• SQL Server Using fussy lookup in sql server 2005 integration services

  i have 4 different databases, in each one i have a table of customers i want to combine the 4 tables of customers from the 4 databases in a new table with eliminating similar records The UNION ALL component can be used to combine the 4 datasets into one. You can then use the SORT component to eliminate duplicates. If you want to eliminate duplicates that are similar but not the same then you should look to use the FUZZY GROUPING component rather than SORT. There is plenty of online material that shows how to use it. The real trick is to work out the level of similarity that gives you the results that you need. -Jamie ...Show All

• Visual C# BUFFER a page into the cache before loading page into browser

  If I am not mistaken (but please do correct me if I am) a webpage is buffered into the cache of the machine before it is loaded into the browser. Question: (if the above statement is true) How can I manipulate(read, write) the stored page in the cache before it can be loaded into the browser. NOTE: "It would be in C# way if possible. " Please help me in this, I am trying to manipulate a page before it is loaded into my self-made browser.

• Windows Forms Is visual studio bootstrapper and clickonce bootstrapper the same thing?

  Is visual studio bootstrapper and clickonce bootstrapper the same thing Well, let me qualify that... There is a Visual Studio Bootstrapper associated with the Express SKUs of VS that is unrelated to ClickOnce bootstrapping. But you will also see in many places the Bootstrapper for ClickOnce referred to as the Visual Studio 2005 Bootstrapper. The official name for the ClickOnce related Bootstrapper is the Generic Bootstrapper, but that is not very descriptive either... ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 issue with Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS

  Hi, I've a web application developed in ASP.NET which is hosted in a Windows 2000 server with only Integrated Windows Authentication enabled. This is to make use of Active Directory Services. Now, everything works fine with IE6. But in IE7, I get the Page Not found message.

• Smart Device Development Smart device web service client

  Hi! I can't get web service client working using Visual Studio 2003 (either VB.NET or VC#). I created a web service in Java, and published to Glassfish (aka Sun App Server 9).

• Software Development for Windows Vista Task Pages integrated within the Control Panel

  Hi, I am developing a control panel applet specifically for Windows Vista. I need this applet tightly integrated within the UI of the control panel, such that when the applet runs, it inherits the area, look and feel of the control panel. It will have custom pages that live within the area of the control panel UI when you navigate into the applet. All of this is in line with the Windows Vista User Experience Guidlines . My question is: How do I do all of these things discussed above and in the User Experience Guidelines It is clear that the intent is for ISVs to be able to accomplish these things based on their appearance in the guidelines, but I have not found any documentation regarding the actual implementation of such things. Can you ...Show All

• Windows Forms Help with NumericUpDown

  Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this. I have a calculated result that i send to a numericUpDown. The value inserted in the first NumericUpDown is then collected and prcessed further. The reason why I'm using the numericupdown is that the reults will be compared to a "real value" and the user should be able to correct this since the result will be further processed. My question is how can I capture the correction, i.e. if the calculated value is 200 but the user correct it by using the up and down buttons to let's say 203 I want to get the value 3. Does anyone have a solution Thanks, //OPH In my opinion, that would complicate things, however, to do this, you need two stores, storeU ...Show All
