• SQL Server Some .Net assemblies cannot be referenced in script task

  I'm creating a script task that needs to reference the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server assemblies, but I'm unable to setup a reference. (Note: the Team Foundation assemblies are part of the VSTS SDK installation.) When designing the script, if I select Project, Add Reference, the .net assemblies for the Microsoft.TeamFoundation namespace are not listed -- even though the assemblies do show up if do the same in a Visual Studio.Net project for C# or VB. I've also tried to add a reference in a Custom Component Set -- View, Object Browser, Browse, Edit Custom Component Set, and selected a specific assembly. But I get the following error: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio for Applications ------------------------ ...Show All

• SQL Server Convert MS Excel to XML and then insert all data records into MS SQL

  Hi, I am developing a web page for users to input data records. I am seeking the fastest way that users can upload their MS Excel files and the system can help data insertion into one data table. I know XML can insert data records into SQL database easily. Could any one give me some ideas how to perform this issue Thanks a lot. If you are using excel, you don't need to transform to xml. You can load data directly from excel file. INSERT YourTable(...) SELECT ...

• Visual Studio Express Editions Checkbox Checkstate

  How would you go about saving the checkstate of a checkbox Like while the program is running you check a checkbox and the next time the program is run it retains the checkstate. See my post at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=717425&SiteID=1 which describes how to do simple settings. (Save and restore.)

• Windows Forms Restore combobox items

  I've got 2 comboboxes, cmbStatT and cmbEndT respectively, both with items added manually at design time. These comboboxes have the same number of items that are of the same value, these are time values to be precise. Depending on the index of the selected item in cmbStatT, I would like to remove a range of items in cmbEndT. If a user selects an item at index 3 (09:00 AM, starting from 07:30 AM till 16:00 PM), cmbEndT should only show items from index 4 (09:30 AM, starting from 07:30 AM till 16:00 PM). Meaning remove items in cmbEndT starting at cmbStartT.SelectedIndex back to index 0. This works just fine the first time. 09:30 AM of cmbEndT is now at index 0 and the user decides to change the value in cmbStartT say, to 10:00 AM which ...Show All

• Visual Studio Build Standalone EXE

  I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I cant find anywhere more suitable. In Visual Studio 2005 is there any way to actually make just a standalone exe file, like in visual studio 6.0 where you just go to Build or Make EXE or something similar All I can find is the publishing section which creates a setup.exe which then "installs" the program and checks for updates. I just want to make one exe file that can be run from any PC anywhere and in visual studio 6.0 this was no problem at all yet I have spent hours searching and am still unable to do this in VS 2005. Thanks I have done that and it still creates a setup.exe that says checking for updates and all that. I just want one exe that runs the program I have c ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Returning an array of types defined with a data contract.

  I have a method that looks like: ReturnType[] A(RequestType request) The ReturnType is defined in the data contract. I am not sure how to define a message contract for an array of types defined with data contract. I think that is why I am getting the following error: The operation 'A' could not be loaded because it has a parameter or return type of type System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message or a type that has MessageContractAttribute and other parameters of different types. When using System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message or types with MessageContractAttribute, the method must not use any other types of parameters. The request type (RequestType) is defined in the service contract with [MessageContract] etc. I think what I need ...Show All

• Visual C# Call Method by Name

  How do you call(inside the class itself) a method of a class using its string name Something like: for(n=0; n<10; n++) {"MyMethod" + n} The Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll assembly has the CallByName method . Hope it doesn't turn you off too much but it *is* the power of .NET to have that available. To use it, you'll have to add a reference to the assembly... ...Show All
