• crogenicdude Negative Database Unit Test

  How do I do a Negative DUT ie if I've got a stored procedure which adds a user to a database and takes a user name as a parameter, it raises an error if the user already exists, which is what I want. If I want to observe this behaving correctly, how do I do it Currently, because the sp raises an error, this makes the test fail Thanks wBob (Examples in T-SQL and/or C# please ; ) OK, so I got this to work with BEGIN TRY / CATCH block. So this test says, "If NTLogin is null, and sp raises an error saying 'NTLogin is null' then the test passes. Any other errors, then fail. Thanks Bob. No problem Bob ; ) wBob BTW I've succeeded in making this test data-driven, so it picks up ...Show All

• Will Merydith Error 26 while running a webtest

  Hey, I created a new solution with webtests and when I try to run the webtests, get an error Server was unable to process request. ---> An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

• ivanchain Hover popup?

  I'm wondering is it possible to create a thing where you have say a picture box and when someone hovers their mouse cursor over it a small window pops up and displays some information. Im not talking about a message box but rather like a proper looking kinda window. See my reply at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1192670&SiteID=1 It may be what you are looking for. I believe that you are wanting to use a tool tip.

Sorry, I nuderstood, you wanted to show some information about a picture box, not the other way around. Hi. You are ...Show All

• Heinz Krug Data Generation - Unable to bypass circular references

  I'm trying to create a generation plan for my database but keep hitting the problem of "Table <x>: The Data Generation plan contains a circular reference. Population cannot continue". Note that I didn't design this database There are two tables, Survey and Property. Survey is many-to-one related to Property, and so has a foreign key of the PropertyId On Property there is a column called SurveyToUse which is a foreign key to Survey. Apparently there is nothing I can do to avoid the error. In theory, I should be able to deselect generation of the SurveyToUse column in Property (it's nullable), which will avoid the circular reference. Sadly this doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to get around ...Show All

• arunvjadhav Errors loading web tests

  In developing multiple web and load tests, I am beginning to experience bizarre behaviors by Visual Studio 2005. I have about 15 web tests and wanted to make some load tests to excercise them. If I add the web tests to a List in the Test Manager, and then add the tests from that list to a load test, everything seems fine. Until I close the solution and re-open it. On load I'm getting seemingly random errors saying: "In attempting to Load Login from Login.webtest, it was determined that a test with the same ID named Login in Login.webtest already exists. What should be done with the test already loaded " (Replace / Keep / Abort) This is obviously a less then helpful error message. If I hit replace, the test will be check ...Show All

• NessDan link requirements and tasks

  hi, i created a "MSF for CMMI Process Improvement" project. in this project i created a requirement to manage the requirements for the project. but i do not find anything, to link the requirement with a task. is this possible in tfs it would really hurt if it is not possible. edit: i found the possibility to add a work item to a task. "add related work item" . there i can choose "requirement". but if i choose "requirement" i can just add a new requirement and not an existing one. in our project development we have requirements (mostly defined by the customer) and then we have a number of tasks which are allocated to a requirement. we use an access database to manage these requirements. and now we want to use tfs to do this. but how edit2: ...Show All

• YMaod Team Build Fails when Passing Types as Parameters

  When our developers build the solution on their workstations the build completes just fine. However, when a build is performed on the build server there are errors. This typically involves places where attributes are added to methods. The type that is being passed as a parameter is part of the same solution and the project has a valid reference.

• Lightening Link errors : InterlockedBitTestAndComplement, MemoryBarrier, RtlSecureZeroMemory

  Well, I rarely ever post for help but I am at a complete loss, and am not sure if anyone can really even help with this problem. Anyways, here it goes: I have written a ruby extension which compiles and runs fine on Mac OS X and several *nix systems. I have been working on porting it to a windows system. It currently compiles fine, but completely craps out on the linking stage.

• Bdenison CTP5 - Linked Server Problem

  After importing a schema I am getting errors saying I need to add a particular server as a linked server. I have done this but I am still getting errors. Am I correct that I needed to add this linked server on my local laptop (the machine containing my DB Professional project) I've done this but cannot get rid of my errors. Thanks for your help - Amos. Am I correct in assuming then that I cannot use CTP5 for any project containing linked servers Amos. This is a known problem in todays build, since we do not track dependencies beyond the project (user database), we do not have a solution yet, but we are working on how to best handle the use of linked server, 3 and ...Show All
