• SQL Server DTS- Destination Column Name has spaces causing error

  I am using Advantage ODBC 6.2 to connect to a Advantage Data Server to push data from a SQL table into this server.  I can view the data from the ADS with DTS and I can insert data by using "Insert into TempTable ("Last Name","First Name") values ('test','test)" from a Execute SQL Statement. The issue is when I build up a DTS package to pull from SQL into the Advantage ODBC, I get a "missing closing ")"" error.  I have narrowed it down to the column names in the destination table having spaces (Last Name, First Name, and a bunch of others.  DBA 101 here).  How do I beat this I have tried editing the destination column names in disconnected edit by adding the double quotes but get a "Column Name '"Last ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is AfterCompile batched on ConfigurationToBuild?

  I need to do some post compilation re-arranging of the binaries directory for each configuration, can I do this in AfterCompile and use the CompileOutDir item If I move the binaries to sub-directories of the BinariesRoot will the testing processes still pick them up AfterCompile is not batched on ConfigurationToBuild - it only executes once (after all configurations have been built). As such, you'll probably want to do the batching yourself, if you need to execute the same logic for each configuration. I am not actually certain about the testing issue - the TestToolsTask that executes the tests has a SearchPathRoot property that is set to the root directory for each configuration (<BinariesRoot& ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get color scheme name?

  I'm looking for Windows API function to get the color scheme name on Vista. GetCurrentThemeName() function is not good because the filename returned is the same for both Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic. But I need something to know if the color scheme is Aero or Vista Basic because I'm doing different things based on the color scheme. Thanks!

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to delete a registry entry

  I 'm sure there's a simple answer to this but without dcumentation I just can't find it! I need to delete registry entries my program makes. When I use RegEdit to delete the key, RegEdit shows it as gone. When I start my program, it's still there !!! How do I get rid of it Well it is not so simple - the behavior you are describing is in fact a special Vista feature called "Registry Virtualization". Check this link to get some basic info about virtualization in Vista. http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/AccProtVista.asp Then you can also find some useful information in this forum. ...Show All

• Visual Basic WebServices and Functions accepting Generic Lists

  Hey Everyone, hopefully someone can help me with a little problem I have. I've coded a webservice to update a database on a server and I call it via a small application I've created anyways the webservice contains a function that takes in a datatable containing the actually database data (which seems to pass alright) and a couple of generic lists used to create the table if it doesn't exist. Problem I have is I've declared my functions in the webservice like the following <WebMethod()>_ Public Function ServerDataDB(ByVal Job as String, ByVal ColumnNames As Generic.List(Of String), ByVal TableData As DataTable) As boolean Now when I add a reference to it in my application it tells me that ColumnNames needs to be passed as type string ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to make a simple function

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks Well WayneSpanglers example does work but the other one might be nice for future use, ad thanx for showing me how to use cases.    Just note that all the cases ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading the vertex data from the opaquedata in a content processor.

  My question is really how would this be accomplished I asked earlier how to write a custom processor, and now I've got one, but I'm not sure how to get vertex data, or certain vertices out of the NodeContent and put it into the ModelContent. I'm trying to do this for precisely the kind of thing that was demonstrated in the "Gamefest Content Pipeline Demo" video. I would like to read certain marker batch vertices to be able to give me access to that data for placement of other meshes on top of a base mesh at the right spot. I would be much appreciative for help with this! :) Put a call to System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() in your processor, at the point where you want to start debugging ...Show All

• Visual C# Unhandled exception only when running in release without debugger attached.

  I am beyond baffled by this. My application throws a System.AccessViolationException only when it is run in Release mode without the debugger attached (as in, I run the exe directly, outside of Visual Studio or I do "Start Without Debugging" in the Debug menu). Debug mode - everything works great; Release mode with debugger attached - everything works great. The very nature of how this error is thrown makes it impossible to debug, so I have no idea where to look into correcting it. Has anyone else ever come across such an error Does anyone have an idea how to hunt down such an error The application is not just a few hundred lines, it is easily on the upper end of tens of thousands of lines. I cannot seek it out with a debugger be ...Show All
