• Windows Forms UserControl, child control, and scrolling

  Greetings, I have a custom user control.  Because I have a complex hierarchy of child object that can be drawn to the screen (potentially thousands of objects) I opted not to derive them all from Control/UserControl for various reasons.  Instead, they all derive from a custom class that has no base class (except object). The UserControl has AutoScroll = Tru ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom connection manager development sample?

  Does anyone has code/sample/tutorial/pointer to developing custom connection manager with a custom UI. And then developing a custom task with a custom UI that can point to this custom connection manager... and passing values during runtime from UI to the custom class. TIA, Nitesh I assume you mean a custom UI for the component not connection. You follow a similar pattern to tasks, but inherit from IDtsComponentUI Interface .

• SQL Server SMO in VBScript

  I've been building some applets in VB.Net and wanted to try and do some similar things in VBScript. (I like to have a collection of scripts to do repetitive tasks.) Anyway, I'm getting an error when I try to set the connection info and am at a bit of a loss to get around the problem. Note that most examples of using VBScript and SMO together only connect to a local instance of SQL Server, so I've struggled with the method to define the server I'm attempting to manage. This method works in VB.Net, but returns the error 'Object required' when I set the object parameters to their desired values. Dim srvMgmtServer Dim srvConn Set srvMgmtServ ...Show All
