• eTape Synchronizing TFS and Visual SourceSafe

  I am looking to perform an evaluation of TFS in our corporate environment. During this evaluation live development will be taking place. In the event that our developers determine that they are not ready for TFS I will need to move the source code back to VSS. Are there tools or a simple means to do this No, we don't have any tools to go backwards from TFS to VSS. You would need to write one, or you could simply check back into VSS the latest copies of all of the files and sacrifice the history. Buck We've just release CS-Converter v1.1. This version has a 'Synchronization mode' that allows you to continue using both version control systems, TFS and VSS, concurrently even after conversion. Changes performed on ...Show All

• hellomcv Import Database Schema error: Cannot sort a row of size 8132, which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8094.

  The error message is clear enough. To understand the problem, let's start the initial discussion with a description of the original database in question. The database has two tables that were at the maximum row size and everything was fine. After adding constraints to the database, those two tables ended up exceeding the maximum row size as these warning messages indicate: Warning: The table 'Table1' has been created but its maximum row size (8065) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.

• Jeff Williams Going back to Originating Form

  Okay, This may seem like a newbie question, and it probable is.  How does one go back to an originating form when the originating form could be one of many, many options.   So for example: You have twelve forms.  Each named (for simplicity sakes) Form1 through Form12.  Form1 can take you to each of the twelve forms. Forms 2-5 can take you forms 6-12. Forms 6-8 can take you forms 1, 2-5, 9-12 or they make go back to themselves (From Form 6 to Form 8 and vice versa) Forms 9-12 can take you 1, 2-5, 6-8 or they make go back to themselves (From Form 9 to Form 12 and vice versa) All Forms can always go back to Form 1 (which easy enough) But if I am on Form 9 and I want to go back to 5 (an orginating For ...Show All

  Hello, I am hoping I will end my struggle here. I have confidence in you ;) I am serializing a hashtabls in my sql database in a field of type "image" with length 16.

• Phonics3k In MSTest, group all test within a class together

  Hello, In MSTest, is there a way to ensure that all tests within a class are run together (Within an individual class, the tests can be run in any order) The problem I'm facing is that I use the ClassInitializer to setup a shared object that is specific to that test (the database). I then run 20 separate tests on this object. However, if I have two classes of tests, then the ClassInitializers conflict. In other words, What I want is all the tests for each class grouped together,like so ClassInitizer_1 Test_1.1 Test_1.2 Test_1.3 ClassInitizer_2 Test_2.1 Test_2.2 Test_2.3 However, the problem is that the tests from different classes are mixed together, and the classInitializers conflict, making the tests fail ClassInitizer_1 T ...Show All

• GlitchEnzo Tearing my hair out over a LNK2019

  Ok, let me explain my sob story: I am working with the Intel Performance Primative trying to do an FFT as fast as possible. My original compiler was Metrowerks Codewarrior. After reading the IPP manual, I succesfully implemented the IPP code into a DLL using Codewarrior. It is pretty darn fast. After talking with a CS friend of mine, he recommended using the Intel Compiler for even faster code, which is a plug-in for the Microsoft compiler. So I installed my old copy of Visual Studio .NET 2003 C++ compiler with the Intel Compiler on top. Alright, now to the fun part. I use the EXACT same code that I used in Codewarrior, and the VC++ compiler refuses to link succesfully. My code is basically (by basically, I have left out a ...Show All

• Mike Barry Table relationship

  I have 3 tables I am trying to relate for a music player. I was following the example in the msdn however, my relationships do not seem right. Here are tables i want to relate: Table 1: ArtistID ArtistName: Table 2: RecordingID RecordingName ArtistID Table 3: TrackID TrackName TrackNumber TrackLocation RecordingID So the main idea here is that the foreign keys are recordingId and artistID. So what i did is created the 3 tables and then make a diagram to create the relationships.

• mahima Directory Structure - Best Practices Question

  I'm sure this is a dumb question, but i'm a little confused about something. I am trying to set up my build machine to be able to build some of our projects (we've moved to TFS for source/version control and work item tracking, but not yet for builds). What are the "best practices" for having all of the required files on the machine to be able to build the sources. Not everything is included in source control for the project being built. Examples of things i'm talking about might be: Output of other projects developed by our team. Output of other projects developed by other teams (or 3rd parties). Includes/Libs from SDKs - WM SDK is the one i'm dealing with right now. I imagine that this can be done quick ...Show All
