• SQL Server SSIS Development Suggestions

  I could use some help from those of you who have SSIS deployed in a production environment. The developer creates a SSIS package on a workstation with BIDS. Package accesses a network drive and a SQL database on a development server. The developer can test the SSIS package successfully in BIDS. The only way to use the ServerStorage protect level is that the developer needs to save the SSIS package directly to the development server (we are storing the package in SQL Server). This is not a problem, but it possesses a problem when we need to migrate the SSIS package to the production server. This is because in development our database ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Send email using Outlook (Question 2)

  Hi , thank you for your advise, which looks promising. I'll describe to you the context of the problem in greater detail, if I may. On the webserver, I have disabled the SMTP service. I have been using MailEnable Standard Edition, a free email server. I do this basically because I dont understand how mail is send from Windows Server. It all works fine in our development environment here-emails are sent from the webserver to eg my Yahoo account, gmail account etc with no problems. However, in my client's site (a larger medical device company in Ireland), the emails appear to be sent (there is no crashing on sending), but they never arrive at ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Associating an editor of choice with HTML files in the Team Explorer and on Sharepoint

  I'm finding it very frustrating attempting to empower a whole team to edit and work with HTML files using the VSTS. We have two interfaces to the same document library: 1) Internet Explorer (using the Project Portal driven by WIndows Sharepoint Services) 2) The Team Explorer (in Visual Studio 2005) I have three staff all of whom want to edit HTML files in our project and are not developers (but managers and sales people). I face the following befuddling observations: A) In Internet Explorer the only option provided for editing HTML files in the document library appears to be the "Edit in Microsoft Office FrontPage" command on the ...Show All

• Visual C# Removing the double quotes from a CSV file.

  I would like to remove the double quotes from a CSV file but am having a bugger of time doing so.     My input file looks like this: "Book1 number 1",120.00,140.00,,,"Great Book" "Book2 number 1",12.00,99.99,,,"Losy Book" "Book2 number 2",19.00,34.00,,,"Do not read" First I break up the line into an array so as to be able to manipulate each field easily. string [] strSplitData = strDataLine.Split(','); I now have the line split into an array and can easily do whatever I need to do. But I do not require the " that is leading an trialing in array element 0 and array elment 5. So I try to remove the " with the repla ...Show All

• SQL Server Using WebService Task

  Hello, I'm trying to use this web service : http://office.microsoft.com/Research/Providers/MoneyCentral.asmx WSDL i get an error : "This version of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is not supported" What's wrong This is the default error for all parsing related issues the task cannot handle from a given WSDL. In those cases, I would suggest generating the proxy with wsdl.exe, and including it as a reference in a Script Task (or compiling the class and adding it to the GAC if you will have multiple call requirements).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I love DLinq. Really need n-tier support though.

  In section 7.4 of the DLinq guide it mentions that that's something you guys are looking at. Do you guys have an idea if that functionality will get in there before the product is given the green light to go-live Since most apps these days are designed as SOA, there will need to be a distributed notification mechanism. Thanks CZ If your security requirements are such that the client cannot have db access priviliges, why would you want to allow adhoc querying Perhaps instead, you should build a web service that used DLinq internally (of course ;9), accepting commands and object deltas from the client The ...Show All

• .NET Development Populating Multiple Typed-DataTables with one SQL query

  Hi All, I don't think this is possible, but if it is I'll be delighted!! I have a typed dataset with two datatables - lets say 'Person' and 'Car' - like this: Person - Columns: PersonID, Name, TelNum Car - Columns: CarID, PersonID, RegPlate, Colour . Each person can have mulitple cars.  Now imagine I want all the cars for people called 'Smith'.  In SQL this is easy - SELECT * FROM Person p INNER JOIN Car c ON c.CarID = p.CarID WHERE p.Name LIKE 'SMITH%' .  However, if I run that SQL through ADO.Net, it will just return one datatable with the columns from both tables in (which i know is normally desired). ...Show All
