• SQL Server FTP task fails when run as a scheduled job

  I've created an SSIS package that retrieves a file from an FTP site.  When I create an SQL Agent job to run the package on a regular basis, it fails.  It seems that the password isn't kept (even though I set Remove Passwords to FALSE).  I've looked at the connection string in SQL Agent, and it seems to be missing key information, like the user name and password, but it is unclear what the correct syntax should be.  The error messages are completely unhelpful. Thanks, Warren The default security.protectionlevel property for packages is EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. When SQL Agent calls a p ...Show All

• .NET Development http channel registering

  Hey everyone, I just want to ask a question about the registration of the http channel in config files. I have just fixed a bug in my application where I was getting an error saying that I cannot register the http channel more than once. I understant what it is saying, but I dont know why it would be trying to register it twice in the first place. In my wen.config file (im creating a asp.net app here) I have some elements that define the http channel. Am I correct in saying that everytime a page is loaded the web.config file is loaded and the http channel is registered If so why doesnt it error at this point In my app I have 2 apps, Ap ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deploying Outlook Add-In (after following tutorial Part 2)

  First off, it's worth saying that VSTO 2005 is excellent both as a product and as supported by all of the great articles and samples. Office has become a very important Hosting environment for enterprise applications and VSTO (and the community) is exactly what we need. I just finally got my Outlook Add-In to work with one-click deployment, but I needed to customize the SetSecurity project referenced in the Part 2 Walk-thru. I added a "trustTargetDir" parameter and when "trustTargetDir" is true, then the AddSecurityPolicy method uses "FullTrust" o the targetDir. In my case, I'm using Redemption.dll beca ...Show All

• SQL Server Time series calculation

  Hi, is this "best practice" (adding a separate dimension for time series calculation, like described here: http://blogs.msdn.com/bi_systems/articles/187639.aspx ) still valid for SQL 2005 Or is there any better solution for that I simply don't want to write one MDX per time series calculation (YTD, MTD, ...) per measure...

• Visual Studio Team System "No engine was able to load target DCHInstall.exe."

  I've downloaded the FxCop 1.32 Build: 50628.0 from your web site. Following error occures when I add the VC++ based project to the target. "No engine was able to load target DCHInstall.exe." Application was developed on following environment. Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Version 1.1.4322 Microsoft Developer Environment 2003 Version 7.1.3088 I do not see the reason for this error and hence don't know how to get rid of it. David's right on the money here: FxCop can only analyze the managed elements of a mixed mode c++ binary (or an entirely managed assembly generated by the c++ compiler).

• Visual C# Logging Feature w/o passing a streamwriter

  I have written a program with several classes, and several methods that objects of each class performs. Now, I want to create a detailed logging feature, that will produce a single text file each time the program runs. I want to be able to add log entries from any method in any class in the program. What I don't want to do is, for each entry, open the file, write the entry, flush, and close the file. I also don't want to pass a streamwriter to every method. I thought of one way, because this is a console app. I could just push all logging messages out to the console, then simply call the program with a DOS redirect. I was hoping for somet ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Tips For Resolving WWF Build Errors - Beta 1

  So the WWF tools for VS.NET 2005 have some 'issues' that can rear their head as strange build errors. The symptom is that your solution, which has no syntax errors at all, sometimes fails to build and just spouts random bollocks. What seems to be happening is some wierd caching of types by the designer- reason being is that the designer has to build your custom activities at design time so that you get a nice design experience. So here are a few tips if you are seeing wierd build errors. #1. If you are closing VS.NET and/or your solution, make sure that all designer and code documents are closed. #2. If it's behaving strangely have ...Show All

• Windows Forms viewing changes in datagridview

  using vb 2005, i have a datagridview setup through the wizard. The datagridview is strictly for viewing purposes only, no editing is done via the actual datagridview. All changes are done via code, however then the datagridview does not reflect the changes until i restart the application.

It could be datatable in dataset and you may be filling it using data adapter or table adapter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Small Orginizations [RUP OR MSF]

  What do you people think …For Small Business…organizations having lesser number of people on hand What is the best way to adopt Process Improvement MSF or RUP I would suggest MSF for Agile Software Development but then I am biased. However, I will present my argument for it. The MSF approach minimizes the amount of overhead necessary to develop and ship a product. When MSF is combined with Visual Studio Team System, the overhead becomes even smaller. Since MSF is agile, it allows maximum flexibility for the team. I invite you to take a look at the latest version (an even newer version will be available on the MSDN web site next w ...Show All
