• nbie Project Portals stop working after restoring TFS from backups

  Synopsis of Problem: After restoring TFS from backups, the Project Portals cease working. When I try to load one I get the error message "The virtual server that is referenced here is not in the config database.". Full Story: In my evaluation of Team Foundation Server I decided to see how smoothly a backup and restore would go. The backup was easy enough. I backed up all the TFS databases (per this article ) and the reporting services encryption key (per this article ). With backups safely stored on a separate machine I wiped the server running TFS, reinstalled Server 2003, applied all available updates, and started the TFS install by following the instructions found in the installation guide for a single server configuration. ...Show All

  Maybe a Bug in Visual Studio 2005 SP 1 !!! I'm able to reproduce on different machines with Windows XP and Vista with (Vista Update for VS SP1) Problem: 1. Start Solution and run Tests - works fine as desired. 2. Rerun Tests - VS freezes and processorload becomes 50% Additional Information: We have a Solution with ~ 95 Projects and the tests are grouped together in ordered tests.

• Raulsassaa Program freezes before all possible numbers are generated.

  I wrote this little program as an experiment to generate a different random number each time a key is pressed.  If user keeps pressing key, it should continue until all 30 numbers have been selected but it freezes up before then.  Why (I know how to do this using an array, but I just wanted to experiment with a different technique.) Module Module1 Sub Main() 'buggy - stops and freezes before 30 Dim rand, ind, count As Integer Dim srand, st, norep As String norep = "" count = 0 Dim randnum As Random = New Random Console.WriteLine( "Press any key to continue, Esc to stop" ) Do count = count + 1 Do rand = randnum.Next(1, 31) srand = rand.ToString ind = nore ...Show All

• Ravel Query on response time

  Hi, I am doing load testing on web application. I have created web test and I am calling that test in my load test. Load pattern: Constant When I am running the test with 500 users response time was 4.8 seconds When I am running the test with 750 users response time was 3.7 seconds 1. When users are increasing, the response time also should increase right. Because the load is more in this second case the response time should also be more right. But test results were showing response time was less in second case (3.7 seconds for 750 users) compared to first case (4.8 seconds for 500 users). How it is possible where test went wrong Thanks, Shankar Hi, I have r ...Show All

• isaacb Capturing form dimensions

  Hi all, One of the things I'm trying to do with my current project is to preserve the most recent dimensions (x, y, w, h) of all the forms upon user exit. And then, when the user runs the program again, the settings are restored. Currently, I'm using the StreamWriter to send the form dimensions to a text file. This seems to work fine for my "main" window ("Me." below), but for some reason my other form ("OutputConsole") only holds the orginial values for the form when it was instanced. In other words, the values don't seem to be changing when I resize and reposition the window. What ends up happening is, the main form settings are captured, but the "OutputConsole" is only capturing the initial ...Show All

• olgaF Adding image to project resources crashes IDE and corrupts project

  I have this really annoying problem, and can't find any information on it anywhere. When I add an image to the project resources file, VCE crashes, and after restarting, I can't save any files or even exit the application without it crashing. When I try to exit, it prompts me to save the .sln file, and then crashes. This is what I did to cause the problem: 1. Select BackgroundImage in the properties of a windows form control, and click the '...' button to add an image. 2. Select "Project resource file". 3. Click the Import button. Select a file. Mine was called builder-bg.png and was 1kB in size. 4. Click OK. 5. Then control is returned to the designer, and after a few seconds the application crashes. Restart VCE go to the projec ...Show All

• Sam Vella Variables

  Hello, I need to know the different variables used in C#. Could someone give me a site or just tell me through a post what each of them are, and their definition. Thanks.

• Herru Perdana Development Project Plan not picking up all information

  When I open the Development Project Plan and load all the work items, the start dates and end dates are not loaded. Which may or may not lead to that the blue bars on the right are not shown. Why isn't Microsoft Project picking up the start dates and end dates /Chris Hello Chris, If you save the project plan after importing the work items, then you don't have to import every time. The project plan is stored in the Team Share point site. But I am still not sure why the dates are not getting imported. I will try reproducing the issue tomorrow. Thanks, I'm not sure how the mapping should be set up but it looks alright to me. Here is the mapping file: < xml version=& ...Show All

• sharpMoon Open an output file

  Hi there. I am using a serially connected camera with a C# application. My camera replies to the application with a visible ACK and then wirh non-visible bytes. I can read the bytes sucessfully but I cannot print them in an output *.txt file. The application opens the file but nothing is printed on it. In addition, I would like see on my screen only the ACK reply and not the symbol of the non-visible bytes (255 dec. in ASCII code).

• Chimme Handling simultaneously WorkItemChanged Events

  I have a web service listening to the event WorkItemChanged.   My question is : If two work items are modified simultaneously I assume two WorkItemChanged Events then are raised, but is my web service then called two times simultaneously or is it called one time and when it returns it is called again I don't think you can assume that TFS will serialize requests to your web-service, you should assume that you could be called concurrently, I agree with William, you should assume it can happen concurrency, also, keep in mind events are raised asyncronously, so WorkItem tracking system will not wait to the webservice answer. ...Show All

• FilipeTB CTP4 Import Schema fails on import of SQL 2005 stored procs

  I have 326 stored procedures to import. Only 4 of the 326 will import into SQL 2005 project. The import stops on the first procedure it does not support and will not continue. If I open a VS2005 database project, I can drag each stored procedure into VS SQL 2005 project, one procedure at a time, so it is in a file by the procedure name. I then add these files as existing SQL files into the CTP 4 database project. Is there a way around this This is slowing our build process down. We have 12 developers on site.
