Custom Task + Connection Manager With Interaction To Visual Studio

Dec 18, 2007



Hi

I am running into issues with custom objects interaction with visual studio 2005.

1. Custom connection manager.
I am setting the name of the connection manager ( to standardize naming convention ) that user created, however when the CM is created, the name displayed in visual studio is still the default name even if the real name is the one i set. I have to do things like, edit it or save package - close - reopen, create another connection, ... etc in order to get it refreshed.

2. Custom Task
I am managing some variables in this custom task so that I will be adding and deleting variables in the package.
The challenge i am running into is, when I added 2 variables for example, even though the variables are successfully added to package, the Variable Window in visual studio designer will not reflect the new variables. I have to save package, close, and re-open in order for the variables to show up.

So this brings to my question - is there any way to tell Visual Studio programmatically to refresh the contents of these 2 sections, 1 is the Variable Window and the other is the panel containing the list of connection managers.

I have been searching around and found some clue about visual studio SDK but I still cannot find an exact way of doing it. Visual Studio SDK example tells you how you can access the Variable window as

framesList = new List<IVsWindowFrame>();

toolWindowNames = new List<string>();

// Get the UI Shell service

IVsUIShell uiShell = (IVsUIShell)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsUIShell));

// Get the tool windows enumerator

IEnumWindowFrames windowEnumerator;

ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(uiShell.GetToolWindowEnum(out windowEnumerator));



IVsWindowFrame[] frame = new IVsWindowFrame[1];

uint fetched = 0;

int hr = VsConstants.S_OK;

// Note that we get S_FALSE when there is no more item, so only loop while we are getting S_OK

while (hr == VsConstants.S_OK)

{

// For each tool window, add it to the list

hr = windowEnumerator.Next(1, frame, out fetched);

ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(hr);

if (fetched == 1)

{

// We successfully retrieved a window frame, update our lists

string caption = (string)GetProperty(frame[0], (int)__VSFPROPID.VSFPROPID_Caption);

toolWindowNames.Add(caption);

framesList.Add(frame[0]);



}

}

But i looked up the methods for IVsWindowFrame and it does not have anything to refresh the contents of the frame.

I thought about firing events but cannot find which one to fire.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Custom Task W/ Runtime User Interaction

Sep 14, 2007



I've been playing around with building custom components for SSIS. I've been doing workflow for years (using Java and Oracle). The company I worked for had a framework for publishing data that allowed for user interaction. That's something I'd love to be able to do in SSIS.

Is it possible to create a custom task that interacts with the user at runtime? So, the user starts the SSIS package. At some point, the process pops up a dialog (Windows Form) that asks the user to set a date using a calendar control.

Any thoughts?

Testing A Custom DPE In Visual Studio Report Designer

Aug 17, 2007

Hi,

I'm building a custom Data Processing Extension (DPE), and I was hoping test it inside Visual Studio report designer, instead of doing it on the server side in Reporting Services.

Note that I have gotten the RS configuration working.

Does anyone know how to set this up for VS?


Thanks!

Visual Studio Report Deployment With Custom Forms Authentication Extension

Oct 9, 2007



Hey, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on an issue. I've got the authentication portion of a custom security extension working properly (while authorization is just sort of giving everyone a pass) and all of my Googling efforts seem to be bearing little fruit. Now that authentication is in place, whenever I try to deploy a report from Visual Studio, it comes up with an error.

The error is that it is getting the authentication html login page set in web.config (as I expected), while it was looking for an xml page. I'm a bit new to this side of things so I'm not really even sure where I should be looking to see what kind of xml page it wants and such.

I don't need anyone to bother explaining the entire thing to me as I should be able to figure it out once I can get a start, but as I said I just need a kick in the right direction because my Google-fu has failed

Custom Connection Manager Doesn't Show Up In VS?

Dec 16, 2005

I've created a very simple custom connection manager, and I followed the deployment instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345276.aspx.  Basically, that was just copying the assembly to %programfiles%Microsoft SQL Server90DTSConnections, and then registering the asssembly in the gac.

However, when I open VS, right-click on the connection manager pane, and then choose new connection, my custom manager does not appear.  What am I missing?

Here is the class:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

using System.Xml;

namespace MyCoolCompany

{

[DtsConnection(DisplayName="Sharepoint Connection Manager",

Description="Connect to Sharepoint lists",

ConnectionType="Sharepoint",

ConnectionContact="My Cool Company",

UITypeName="SPDataFlowComponent, MyCoolCompany.SharepointConnectionManagerUI")]

class SharepointConnectionManager: ConnectionManagerBase

{

}

Custom Connection Manager Or SSIS Provided One?

Jul 20, 2006

Hi,

I have been working with a client on a legacy application migration to SSIS and I found SSIS to be very helpful, as this is my first project using integration services I found myself in a situation where multiple solutions can work but I cannot assess the risk of using one or the other and the effort required for the implementation.

