Solution Explorer And SQL Server
Dec 12, 2005I am a Visual Studio .net developer and understand Solutions and Projects in VS.net. Nevertheless, it appears that the paradigm of using Solutions Explorer in SQL Server is not exactly the same. That is, in Visual Studio you can't get anything done without creating a solution first. In SQL Server, it is entirely possible to get a lot done without a solution and the ability to create and make use of a solution seems almost an after thought or an add-on.
I am particularly interested in using a solution in SQL Server to allow me to make use of SourceSafe. In the past, we jumped through all kinds of hoops to keep a running trail of changes we had made to (for example) stored procedures. It appears now that this can be managed more efficiently with the use of a Solution and SourceSafe and saving scripts or .sql files. I guess it is not possible to save a pristine copy of a stored procedure directly in SourceSafe, but you can save the code that makes up the stored procedure as a .SQL file which I suppose is about as good.
Anyway, what I would like to know is whether there is a good white paper (or chapter in a book) on the philosophy behind Solutions and projects in SQL Server and how MS intends us to use them; perhaps something other than the cold facts from the documentation. I would appreciate something more that gives me the big picture on just how MS sees them being used in SQL Server so I can get the most out of them. I have the feeling that if I "get the vision", they are meant to be an integral part of SQL Server now and in the future.

Isn´t it possible to create sub folders in the solution explorer??
I have it hard time to create a decent structure inside the SSIS Package folder, since I have like 30 packages in my project. Is it just me being silly or cannot this be done?

How To Add Subfolders To The Report Folder In Solution Explorer
Dec 17, 2007
Hello,
When you create a Reporting Services project it by default creates two folders: Shared Data Sources & Reports. When I right click on the Reports folder in solution explorer in Visual Studio 2005 there is no option to add subfolders, I am simply left with handful of options adding report files. Is there a way to add subfolders to the Reports folder? I am going to be migrating over 40-50+ reports and it would be helpful to organize them into their own folders.
Thanks,

View 3 Replies View RelatedSolution Explorer Drag/drop Error?
Feb 19, 2007I've submitted a bug report for this, but I also want to be sure it's not my own installation.
In the solution explorer, when I drag a package (usually accidentally) to another spot in the list, it disappears from the list. If I try to re-add the package, it thinks the original already exists, and names the second one with a "(1)" suffix. I can work around this by moving the original package out of the primary package folder and then re-adding it through solution explorer, but that's a touch cumbersome.
I don't really have a question here other than perhaps validation of the issue. Thanks.
Here's the bug report if others experience the same issue:

Stored Procedure Won't List In 'Object Explorer' Window
Mar 25, 2008I saved a stored procedure (see below) and I'm not seeing listed within the 'Databases' / 'Remote_Serials' (DB name) / 'Programmability' / 'Stored Procedures' folder within the 'Object Explorer' window.
I'm trying to perform a simple add-info-from-form-into-DB process.
Is it because of the way I put together the procedure? I have a feeling that it is (was going off a video demo, which created it within VB.NET 2008 Express, but I'm not able to connect to the DB from there; it says the file is open, when I completely closed out of SQL Management Studio Express).
Code Snippet
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.spInsertSerialInfo
@EmployeeID as nchar(10),
@First_Name as nvarchar(50),
@Last_Name as nvarchar(50),
@HAddress as nvarchar(50),
@City as nvarchar(30),
@HState as nvarchar(2),
@Zip as nvarchar(10),

@Phone_Home,
@Phone_Cell,
@Monitor1,
@Monitor2,
@PIX_ASA_Box,
@System_Case,
@Batt_APC)
SELECT @current_count = Count(*) From RemSerials
When trying to access the stored procedure from VB.NET 2008 Express, it says, "Could not find stored procedure 'spInsertSerialInfo'."
I'm listing the code as below.
Code Snippet
cmd.CommandText = "spInsertSerialInfo"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Connection = con
cmd.Parameters.Add("@EmployeeID", SqlDbType.NChar, 10).Value = txtEmployeeID.Text
If I change the 'CommandType.StoreProcedure' to 'CommandType.Text' it seems to find it, but then I get another error saying that the @EmployeeID variable has already been delcared and that I need to have a unique variable.
Any help would be greatly apreciated
Can't Execute Package From BIDS Solution Explorer Post SP2 Install
Feb 20, 2007Yesterday, SQL Server 2005 SP2 was installed on our DEV Server (Windows 2003 SP1 x86) and now I cannot right-click a package in the Solutions Explorer window in BIDS and Execute Package. When I do, I get the following error
===================================
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft Visual Studio)
------------------------------
Program Location:
at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DtsPackagesFolderProjectFeature.ExecuteTaskOrPackage(ProjectItem prjItem, String taskPath)
I know I could do this yesterday morning pre SP2. I've attempted this with a couple of different packages and solutions, so it is probably not a corrupt package (unless now they are all corrupt). I can execute in debug mode if I open the package first and then hit Start Debugging. However this is not always an optimal solution because I sometimes have many connected packages and sometimes what gets executed is not what is expected.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorting Packages In A Project
Aug 6, 2007Hello,
I am trying to sort the packages (using File Storage) in my SSIS project and have been unable to do so. I've tried the one that Jasper Smith made (http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=78) but I cannot get it to work.
I don't get any error messages in the Output window, just that nothing happens. I do get error messages if I change the arguments to something that should give me an error.
One set of arguments I tried with $(ProjectFileName) Asc and $(ProjectDir). I was assuming it would sort the dtsx files for that project. I may certainly be assuming incorrectly.
Are there any other ways to sort package names?
Thank you for the help.

