• pmanisekaran A contributor cannot access work items??

  Hi, I am the project admin in team system and i recently added a user as a contributor in the project but for some reason he cannot access the work item folder (Red x) and even worse, he cannot do any check in because we have the work item policy activated and he cannot select a work item from the list.

• Sabrecat Using the database diagram tool and keeping in synch with the schema

  I was able to import my existing schema into the project with no problems. I made a few changes and repushed it to my database... again no problems. But then i wanted to go through and create a bunch of foreign key constraints and indexes. I couldn't find a graphical way to do that in the schema editor in VS, so I just fired up sql management studio and went to work. The problem now is that I can't seem to get these changes back into my schema project. I've done the diff with the database on the left and the project on the right, but "write changes" is now disabled. Any thoughts For CTP3 and 4 we disable the option to write change to the project. Going forward we will have an impor ...Show All

• Ian Jorgensen What is "citizinship mindset" ?

  I have read this page: http://guides.brucejmack.biz/MSF%20Agile%20Beta%202%20PT/Wss/Process%20Guidance/Supporting%20Files/Mindsets.htm But still don't understand what "citizinship mindset" is. It first says citizenship is about stewardship, then talk about web services, and then reassign bugs. I really can't understand what it means. Anyone would further explain it Thank you! Mr. Turner and Mr. Miller: Thank you very much for the detailed explaination. Now I get it :) Hope to see your books (both) soon. Let me try to explain it by providing three scenarios. First, you are writing a web service client that consumes a web service. You need a piece of information that the server has. This information w ...Show All

• NickNotYet Write Updates is disabled when the Source is a db and the Target is a project

  Hi, I'm using CTP7 and I want to make some updates from a db to the db project under source control. However, the Write Updates button in the Schema Compare is disabled both on the toolbar and under the data menu. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug Thanks, Gareth Sounds like a possible bug then. I assume that you have the appropriate permissions on the target db to change the schema, etc.. I don't know for sure if schema compare checks this, if so then that could be the problem. I would have to test it. Alle Thanks fo your reply Sachin. I've been really stupid - I think I uninstalled CTP5 then reinstalled it instead of installing CTP7! This ...Show All

• Dan Lingman Code safety

  While I am putting my VC++ exe file at a client's place, I don't want them to be able to look at the code in any case. Is it possible to arrive at the code from an exe compiled in release mode How to ensure maximum security I feel following should help me in securing my code from hackers’ eyes. Would request your critic and suggestions. (i) Encrypt the code file and name that as junk.log and place in some system directory. Another program would decrypt this, rename as exe, run it, rename back to junk.log (while it is already running), update its timestamp and put back at a system directory to camouflage it. (ii) Hide the process from the process-list so that admin can not even figure-out the process ...Show All

• Simon Allardice Data Generation Plan unable to delete tables with foreign keys

  Hi there. I am using the CTP4 of VS for DB professionals and it is awesome.! One question I have is this. I have a database with some 80+ tables. I am only interested in 2 tables. I created a datageneration plan to populate these 2 tables. The IDE picks up all of the correct foreign relationship/constrains and populate the join tables as well. This works great. However, when I run this data generation a second time, I get errors all over. It complaints that it can't delete rows on tables with foreign keys. It seems that it forgets the join relationships that it just populate... I have pull the schema from a production db and created a brand new one on my test server. So initially there is no data on the tables. Is there an option that I ...Show All