The situation is as following, we cannot touch the input files that come from the other legacy systems so I need to get information that is packaged following the next multipart schema:

&Header with context information from the source
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format N)
- Data in format N
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format K)
+Data in format K
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format P)
=Data in format P

Etc... Needless to say that they can come in whatever order and they need different processing depending on the format. I have been tempted to use the techniq shown in "Handling Different Row Types In The Same File" from http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?54.

However, there are multiple issues that I have to resolve to do that: First is how to feed the pipeline with the Data in format N and then reparse them in an easy way cause the data that comes from the other system is very wide (aprox 120 columns), so using a parsing script is by no means a viable solution (I have multiple formats to handle). So I do not see a way to treat the data without using a Custom Connection Manager. Here comes my first question: Is there anyway someone can use the already provided managers to handle an scenario like this one?

Next comes the separation, which one is the wisest thing to do: Write again that to disk in as easier format or pass along that information to the next task in memory? The volume of data is in the order of hundreds of megabytes (100 to 200), maybe half a Gigabyte in the extreme cases. How about uploading that to SQL Server and work from there?

BTW, the production servers will have 6 to 8 Gb of memory and 4 to 8 processors (more or less).

Thanks in advance.

New Custom Flat File Connection Manager Component

Jul 6, 2007



The standard flat file connection component does not handle flat files with different column counts on different rows. Since that's the type of file I have to read, I like to create a modified version of the flat file connection manager that can do this. I have found some info in how to create a connection manager. But I can't find anything that tels me how to build one that would be recognized by the flat file source dataflow component.



So how do you build an connection manager that can used by the standard flat file source component? Anyone ever did this or knows were to get the docs?





I know my problem is also solvable by reading the row into a single column and then using a script component to split them but that is not the solution I want.

Visual Studio 2005 The Remote Connection To The Device Has Been Lost. Please Verify The Device Connection And Restart Debugging.

Jun 19, 2006

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get

The remote connection to the device has been lost.

Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.

I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!

My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

SQL Server 2005 And Visual Studio @005 Connection Problem.

Apr 14, 2006

I installed the SQL Server 2005 Trial and am now having trouble connecting. When I bring up the ASP.NET Configuration tool and Go to "Provider configuration" "Select a single provider for all site management data" AspNetSqlProvider Test I get the following message.

"Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider. "

I have already run the aspnet_regsql command-line utility.

Can anybody give me some information on how to set this up.

I am currently working with the club web site starter kit.

Custom Connection Manager; Returning Recognized OLEDB Source?

Jan 24, 2008

[One day I will come back here and answer questions, rather than only ask.]

I have a custom connection manager that returns an OleDbConnection. The only thing "custom" about the connection manager is how it determines its connection string. The object returned in AcquireConnection is an OleDbConnection.

Code:public override object AcquireConnection(object txn)
{
UpdateConnectionString();

OleDbConnection oleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection(this.connectionString);
oleDbConnection.Open();

return oleDbConnection;
}

Some of the objects within SSIS only work with an OleDbConnection, but mine is not recognized as such. Is there any way to have my connection recognized as a valid connection?

Thanks in advance.

Integration Services :: Custom Connection Manager Only Works In 32bit

Oct 6, 2013

I have a very basic / stripped connection manager with only one property (SSIS 2012). It works fine in design time (you can open the connection manager editor and change the value), but in runtime it only works in 32bit mode. The runtime-validate-method does work, but if everything validates OK then in 64bit it throws an error when you run the package:

Exception deserializing the package "The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.

The 2 VS projects are .Net 4 class library projects with the Build Platform on "Any CPU"

I only add references to:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS - C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTSv4.0_11.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91

Integration Services :: SSIS Package Hangs On Validation Of Single Task In Visual Studio

When I close and open the package it hangs on validation of single task out of all.

OLEDB DESTINATION Task

I have tried several times to close the SSDT and open but facing same issue.

These seems like bugs in SSIS/SSDT. What would cause the relocation of some script code to hang the validation process like this?

SQL Server Connection Issue! Visual Studio 2005 Used To Connect!

Apr 14, 2007

Hello,
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio to remotely connect to my database for the project I am working on.
I always get the same error, when I try to connect:




Code Snippet

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to the SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the
fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not
open a connection to the SQL Server)
So, I decided to ping the server to see if any packets were being sent back to me, on the command prompt.
4 of my packets were sent to the server.
0 were sent back.




Code Snippet

Pinging sq15.bravehost.com [172.16.0.229] with 32 bytes of data

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 172.16.0.229:
Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
So, does the database not allow incoming connections, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help in advance,
Dustin.

Help With Connection String After Clickonce Install From Visual Studio 2005

Apr 7, 2008

I have a sql express .mdf that is located in c:appdirectorymydb.mdf whilst developing an application. During development my connection string uses the above path to connect to the db. e.g.

"server = .sqlexpress; Integrated Security=True; database=C:appdirectorymydb.mdf"

I have published the app using click once in visual studio.net which places the db in : C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameLocal SettingsApps2.0DataJN1WL1DJ.X7B ... 08ed2810aab2abData


When i am executing the application following a clickonce install, what should I use in my connection string for the path to the db ? or where can I find the above path (e.g. in the registry) so that I can provide it to the connection string ?