View 19 Replies View RelatedMultiple Packages Sharing One Solution XML Config File
Jun 22, 2007Hey guys and girls,
This seems like a no brainer, but it's driving me nuts. I want one XML file for the entire solution. There are multiple packages in the solution which have different Connections in the conntion Managers. The packages share some connection names, and some are unique to the package.
Example:
LoadData.dtsx would have a source database connection named (SourceDB_OLEDB) and a oledb connection (DataWarehouse_OLEDB).
LoadDataMart.dtsx would use the same name for the (DataWarehouse_OLEDB) connection and have another oledb connection (DataMart_OLEDB)
I want one XML config file that has all the connection strings, but the problem is that the LoadDataMart.dtsx will throw an error:
Error 1 Error loading LoadDataMart.dtsx: The connection "SourceDB_OLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. c:ssisLoadDataMart.dtsx 1 1

How Can I Return A Database From The DataBase Explorer Of VB 2005 Express To The Object Explorer Of SQL Server Management Studio
Mar 3, 2008Hi all,
I just realized recently that a database "XYZ" in the Object Explorer of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) is put in the Database Explorer of my VB 2005 Express for processing a Stored Procedure in executing the SELECT statements (not by using Input and/or Output Parameters) during the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming, then the content of the database "XYZ" is not in the SSMSE. How can I return the database "XYZ" from the DataBase Explorer of VB 2005 Express back to the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) safely? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

Sorting And Grouping Question By Allowing Users To Select The Sorting Field
Feb 11, 2007I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
Any suggestions would help.

Reporting Services :: Horizontal Axis Show Last Value In First And Last Space When Sorting A-z But Shows Correctly When Sorting Z-a
Jul 10, 2015SSRS 2012 - VS2010...The report compares two years with a sort order on a value that has been engineered based on text switched to int. Â When sorting A-Z this is the result in the horizontal axis is: 5th, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th..When sorting Z-A the result in the horizontal axis is:5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, PreK..Z-A is correct but A-Z sorting shows 5th as the start and end. Â The magnitude of the PreK location is correct but the label is wrong on the A-Z sort order. Â The sorting is implemented using the Category Group sorting option.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHow To Connect To Sql Server As Other's Window Login Rather Than User's Window Login Thorugh ASP.NET.
Dec 14, 2006Dear members,
In MSDN, it says that it is recommended to use windows authentication to connect to SQL Server rather than use mixed authentication.
I create user deltasqluser on windows OS, and I specify in my webform ASP.NET script below :
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1;
private string _connString = @"data source=deltasql2000;initial catalog=northwind;integrated security=false;user id=deltasqluser";
/*
comment : I login to my windows as deltakoronx, and I want to every user (including me), connected to sql server through IIS, will be identified as deltasqluser not as user's login (impersonate)

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(_connString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "select suser_sname()";
conn.Open();
string userName = cmd.ExecuteScalar() as string;
conn.Close();
conn.Close();
Label1.Text = userName;
}
at web.config, I add :
<identity impersonate="false" userName="deltasqluser" password="" />
at IIS webApplication1's properties, tab "Directory Security", at "Authentication and access control" section, I checked "enable anonymous access" with user : DELTAIUSR_DELTA and checked "Integrated Windows Authentication",
at query analyzer, I login as "sa" and execute script below :
exec sp_grantdbaccess 'deltasqluser','northwind'
when I run the ASP.NET script, error at conn.Open(); with error message :
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
What should I do so that IIS login to SQL Server as user deltasqluser not as "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" ?

SOLUTION! - VB.NET 2005 Express And SQL Server 2005 - NOT Saving Updates To DB - SOLUTION!
Nov 30, 2006VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!

The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,

Calling SSIS Packages From ASP.NET - Packages With File System Tasks End Abruptly
Jan 9, 2007I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
Integration Services :: Remotely Execute Packages On SSIS Server - Packages Are Deployed In File System
Apr 22, 2015We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
