• hpkrekt TFS Proxy server restarting automatically

  Hi We are using TFS proxy server and if we get the latest version by using Get specific version and with the checkbox "Force get of file versions already in work space " checked, the response is slow and it tooks hours to get the latest version. If we check the event log of the proxy server, I am often seeing the message "The VSTF server stopped" and after some time it is saying "The VSTF server started". I checked the statistics and it is saying cache hit percent is 95 and the other statistics are quite satisfactory. Looking forward for your reply Regards R.Balamurugan Hello Balamurugan, The TFS Proxy server uses ASP.net which will recycle every so often - it's a key asp ...Show All

• ihatems2 simulate keyboard, mouse events

  I am needing to come up with a way to program simulate ctrl v, and a mouse click. msdn states the best way is using hooks. other places say use sendinput, still others different ways. I have tried doing them all and as yet have no success. I am toying with having data on the clipboard. then with any of an assorted textboxs open , a mouse click will target whatever box its over. then i can paste using the ctrl v code.

• cnceric Major new discovery: the Platform SDK's MFC source code can be built and used with VC++ Express

  As you all may know, MFC is not included with Visual C++ Express 2005.   You'd have to purchase VC++ Standard edition to get MFC. But the MFC source code (no binaries) happens to be included with the Platform SDK, in the folders: <installed Platform SDK folder>\SRC\MFC and <installed Platform SDK folder>\INCLUDE\MFC There are some make files in there (mfcdll.mak etc), but the main MAKEFILE and export DEF files are missing.  If you have a copy of Visual C++ 6.0 you can get these missing files.  I have sucessfully built this version of MFC (both debug and release) and run a test app using this rebuilt version (I named it MFC42E.DLL) with very minor changes to the source cod ...Show All

• gafferuk QueryLabels error

  Hello guys, We have been using QueryLabels in order to retrieve the list of labels for specific item. It has been reported that in some case the following error occurs: A database error occurred (SQL error 2627) ---> Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#labelItems_______4D84EF49'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#labelItems' We see that the error occurs in some temporary tables on TFS database. The strange thing that it occurs and may be reproed only in one installation (RTM w/out SP), and what's more will occur only for some items. Additionally, the items that cause error are seemingly the same as the items that do not. May that be connected to scope parameter - but then, again the full item server path is s ...Show All

• BeckyB Changing VS edition on a production build server

  Hello, We're interested in expanding our use of VSTS from our current Dev + TFS workgroup setup, to incorporate the Test edition as well. Since we only have MSDN subscriptions for the Dev edition, we're using the Team Suite 180-day trial to play around and see if it meets our needs. Everything's working great on the developer machine side; we've built some tests and are happy with what we've got, but unfortunately, because our TFS build machine doesn't have the Test edition of VS installed, the necessary DLLs aren't installed, so we end up with a bunch of lines like this in our build logs: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets : warning : TestTypes\{37e36796-fb51-461 ...Show All

• Pockey Database path question

  Maybe I am missing something here. I have an attached MS Access database. I have tried both statements below. dbConn = New OleDbConnection( "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\GPS.mdb" ) dbConn = New OleDbConnection( "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\GPS.mdb" ) The second command works great. However, I don't want to update another database, I want to update the database attached to my project. I would think the first command would work, I don't get an error saying it can't find it, however, the record is not added and I don't get an error. Can anyone give me any assistance with this If the database is attached to your ...Show All
