• SQL Server Execute a SSIS master package through an ASP.NET web app

  I am trying to execute a SSIS package via a web application built in c#.  I found a sample to read the output of a data flow task, but I'm stuck.  If I build the command line syntax for the package, create a DtsConnection object and set the connection string to the syntax, what else do I need to do   Thanks. Clay Well, the critical step is to create a DtsCommand whose CommandText = the name of the DataReader Destination in the package, then to execute that command to retrieve the DataReader [contents].

• .NET Development DataSet Scalar function returning only 255 chars from Access Memo field

  Hi, I have a DataSet linked to an Access database. There's are two tables with a relationship. Using a function in table A, I retrieve a related Memo field from table B. However, this scalar function only returns the first 255 characters, instead of the complete Memo field. I have tried tinkering with Output and ReturnValue parameters, but that only results in "BADBINDINFO" exceptions. How can I make the scalar function return all of the characters in the Memo field, without directly querying the database (I'm trying to use only the XSD DataSet and its TableAdapter objects.) Thank you, Bram ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Feb 2006 CTP what happened to presentation framework.dll?

  Hi, I was just trying to get the Feb 2006 CTP to work on my Win XP SP2 PC. I did a clean uninstall of all previous CTP versions. Also ran the cleanup msi tool given on the CTP download page. After correcting my XAML pages according to the breaking changes done in FEB CTP like changing the XML namespaces in top, I am still unable to open my XAML pages.

• .NET Development How to store connectionstring in config file

  In .net framework 1.x, an sqlconnection object could bind its connectionstring property to a setting in web.config. I can't seem to be able to do the same thing in .net framework 2 (VS 2005). I'm guessing that I am missing something obvious here. Can anyone give me a hint TF SqlConnection itself won't look in the config files. Generally, the code that sets the connection string property will do that. I don't know the specifics for interacting with web.config, but in V2.0 there is ' System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NamedConnectionString"].ConnectionString' ...Show All

• .NET Development Serialization and Object Reference Problems

  Hi, I've inherited a ASP.NET project where the sponsors want to move from InProc to SQLServer for StateStorage. One problem we ran into is that there is a fair amount of use of DataRows as Session variables. As these are not serializable we introduced a workaround by creating a serializable class that contains a DataSet, TableName and Row Index, so when we assign a Row reference to the session variable it packages it in the custom object so it can be serialized. Now that seems to have worked except for in one area. There is a case where there are three session variables a serializable object with a dataset property a datarow that point ...Show All
