• Visual Studio Tools for Office RSS feed in Outlook

  How can I see if a MailItem is a RSS item using the object model // Johan As its name implies, I would expect the NewMailEx event to fire only for new mail. RSS feed items are not mail. You should be able to use the Folder.Items.ItemAdd method to monitor RSS feed folders for new items. What is it that you want to do with these items I don't write C# code, so I can't speak to the best way to check the type and cast. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Threading - using variables declared on the UI.

• SQL Server Errors Deploying an SSIS package

  Hi All, I hope someone can help becuase this problem is issue us several headaches. We are currently trying to deploy an SSIS package to a production server. The deployment goes fine, the package runs ok when executed manually. The issues start when we try and execute it under the SQL agent. Having gone back to the drawing board and spent much of the day reading various articles and applying the various options (especially those within the MS KB article 918760 ), we are still no closer to a resolution. The SSIS package was created under an Administrator, and the SQL agent runs under a different Domain Admin account. When we set up the Schedule to read from SQL Server or the SSIS Store the standard "Executed as user: D ...Show All

  Is there a way to apply .css or Skin files to all reports. Changing colors in each and every page is a little cumbersome.

• Visual Studio Brace Highlighting and Background

  I actually just installed VStudio 2005 and am editing C++ code and the only brace highlighting I get is when I type a new } , but it matches in black that is really hard to determine between it and a regular one, there is no option to set the background, only the brace color. Also, is there a way to make it match just by clicking next to the } Correct. The behaviour and options from the linked thread above are by design. -Tim <MSFT> ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting to Oracle on 64-bit (x64) machine

  Hi, Has anyone received the following error when trying to create a connection to an Oracle database using SSIS installed on a 64-bit (x64) machine "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ORA-06413: Connection not open" The reason this is funny to me is because I have the same Oracle/SSIS setup on a 32-bit (x86) machine and I can connect successfully. On both machines I have SSIS RTM, Oracle 9.2 and using the Microsoft Ole Db Provider for Oracle. Thanks, - Joel A teammate of mine might have found the problem and "solution" (it really is a messy workaround right now).

• SQL Server Paged Result Sets

  What is the recommended mechanism for selecting paged results from SQL. Presently I pass various params including the request Max Items Per Page and the requested page. The I execute the query as a count with the search params. Then comes the paging logic, which validates the page number against the request page and number of hits etc. Then a temp table and record variables are created for the results. Then I run the query again with a cursor and select the appropriate Items into the temp table based on the paging values (First Item and Last Item). Then I return the temp table & some additional return params with the Total Hits etc. The Stored procedure is accessed via an ADO.Net client and the system.data.IDBReade ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista promote bindable properties

  Hi, I did this and saw new depend properties at workflow scope that somehow seem to be tied to other depend props at activity scope but don't understand what ties them together. I see the new properties declared in the code with getter/setter functions but don't see anything in the code or .xoml files that causes a value to be copied to or from another depend prop. Where is this Thanks, Scott Promoting activity properties causes new dependency properties being generated at the workflow level (or at the root activity level if you're designing an activity). The original activity property is then bound to these new properties through ActivityBind. If you look into the .designer.cs file, you'll notice a call ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Use 2 TF-servers at same client.

  We have TFS running on a test server and a production server. I want to be able to switch between the two without having to disconnect and reconnect, so I just started VS twice and connected to the test server in the first IDE and to the production server in the second IDE. However this does seem to cause some problems, when working with work items, because the test server and production server have different work items and workflows. Is this configuration supported It sometimes happen that I'm unable to save a work item because the TFS server reports "There may be a problem with the workitem type definition" or "Not supported field or not enough permissions" (these are not the exact m ...Show All
