• SQL Server Cross Package Configuration Files

  Configuration files are working great for me when I run a package "stand-alone". However, when one package executes another package I am having problems. Assume the following two packages (each having connection info in a config file): foo (with connection A - contained in foo.config) bar (with connection B - contained in bar.config) The package foo executes package bar. Where would I have to modify the connection information for connection B, so that foo would use this new connection information Thanks, Scott There's 2 ways you *could* workaround this. 1) Store your ConnectionString in a variable (called ...Show All

• SQL Server What are user instances?

  Hello, I want to know whats the difference between managing the databse with management studio or directly putting the MDF file on the app_data folder in visual studio 2005. I tried to put one MDF file and tells me that users instances are not enabled. If I put an mdf file onto my project it will be part of the installer and it will automatically install my database on the remote server If not why its useful if I can go to server explorer and see all my databases, tables and so on.

  MS Excel XP on Windows 2000 fails to connect to OLAP 2005 Cube with the OLAP 9 Provider. Excel gives the error: <initialisering datasource failed>.

• Visual Studio Team System Adding users/ groups with "/" char in the caption of the name

  Hi, I am running Team foundation RTM. When I try to add windows domain users to one of the security groups I get the error: "Team Foundation Server could not resolve the user 'XXXXX/XXXX'. The user or group might be a member of a different domain , or the server might not have access to that domain. Verify the domain membership of the server and any domain trusts".

• Visual Studio Express Editions Books, tutorials of VC++ Express Edition for newbies

  Hi guys, Since VC++ 2005EE does not ship with MFC/ATL, this makes most of VC++/MFC books irrelevant.  The sample codes and tutorials on MSDN are plenty, but few apply to Express Edition. So my question is where can I find good books, tutorials to accelerate my pace in learning VC++ Express I remember Charles Petzold's "Programming Windows" is entirely focused on Windows API. Is it still apply to Win32 SDK programming Leonard Hi Leonard, I recommend you start from STL to Windows API.  In this context,  STL samples  from  MSDN would be helpful.

  Hi. I'm trying to capture Deadlock Graph in profiler. I've checked it in the event list along with Event:Deadlock. I generate a deadlock... The Deadlock event shows up in the trace, the Deadlock Graph does not. I'm pretty sure BOL says that for every deadlock there is a deadlock graph. I've also tried the steps in BOL to save the deadlock graph xml to a file. The file is empty. any clues thanks yup - deadlock event doesn't show in the trace either..     What kind of a permissioning issue can it be I'm running profiler under administrative account. thanks! ...Show All
