• SQL Server Incremental Extraction

  Does anyone know whether you can dynamically configure the SQL used for the source (in an OLE DB Source) in a data flow.  I used to used some ActiveX in DTS so that I could set a different value in the Where condition of the SQL statement for each datapump.  Using this code, I could use a different date for each datapump source based on data I have stored in my destination database. I know that I could use SSIS variables but this would mean that I would have one variable per "datapump".  I would prefer to use a single variable to store a recordset and then, using the content of the recordset, selectively update ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with decimals

  I'm a student and am taking a C++ class.  I am just learning so when another student came to me with question I didn't know how to answer it and neither did the teacher.  Basically the student tried to get the modulus with out using the mod funtion. Here's the code: int w = 0; int n = 23; int d = 5; double x = 0; cout.setf(ios::scientific); w = n/d; x = n/ static_cast < double >(d)-w; n=x*d; when run 'n' comes out to be 2 not 3 like it should be.  Everything else worked 'w' is 4 and 'x' is .6.  I was just wondering why this would happen.

• Visual Studio Team System Agent/Controller Name value pairs

So far the only information I've seen about these is this: Attributes Set of name/value pairs that can be used in agent selection. Default attributes: Name, OS. Sets of similar attributes can be assigned to tests. These attributes are used to determine which test can be run on a specific agent. For example, a test might require a particular OS. Is there any more detailed information about exactly how these attributes are used and/or how to associate specific attributes with specific ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting the children in right z-order from the MDI-container

  Hello, I have to store the current opened forms of an application (MDI) to view these in correctly the same way on reopening the application the next time. What I have made was to iterate over the forms by using the property 'MDIChildren' of the class 'System.Windows.Forms.MdiClient'. It's working fine with one restriction. It's not the right z-order, the returned forms are sorted by the order in which the children were added to the form. My question is now, can I get the forms sorted by the current z-order or can I get the z value (or something equivalent value) from the form itself. Maybe anyone has a solution or an idea for a ...Show All
