  I moved an SSIS Package from a computer A to a computer B. I opened it on B. A number of tasks got the red bullet, obviously because the Connection Managers were no more valid. One could have expected that if the names of the servers, databases and tables were identical on A and B the Connection Managers would remain valid. Not so I’m afraid. I tried to Edit one of the Sources in order to link it to the new Connection Manager. After ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Binding an ArrayList to a listbox. A speed/performance question.

  I have a list of data which I am loading into an Arraylist. There are some 2500 items. To bind this arraylist to the listbox this takes approximately 20 seconds, perhaps longer. I need to accelerate this time to bind, are there recommended techniques for this Is there a better way to use a listbox Thanks! If number of items is above ~200, the only control you could really bind to is DataGrid as it would only fetch visible rows fr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Consuming MSSCCI provider from custom editor; problem with SccInitialize

  Hi I'm trying to write an editor (in C#) that would be able to connect to source control using MSSCCI, much like Visual Studio does. I've started by importing SccInitialize method from the VSS plugin C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssscc.dll. I can call SccGetVersion() and it works fine, but when I call SccInitialize, it returns -15 (#define SCC_E_NONSPECIFICERROR -15). SccInitialize populates and returns lpSccName (puts " ...Show All

• .NET Development Plans for Nullable types in 2.0 Typed DataSets?

  Is the support for Nullable types in 2.0 Typed DataSets a feature that has the potential to make it into the RTM, or was this cut   I have seen some stuff in the Data Team's blog about that functionality but they are all fairly old posts.

• Windows Forms ToolStripContainer and MDI

  Is it possible to use ToolStripContainer in an MDI application It seems that the ContentPanel does not have the IsMdiContainer property and thus can not be parent of an MDI child.
