• SQL Server Is BOL incomplete or incorrect? YOU can make it better!

  If you think that the BOL page you're reading has incorrect or incomplete information, you can make it better by using the Send Feedback link that's available on every page. It's easy for the SQL Server documentation team to miss documentation issues buried in newsgroup and forum postings. But when you use the Send Feedback link, an automated process creates a bug in our database and assigns it directly to the owner of the individual topic on which you've commented. Now there's no way I can miss it. And my boss sees it too. Please help us to make SQL Server Books Online better by using the Send Feedback link whenever appropriate! Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help on Classes

  Hi, I am developing an IT Asset Tracking application using VB 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Will I need to create classes to represent objects such as Computers, Printers, Scanners/Faxes, Contracts, Purchase Orders etc or are there any other approaches. For example, if I am correct, I will have a class called Computer and its properties will include Make,Model,CPU,Hard Disk,Memory etc. Is this the right approach. Computers can be split up into Desktop PC's, Servers and Notebooks. Would I have to create separate classes for these as well or would they be ok under the Computer class Once I create an object from the c ...Show All

• SQL Server Source code for the standard SSIS components that come with SSIS?

  Hi, I'm finding that the standard components often just don't quite meet my needs, but would only need some fairly minor changes to save me and my team a lot of work (and produce more elegant solutions). So I was just wondering whether the source code was available for the standard components that come with SSIS, or if there is anyway to extend their functionality Or do you just have to start form scratch Thanks, Lawrie Thanks Bob - I thought that was probably going to be the case, but thought I'd ask just in case... ...Show All
