• SQL Server Setting Passwords In Connections Using Script Task

  I have a situation where I have to read an encrypted password from a table and set the password and userID for the connections. I wrote functions to retrieve the data from a table, decrypt the password and UserID, and set the connection string for the connection. What happens, though, is that the connection string I wrote to the connection gets changed when reading it back so that the password is no longer included. Also, in testing the connection, it fails, telling me login fails. Can anyone shed any light on this Does anyone have sample code to show the setting of a password for a connection in a script task All of the examples I find are ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get 64-bit MIDL files to work right?

  I have an IDL file that I wrote that builds and runs fine.  Now, we have a requirement to make our server run on 64-bit.  According to the MIDL compiler docs: "Use the /env win64 switch to generate 64-bit stubs only. The default is to generate dual stubs that run on both platforms." However, I do not find that to be true.  If I specify /env win64, I get 64-bit stubs.  But, if I don't specify anything, I do not get dual stubs, I get 32-bit stubs that have this: #if !defined(_M_IA64) && !defined(_M_AMD64) So, they won't build 64-bit. Help! No, I never did find a solution to thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can´t register or create new User in Demo Project

  Hi! The application is running fine but I can’t create an admistrative user (or anything else). It always comes up with a red HTML-Dialog "Please enter a different password.".

• Visual Studio Run a target if a specific file is updated.

  Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to specify the launch of a target when a specific file is updated. Currently, you can use the BeforeCompile target to do this when the project is loaded or a file is included or excluded in a project. I would like to avoid the development of a custom tool. A solution exists Thanks for your help. Pascal. I wonder if you could solve this with an addin that monitors changes to your template files and then somehow is able to call the appropriate target in the project file ...Show All

  A very simple question, but I can find nothing on microsoft's site about this. I just want to install the .net framework and use it with my VS 2003 IDE. It is not possible as VS2003 is hotwired to build against 1.0 and 1.1. Also, due to the many new language features, you would be getting a lot of intellisence errors, ...Show All
