• SQL Server .Net and SSIS

  Hi, Is there way I could pass on an object to an IS package from a .Net component Basically I need to validate a file using c# and pass the valid records to an IS packet to be uploaded to the database. Is this possible without me writing the valid records to a file and using that as input for the IS packet I tried doing the validation on the IS side as well but seems extremly slow so going to try to get a c# program to do that for me.

• SQL Server Problems with Identity Specification - deleting rows

  First of all, I'm new to the forums, and I'm still getting started with VBEE and SQL. I'm building a simple Windows Application that has a SQL Database with three tables, related to each other. In all of them I need to set one column as a simple index for the rows (1, 2, 3... etc), to work as a PK and relate to the other tables' FKs. I've set the property Identity Specification of the column to Yes, and added some rows of data for testing. If you just keep adding rows, the PK columns work fine, but if you start deleting rows, the numbering gets fragmented, and the relations between the tables lose integrity. I've tried the MSDN Onl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Directory.Getfiles
