• SQL Server Can't Open Encrypted Package After SP1 applied

  I have a problem where after applying SQl Server 2005 SP1 to my workstation, where it presumably updates Visual Studio, I cannot open a package that is password protected and was created before applying SP1. My colleague has not applied SP1 and can still open the package, but I don't even get prompted for the password. Has anyone else come across this Hi, What messages do you see when you try The package is stored on the File System or in SQL Did you apply SP1 to the release version of SQL 2005 or was it a pre-release/CTP version of SQL 2005 When your colleague successfully opens it, they are prompte ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting name of system connected via terminal services

  I am writing an application which will be run on Terminal Services. Is it possible to get the name of the remote system running the application via TS So far the only luck I've had is getting the name of the TS server. Have a look at the post in this same thread by Gorm. He shows a Win32 API that you can call to retrieve this. Simply use the DllImportAttribute to call this method. If you have found some VB code to do this, it is very easy to convert VB -> C#, they are very similar. ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute phase Memory Error

  Hi, I have a data flow component that retrieves records from a table.  There is about 3 million records.  I do sorts on the records, then use a merge join transformation to join that sorted data with the dimension data.  However, when I pump 10,000 records through this transformation it works fine. When I try 3 million I get this error: DTS.Pipeline: Thread "WorkThread1" has exited with error code 0x8007000E.  I think this is a memory error. I have 1000 MB of memory 30 GB of hard drive space.  I am also running this on a virtual server. Option 1: Don't use merge join transformations and use Lookup's instead Opt ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio Extensions for WinFX Beta 1 and broken MSDN

  Hello! I have recently installed Visual Studio Extensions for WinFX Beta 1 and it probably broken Table of Contents in Visual Studio 2005 MSDN Library. Do you know anything about it Is it possible to rebuild the ToC in of VS 2005 MSDN Library Hi Marcin, What do you mean when you say that the TOC is probably broken in VS when you install the VS Extensions for WinFX Just as an FYI: when you install the VS Extensions for WinFX is does swap out some of the .NET Framework content in the TOC with the WinFX SDK content, so the TOC will look a bit different. Also, what version of VS 2005 are you using Beta 2 is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I connect to my SQL Server 2000 with VS Express

  I seem to be having a difficult time connecting to my local SQL Server 2000 from VS 2005 Express. Can it be done If not, is there a way to import a table from SS2000 somehow Thanks. Yes, I have been using the wizard, and it just can't find any (local) SQL Servers. What I'll do is try it in code and see what happens. I think I'm just spinning my wheels using the Express version. Ever since it came out I've been having difficulty doing anything with SQL Server. When you try to jump ahead of the process with these Beta and limited versions it becomes more of a pain than a good experience. In a few days ...Show All

• SQL Server Customizing Report Manager

  As I recall, in RS2000 there was no way to customize the appearance of Report Manager. I see that RS2005 has stylesheets which permit some customization of the appearance (maybe these were available in RS2000 also, but I never looked for them), but it appears that the source code for the web pages is still not provided. Is that the case, or is it possible to obtain the source code for Report Manager so that more extensive page customizations can be made Thanks! -- Chris Report Manager can only be customized in two ways: * style sheets (as you have already discovered) * UI strings (e.g. "View Report&qu ...Show All
