• SQL Server Cannot use credentials for proxy account

  Hi, because my package does not run with SQL-Server-Agent, but without problems if started by "hand", I created a new credential which contains the information needed for the package. I did this as described on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190703.aspx . After that i tried to create an proxy account, but when I chose the created credential, Management Studio says "Der Proxy "[name_of_credential] ist kein gultiger Windows-Benutzer(Microsoft SQL Server, Fehler: 14529)". This means something like: "This Proxy is not a valid windows-user. Error: 14529". Any hints how to use a credential that is not a windows-user Regards, Jan Wagner Hi, thanks ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista State Machine Workflow needs to time out if several state transitions do not happen within specified period

  Dear all, I know how to set a timeout on a specific event not happening within a period of time, within a single state. This is done by putting two EventDriven activities in the same state, with one awaiting the event and another waiting for a Delay to expire. However, I have a requirement for a state machine workflow to move through several states, any one of which has no specific time limit, but the complete set of state transitions needs to take place within a specific period of time. Could anyone explain how to deal with this I seem to have hit a mental block, where I can't see how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated. Dear Shelly, That works really well. Thanks for letting me know about it. I had not reali ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Column '' is not accessible through group-by

  Hello, I'm having problems with LINQ to SQL: var gts = from t in Transactions where t.CreationDate == Today group t by new { t.TransactionDate, t.Type, t.Account, Sign = Math.Sign(t.Value) } into g select new { g.Key, Value = g.Sum(t => t.Value), NationalValue = g.Sum(t => t.NationalValue) } ; I'm getting an InvalidOperationException: Column '' is not accessible through group-by.If I change the t.Account in the group by for a t.AccountID I don't have the problem. I've also tried to use different sources that should be including the Account object to no avail. The only way I could make it work was by using Transactions.ToList().

• Visual C# how to insert a carriage return at the end of a string in C# pls

  2/ also, if I do : line=myStreamReader.ReadLine How do I do to keep the carriage return as part of line string So when i display line items they keep the returns and my text gets well formatted Thank you ReadLine will strip them out. The easiest thing to do is to insert them back using "\n". However you can also switch to Read to get a block of characters at a time or ReadToEnd to read the entire string into memory. If you don't need to do any manipulation then ReadToEnd is the best choice. Michael Taylor - 2/7/07 http://p3net.mvps.org ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Raising an Event from a Workflow

But how would I manage external library events inside a workflow example: I have a compression library that raise byte progression event during process and I wan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Snipets ??

  Hiya, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am very very new to visual basic (just going through the first tutorial in my book :) Its telling me to use snipets to add code in, which is fine, but i have noticed that when i put snipets in its only putting in a few lines of code, compared with the pictures in the book there should be alot more. At first i thought it might be because I have a different revision of VB than the one used in the book, but when testing it my programme is not working so i guess i am missing code :( Is there any setting's I need to change I just want to double check with you, I am using for example the snipet Read Text From a File (in Processing Drives,Folders A ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SharedConnectionWorkflowCommitWorkBatchService

  I'm persisting my workflows to separate server. This didn't work and after a lot of pounding my head against the wall and digging around in the forums I saw posts from Xin and Steve explaining SharedConnectionWorkflowCommitWorkBatchService as a workaround for the DTC issue. And now persistence works. (Thank you Xin & Steve). My question is will this workaround be a permanent part of the release going forward, or has this already been addressed / corrected I searched the database but the latest info I could find was in mid-May. Can I get a status on this Thanks, Matt From another post on the subject: Joel West wrote: I'll add some to this. The SharedConnectionWork ...Show All
