  I am currently experimenting with a custom activity. We have a number of business rule objects which implement various, relatively complex data validation rules. The custom activity allows these business rule objects to be assigned to the activity and for parameters to be assigned as part of a workflow that links together a number of these business rule classes into a sequential [potentially brancing] workflow. So I basically have: BRActivity ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to remove items from a sorted list in ListBox

  In an application in Visual Basic 6, I add items (which include dates) one at a time by using AddItem, and display them in a ListBox. Works great.

• SQL Server Parent Package Variable visibility when designing packages

  I've created an SSIS package that uses parent package variables at several steps in the data flow. However, those parent package variables are only visible during runtime, making debugging the package practically impossible. Let me give you a simplified example: In the parent package, I have a string variable named "sqlLookup" that looks like this: "SELECT * from tblTest WHERE city = " + @city Also in the parent pac ...Show All
