• SQL Server problem reading tab delimited flat file source with missing tabs

  I have a tab delimited flat file with say 60 columns. All columns can have null values. The file contains a blank tab for nulls. Now, if a row has null value for last 10 columns, ideally, there should be 10 blank tabs padded to the end of that row. But, this is not the case with this file. There is line break after 50 columns of that row, in the above example. Extrapolating this behavior, most of the rows have null values for last 'x' columns where 'x' is variable for each row. When I try to customize a flat file connection for this file, SSIS is not padding up the missing tabs. In the example above, it should insert ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reading characters from a line

  I was wondering (DESPERATELY) how to read only certain characters from a line of text and how to define where the code will start reading and how far into the line the code will read.  and lastly - is it possible to store these specified characters in a variable   I've been messing around with "Mid()" but its not doing exactly what I need it to.  THANX Mid is going to strip your string, but you can also look into using regular expressions to look for patterns in a string, and return them. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Any good Books on using WCF in SOA

  I have read through Dave Pallmans book on Indigo.  Its a good introduction, but tends to focus on RPC, ratehr than WSDL and Message orientated SOA solutions. Anyone suggest any decent books (apart from MSDN) which go into the depths of true contract first (WSDL) and Message orientated SOA - To help Interoperability with other Platforms. Thanks Julian Hello Richard, In your post here you imply that SVCUTIL can create a service-skeleton from WSDL, but have read the SVCUTIL docs and played with it, I can't figure out how to do this. Could you elaborate on how a WCF service skeleton can be auto-generated ...Show All
