The certificate has been working for months with Beta 2 and is an Ascertia certificate, which I have seen recomended numerous times.

• SQL Server How to display milliseconds as part of datetime field?

  When I execute the following query: SELECT EntryDate, EntryName, CONVERT(datetime, EntryDate, 121) AS LongEntryDate From Entries ORDER BY EntryDate LongEntry is displayed in the format of "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AMPM".  My understanding is that the formatting code 121 (also tried 21 and 113) is suppose to be in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MMM".

• SQL Server Best Practices Question - how do you execute multiple packages?

  I have 200+ plus packages that need to be flexible in how they are run. For example, an end user may choose to run packages 1,2,3 and the next end user may choose to run packages 2,3,7, etc. Prior ro running a package, I set an "instance id" inside the group of packages so I can tie them all together in the logfile - I know that packages 1,2,3 were all run as group and that's distinct from packages 2,3,7 that were run in a differnt group. Initially I embarked on a scenario where I had a queue table that loaded up the packages to be run and then had a little c# app that read the queue, generated the "instance id" and ra ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.net 2002 vs 2005 Express

  I switched to VB.Net quite a while ago now and still use the 2002 version. I tried the express version a while ago but was put off by the new click-once setup facility. Do any of the new Express versions have a Deployment add-on like the older versions where you can build a setup.exe to include a setup.msi, instead of the click-once version   The more inclusive versions such as Standard, Pro and Team Suit have more comprehensive deployment capabilities which I prefer to one click.

However, if the service was not added to the WorkflowRuntime before the activity is executed the workflow hangs and the process consumes 99% of the CPU. WorkflowRuntime.
