• Visual Studio Team System Web Testing - When used in Load Test, nothing written to System

• Smart Device Development Why does the new project wizard work this way?

  There are a couple of things I don't understand about the new project wizard (I have only tested the Win32 Smart Device Project variety). 1. Why can't I make an empty static library project The checkbox is grayed out and a ReadMe file is always created. Not very useful at best and annoying when I am moving existing code to VS2005. 2. Why can't I choose not to use precompiled header files if I am making an executable The Microsoft way of doing ...Show All

Is this wa ...Show All

• .NET Development SMTP Windows Authentication in System.Net.MailMessage

• SQL Server SSIS Package Security

  In DTS we had an Owner password and User Password. The User pasword allowed someone to run and schedule the package, but not edit the contents. Owner allowed full /designer access. I like the two levels of password security. What is the equivalent of this in SSIS I can only seem to get ProtectionLevel security to work with a single password that seems to be required to run, deploy and execute. Looks like an all or nothing proposition unless i ...Show All
