Silverlight Coming to SQL 2008

Andy Leonard posts on his blog about Silverlight being added to SSIS 2008 in the next CTP.

Details from his blog post:

An unnamed source at Microsoft confirms today SSIS 2008 will integrate Silverlight in the next CTP:

The SSIS Debugger with it's stationary tasks and transformations, just sitting there changing color - where's the graphic feedback in that?

The new functionality will reportedly include more "real-world feedback" graphics. For instance, when a Data Flow task fails for some reason, the Data Flow task on the Control Flow will appear to explode. Truncation on loading a destination will cause scissors to fade in near the Destination Adapter. The scissors will then slice off a portion of the Adapter proportionate to the amount of truncation occurring (it will slice off half if you're trying to push a varcahr(256) into a varchar(128) column). Unicode-to-nonUnicode errors will cause a brick wall to appear over the data flow pipeline. Success will be denoted by a stick figure jumping up and down with arms raised.

In case you're wondering, April Fools!

Be wary of anything you read on the internet dated today, April 1, 2008.
