• SQL Server Using VB.Net for Applications and the VBA Editor from Custom Components?

  Hi, Is it possible to make use of VB.Net for Applications and the VBA editor from your own Custom Transform Components (like the script component does) I would like to create a component that generates boiler-plate VBA code and that then allows developers to add their own specialised code in certain methods using the editor (just like the script component) If so, is there any documentation anywhere on how to go about this Thanks in advance, Lawrie I believe you'll have to sign up for the Visual Studio Industry Partners (VSIP) program and downlaod the VSIP SDK. Here's a link to the program: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/partners/default.aspx . ...Show All

• SQL Server Hiding columns until toggled

  Hi all, Sorry if this question is a bit basic but I'm fairly new to reporting Services, I've searched for the answer but cannot find a definative answer. I have created a table report with three groups, Product Group, Product Type and Location. When the report is run there is obviously no data displayed in the report except for the first group, Product Group. What I would like to do is hide the columns without data until the first group is expanded and so on with all three groups. Is this possible and if so how Humbly yours, Chris Take a look at these forum threads; I think they can help you out! http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=519430&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Multiplexing??

  Hi Folks I've been a Scenarist author for sometime and now want to jump into HD-DVD authoring. Was wondering where to find a third party multiplexing tools once the programming is done Thanks - I'm sure this is the first of many posts here! Eric You can create and simulate interactive content on a PC with the Jumpstart package, but you can't create a real disc without a multiplexer and formatter / burner / replicator / etc. I don't know what The Elephant's Dream was multiplexed with; sorry. (Also, please be careful with your newlines... the forums don't truncate extra whitespace at the end...) ...Show All

  I developed some SSIS packages in SQL2005.When developing , The connect is set with Server A. And i know ,later we are supposed to move to SERVER B.but B's IP and machine name are both unknown for developers. The deployment guys will be cahrge in that. what's easiest way for me to tell the deployment guy to add a connection to SERVER B after the SSIS packages have been developed any suggestion Thanks in advance. Hahhahhha~~~~ Sometimes it‘s really weird! 2 whole days, I can’t figure out how to change the connection when deploying SSIS to another Server. Today, I was so disappointed that I haven’t got the right way to work it round. Before the shift is off, I fall a snap. And after snap, I used the XML spy to mo ...Show All

• Windows Forms deploy nonav uninstall silently

  ok Geniuses, i want to create a program that uninstalls silently For example, there is a program out there called nonav which uninstalls symantec antivirus completely however there are prompts in that program which i want to take away, and have it take the default prompts anyone know where i can begin Thanks There are instructions for doing both halves of what you are talking about (upgrading enterprise versions of SAV) at http://www.sharpebusinesssolutions.com/savce_upgrade.htm . This information seems to be pretty hard to come by for some reason. Symantec seems to refuse to provide support for recent versions of SAV 10, but makes it exceedingly difficult to upgrade large populations of machines reliably. The i ...Show All

• Visual Basic vb build

• Visual Studio Team System TFS project deletion and Team Explorer

  Following the MS Walkthrough on "Creating a New Team Project" I created the AdventureWorks team project. After messing around with it for a while I deleted the project from TFS using the Team Explorer (or so I thought). Today starting their tutorial over I tried to create the Adventureworks team project and got the Error " TF30321: The name you typed is already in use for another team project on the Team Foundation Server..." So I didn't delete it after all! How do I delete this project from TFS TIA, Barkingdog You don't use tfsdeleteproject for deleting a subfolder. You can use tf.exe command for that. It will look something like this ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Unable to add workflow from Designer on upgraded sites

  I have a site collection that was upgraded from 2.0 and it seems like the workflow functionality is busted. I just wasted five hours trying to figure out why Designer would attempt to setup the workflow at first, but then only return the message that the site does not support workflows from Designer. Just for the heck of it i tried doing the same type of workflow on the 3.0 Central Admin site and it worked with no issues. I get no useful error message from Designer or Sharepoint and all processes and jobs claim to have run sucessfully. Of course there is absolutely no documentation that I can find that even mentions possible configuration issues or fixes for this or any errors with Designer. Is there anyone who can point me in the ri ...Show All

• Visual C++ strcpy_s causes app shutdown

  I am updating some managed code to use the new string handling functions in VC8. I changed calls from strcpy to strcpy_s as shown in the code snippet below. The second call to strcpy_s causes the app to shutdown. No exception is thrown, no error code is returned. The app shuts down with exit code 0xC0000409 as the only clue. This is listed as a STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN in ntstatus.h. Of course it's telling me that it doesn't believe there is enough room in the buffer to accomodate the string. The error goes away if I change to strcat_s, or if I adjust the buffer size argument to take into account the length of the string that was previously copied in. Questions: How does strcpy_s know some of the buffer has been used Why ...Show All

• .NET Development Socket.BeginReceive different on W2K vs XP

  Help !!! I have a VB.NET (2003) application that listens for data packets of 100 bytes on a TCP port, it's been working perfectly for ages on XP and W2K3 machines. I've installed it on a W2k machine and I am getting problems it receives the 1st 16 packets perfectly on the 17th attempt beginReceive doesn't return the full 100 bytes, I have run a packet sniffer and it seems to be at the point of the TCP packet segmentation, but I have performed the operation on XP and it looks fine.

• Visual Studio The report definition for report 'xxx' has not been specified

  Hello, I have to confess that I never did anything with reporting services, reports, or whatsoever. For a rather huge database application (based on sql express) I thought it might be best to do the printing with local reports, which I planed to bind to the objects, I already used as data layer in my project. I created a simple report (just a table, with two fields), bound the report to the ReportViewer-Control, set the bindingsource-properties in form load. But the only thing I see is this error message "The report definition for report 'xxx' has not been specified" So: What *is* a report definition and how *do* I specify it Are there any infos I can get somewhere, to learn more about the whole concept Thanks, Klaus ...Show All
