• SQL Server Shared Datasource Problem

  I have created a few packages which uses shared 2 data sources called source and desitination. When i change the server in the datasource file manually\programatically, it is not reflecting in all the packages. Ideally all the packages should refer to this shared datasource,but i found out that the server name is hardcoded in each and every package which destroyes the concept of shared data sources in SSIS packages.How ever if i change the server name in the data source from the SSIS environment itself then all packages using the shared datasource are updated.Is there a work around for this apart from changing the server in every package. ...Show All

• .NET Development Events & Delegates CPU spikes

  Hi, I have the following issue and am not sure what's the best way to tackle this: The application I'm dealing with utilizes live financial market data for stocks, options, etc. So, there is one class that handles all the market data subscriptions and emits the quote as an event. There are several controls which subscribe to this Quote event and process the data the event delivers. The issue with this is that one control might subscribe to market data for MSFT and the other control might need data for IBM, however they are still subscribed to the same event and thus the control itself has to filter the incoming data from the event and determ ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WaitHandle (IDisposable)

  This is more a question out of interest than an issue really. In the full framework and in CF 2.0 the WaitHandle hierarchy implements IDisposable but in CF 1.0 they did not. Was WaitHandles implemented different in the old Compact Framework You are right that in CF 1.0 the WaitHandle class did not implement IDisposable, but in 2.0 (to maintain compatibility to the desktop behavior) of this class we decided to have it implement IDisposable. When you mean was it implemented differently (I am assuming if you are asking if the underlying behavior changed) well since it now implements the IDisposable interfa ...Show All
