• Visual C++ issue

  When i add query in Design View of my *.xsd file - all ok. But, when i add one more query - appears such errors that i even do not know what to think... Point in that, that all what i created was in a visual mode by the studio designer view, instead of in a code. Thus it turns out that all these mistakes have been made by visual studio personally.

• SQL Server DataStage Vs SSIS

  Hi, We are in a process of migrating a process running in Ascential Data Stage to SSIS. The database server is ORACLE 9i. We need samples/guide on the following datastage equivalent features. 1. Calling a function/script/routine from task's Data Flow transformer as Before/After Stage event. 2. Complex XML parsing and loading into sequential files. 3. Creating a batch & based on the condition calling the tasks. For example, if condition=YES then call task 'A' or call task 'B'. 4. Any shared container concept. (A portion of activity will be used by most of the tasks) 5. In the Data Flow Destination, is we have feature like insert ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Rule Idea

  Just like unused variables, it is possible to specify an unused imports/using statement. Is there a rule to notify you when this happens Nick Unfortunately, as FxCop currenly only analyzes binaries, source constructs that have no representation in the final binary (such as using/import statements), can not be analyzed. Thanks for the rule idea, but as it stands it would not be able to be implemented. ...Show All
