• SQL Server ADO.NET Source Custom Properties - Documentation Wrong?

  Ok, so I've looked near and far and have found nothing but info that says data flow properties can not be changed at runtime....then I see in this in the SSIS documentation under ADO.NET Source Custom Properties: SQLCommand String The SQL statement that the ADO.NET source uses to extract data.

• SQL Server nsInstance.Initialize errors out

  Hello,   I apologize for this total newb question. I recently purchased Shyam Pather’s book on SQLNS and am currently working through chapter 5. I hit a snag on page 149. Everything runs great until the call to nsInstance.Initialize in AddSubscribers.vbs. I verified that the registry keys are there for the MusicStore instance.

The error I am getting from the Initialize call is: The registry entries for the specified instance of Notification Services could not be found. Any suggestions would be great.

If you need to package up as an MSI you are going to either upgrade to a higher version, or look at some of the third party installers. If the application is only small why n ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB / Excel dyanmically filling a list box in a cell

  Silly question I know, but it has been forever since I coded and I am desparate.  I have a spreadsheet in which I want to dynamically fill a (cell) list box based on a value selected in another (cell) list box.  I am calling it a cell list box because I am not actually using a vb control but instead have a cell list box (via the cell validation) method.  I can get the correct position of the cell and I can add a value to the correct cell based on an "If" statement but I can't seem to dynamically fill the same cell via a range of values versus just a singular value.  Help!  Hey there...
