• Smart Device Development Remote process viewer and ActiveSync 4.1

  I have an issue where the Visual Studio 2005 Remote Process Viewer does not work on a Pocket PC 2003 device is connected via USB ActiveSync 4.1. It will connect, transfer the files to the device, and immediately go to the "Disconnected" state. I also have a Windows Mobile 5 device using a Bluetooth COM port, and have a similar issue - the transport copies the files to the device, I get prompted if they are allowable to run, and the device shows a connected status, however, no processes are listed. Connecting to an emulator with Remote Process Viewer works as expected. Strangely enough, the EVC4 Remote Process Viewer works ...Show All

• SQL Server High CPU Usage SSIS Package

  Anyone aware of anything I can look at to improve performance of my SSIS packages i basically have two master packages that call about 15 child package tasks each. All the package tasks are called sequentially and all they do is just load flat files into temporary tables and execute a simple stored proc. Each package tasks check to see if a file is there and if so it processes it else it just ends. The packages are scheduled to run every minute to check for files. If I watch the CPU during execution i can see the two instances of DTSEXEC.exe running and consuming about 25-30% of the CPU. The box that this runs on is a Quad processor with 4 ...Show All
