• SQL Server Temporary tables

  Hello, I have to import all the data from xml files (xml source) into temporary tables so that I can manage the data with sql statements (sql tasks). Then I created a sql task creating the temporary table (ie. Create table #temp ( a int)) followed by a data flow task. Into the data flow task I cannot see the temporary table from the sql server destination component. Any suggestion Thanks, Pierre Philippe, What you are saying is very true, though with SQL2k5 and SSIS it is very different than sql 2k and DTS. The greatest problem I have is being able to see and or use the temp tables between the execution of the different steps w ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't connect to data source

  I've got a report (2005) that is sourcing from an AS2000 cube. Everything works fine in the BI Dev Studio, it builds and deploys without a hitch. The report has a shared data source and is using a generic login (i.e. it's not set to my NT login). However, when I navigate to the Report Server and try to run the report, I get the following error message... Cannot create a connection to data source On the Report Server, I'm using the same credentials that I used in BIDS. I've tried a number of Connection Types and I've copied the Connection String from BIDS to the Report Server, but still no luck. Any clues I'm kind of at a loss ...Show All

• .NET Development class design question

  I have my class with properties and methods. I create an instance of the class and get some of its properties in my forms. When I go back to the class and try to access that property from inside the class itself, I see that it has a NOTHING value. 1/ How do I keep the value of the property between calls and instantiations of the class when I sometimes instantiate the class from different forms in my application. 2/ What is this technique called in Microsoft Jargon. I mean when I go back to the properties and finding them again not reset to nothing 3/ What s the best way to design my class in order to keep its properties and also ...Show All

• .NET Development Mails that are being sent from smtpmail sometimes disappear...

  Hey all, I've been trying to look for similar problems all around the net, but I didn't succeed... Anyway, my problem is like that: I wrote a little command line mailer that tries to send a mail to a given address (a parameter to the command line) when certain events happen (if a batch file execution fails for example). The mail program works wonderfullu most of the times. But in some specific cases where it sends mail 3 times in a row (3 diffrent critical errors f.e) I get a variable number of mails (from 1 mail to 3 mails). So, it stills sends mail, but for some reason only some of the mails reaches the Exchange server, and as I said, s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Another newbie question on performace tools

  Where can I found the detailed document of performance tools The document (walkthrough etc.) in Beta2 MSDN is not enough.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Ink Over Video

  I am trying to allow the user to draw on top of a mediaelement(video) when the clip is paused. I have tried overlaying an inkcanvas over the mediaelement and also placing the mediaelement as a child of an inkcanvas. Using both methods, when the user draws on the video it tears (the underlying video isn't refreshing the current frame). The best solution I have come up with is grabbing the current frame as a bitmap when the user pauses and overlaying that to collect the ink. I would much prefer to not due this for timing issues and it causes some jittering on resuming playback. I have included my frame overlay code below, but I would greatly a ...Show All
