• SQL Server Send Mail task error while using expressions

  Hi all, I have a problem using the send mail task with expressions. What I want to do is send a mail to all email addresses stored in a particular table.

Until here, the package runs without a ...Show All

When running in safe mode and installing the drivers it works fine but after reboot I get the same black screen again. I'm running a Dell Dimensin 8400 with RadeonR ...Show All

• Visual C# How to change the color of the app's title bar?

  Hello, How do I change the color of the app's title bar (where you have the Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons) in C# Mateusz   I personally wouldn't create a user control for the borders.

• Visual Studio Team System Grasping at straws here with VSTS Licensing!

  First of all thanks for reading! After many calls to MSDN and the Partner Program they all seem to be unaware or partially aware of what's going on. Since the forum seems to be the best place, I'll ask here! I logged in the MSDN web site last Friday and started a discussion with the online Concierge. I asked him why was I not able to view the VS 2005 Team Suite product (and I'm not talking about the 180 day free Trial here) The short ...Show All

  In the online docs a Control is.. "Defines the base class for controls, which are components with visual representation." A ToolStripItem is visual, so why does it inherit from Component instead of Control Technically, a ToolStripItem is not visual; the ToolStrip is the visual part, and it is responsible for drawing its ToolStripItems. Not sure why MS decided to implement it this way, instead of makin ...Show All

  OK, I'm sort of new to this and am not sure how to go about doing this.
