• Software Development for Windows Vista How much of WWF designer support in VS is managed by the project system?

  Hello, In order to create a new workflow in VS, one normally selects a template from the Workflow node of a C# or VB.NET project type in the New Project dialog.  I tried creating an empty C# project (not of the workflow variety), copying the .cs and .Designer.cs files to this project, changing the namespace, and adding the same references to my empty project system that are present in the one created explicitly from the C# Workflow template.  Everything built fine, but when I tried to display the editor, it failed with an error message about ''System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.IMemberCreationService'&nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XLinq and Common Namespace Support

  I've been reading through the XLinq Overview and looking at the XLinqIntro sample. It strikes me that that it might be handy for XLinq to provide an XNamespaces static class with common namespaces like so: public static class XNamespaces { public const string Xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" ; public const string Xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/" ; public const string Xslt = ...; public const string Xlink = .. public const string Wsdl = ...; ... public static string EncloseInCurlies(string namespace) { return "{" + namespace + "}"; } } This obviously isn't a huge deal but it does ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Package Security

  In DTS we had an Owner password and User Password. The User pasword allowed someone to run and schedule the package, but not edit the contents. Owner allowed full /designer access. I like the two levels of password security. What is the equivalent of this in SSIS I can only seem to get ProtectionLevel security to work with a single password that seems to be required to run, deploy and execute. Looks like an all or nothing proposition unless i am missing something. The single password is just for securing sensitive information, not the package contents. The idea behind the DTS password scheme was to secure sensitive information, b ...Show All