Alternatively, can I specify where the DB is going to be installed (via click once). e.g. in my app directory under program files ?

I have tried searching what seems like everywhere for a solution to this problem and as a last resort thought it worth posting the question.

Many thanks in advance.

Connection Timeout In Visual Studio 2005(Reporting Services)

Oct 26, 2007

Hello.



I am having problems with a couple of queries in the Development Studio (Reporting Services 205). I am working on a report that runs a lot of functions so I expect it to be slow. But it times out in 30 seconds.



Error Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.




The report finishes when clicking on the preview tab but not when on the data tab. If finishes fine when deployed as well. Is there a way to increase the amount of time the query designer in Visual Studio takes to time out on a query?



I have tried setting the Connect Timeout=60 on the Data Source but it seems to be overridden by a setting in Visual Studio 2005.



Thanks much for any help.

How To Re-use Connection Manager ADO.NET Connection In A Script Task?

Jun 1, 2007

I'm currently using:

Dts.Connections.Item("myADO.NET connection").AcquireConnection(Nothing)Dim conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(Dts.Connections.Item("myADO.NET connection").ConnectionString)
conn.Open()

This seems silly, in that I'm not really using the same connection, but using the connection string of a connection that already exists. And, for my purposes, it's not working currently, because I've switched from Windows Authentication to SQL Auth... and the password isn't coming over in the ConnectionString property.How do I re-use the exact same ADO.NET connection I have in my connection manager in a script task? That's the recommended way to go, right?

OleDB Connection Class In Custom Task?

Jun 9, 2006

I have OLE DB Connections set up in my connection manager (Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server). I would like to reference and query these connections from a custom task, written in C#. I currently reference it as follows:

using System.Data.OleDb;

...................................

OleDbConnection connection = (OleDbConnection) connections["MyConnection"].AcquireConnection(null);

What may be obvious to some (though wasn't to me, as I am new at this), when I run the task, I get an error saying that I cannot make this cast. After perusing the boards, I understand that this is because I am not making a cast to the right connection type. Well, that is where I am lost. What connection type (and corresponding library) do I need to reference? I want to continue to use the "Native OLE DB..." connection.

Thanks!

Data Flow Task Interaction Confusion

Oct 11, 2007

Hi everyone,
I have a question related to data flow task's block. Lets say i have a problem to solve that consist of 5 major transformation steps and each transformation step ends with a Result set, this result set of Step1 is required by Step2 and the Result set of step2 is required by 3 ....

now i can solve the the problem inside a single "data flow task" block but this is not my aim, since this is not clean aproach specially if the calculation and transformation requires a lof of task so since i would like to solve the problem in differnt block depending on the complexity and logic of the problem.

My Question is how can I pass Result set of a "data flow task" block from step a to the "data flow task" Block of Step B in the Controll flow view(tab) , i tried connecting both blocks as in the dataflow view(tab) by my connections does not show any metadata informations which mean the do not contains any afaik.



thanks in Advance

Reporting Services :: SSRS Report Runs In Visual Studio But Not Report Manager

Jul 5, 2012

I have written a report visual studio.  The report has 10 multi-value parameters that pull data from their individual data sets within the reports.  When running the report from within Visual Studio it renders fine.  There are no errors reported, only a warning related to a pathname I have use to retrieve image data and display on the report.Deployment of the report is error free.When I view the report I briefly get the "Loading" splash window, but then nothing.  None of the headers or static text is displayed.  The results window is blank.

The report defaults all the parameter values.  In trying to debug the issue I have found by reducing the number of parameter values the report will render.  Once I have all the values added, the report does nothing.Below is the query being used for the report.  The where clause in the query shows the parameters being used and the syntax.We are running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

Ralph
SELECT RTRIM(a.ITEMNMBR) AS Style, RTRIM(a.ITEMDESC) AS Description, a.ITMSHNAM AS UPC, c.LOCNCODE AS Store, d.LISTPRCE AS ListPrice, a.CURRCOST AS Cost,

FTP Task: Connection Manager Can Not Be Found

Oct 22, 2007

When I try to create an SSIS package with an FTP task, it always fails to compile with the messages:

Error at Package: The connection "" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
Error at FTP Task [FTP Task]: Connection manager "" can not be found.
Error at FTP Task: There were errors during task validation.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)

The item is marked with a circled-X. The tool-tip also agrees: The connection "" is not found.

Using my recreation steps below, I am setting up a connection manager, but it is never found at compile time.


1. Open BIDS, select a new Integration Services project.
2. Drag an FTP task from the toolbox to the Control Flow window.
3. Double-click the FTP task.
4. On the FTP Task Editor window, General page, pull down the FTPConnection property.
5. Select <New Connection...>
6. On the FTP Connection Manager Editor window, enter the servername, port, username and password.
7. Click "Test Connection" to verify connectivity. (It succeeds.)
8. Click OK on the FTP Connection Manager Editor window.
9. Click OK on the FTP Task Editor window.


I'm not using a configuration file or logging provider for this example.
I have also installed SP2 + cumulative update 2.
