• SQL Server Opening package stored in MSDB

  I created a package using the Import\Export wizard and saved it to the local Sql server. Under Management Studio I can see the package, can run in, import it, export it BUT how am I supposed to edit (modify the thing) it TIA, barkingdog Loonysan, What you described strikes me as totally counter-intuitive. Under sql 2000 after I create and save a simple package, I can double-click it in Enteprse manager (the package opens), and proceed to work on it. End of story. If I undestood what you said, I have to export my sql 2005 package (say, stored in sql servr) to a dtsx file and then import that into BIDS. This seems overly complicated to me. Thanks, Barkingdog. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Alphabetically ordered allowed values

  Hi When specifying a list of allowed values on a field, these are sorted alphabetically when shown in Visual Studio. Is there a solution to order the list different Regards, Thomas Ardal AFAIK. Not natively. I feel your pain. One option is perhaps now under SP1 is you could create your own control and thus order as you desired the trick would be what to use as the order by indicator. I'm sure in the future we will see an order by attribute in the allowedvalues and/or other tags. It would indeed be a very nice to have. ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about Garbage Collector in VS2005?

  As I understand it, NET doesn't do memory defragmentation in LOH. GC only kicks in when certain conditions met. Assume my PC has 11 blocks(0..10) of free memory. And I do the following gcnew obj1. Assume that obj1 accupies block#5 doing other things obj1 is nolonger used. waiting for GC to collect. gcnew obj2. Assume the size of obj2 is 6 blocks. Will the GC kick in right after step#3 so I have enough memory for step#4 Do I need to do GC::Collect() to make sure Thanks. hdp Hi hdp The GC will perform a collection under three conditions (simplifying for this explanation): 1. GC.Collect() is called. This is known as an induced GC. 2. An allocation fails. T ...Show All

• Community Chat Data Generator

  I needed fake data so I looked on the net, most sites want some money for data. no problem, consensus bureau doesnt. You can download text files without cost. I wrapped First, Last and City, Towns and Zips into a random data generator which you specify how many rows to create. It builds random sets so it is not identifying. Its nothing spectacular or anything to brag about but it saved me lots of time. It is written in VB6 and has an Access database. Again, nothing to brag about - if you want it, i can send it. freeware. ...Show All
