Custom Task Properties

So I've built my own custom task and it has a selection of properties.
I drop it onto designer and can see the properties (VS Property Grid not custom UI ).

The properties window retracts and I decide to reopen the property window. My Properties have now disappeared (mine - not inherted). Never do they return for that instance of the task. add another task and we can see the second instance's properties but suffer the same fate as with #1 when we want to see them on > 1 occasion.

I can see the properties in Expressions which leads me to think the task is correct and it is a VS grid thing.

Jamie, Myself and Darren have experienced differing but similar issues with properties of various objects (variables/Tasks) and being able to see the values etc.

Is this an issue you are aware of internally?

Thanks

Allan

We've seen similar issues in the past. Since it's not happening with the stock tasks (or is it?) I would question if it's the grid...
Hard to say without having the task or some other repro of the problem.
Do you see this with other tasks besides your custom tasks?

|||Hey Kirk.

No this does not happen with the STOCK stuff. Are any of your Tasks managed code? I can post you the task if you want as it is driving me nuts.

Thanks

Allan|||Yes, many of the stock tasks are managed. So, sure, why don't you open a bug and put the code into the bug. We'll take a look.
Thanks,|||Here you go Kirk

custom sp_browsereplcmds

Hi NG
I want to customise sp_browsereplcomdands.
I use an vb-Datagrid for output. The Grid can't show varbinary.
Thats why I need an additional column: cast (xact_seqno as bigint)
--CODE:
declare @.query nvarchar(4000),
@.dbname nvarchar(128)
set @.query='select xact_seqno,
originator_id,publisher_database_id,article_id,typ e,convert(int,partial_command),command
from MSrepl_commands order by originator_id, publisher_database_id,
xact_seqno,article_id,command_id'
set @.dbname='distribution'
exec master..xp_printstatements @.query, @.dbname
--WORKS FINE
--BUT
declare @.query nvarchar(4000), @.dbname nvarchar(128)
set @.query=
'select xact_seqno,
originator_id,publisher_database_id,article_id,typ e,convert(int,partial_command),command
from
MSrepl_commands order by originator_id, publisher_database_id,
xact_seqno,article_id,command_id,
convert(bigint, xact_seqno)' --< --
set @.dbname='distribution' exec master..xp_printstatements @.query,
@.dbname
--DOWN'T Show the additional Column, an alias is not possible
It seems, the parameter of xp_printstatements are not flexible to
parse an additonal column.
Any ideas?
Thanks Thomas
push the commands off into a separate table like this
sp_browsereplcmds @.results_table='test'
The schema looks like this
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test] (
[xact_seqno] [varbinary] (16) NULL ,
[originator_id] [int] NULL ,
[publisher_database_id] [int] NULL ,
[article_id] [int] NULL ,
[type] [int] NULL ,
[command] [nvarchar] (1024) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
alter table test
add transaction_sequenceno bigint
go
update test set transaction_sequenceno =convert(bigint, xact_seqno)
GO

I've seen this code inside sp_browsereplcmds.
But I hoped, there was another way.
