• Visual Studio Team System Scripting out user-defined types

  When tables are scripted out in VS the underlying types are produced rather than the user-defined types. Is there any way to change this behavior We would rather not lose that information if possible. Andrew, Your reasoning for why it is not scripted out as the UDDT in VS 2005 is reasonable. However, the SQL Server Management Studio, when scripting out the create, uses the UDDT. It appears that the two development groups were not consistent in their reasoning. Ken ...Show All

• Smart Device Development LDAP Authenication on WM 5.0

  I am looking for a solution for an application to authenicate a user against LDAP from a WM 5.0 PDA. After much research I have only found one solution using PEINVOKE and WLDAP32.DLL. My problem is that I am not a C++ programmer, my experience is with VB. Converting the LDAP structure to a VB compatiable structure and making the calls has me scratching my head. Can anybody help with my problem Hi Paul To question 1: Yes, if the OS design on your device supports LDAP wldap32.dll sould be located in the \Windows directory. To get this on the device you have to add the LDAP support to the OS Design - > yes this means rebuilding the platform. To question 2: As far ad I can see you ha ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat File to Relational Schema

  Hello- I am a complete newbie with SSIS. I started working with Flat Files today and have made some progress. I have a task that requires me to pull out data from a | delimeted list with 160+ columns in a row. I am working with Movie and Entertainment data. So each movie has a number of actors associated with it. For example: MOVIEID|Zoolander|...|...|...|...|..................|Owen Wilson|Ben Stiller|Will Ferrel|...|...|...............| I would like to take all the actors out of the middle of this long line of columns and place them in an Actors table with the movieID. However, when I look at Flat File Source, all I see is my X number of columns in the one row for all the actors (actor1-20). Is there a way to make a new flat file that ref ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can I get the text Range in smart tag Recognize2 method?

  I am writing a smart tag recognizer for Word 2007. In the Recognize2 method, I want to get the location of the text so I can recognize different tokens in different parts of the document. However, I can't find any way to get a Range object in the Recognize2 method. Is this possible For example, I only want to recognize certain tokens when they are in a table. If I could get a Range object for the Text, I could use Range.Information[wdWithInTable] to test if the text is in a table. What about deleting the private smart tag and not replacing it with anything That's what I would do if the smart tag doesn't match my criteria to create a public smart tag. Would that cause the Recognizer to re-fire and crea ...Show All

• SQL Server 2005 SP2 Install Failed, and Now SQL Server is Unusable.

  Hi, I have a problem with my SQL Server 2005 instance after trying to install SP2. My machine has a default instance of SQL server 2005, and 2 instances of SQL 2005 express. I installed Express SP2 and this installed without a hitch. Then I installed SP2 for SQL Server 2005. After the install, all the components had installed correctly except the Database Engine, which had a status of failed. I did not investigate why, I simply re-ran the install. It failed again, so I investigated further and I found out it failed because it had not been able to start the service VSS Writer. I looked at the service, and found I had changed the user which gives the service rights to start. I changed this back to Local System so the service c ...Show All
