• Visual Studio Team System CustomDictionary.xml

  Is there anyway to avoid having CustomDictionary.xml uninstalled when FxCop is uninstalled before installing a new version It would be nice to be able to keep the work I put into collecting various words/acronyms not found in the Office dictionary. Thanks We've discussed this in the past. Right now, we're re-examining the spelling services and I will put this point on the list for consideration. In the meantime, you might want to place the customdictionary.xml in your user settings directory. FxCop will pick it up, and it won't be blasted on an uninstall. After installing a new version, you can copy over the file and hope we hav ...Show All

• SQL Server How to read the names of package variables in custom task

  Hi there, I found a lot posts about package variables. But nothing about how getting access to the names of the package variables programatically. Why - Well I want to create a list of variable names from which the user can choose one of in a UI of a custom task. That's all... :) I thought of using the variable dispenser in the Initialize method of the task and then storing the variable names into a property which can be read by the UI through the taskhost. But it seems that you have to know all your variables by name if you want to use then in a task. Any idea Fridtjof In your IDtsTaskUI. Initialize m ...Show All
