• SQL Server DTS with SQL Express

  We have build a conversion for our customers to convert their data from our existing database system to Microsoft SQL. We've tested it with MSDE and SQL Server 2000. We based this conversion off of 183 separate DTS scripts saved as VB 6 files. We then heavily customized them to produce a final EXE in VB 6 that our end-users can run. They answer a few questions and then poof, SQL database. Works great. Now enter SQL Server and SQL Express 2005. With no support for DTS in Express we expect out VB application will fail to execute. As 80% of our customers are MSDE/SQLExpress level customers, this is a real problem for us. What are my options her ...Show All

• SQL Server How to launch programatically a SSIS package?

  Dear all, I wrote this post others times but the answer did not satisfied so that I'd like to know if really anyone has ever used or experienced with this possibility. No by .Net language rather than Vb 6.0 or ASP or even instanciacing DMO library. According this link http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=817248 it seems possible but I haven't idea if possible keeping in mind that it has been made by yourself no for others... So that, I mean, these assemblies comes along with Sql Server 2005 installation. Thanks a lot for your support, It is much simpler than the interop path described in that KB article. Just reference the typel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Building with multiple projects in different files

  We have 2 Team Foundation projects with their own source control. Data Access - DataAccess.proj Application - Application solution file - Application.proj We are attempting to make a build type for the Application Visual Studio solution.

The problem we are having is that the build type when executed is not able to do a get latest version on the DataAccess project. I am assuming this is because it resides in a different Team Foundation project. Does anyone know of a different way around ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't tick datagridviewcheckboxcolumn

This DGV renders well with all data and checkbox column. The problem with it is those checkboxes are visible but I just can't check/tick anywhere inside the box. Any idea thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Interactively showing reports detailing results/stats of executing a package?

  Hi, I'm just starting out with SSIS and I'm currently looking to migrate some non-SSIS ETL processes to SSIS. Some of these processes are run manually depending on the results from a previous step. In these processes a user remotely executes an individual ETL program and is shown reports detailing the result of the program and various statistics about the data involved. Is it possible to replicate this behaviour with SSIS / SSRS, or would the user have to execute a package and then manually find and bring up each of the relevant reports I'm new to SSIS and I'm still struggling to find out SSIS's capabilities, so I'd be really grateful if an ...Show All

• Visual Basic Button Styles: Rounded vs Rectangular

  I have just upgraded from .NET 2003 to 2005, and I see that in the IDE, buttons have a different look - rounded corners and a lighter shade than the form background. Very nice. ...But when I run apps that were originally developed under 2003, the buttons revert to the older style at run-time. How can I get the newer button appearance at run-time Thanks in advance. Nope, that's not it, either. This only seems to be a problem for apps that are upgraded -- those built from scratch in .NET 2005 don't suffer this problem. But for any of you who are interested, I did find a solution at vbCity.com Than ...Show All
