• SQL Server Monitoring a folder for a file - start ssis

  Hi I want my package to monitor a directory for a file and when it detects one it will start processing the file. Any help would be appreciated Regards Ants WMI is a good option here and the WMI Watcher Task will help you to achieve the same. I remember reading somewhere that the memory used by the package will be released only when the package is stopped, so in your case if the package is going to be waiting for the file (package in run state), we need to consider the side effects of memory.

• Visual Basic Changing default account in Outlook 2003 programmatically

  I would like to put a button in a toolbar in Outlook that brings up a new email message and sets the FROM to a different account.

• Visual C++ drawing square wave in a dialog box?

  i'm really a beginner here, so hopefully somebody can help me. i'm currently doing a dialog application for a IC tester(hardware).

• Smart Device Development Project disaster: updating the info in a DataGrid without moving the VSB

  When I run dataGrid.Update(); the vertical scroll bar is always moved to the top. How do you update a datagrid keeping the scroll bar in the same position The scroll bar moves so the row with the current row index is positioned at the very top of the datagrid. If the user scrolls down and doesn't click a row every now and then the scrollbar will scroll to the current row index row every 5 seconds. That's not acceptable. I'll have to edit the datatables manually so the scrollbar doesn't jump around. ...Show All
