• SQL Server Passing connection managers to subpackages.

  Is there a recommended way to pass the connection managers from the parent package to the subpackages I also noticed that the subpackages can't reference the same configuration file as I get error messages when I try to build the solution. After I changed the configuration file for each subpackage it worked just fine. Did I miss something or is this intended to work this way thanks This falls into what I said: "The user must enter the password manually" If the user enters the password value in the wizard I must save that value into the configuration file because this is what the user want. Is not that we ...Show All

One of those properties is the name of the user that initiated the workflow (it is passed into the workflow via the Dictionary<string, object> class.

• SQL Server Converting DataType=TEXT to DataType=STR

  Hi, I have an input text file which contains line(s) which can have more than 8000 characters. I am able to read the lines in this file by specifying that the input column is data type = Text Stream [DT_TEXT] and I can then write the lines to another text file. But, what I want to do is to use only the right-most 8000 characters. When I try to convert the input column to data type = String [DT_STR] using the Data Conversion transformation then I get the error:- The conversion returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.

• Windows Forms Creating a C# Chat Application...

  I am wondering exactly how I would create a Chat based windows application using C#. Also if anyone could point me in the direction of any code samples or anything that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. I'm afraid there is no simple answer to your question. There would be a lot to do, both from the UI and the networking side. You need to have a solid understanding of both areas, as well as general .NET programming, before jumping into a large scale project like that. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration Benefits Portal Has No Registration Benefits?

  Cute. I downloaded the ISO's (VB and VC++) and installed from CD, but I chose to register to get access to the benefits. I clicked on the link in the registration emails, and got taken immediately to http://connect.microsoft.com. On the "my participation" page it says I'm not participating in any "programs." The available programs page has a list that doesn't include anything that even remotely resembles Visual Studio Express. So, exactly where are these benefits They're not on the connect website. hi, this link take one day or two to store every thing for you so if this is your fir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System bissubscribe error

  I am trying to follow the Continuous integration sample on Buck Hodges website ( http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2005/09/19/471347.aspx ) minus the actual project building. I am interested in the event notification so that I can capture the changes and email out the diffs to my project manager.
