destination controls. Any ideas on how to make this work Thanks, IanO ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office 2007 add-in problem

  I have installed VSTO 2005 and also Office 2007. However, I cant find the Microsoft.Interop dll files when I am trying to develop my own customized ribbon. After searching in the web, I get to know about the Office 2007 PIA, so I download and double click to install it. However, the things still remain the same after installation progress... So, anyone has any ideas about the solution and my problem Please guide me ... thank you. Did you look for Microsoft Excel 12.0 (for example) in the COM tab of the Add Reference dialog box The PIAs appear in the COM, not the .NET tab of this dialog box. And you have to add the reference in order to access the Interop. However, if you install the VSTO 2005 SE for Add-ins and choose an Office A ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Buffer creation doc bug.

  While the docs are obviously incorrect, I've yet to really use D3D10, so I don't think I can just submit a fix with the usual "report a doc bug" button. Hopefully some of you here can sort out what it should say. Topic ID: (D3D10) Creating a Resource (a Basic Guide) Under subheading " A Subresource Description", The following paragraph is present: " However, it should be noted that applications that do not initialize their buffers at creation time must create them with either D3D10_USAGE_DYNAMIC or D3D10_USAGE_STAGING flags (see D3D10_USAGE ) as only resources created with these flags can be changed by the application after they have been created." This implies all other usag ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Can't search within PDF files

  I've installed the Adobe Ifilter 6.0 and can now search to list posted pdf files in multiple sites by querying the pdf name. I can search content within Word files, but still cannot search content within these pdf files. Is there something else I need to configure to see content within these pdf files I can't seem to find any clues to what needs to be tweaked. Thanks. I'm having the same issue. My Operating System is Windows 2003 R2 x64 with SQL Server 2005 and WSS 3.0. I'm running the latest iFilter version -- 6.0 and have verified all registry settings. Some of the pdf files are indexing properly, but I believe that the ones created with Adobe 8.0 are not indexing content at all. I assume this is a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Host Unreachable

  Hi, I am using T-Mobile SDA (WM5) I am trying a ftp program. When I debug the program through VS2005 when the SDA is connected to computer, everything is working fine. I can connect to a ftp server and can download files. But when I run this on the cellphone as a standalone program without connecting to computer, its giving the following error: "System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host" I have a data connection (GPRS) and I can browse the internet. (But when I am browsing the internet the symbol "G" which signifies GPRS Connection is appearing on the top pane.) When I am running the program, it has to go through GPRS so I think "G" symbol must appear, But its ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to get more info about port using System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

  I need to programatically find the particular port that is associated with my device (which is connected though a USB adapter). After inserting the USB connection for the device, a new port is displayed in the Device Manager under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" heading. The new port displays in the following manner: " Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM5) ". When I use SerialPort.GetPortNames() all I get is "COM5". I can't figure out how to get the "Prolific USB-toSerial" part that is displayed in the Device Manager. Anyone know how to grab that thanks much, Ryan Try using the SerialPort.GetPortNames() method to find out which ports are available. Yo ...Show All

• Commerce Server Setting locale

  Hi Could somebody point me in the direction of setting the locale for the commerce server app I'm guessing that the messageManager settings in the web.config decide what language to use, but is there anyway to set the current language in the code Thanks in advance Paul Just found the answer to my own question. There is information on how to do this on the commerce server team blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/commerce/archive/2006/11/02/starter-site-architecture-1.aspx Basically the code just sets the CurrentUICulture and CurrentCulture of the current thread. ...Show All

  We are have severe fatal errors with TFS when I got to work this morning, starting sometime last night. I am having no luck searching for answers to these error codes and am having a bummer of a time trying to troubleshoot. Any ideas These messages were occurring repeatedly all night long so much that it filled up more than 16 mb of event log and unfortunately, that’s a rolling 16mb, so I lost scope on when the first one occurred and if there were any other errors at the beginning of this trouble.

• SQL Server DataReader output column length

  Hello, I have an ODBC connection manager to a Progress database. In that database there is a column declared as a string of 10 characters long. However, some data in this column is actually up to 15 characters long.
