• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I set ReceiveTimeout for a callback channel?

  The title pretty much says it all. I've noticed that even though I can set the timeout on my duplex named pipe service (which prevents my session from ending), the callback channel doesn't use the same value and times out after the default of 2 minutes.

• Smart Device Development CF 2.0 installation on a Mobile 5 device - Persist clean cold boot

  Hi, I was wondering if a Windows Mobile 5.0 device would persist the installation of the Compact Framework version 2.0 after performing a clean cold boot I have read another post on this forum that, by default, version 1.0 of the compact framework is installed on a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, however, if I do perform a clean cold boot, then the installation of the CF 2.0 that I have done is persisted. I might be answering my own question but it would be nice to have some clarification. Thanks for your time. Paul Diston by default in ROM, you will have .NET CF 1.0 SP3.

• SQL Server Reusability & SSIS - issues they do not write in books about

  I have a simple requirement: Each package needs to have Error Handling - which needs to Execute a SQL statement. It's the same Stored Proc - where each package passes in its ID. Ok - I get that part about creating a custom task and so on for reusabilty. But - lets say that after deploying this task in 20 packages - I need to change the name of the Stored Proc. What is going to happen in that case Correct me if I'm wrong - but after deploying the new version of the custom task - do I need to go to each package and update the reference to new version TheViewMaster wrote: Not quite - configuration cannot handle when the processing logic changes.
