I thought I share this with you, before you waste time like I did.

If you are planning to deploy an SSIS with "Package Configurations" enabled using XML file, and if one of the dynamic properties is the "ConnectionString", you MUST add the "Password=xxx" yourself into the string. The Wizard won't store it.

Good luck

I did get a lot of hits on my first blog about the C# version of the famous Silverlight page turn effect. Then, I didn't post the source files, simply, because I wasn' fully satisfied. The other day, I sat down again and looked at all the code and started from scratch. I took the JavaScript version and simply translated it. This time, however, I have a much deeper understanding of how Silverlight works. It was much much faster.

Here are the links:

Good luck. I hope this will help some of your understand Silverlight 2.0 from a much deeper base.

Hi:

I haven't really done much lately with regards to Silverlight. So, I just now uploaded a new project which I like to share with the community. It is a simply app, which I, however, intend to update regularly.

Highlights of the apps are...

• Drag and Drop
• Sound integration
• Public events and custom delegates

The url is http://silverlight.services.live.com/invoke/86739/Pool%20Table%20v1.0/iframe.html

The source code is availabe on codeplex under http://www.codeplex.com/PoolTable1

Description 

I encountered a very odd behavior a couple of days ago, which turned out to be a very simple issue.

A fellow developer created a .ascx for me to use in my page. I have a gridview control with an *detail* button for each row.

This edit button is supposed to *pop-up* the user control which displays more detailed information for that particular row. For some odd reason, some postbacks of my, parent, page where suddenly disabled. One of them was the *detail* button.

Solution

To make a long story short, the cause for this odd behavior where validation controls on the user control. We solved the issue by explicitly setting the *ValidationGroup* properties of all validation controls and their associated user input controls.

First, the most important part is to add the System.Management.Automation.dll to your web application. Its location is a mystery...at least for me it was. HEre it is

"C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0"

Once you added this reference you are able to imports the following asseblies...

using System.Management.Automation;

using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;

Now you are able to code your powershell "HelloWorld" asp.net web application. This is one...

Hi:

The Problem 

I ran into a very odd, at the time, issue after I deployed my applications. I opened various directories on different web servers using an admin account. I deployed my apps, but when I browsed to the apps they failed, because they wouldn't authenticate my personal account which I was signed in with on my local desktop.

The Cause

When browsing to the the various applications via IE, windows used the same account you used when deploying your application (admin account). So, your apps are not broken, you just get authentication issue since Windows is saving the accounts your are using to log into your web servers.

The Solution

Open your control panel and delete your saved passwords.

I have noticed CPU spikes caused the explorere.exe. The only solution I have found to turn off all Windows indexing.

<asp:TextBox ID="txtHiddenTeamBalances" runat="server" Width="0px" BackColor="Transparent" ForeColor="White" BorderStyle="None" ReadOnly="true"></asp:TextBox>
