• SQL Server FTP authentication information does not persist when deploying packages

  I am trying to deploy a SSIS package which includes a FTP task. It works fine on the machine it was developed . When deploying the package on a production server, all other config changes work, but the FTP task is failing, with authentication error. any help on how to persist the data would be appreciated thanks Maybe it's because the password was stored encrypted and couldn't be decrypted on the new machine... This is quite common and happens often when moving a package from machine to machine. As far as I know you can get around this by using package passwords instead of the normal encryption. You can also save a packag ...Show All

• SQL Server Does SQL Server 2005 have something like setup.iss?

  Is there a way to capture the steps in a manual installation of SQL Server 2005 into a file similar to setup.iss in 2000 If there is, it's not readily apparent. I've modified a template.ini file and used it for a successful installation. It's just that it would be more convenient to replay a perfectly executed manual installation. It isn't always obvious which selections in a manual install correspond to specific keywords in template.ini. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista error accessing \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib

  Hi, I am debugging an issue where a javascript automation client withing an embedded web control is trying to access an automation object on VISTA beta2. In order to do so it needs to be able to read the corresponding typelib entry in the registry. Scenario 1> If i run the client as a regular user (Admin account with Limited privledges) then my app runs fine and i can access the methods in the automation object. Scenario 2>If i run the same client with elevated privledges (basically right click on the short cut and choose to run as admin) then the client it seems cannot get access to the the registry key for the typ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Making a program perform tray icon + com tasks in background without service

  I am interested in porting my KeyStater ( http://keystater.berlios.de ) program to .NET (Originaly written in VB4). The main problem I will be getting is not getting the COM object to work but rather making the programs tray icon update even if the program is not in the foreground. The only viable way I could think about doing this is to make the program a service however VB.NET Express doesn't support making a service and since I am writing the installer using AutoIt I don't know the required command to make the service. Is there a way I can always get the tray icon to update even if it is not in the foreground without making a service I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Workspace.PendAdd, the EnvDTE and "Refresh Status"

  Hi all, I'm running into an issue doing a batch add of files into a project using the DTE, with a project that is under TFS version control. I'm trying to do this from within a custom add-in. Specifically, I have hundreds of files which I need to add to my project, which I do so using: DTE.Project.ProjectItems.AddFromFile(<filename>); Unfortunately, TFS is "grabbing" each file individually as I add them to the project, and displaying the "Adding File" progress dialog for each one - this is greatly degrading performance. In an attempt to resolve this I figured that doing a "batch add" using a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Feb CTP 2006, XAML Designer not available in VS 2005

  Hi, I installed the WPF Feb CTP 2006 version. Apart from the namespace bugs, i have run into a peculiar problem where the xaml designer (Cider) is not shown in the VS 2005. Is this by design or is it a bug I dont have the "Design" tab shown when i open the XAML file. I also tried to give the "open with.." option. But Cider was not listed. Can you tell me where the cider application resides. I checked it in my Visual studio 8\Common7\IDE\Cider folder but only dll's are available. Am i looking at the right directory and what is the cider application file name Is there any strict sequence of steps that needs to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Desperate for help - getting my Add-In to run

  Hi; Ok, I have built two new test Add-Ins, one under VS 2003/.net 1.1 and one under VS 2005/.net 2.0. Both run fine on my system (the .net 1.1 requiring winword.exe.config set to 1.1).
