I was getting this error first “namespace attribute of an import must not match the real value”. I had a group schema, that had a repeating record of a second schema. That second schema did not have any Target Namespace, to match what a trading partner had given us. This StackOverflow article reminded me that […]
I had this case again today, where I got “Root element is missing”. The code was working, I made some changes, and boom, an existing code path started blowing up. It was actually a trace routine, where I had the following code: <pre> xmlDoc = msgWhatever; //then I passed as a parameter: […]
Sometimes, you might need to get the SQL Server Name of the SQL Server where the BizTalkMgmtDB The C# code below, uses the registry to get that server name, and also builds a connection screen to some database on that server (where you pass the Database Name as a parameter). MgmtDBServer (in the rk.GetValue below), […]
There was a typo below, the first time is using LINQ, the second one is using Directory.GetFiles (then getting the time on each file within a loop). Big Difference, right? The last one is 41 times slower. The difference was not really using LINQ, but using the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles instead of the combination of Directory.GetFiles and […]
I got this error: ORA-01843 Oracle date format picture ends before converting entire input string The variable fileDateTime was a defined as a normal C# DateTime.

I’m in the process of writing a C# program that will validate field sizes (and maybe data types) against a SQL table. I need to traverse through each element and get the element value, the next step will be to validate it each element value. The code below will “walk the tree” structure of the […]
I have a SQL/Trace, and it’s a requirement to each night delete all rows in the Trace over x days old. This is typically called a purge program, or mass delete. If you don’t limit the data, then you can knock the lights out of SQL. Below is a modification to code I found here: […]
I was working with an old third party tool that only supported VBScript for programming. I needed to email a file if the file had more than one row. All the CSV (Comma Separated Value) files created had the CSV headers on the first line. Basically, this was an error/exception report, so I only wanted […]
Below is just a code fragment that creates a date useful for putting on a filename. It’s not particular elegant, and there are other ways to do the same thing (for example using the PAD function). But it works and it’s easy to read and change. dtYear = year(date) dtMonth = Right(String(2,"0") & Month(date), 2) dtDay […]
Yes, it’s the year 2015, and I still find myself creating VBScripts from time to time. My client has an old server that uses a third party tool to do database extracts, and it supports only VBScript. So we have scripts that email CSV (Comma Separated Value) extracts, and/or copy them to various folders on […]
