• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• .NET Development copy field/column from one table to another table using Access object

  I am doing this in VB.Net but using the Access.Application object to do a variety of task. I am trying to figure out how to check to see if a field/column exist in a Access.Application table. I also need to copy a field/column from one table to another table using the Access.Application object. How can this be done Theresa Hi Theresa On your first question, you can see whether a column is there by means of the Database Explorer in your program. Select the database and right click on the tables you want to view and select open table definition. On the second question I also want an ...Show All

• Visual Basic Debug mode reverts to previous level of form

  I have been making a sequence of changes to a form, entering debug mode after a few changes. Suddenly debug mode has stopped displaying recent changes, instead reverting to an ealier version. There are no indications of either compile or runtime errors. This makes it difficult to determine what is causing the problem. Is there some way to make the IDE not use a cached version Hi, Peteg1, Hmm, that’s not one we’ve seen before – my apologies for the inconvenience. You should not be seeing an earlier version of your form if you have no errors in the code, assuming that you’re not choosing Ctrl+F5 or somehow running directly from the dis ...Show All

• Visual C# Focus() problem

  I want to open a windows form and set focus to the first field. There are many panels, group boxes, controls and event handlers in this form and they are apparently interfering with setting focus, which leads to three questions. 1) Is there a sure fire way to set focus to a particular control on load. This particular control is a form being loaded as a showdialog from another control. I've tried calling [control].focus() as the last item in the form_Load event and it does not work. 2) The tab order appears to want to cycle through all controls in a container, like a panel before going to the next panel. I do not want this order. Is ...Show All

• .NET Development How to import the system namespace?

  Hi! I am very new to Javascript and am about to write one of my first scripts. I need to create a variable that holds a unique id, so i have the code: var id = System.Guid.NewGuid(); but i get a compilation error that says that "System is undefined". is it possible to import the System namespace I get syntax error if i simply write: import System; How do i solve this error Uh, silly question so sorry for asking but the error you are showing doesn't equate to anything the JScript.NET compiler (jsc) would pump out. Are you just double clicking on the .js file or are you running it through jsc to ...Show All

• SQL Server deploy shared datasources

  Is there any way to deploy a report to the server and not have to reconfigure its reference to its shared data source For instance, if in the development environment my report is pointing to a data source called "MasterDB", and i deploy the RDL file to the server which has a data source called "MasterDB", it doesn't recognize the server-side data source. It informs me shockingly, inaccurately that " The data source connection information has been deleted. (rsInvalidDataSourceReference)" I have to go into the report properties and re-bind it manually. Any thoughts on how to avoid this unnecessary step - Ian I believe you're rig ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Fuzzy Matching

  Is there any way to use fuzzy lookup functionality (that exists in SSIS) in your .Net code   I want to call a .Net class rather than calling an SSIS package. Thank you. -- AK Thank you  Michel, Jamie, and Darren for clarifying the issue. Yes, as Jamie wrote, the startup time for a SSIS package is quite significant.  I have a project with a relatively big database (3+ million records), and needed to do fuzzy matching initiated from a UI. The response time was seconds, which was bigger than user expected response time. -- AK ...Show All

• .NET Development timeout when using ftp over SSL

I did a trace of the connection and everything seems to work ok, through the authentication process, where the user name and password are passed.  This portion of the trace picks up at that point: - - - - - - - - - - - - - ...Show All
