• Visual Studio Team System Vision / Scope Level

  In regards to creating a vision / scope document, I understand that this is done at the application or solution level. However, the MSF template for the Functional Specifications document includes a Vision / Scope section as well. A Functional Specifications document is written for any new feature that is being introduced into the application. It makes sense to me that a Vision statement should be written for new functionality. This would imply "shared vision" which I think is essential and would also help ensure that the functionality that is designed conforms to the shared vision. So my question is, how many of you actual ...Show All

• SQL Server Registry to store configuration values ?

  I try to store a SSIS-configuration value in the registry. But it's failed. I get a warning, that the registry-key is not found. What is the syntax I have searched in BO,MSDN and  Google/Internet ==> nothing. There is no example.     The syntax of how to specify the name of the registry key is straightforward. See BOL: ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/uirfsql9/html/212e52e7-27a7-48bb-8bad-34aa290d2003.htm If you're asking how to define the syntax of a configuration (i.e. The thing that should be IN the registry key) then that's a bit more difficult.

• SQL Server Get FlatFile Columns through ConnectionManager

  The CreatePackage sample provided with SQL Server programmatically creates a package that has a source type of OLEDB to a flat file destination. I am building exactly the opposite, source=flatfile, destination=SQL Server. I expect that will be a more common scenario is using SSIS. The problem I have is populating the source columns in the FlatFileSource connection manager programmatically. I know it can be done because it happens when you build a package in Visual Studio. What I'd like to know is how to do it programmatically in the object model. How can I interrogate the datasource through the connection manager to find out what columns ...Show All
