• SQL Server Logging of SSIS package doesnt work when executed as a job

  I am having the same problems as those in another post. SSIS package works fine when executed in BIDS and through execute package utility but it doesnt work when executed as a step in a job. The other problem is that the logging also doesnt work when i try executing it as a job. So I have no clue about what to do without knowing what error it is. When I run the job it simply says the step has failed. I have tried most of the solutions posted in other websites most of them to do with using proxies with credentials but havent hit a solution. I would love to get any input on what to do. Thanks Look at ...Show All

• Visual C# Solution, Not Answer

  Is it a flaw on C# Or, by design class A{ virtual string foo(){return "A";} } class B:A{ override string foo(){return "B";} } class C:B{ override string foo(){return base . base .foo();}// impossible } class D:B{ override string foo(){return ((A)this) .foo();}//impossible } class E:B{ override string foo(){return this. A:: foo();}//impossible } There are some times when I want to call methods of grandparent class... The creator of C# did not give us the way. Personally I think it's by design. If you need to get to the grandparent method, you should consider whether you really want the encapsulat ...Show All

• SQL Server Reference to preceeding component from custom dataflow transformation component

  I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component. I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want. Does anyone have any suggestions TIA . . . Ed Sorry - I meant IDTSInput90 rather than IDTSInputCollection90. But my understanding of the buffer was clearly wrong. I've just re-read the documentation and I need to check for buffer.EndOfRowSet. T ...Show All

• Visual C++ BUG under Multithread Compilation

  Hello there, I built a project which has an annoying problem. The DEBUG version works fine and the release version also works if I choose DEBUG Multithread as runtime library. However, it doesn't work if Multithread runtime library is used instead. I followed the code and found that release method of objects doesn't work. Can anyone give some hint why this happened Michael Sometimes bugs like this aren't caused by the circumstances under which you're seeing the bug manifest itself.  This could be an ordinary run-of-the-mill memory corruption in your program that is only symptomatic under certa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TreeView question #2

  Hi Is there any way to get a TreeView which is being populated with Files to read the appropriate file icons for each of the files I do have a useful program (Audacity) which can rip icons from files, but I suspect that would be a rather long and laborious procedure. Is there any inbuilt function or method to do this kind of thing Even just the system file icons would do most of the job for me. It is a bit boring when I just have one folder icon and one file icon to display in the TreeView. How are you populating the files If you are doing it and not a binding it's easy. If you are using a binding ... I'd say ...Show All
