• SQL Server Placing Database under Visual Source Safe Source Control

  I have been trying to evaluate how SQL Server 2005 integrates with VSS. The only thing I can find is the ability to place a database 'solution' under source conrtol and that basically puts create scripts and change scripts under source control. Ultimately that is nearly worthless. What I would really rather do is place the DATABASE under source control so that a user would have to check out a table if they wanted to make a change. I would ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Connection Object and Expressions

  I have been writing a custom source adapter that uses a file connection within the connection manager. If I hard-code a specific file then the component works. However if I use a file connection that has an expression defined which updates the connection, for example when you have a for-each loop looping over a set files. The file connection doesn’t seem to re-evaluate expression each time you access the file connection via the code. Is there s ...Show All

  I have written a set of custom business objects along with a collection to hold these objects that can be bound to any UI control. To accomplish this, I wrote my collection class to derive from BindingList<T>. As my custom business object can of course contain custom child objects, does each business object have to implement IEditableObject, or will the generic BindingList class take care of this for me In other words, if the collection de ...Show All
