Mastering OLAP Reporting: Extending Conditional Formatting: SWITCH and
We will use SWITCH() to enact conditional formatting in a couple of different ways.

SQL Server 2005 - SQL Server Integration Services - Part 6
In this article, we are continuing coverage of Foreach Loop container functionality, by discussing different types of loop enumerators. So far, we have presented methods for working with files in a folder as well as records in a recordset (using Foreach File and Foreach ADO enumerators, respectively). Our next enumerator is based on the SQL Server Management Objects technology (hence it is referred to as the SMO enumerator), which is the SQL Server 2005, .NET-based management framework providing replacement for COM-based DMO (Distributed Management Objects) that served an equivalent role in earlier versions of SQL Server.
