• Software Development for Windows Vista WF Designer - How to display Activity Full Name

  Hi Dear, I would like to take a print screen of my WF Design to document my work but when the activity name is long then the WF Designer cuts the end of the name and replace it with dots (e.g., receiveCustomerOrder is displayed as receiveCustomer...). It would be nice if the WF designer allows adjusting the size of the Activity shapes (just like controls in a WinForm) but unfortunatly it does not. The shape size is fixed. Could you please advice on how to get the WF designer to display the Activity Full Name How can we resize the Activity shape (I hope that I wouldn't need custom activities for such simple feature) Thanks Karim Hi Karim, Allowing users to resize activities is an inte ...Show All

• SQL Server 0xC02090F5 DTS_E_DATAREADERSRCUNABLETOPROCESSDATA

  I am moving over 100 tables from mainframe to SQL Server 2005 using SSIS all but 2 tables have worked to some degree. 2 of the packages when executed write 0 rows to SQL Server becaue they are getting this error 0xC02090F5 = DTS_E_DATAREADERSRCUNABLET OPROCESSDATA I have looked at the definitions on the mainframe and SQL Server side all looks good. I have looked at the data on the Mainframe side and there is nothing unusual. The Mappings are simple one to one mappings At one time I could even preview the data while in designer building the package but when the packages for those 2 tables are executed I get the same error. Other tools can read the data. Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Install an Exe and preserving it...

  Hello, i have an extrange question and i think this is not the right place... but i want to give a try... i need to install an exe, and that this exe and all configuration still alive after a hard reset... is there a way of acomplish that thanks!!! for it to still be in memory after a hard reset would not really be possible I believe. The only people that can customize where/how/what programs are to be kept in memory after a hard reset would be the handset manufacturer/mobile operator people who supply the handset. I'm 90% sure about this however there may/may not be a way of still keeping YOUR program in memory after a hard reset. Hard reset cleans out everything and resets back to factory settings ...Show All

• SQL Server Consolidating multiple lookups

  In many of my packages I have to translate an organizational code into a surrogate key. The method for translating is rather convoluted and involves a few lookup tables. (For example, lookup in the OrgKey table. If there is a match, use that key; if not, do a lookup of the first 5 characters in the BUKey table. If there is a match, use that key; if not, do a lookup of the first 2 characters... You get the idea.) Since many of my packages use this same logic, I would like to consolidate it all into one custom transformation. I assume I can do this with a script transform, but then I'd lose all the caching built into the lookup transforms. Should I just bite the bullet, and copy and paste the whole Rube Goldberg contraption of cascading look ...Show All

• Visual Basic Updating bin/debug and bin/release After Rebuild

  I am developing a VB 2005 windows app. When I make a change and then build the project it does not automaticallu update the stuff in bin/debug and bin/release folders. I can manually copy everything from the project to the bin/debug folder and then hit F5 to test my changes. There must be an option that I have not set properly but I cannot find it.

• Visual Studio tasks I would like to see added to MSBuild

  Hi; Here is my $0.02 worth on what I would like to see added to MSBuild: Better documentation. (The documentation in the VS 2005 doesn't even include the Message task - and the documentation for GenerateBootstrapper is totally insufficient to use it.) rename a file (needed because GenerateBootstrapper always creates setup.exe). move (not copy) a file. sn.exe signcode.exe zip & unzip nunit - with an attribute to set a directory to place output logs for each test file. A clearer way to build projects in a solution file - or at least clear documentation for how to do it now. thanks - dave 4/5: There is a task called Microsoft.Build.Tasks.SignFile. I'm not if it is for 4 or 5. 8. Solution is just a li ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Create New Team Projects from Clients fails

  Hi, We have a problem.... We have installed TFS on our Server which is a TFS only server. We have followed each step from the the manual. We have setup some users to be administrators on the TFS. We have also added them as Content Managers in the reporting services. The admin right is also set on Sharepoint. Now to the funny part when we are logged on the TFS server we can create team projects. If we login on a workstation with the Team Explorer installed it crashes. We have figured out the this happens when the wizard tries to setup the Reporing services. If anyone can give us some tips on how to solve this it would be very appriciated.
