• SQL Server SSIS execution of transformation tasks.

  I'm not exactly sure how to ask this question ... but here goes!! I want to get an idea of how SSIS actually executes transformation tasks. Do transformation tasks (eg a lookup) complie down to managed code or are the executed as SQL commands in a SQL server database Thanks. They are not executed as SQL statements against a database. Data is loaded into memory buffers and the operations as defined by the components are carried out upon those memory buffers. The components themselves are already compiled DLLs so there is no compilation that has to occur on a SSIS package - it is simple an XML fil ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do you install CRT, ATL80.dll, MFC80u.dll applocal?

  When we look at other installation options than side-by-side installations, we consider "applocal" installations. Unfortunately we cannot use side-by-side installation since it prevents “Per User” installations in Windows Installer. (See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=552c704c-75ba-4cb1-8bf3-0c1d6d50d5a2 ) A drawback with applocal installations is that fixes issued by Microsoft to components such as MFC80u.dll will not automatically applied. On WinXP I suppose MS can do this by using policies. I found a KB article where this is discussed: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;e ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to: Webbrowser NewWindow and Navigating equivalent to axWebbrowser

  At first, I enjoyed the new webbrowser control but then I noticed that the args provided by the events NewWindow3 and BeforeNavigate of the axWebBrowser had not been implemented in the new control. Arg. Good news, the guys from Microsoft gave us the a workaround recently in C# and said they will publish a sample soon on MSDN. In the mean time, here is some VB.net code inspired from Microsoft's C# that will give you 2 new events and the args people like me were crying for. NavigatingExtended gives you the following args: - Url as string - Frame as string - Headers as string - Postdata as string - PostdataByte () as byte - Ca ...Show All
