• .NET Development SAPI - missing?

  First off, sorry if this is somewhere else in the forum but I canot find it and at my wits end. First off, I have been beta testing Vista since Beta1, now have RC1 and have the Voice Recogition working. I am now trying to get my new Mac Pro with XP sp2 so that the Voice Recognition is working and having issues. I have a vs2005 project that has VR and TTS and works in Vista RC1, yet I have installed the .net 3.0 framework and all 4 items.

• SQL Server A WTF moment with SSRS....

  ...no, 'WTF' does not stand for 'Windows Transaction Framework,' LOL. I am writing to complain about what I believe is the annoying behavior of SSRS 2005 SP1. Specifically, I am trying to invoke a very simple MS SQL Server 2005 stored procedure as the data source of a report. This stored proc has an input parameter of type bit . The corresponding report parameter is type Boolean . When prompted for an input value when running the report, I enter a 0 or a 1. Much to my dismay, the SSRS IDE raises an error along the lines of '...error encountered when converting string value to Boolean.' For sake of argument, let's say that my stored proc's parameter were of the int type. I would then be prompted for a whole number parameter value, which I w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Duplicate items are not supported by the "Resources" parameter error when building project

  Hello, While building our current project using Visual studio 2005 we stumbled on this error, === Error 16 The item "xxx" was specified more than once in the "Resources" parameter. Duplicate items are not supported by the "Resources" parameter === we traced the issue down to resource file naming convention differences between Windows Vista and Windows XP ie, for a given form, if we include chinese traditional and chinese simplified resources, On Vista the resx files must be named with zh-HANS / zh-HANT , using zh-CHS/zh-CHT VS2005 will choke On XP the resx files must be named with zh-CHS/zh-CHT, using zh-HANS/zh-HANT VS2005 will choke This is really causing trouble, as we develop both in XP and ...Show All

  I have 'help' set to 'local only' in Visual Studio 2005. how may I verify the help content source and version that I am viewing in VS 2005 I had expected to see the MSDN source vintage listed in the 'Combined Help Collection Manager' (perhaps as selected & grayed out, yet displaying versioning information).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Programmatic Mex Binding

  Is it possible to expose a Mex binding programmatically In order to enable Mex the only way I can see is to use Config file settings and while this works in most siutations I have an Interop Scenario where using Config files is quite a bit of a pain. Is there a way to have a host expose these endpoints I can't seem to find the Binding class to use. Also, in this same interop app I can't seem to get Mex to work even with the .Config file. < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " utf-8 " > < configuration > < system.serviceModel > < services > < service behaviorConfiguration = " WcfFoxServiceBehaviors " name = " WcfFoxServ ...Show All

• SQL Server alter table - change time evaluation

  Hi, I have a table with 70 million records. I want to change the datatype of one of the columns from int to decimal(18,3). What is the best way of doing it and how can I evaluate the time change before I start and make the change thank you, Tomer ..assuming you want to know how long the operation would take....this varies massively by table definition + indexes + hardware + load you could use SELECT INTO to create a table of one million records and add indexes identical to those on the production table. Then drop the index on the int column on that table, execute an ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN to change the datatype and rebuild the index. Then multiply the result by 70 though that's o ...Show All

• SQL Server Semiadditive

  Hi, I'm attempting to set up a measure with semiadditive property of LastNotEmpty. This works fine along the time dimension - except it is also using LastNotEmpty along the other (non time) dimensions. Is this working the way it is intended - or do I need to set up dimensions / measures a different way Hi Mosha, Thanks for the note - yes you are correct - I had not set up the time dimension correctly, I've fixed that & now it is aggregating correctly. regards ...Show All

• SQL Server Easiest and performance effective way to store blob into varchar column

  Hi, My package dumps the errors into a table. The problem is, it couldnt dump Error Output column to a varchar field. I have added an script component in between to transform to string but no success. I tried ErrorOutput.GetBlobData(0, ErrorOutput.Length) but when I query the database, it says "System.Byte[]' I will appreciate the responses to this post. Thankyou, Fahad Okay, so you redirect error rows out of a Flat File Source. The columns that get output have the same data type as defined in the flat file source. I don't understand where the talk of BLOB and BYTE comes in. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Norton like Taskbar icon

  Hi. I was wondering if it is possible to make an icon like Norton has on the taskbar (Not the tray icon), the yellow one on it's left. It is directly a button on the task bar. Is there an API function (win32) for it Or maybe even a .NET function Thanks. Running programs shown in the taskbar are shown on buttons. These buttons have an icon and the program name. I'm assuming your talking about this icon in particular. This is simply the icon for the application. Go to solution Explorer -> My Project -> Application Tab and set the icon to point to a valid icon file (.ico) extension. If you dont have a valid icon, you can create one and there are loads of free tools that enable you to create valid icon files to use - ...Show All
