Trying to edit an SSIS package, when I go to the advanced editor on the update database package I can only see on the component properties page three properties. ID, Name and Description.
when my colleague opens this up he can see 20+ options including the SQL option I am needing to be able to edit.
Is this an issue with my SQL Business intelligence studio 2005? or an issue with access to the end database?
Many thanks,
Pierce
I'm guessing that you don't have something installed quite right. I'm betting you have Visual Studio installed, but not SQL Server development tools. First thing I'd probably do is verify that Help, About shows the same app information on both yours and your colleague's boxes.

so versions look good, BIDS is installed. Security? Easiest way to check that out is to have your colleague log onto your box using their network id. Not only will that check security, along they way, if there is something funky in your setup ( funky as in different from theirs not wrong ), your colleague is must more likely to spot it. AFTER that works out ok, THEN I might hazzard uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio. I don't believe I would mess with uninstalling and reinstalling anything .Net.

I am working on 5 different development projects.
Each of them have a C# solution, and a different database to connect to.
Each C# solution has a desktop shortcut, pointing to the right / different sources.
I would like to have something like that for the databases.
So when I click a shortcut on my desktop, each of those 5 shortcuts would open a different database, and maybe ask for my credentials. (I wouldn't mind if they didn't)
I am not even sure what exactly should I search for, is the "Solution" the same as in Visual Studio, and I can use the ssms solution, or there is something else I need to use?
I am using 2008 R2.
Thanks
With some help, I was able to figure out how to make this work.
I tested it, and it looks fine, I love it !
Pic 1: see the parameters, the ssms.exe can get
Pic 2: see my shortcut on the desktop, and in the "Target" field, see my parameters
We are in the process of converting all of our old SQL 2008 SSIS packages to VS 2013/SQL 2014. I've done the conversion process in VS 2013 and also started the conversion of Package Deployment to Project Deployment. We currently use Encrypt All With Password as a protection level in the packages. However, I now notice that one the ones I've converted to Project Deployment that when I open the solution each of those projects asks me for the password even though i haven't started any work in those projects. This is different than the remaining packages I have not converted where it is not asking me for the password yet. With well over 30 projects in the solution, I can't see having to type in 30 passwords for all the projects when I know I'm only going to be working on one.
Is there a setting that I am missing? Or a workaround?
Thanks.
A workaround to this is to disconnect your network connection, then open solution/projects. Then go back online. This may be faster if you have several projects.
You'll just have to enter the password for the package/project you're working on. On a related note, once you have the solution open you can "Work Offline" under the SSIS menu to open a package and skip validation. This is useful for very large packages where SSIS might normally take a long time to validate everything in the package.
I would also like to hear the non-workaround answer to this question, if one exists.
Hi there and many thanks in advance, Im veeery newby.
I am building a small visual basic 2010 application and I need a better choice for my database (around 20 tables), since now Im using SQL server express 2008 and as far as I understand it is too big and complicated for me (just installing it was a pain for me)
I am looking for an application that will be easy to distribute (maybe just an installer and thats it!) and that can run without problems on old computers with windows xp.
The last thing is that I want to have to chance to install just a client version of my app on a computer and tell it to connect to the database wich will be running on other computer on the same LAN (or maybe on a web server on the future!).
In other words I would like to have the option of selecting "where" is the database to read/write on.
I will thank advices for this implemtation and will respond if somebody needs more details before answering.
Well installing sqlserver in not rocketscience al you need to execute .exe .
Though if you looking for opensource database then have a look at mongodb
MySql is open source and quite easy to use, especially with a tool like PHP MyAdmin:

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 for development. I really like using the SQL Server Object Explorer to work on database related tasks (queries, schema changes etc.). The issue is, every time I reload the IDE, I have to connect to the databases I work with. Is there a way to persist the list of databases like I can with the Server Explorer tab?
When you say you can't replicate, how long have you been using the explorer for to attempt to replicate it? It only loses the connections every now and then, so in fact right now I can't replicate it either, but over the next few days I'm sure they will get reset again!
It seems that there is something wrong with your VS IDE
It seems that this is a little bit unlikely as the same thing happened to me when I was running in VS 2012 beta running on Win 8 Release Preview too.
However I will try your suggestions and i'll see what happens, just to clarify are you saying that I run those commands once and then after that use VS as usual or are you saying that I try running in safe mode all the time?
Is reset settings same as the Import and Export settings->Reset All Settings menu item? (By the way I run with general development settings)
Anyone know where these connection settings are actually stored (registry, folder ...)?
Open VS. Don´t open any project or solution.
Add your databases in the Server Explorer.
Then File -> Save All
I've read through a couple of previous similar questions and none seem to provide a fix.
so i ask again.
I'm using Visual Studio and am trying to connect to a DB in Server Explorer. Regardless of what database i try to connect to it gives a "Given Key not Present in the Dictionary" error.
i have tried with SQL CE and SQL Express 2008 databases and each give the same issue.
I can connect quite easily with SQL Management Studio Express so i believe the Databases are the same.
Thanks in Advance.
after a lot of time searching for the answer to this i found the solution here
this is not really a workaround but in fact a SOLUTION, how to get rid of the error, in case you have missed to remove all connections before removing the provider:
edit C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ServerExplorer\DefaultView.SEView and remove the connection with the wrong Provider manually. If you do not know which of the provider is failing, simply delete the file :)
If this won't help try deleting also C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0
PS: you have to quit all instances of visual studios first or the files will be re-created from memory ..
The second part only worked for me , deleting the whole folder.
I had recently installed the MySQL Connector, and had multiple instances of Visual Studio open. After shutting them all down, I was able to add a connection to the Server Explorer.
Adding to what BastanteCaro said, I had open the DefaultView.SEView file in case I needed to go down that path. When I shut everything down and started up a new instance of Visual Studio, Notepad++ reported that the file had changed. So either there was an uncommitted change to the file or some sort of cleanup/addition was made on startup.
