• Windows Forms Running System Tray Application Prevents Computer Shutdown

  I have created a system tray application that functions as expected, but the computer will not shutdown while the application is running.   In another post, it says to look at SystemEvents.SessionEnded; however, I'm still not sure what to do with this.

• Visual Studio Help still broken

  Just installed the release version of VS2005 standard. Alas, F1 help is still broken. If I position the cursor over a word (for example HANDLE) and hit F1, the following happens: 1. If MSDN is set to use local help only, it always displays the topic-not-found page, even though on the left hand side, the topic is not only present, but selected. A single click on the highlighted item displays the correct information. 2. If MSDN is set to use online help first, then pressing F1 takes up to a minute (looks like multiple redirections happening), then either displays the topic-not-found page or displays something only vaguely related to the select ...Show All

• SQL Server Unit Testing

  Well was wondering this weekend. How do you do unit testing with SSIS Is anyone trying it What are you doing and do you have any suggestions Yeah, this is on my wishlist as well.  It's sort of nerve-wracking writing a script and just hoping it works correctly when I test it for the first time (as often running the package may have side-effects).  Also, since packages will often be run regularly, it would be nice to have "assertions".  For example, I could test that each column conforms to certain constraints.  If not, it would fail and pop up a message box indicating the problem.
