How do I import my old ODBC settings?

The default color settings in SSMS are pretty hard on the eye and may cause snow blindness :)

Visual studio makes it easy to do this but was unsure of how to do the same in S.S.M.S.  Is there a way to export / import color settings for S.S.M.S?

thanks

I have written this vb.net code to import an excel spread sheet but need for it to imported into the dbo shema. When I look in the database the table name is me.tablename instead of dbo.tablename.

    Public Sub Main()
        Dim sheetname As String
        excelpath = "S:\Account Management\jkormann\DynamicScoring\GE_Money_MN.xls"
        ServerName = "server"
        DBName = "sf"
        'SchemaName = "dbo"
        InsertedTableName = Dts.Variables("strTableName").Value.ToString
        sheetname = Dts.Variables("strSheet").Value.ToString
        'ImporttoServer(CStr(ExcelPath), CStr(ServerName), CStr(DBName), CStr(SchemaName), CStr(InsertedTableName))
        ImporttoServer(CStr(ExcelPath), CStr(ServerName), CStr(DBName), CStr(InsertedTableName), CStr(sheetname))

        '
        Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

Hello. I have XML document I use for backups..

I am using this code for importing XML to database:

protected void uvoziPodatkeXML(string backup, int tabela, string destinacijaTabela)
        {
            DataSet reportData = new DataSet();

            FileStream filestream = File.OpenRead(lblPotIzvozi.Text + txtIme.Text + backup);
            BufferedStream buffered = new BufferedStream(filestream);
            reportData.ReadXml(buffered);

            //reportData.ReadXml(lblPotIzvozi.Text + txtIme.Text + backup);



            SqlConnection povezava = new SqlConnection(Convert.ToString(Session["cs"]));
            SqlBulkCopy sbc = new SqlBulkCopy(Convert.ToString(Session["cs"]), SqlBulkCopyOptions.KeepIdentity);
            povezava.Open();
            sbc.DestinationTableName = destinacijaTabela;
            sbc.WriteToServer(reportData.Tables[tabela]);
            sbc.Close();

            povezava.Close();
        }

thanks, yevgeni

Im trying to deploy a web application project (VS 2010) via team build (TFS 2010), i got to use IIS settings of development server for deployment. So from the project properties I configured the web projects to use Custom web server, (enabled radio button), once i do this the Option in the tab Package/Publish Web "Include all IIS Settings as configured in IIS manager" gets disabled and as a result the deployed web project does not have this IIS settings.

What am I missing here, Im not using the option "Use local IIS Web Server" because the build happens in a build server and would try to take local IIS settings for packaging which is not present.

If this is not possible, suggest me any workaround. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

There are plenty of options out there for managing user preferences including custom configuration files, the Windows registry, and the isolated storage. But each option has its pros and cons -- and a bad choice can make life difficult. In this article, the author evaluates various options and identifies the characteristics of a good preferences API. Based on those characteristics, he introduces an API that is specifically designed for preferences management, one that offers the best of all the options.

Protecting application secrets, such as database connection strings and passwords, requires careful consideration of a number of pertinent factors such as how sensitive the data is, who could gain access to it, how to balance security, performance, and maintainability, and so forth. This article explains the fundamentals of data protection and compares a variety of techniques that can be used to protect application settings. The author discusses what to avoid, such as hiding keys in source code and the use of Local Security Authority. In addition, he presents some effective solutions such as the Data Protection API.

Over the years, many industry-standard XML schemas and dialects have been developed. These industry-specific schemas embrace the original purpose of XML and are extremely valuable in promoting and supporting B2B interaction. Unfortunately, the ASP.NET Web Services runtime does not allow developers to directly reference external schemas from within their XML Web Services interface (the WSDL file). This article builds an external schema framework as an extension to the ASP.NET Web Services runtime to enable you to reference external schemas within your XML Web Service interface.
