• SQL Server SSIS AcquireConnection Error

  I have written an SSIS Package that connects to an Oracle database through SQL Authentication. Whenever I execute the package in BIDS it executes without a problem but when I try to schedule the package as a Job I recieve an AcquireConnection Error. Any help I have tried the solutions outlined in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760 and have read through the KB but have found few solutions that pertain to connecting to remote Oracle databases through SQL Authentication. Any help would be much appreicated.

• Visual Studio Team System Mark an iteration complete?

  This seems like a really simple task, but I can't see how to mark an iteration complete. I don't want to delete it of course, and loose the project data to that iteration, but I don't want it to be an option for new work items. So how do I mark an iteration complete so it can't get new work items, yet remains in the reports I'm not sure I like the term "inactive" - it has a different meaning than "complete". "Closed" would be another option, since this would be the same meaning as a closed work item. The why is pretty obvious - if you are doing the agile thing correctly, with 1-2week iterations, then after a year you'll have over 25 iterations in the work item drop down! This ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Enum as Index

  If I have an enum such as public enum Test { One = 1, Two, Three } I want to be able to add a value based on the enumerated type such as: MyValue[Test.One] = 17; I would also like to keep ot strongly typesd so MyValue[1] = 17; is invalid. Is this possible within C# n0n4m3 is right about the cast. But if you want type safety you will have to program that in. I suggest you use a Dictionary object. I used int for the key but you could use the actual enumeration. In the example I show how to add to the array and enumerate it both as a dictionary and using the actual Enum object! public enum Enumbers { one = 1, next = 12, final = 100 }; public ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom issued security token

  Hello, I would like to create a federation scenario where the issued token is a custom token and not a SAML token. I’ve already studied the custom token sample posted by T. Janczuk at http://pluralsight.com/blogs/tjanczuk/archive/2006/06/16/28046.aspx and I’m rather familiar with the token infrastructure (managers, providers, authenticators, serializers, ...) However, I’ve a basic question: in the custom issued token scenario, do I have to implement the token provider from scratch or are there any extensibility points in the IssuedSecurityTokenProvider class that I can use In other words, is the IssuedSecurityTokenProvider hard-wired to SAML tokens, or is it possible to use it with another kind of token. ...Show All
