• SQL Server Renaming table column by lookup to define source definition

  Hi, I'm looking for a way to redefine in a table the columns refered by another table to use as source (Exel / Flat file) withinh SSIS SQL 2005. Any idea ( mailto:cattel2000@icqmail.com Marco, I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. If you can explain the scenario further, it will help to understand the problem. But, if you are looking to update the meta-data of columns of a table at run-time, you may use "Derived column" task and 'replace column_name' option. You may use appropriate cast operators in the expression to match the data-types, if required. If the meta-data are incompatible, you will be better-off using 'add ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSF 3.1 is still far superior for enterprise project mgmt and delivery

  As I  learn more about VSTS 2005, I am concerned that the software can not replace power of MSF 3.1. Remember, MSF is a Microsoft methodology proven over years to deliver  IT projects on spec and schedule. VSTS  based solution framework 4  is more suited for workgroup projects  and small teams. It is not suitable for enterprise wide  project  which definitely  needs  traditional six team roles.  Very existence of six team roles forces right team play throughout software development cycle. Microsoft should refocus MSF 3.1 as template driven enterprise framework. It is tool independent,  a ...Show All

• Windows Forms FormBorderStyle BUG? -- Nudge

  I hesitate to make a quick call here, but to all appearences, there is a bug in the implementation of the FormBorderstyle property of forms. The bug is that when you toggle from the "None" value to the "Sizeable" value, the display of the form does not conform to the metrics reported for ClientSize, Height, ClientRectangle, Bounds, etc...the form's display does not correspond to what it thinks its state is... The sample program included is very simple. It places a panel on a form and a button, neither have any Docking or anchoring (there positions are arbitrary). The panel had a 1-D border so that its position is easy ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro RSA Public/Private Key Encryption in VFP 9.0

  Hi, I need to be able to decrypt data pulled from a MySQL table encrypted with RSA public/private key encryption within a FoxPro application.  I am currently using the FoxPro Foundation Class known as _cryptapi as a wrapper to the CryptoAPI interface.  The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out how to decrypt a RSA encrypted string of data.  I know that the _cryptapi class provided by Microsoft uses the Microsoft Base Cryptographic Service Provider which in itself uses RSA public key encryption algorithms, but for some reason I am having the hardest time finding the methods that support this in the _cryptapi fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Interactive Sort within a Matrix

  Can't seem to make any kind of interactive sort work within a Matrix. Is it possible I've got the interactive sort to work in a Table. In a Matrix, the sort buttons come up, but they don't have any affect on the presentation of the data (columns). In the matrix, I think I've used every possible combination of Current Scope, Choose Data Region or Grouping, Detail Scope and the second Choose Data Region or Grouping. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. I'm wondering - how did you make the interactive sort work within a table Perhaps my problem is that my table is a drill-down.

• Software Development for Windows Vista problems while registering .Net assembly as COM interop

  Hi. I'm writing a plugin for some windows service (IAS). The service is written on C++ (not managed), but the exact plugin code must be written on C#. So I wrote C# module and registred it as COM server. C++ plugin creates C# server instance by standard CoCreateInstance call. In test application everything works ok. But when I run it under service process, C++ plugin hungs up on CoCreateInstance call. The most interesting thing is that it works if I terminate service process and start it again. After restarting computer the problem is replicated. I tried to put the CoCreateInstance call in seperate thread for the case if it takes to ...Show All
