• Lukasz Glaz Server not referred to by the FQDN

  I want the server to refer to itself ONLY by the FQDN. http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/2330/properties9sk.jpg if you have a look in the image - the server name is Fully Qualified, although the link that it will send the user to is not. how do i make them both be the same FQ thank you. What about the TFSNameUrl setting in the web.config Should/can I update that as well with the FQDN name Yes, that is true, the Sharepoint admin stuff always needs its own port.

• saffy_in_aus RTM accepts SQL Server 2005 Express for Local Validation Instance

  According to the ReadMe, the RTM (V1) of DB Professional will again work with a local validation database SQL Server 2005 Express (as did CTP6 and before).

• New user to SQl 2005 DLL Help "VBExpress"

  hi Someone can help me with dll creation I want only know how to do this. Thanks Shady I have been trying to learn about using dlls by creating controls in them. These dlls (controls) can be added to the toolbox. I wish some of the professional programmers on the forum would critique the following class library. (Seems to work okay.) And let me know if I am doing anything really stupid. I don't have any books on how to develop controls or dlls. ' This file, named Moneybox.vb is a class library project ' which creates a dll. The dll creates a control for numeric ' dollar amoumt input. ' Negative numbers are not supported Option Strict On Option Explicit On Imports Sys ...Show All

• _mthz Create New Website

  Does anyone know of a good tutorial showing the steps of creating a new website and adding it to souce control I have tried several times with little success. For example, do I start with some sort of project, such as a test project, and then add a new website to that Does it mater if create the web site using http or file system I have many questions and haven't been able to find a good site showing how do to this. Thanks My limited understanding is that 2005-style websites can be located anywhere (on disk, http, ftp) and can contain many assemblies, while 2003-style web projects must use IIS and always compile to 1 assembly. You can probably find a lot more info on www.asp.net and ScottGu's blog. ...Show All

• notacoder75455 Different size DLLs when building on the server vs Laptop VS build

  One of our developers brought this to my attention to research further... The developers have noticed that the sizes of the DLLs vary when built on their laptops vs a build on the TFS build server. Any clues as to why this may occur I'll get more details as the developers are availalble during the course of the day. For now I was looking at any direction you may offer as my TFS experience is very limited. Thanks TFSCLUELESS I'm seeing the same problem; when I build using team build , some DLLs that are written in C# are about half the size as the same DLLs built on the same machine by opening the solution and building locally. The DLLs are still the same wrong size when I build locally until ...Show All

• CLIPER Redirect to different Project Portal

  Hi, first of all my question: Can I change the project portal (link/reference) used by a team project Why am I trying to achieve with this... I am planning to migrate a larger project to TFS. Right now I'm evaluating if it is better for us to have one large Team Project including several versions of the project or having a Team Project (TP) for each version. The benefit of a single TP would be to have one overall structure within that project that applies to all the versions within that project. Within this common structure today there are concepts, Q&A, guidelines, training etc. documents concerning all the versions of the development. How can I create such a common documents area when migrating into several TP with severa ...Show All
