Visual Studio 2005 Addin to open *.h files on the left and *.c/*.cpp files on the right

Integrating data into applications or reports is one of the most important, expensive and exacting activities in building enterprise data warehousing and reporting applications. SQL Server Integration Services which first appeared in MS SQL Server 2005 and continued into MS SQL Server 2008 provides a one-stop solution to the ETL Process. The ETL Process consists of extracting data from a data source, transforming the data so that it can get in cleanly into the destination followed by loading the transformed data to the destination. Enterprise data can be of very different kinds ranging from flat files to data stored in relational databases. Recently storing and exchanging data in XML has become common as exchanging data in XML format has many advantages…

Microsoft implemented many new features in SQL Server 2005, including an impressive set of language enhancements. From new language statements for SQL-99 compatibility to new features in response to customer requests, Transact-SQL 2005 helps to increase developer productivity. This article covers most of the new language features by posing a statement/scenario and then provide some code samples to show how you can use T-SQL 2005 to address the problem. You'll also get a brief glance at Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals, a product that helps a development team to manage databases. Finally, I'll give you a sneak preview of some features in the next scheduled version of SQL Server (SQL Server 2008, "Katmai")...

I will demonstrate how to ARP poison a connection between a Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Server using Cain. The Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides remote display and input capabilities over network connections for Windows-based applications running on a server. RDP is designed to support different types of network topologies and multiple LAN protocols. Remote Desktop Services formerly know as Terminal Services on Windows 2000 Server allow a server to host multiple, simultaneous client sessions. Remote Desktop uses Remote Desktop Services technology to allow a single session to run remotely. Thus a user can connect to a Remote Desktop Session Host server by using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client software.

In a previous PBDJ article, we looked at using a third-party control, a ribbon control in particular, in a PowerBuilder WPF target. One of the other “most requested” features people have asked for is the capability to provide docking windows in their PowerBuilder applications. In this article, we’re going to look at how we can do that in a PowerBuilder WPF application using a third-party docking manager. The particular docking manager I’m going to use is the AvalonDock, an open source project on CodePlex (http://avalondock.codeplex.com/). At the time of this writing, the current version is 1.3.3571. However, that one has some dependencies on Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 libraries. PowerBuilder .NET 12 is based on the Visual Studio 2008 isolated shell, so I’m using an older build (1.1.1509) that doesn’t have these dependencies. First, we’ll add the AvalonDock assembly and a reference to a new WPF application. Create a new WPF window and add the AvalonDock namespace to the Usings property for the new window. I called that new window w_frame, and coded the open event of the application object to open it. I then dropped a DockingManager control onto the window. Next create a menu (I called mine m_menu) and associate that menu with the new window as well.
