• Windows Forms Populating treeview from XML (serialization)

  I'm writing the contents of an object to a XML file via XML serialization. I then want to read the contents of this file and populate a treeview. The data in the file is not really in a hierachical order so I can don't think I can use the XML DOM. I think I need a recursive function to go through the object (deserialized from the XML file) getting the levels, etc. to populate the tree view. The xml file looks like this: < ObjectList > < Node id =" 0 " parent_id =" -1 " type =" Root " name =" New Root Item " level =" 0 " path =" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System IP Spoofing

  Is there any way to implement IP spoofing/aliasing in a load test so that each client will have a unique IP address Thanks, Randy Yes, this feature if you are using load agents to generate the load. You can assign the load agent a range of IPs to configure on the network card. Web tests when run under load will then round-robin through that range of IP addresses for each virtual user. Load agent IP range is configurable from the Test->administer Test Controller menu item. This brings up a dialog that allows you to select or type in a controller, and for a given controller lets you set properties on ...Show All

• SQL Server remote queries (linked servers) wait or timeout during a DBReindex of any table/index

  SQL2000 SP4 - build 2039 and also tested with a newly applied build 2162 It looks like when a SQLMaint optimization job OR a DBCC DBReindex is executed on ServerA, remote queries (at least using linked servers) to ServerA do not work.  They wait until the DBReindex is complete or until the connection (if connection has a specified timeout) times them out. Why can I not execute a remote query during an index rebuild   The query being run in the remote connection is very simple and does not read a table being 'reindexed'.  IE, I can run the same query locally during the reindex and it works.

• SQL Server Setting Passwords In Connections Using Script Task

  I have a situation where I have to read an encrypted password from a table and set the password and userID for the connections. I wrote functions to retrieve the data from a table, decrypt the password and UserID, and set the connection string for the connection. What happens, though, is that the connection string I wrote to the connection gets changed when reading it back so that the password is no longer included. Also, in testing the connection, it fails, telling me login fails. Can anyone shed any light on this Does anyone have sample code to show the setting of a password for a connection in a script task All of the examples I find are ...Show All
