• .NET Development subset of XML data

  I have a XML file that has about 50 elements (columns) and about 500 records. Right now I need to get about 25 of those elements(columns)so what I am doing is to load the entire xml file into a dataset and then create a new table with just the items that I need and do a table.merge. It works but I am new to the XML world and there must be a cleaner way of doing this. Any help is apprecieated.

In the example set up below, a table with rows comprising an Integer and a Real is the input. The output is a table where each row also comprises an Integer and a Real. Each row of input, say (Inti, ...Show All

• SQL Server Data source with a type of SSIS

  I know that you can do this, because I have read about it in MSDN, but I'm not suer about the syntax. I am creating a report that needs an SSIS type data source. I have deleted the comments in the relevant config files both on my local machine (development) and the reporting services server, and can see SSIS as data type. Now for the tricky bit! I go to create a new data source. Give it a name, choose SSIS as a data type, and now for the connection string. I "think" I know what I would do if it were a file system SSIS package, but it is stored in the MSDB. What connection string do I use to connect to this data source There a ...Show All
