Can't find SSIS ?

I have VS2005 and have been using SQL 2000. I installed SQL 2005 Developer but I can't find SSIS anywhere. It is hard to start even the first tutorial if I can't find the program. Was it supposed to be installed with 2005 Developer? Help!

Thanks in advance.

Did you select to install Integration Services and the development environment. If you did, the best way to Start to is to open the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) - find it under your SQL Server group on the Start menu. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173767.aspx

Start a new Integration Services project ... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141823(sql.90).aspx

If you do not have BIDS installed then you most likely did not install dev tools.

Did you select SSIS during the install? Note that installing SSIS does not enable you to build packages, only run them.

The SSIS development tool (i.e. BIDS) is installed when you select the "Client Tools" option.

Can't find microsoft.sqlserver.execpackagetaskwrap.dll in Sept CTP

I'm trying to find the following reference for a VS2005 C# project but can't see to locate it on two of my machines which uses Sept CTP install (Ent & Dev) both with SQL2K already installed:

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ExecutePackageTask
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ExecPackageTaskWrap (in microsoft.sqlserver.execpackagetaskwrap.dll)

The only thing that I can find is ..\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\ExecPackageTask.dll

Is that the same thing or am I missing something? Thanks.

It's in the GAC.

|||Thanks but I still can't reference it in my C# project. Is it referenceable or use within another namespace?|||

Try this:

Right click References --> Add Reference in your C# project
In Add Reference dialog select Browse page.
In File Name type:

%windir%\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SqlServer.ExecPackageTaskWrap\9.0.242.0__89845dcd8080cc91\Microsoft.SqlServer.ExecPackageTaskWrap.dll

P.S. You don't need it if you access properties using TaskHost.Properties[]

Can't Create New Database on Device via ActiveSync

In VS2005 RTM using

Server Explorer -->
Right Click DATA CONNECTIONS -->
Add Connection -->
Datasource=Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition--> Data provider = .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server Mobile Edition-->
ActiveSync Connected Device

when I hit Test Connection I hear ActiveSync's connect sound and I get this error

Microsoft Development Environment

Microsoft 5QL Server 2005 Mobile Edition and/or NET Compact Framework v2.0 is not properly installed on your mobile device or the device is not responding.

OK

Has anyone experienced this? I can very easily create the database on my desktop, but even though the option to use activeSync is offered, it does not appear to work in VS 2005 RTM.

Is that true?

Thanks,

Wil Pannell

Hi Wil,

Creating a DB on a device over Active Sync is a prime feature and it works very well too in VS 2005 RTM.

Here are the things you should check:
1) Did Active Sync detect the connection and turned green?. And, which Active Sync version are you using, Is it the latest or the old?
2) Is your device running the supported Windows CE Version?
3) Are you able to browse files & folders on the device using Windows Explorer?
4) Did you do any uninstallations and installations in the mean time? Check whether the SQL Mobile data provider is listed in .NET Framework config file machine.config.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Laxmi NRO, MSFT, SQL Mobile, Microsoft Corporation|||I'm having this problem as well.

Wil, did you sort it out in the end?

Did you verify the things specified above? And, still facing the same problem, then let me know.

Thanks,

|||Yes everything was still not working correctly and I reinstalled everythnig.

Turned out that VS2005 wasn't depolying CF2 and the SQL Mobile Database engine properly on the device or the emulator.

I had to manually install the CF2 and the SQL mobile DB engine for it to work. The error message VS2005 gave didn't help at all with tracking this down.

Glad that things are working on your end.

|||I have the same problem to at Visual Studio. I try to fix the error using this step.
1. I install the compact framework using NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab file. Status done.
2. I install the SQL CE database server using Mobile first, you can find it at folder
drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\SQL Server\Mobile\v3.0\wce500\armv4i
The file list are :
- sqlce30.dev.ENU.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
- sqlce30.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
- sqlce30.repl.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
3. I've got the error like described above, the error also raised on Emulator too, so i uninstall the SQLCE
4. I instal the SQL using Client, you can find it at folder :
drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\SQL Server\Client\v2.0\wce500\armv4i
The file list are :
- sql.dev.ENU.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
- sql.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
5. There no error again on Emulator, but on Visual Studio still have the same error.

You can simply run sqlmobile30devtoolsenu.msi file again to install Mobile Development Tool. This file comes with the VS 2005 Pro distribution in wcu\SQLCE folder.

I also faced this problem and have tried to solve it. Finally, I myself found one that I never thought before.

You can simply run sqlmobile30devtoolsenu.msi file again to install Mobile Development Tool. This file comes with the VS 2005 Pro distribution in wcu\SQLCE folder.

Hope that help!

QUAN,

I love this site!

Thanks for posting back on how you solved it. However, I can not guess what went wrong in the first installation!

Thanks

1) Did Active Sync detect the connection and turned green?. And, which

Active Sync version are you using, Is it the latest or the old?

YES, Version 4.1

2) Is your device running the supported Windows CE Version?

Yes

3) Are you able to browse files & folders on the device using Windows Explorer?

Yes

4) Did you do any uninstallations and installations in the mean time?

Check whether the SQL Mobile data provider is listed in .NET Framework

config file machine.config.

Yes, it's listed

Any ideas?

Thank you very much...|||I had the same problem. After trying the suggested solutions, I installed it manually and it worked. (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171875.aspx)|||

Cant connect to db after web setup

I have an asp 2.0 app that connects to a database in another city.

When I test this app through VS2005 is connects and works great. After I created a web setup project it goes bad.

I ran the setup on 2 different computers, including the dev machine, both start ok and bring up the applications main menu, but when I choose a menu item that is supposed to bring up a datagrid from the sql server I get an error saying it's not a trusted connection.

Any advice on where I should start looking? It's got me beat.

Thanks.

Hi,

How are you connecting to the remote SQL server DB? Can you paste the connection string from the config file (with changes password, IPs ofcourse)?

I've tried these 2 strings and get the same results with each:

connectionString="Data Source=xx.xxx.xx.xxx;Initial Catalog=xxxxxx;Integrated Security=True; provider Name=System.Data.SqlClient"

and:

connectionString="Data Source=xx.xxx.xx.xxx;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=xxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=yes;"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

It seems you are trying to connect to a remote DB. You need to check what authentication type is applicable: Sql Server or Windows Integrated. Refer this article on details:
