• Virtual Reality New to creating reports

  Hello, We've decided to make a custom process template for our teams using Team System, and in it we need a couple of custom reports. I'm in charge of it, and I have absolutely no experience with Report Server and MDX. I've looked around for some sort of beginner's guide to creating reports, but haven't found anything suitable. So, can anyone direct me to a comprehensive guide to creating reports Or, if someone can help on the specific report I'm having problems with: We want a report that includes all the Requirement work items that are not linked to a task work item. Using the Report Builder, I can get all the requirements, and I can get all the requirements that are linked to a task. But I can't seem to be able to get all ...Show All

• Lovericky Invalid postback or callback argument

  Hi All, I'm getting this error message when playing back a request generated by Fiddler. This is an AJAX request (created by a third party control). This error appears on the second callback, and happens to be after two additional controls are loaded on to the page (not sure if this is relevent, but I am unable to recapture the $HIDDEN1.__VIEWSTATE as the responses are not recognised HTML). I've coded the test (removed some previous page calls) and highlighted the failing calls in bold: Public Overrides Sub Run() Dim request1 As WebTestRequest = New WebTestRequest( "http://localhost/v2.0.02/" ) request1.ThinkTime = 4 Dim rule1 As ExtractHiddenFields = New ExtractHiddenFields rule1.ContextParameterN ...Show All

• Steve B. VSTS MS Project integration

  I'm trying to implement logical operations in a VSTS WIT for project planning purposes, it appears to me there is no way to realize this. As a result of that i need integrate these operations in the project planning tool MS-Project. Subsequently i'm trying to break into the VSTS-MS Project refresh event on the project side to execute the logical operations there to avoid the necessity of a separate action using a project macro. Can anybody point me in the direction of avoiding the need of a MS-project macro for logical operations like calculations and data compare. Hello, During a refresh operation,if the data has changed we provide an alert to an user that it was changed. But we don't ...Show All

• fripper Passing Context Parameters Into Custom Validation Rules

  I have created a context variable from an extraction rule called $Parm1. I have added a custom validation rule with a public property to pass in this parameter. I have tried passing $Parm1, {{$Parm1}}, {$Parm1}, etc. When debugging I only see the parameter string passed into the property and not the value. Is it possible to pass a variable into a property May I know why you want to pass the value to the property If the property is only used by the custom validation rule, then in function Validate(), you can use e.WebTest.Context[ParameterName] to get the value. Ahh ha! I just was reading your post and it occurred to me that we are experiencing the same issue (see my post in the forums ). I co ...Show All

• arkiboys Extremely slow reloading of project with CTP4

  Hello, I've got a project that's rather large; about 3-4000 objects. I spent the better part of a few days either fixing errors in the error list or removing the offending procs/tables temporarily to at least get a clean project. Now I have it with no errors, but opening up the project takes (and i'm not exaggerating here) roughly 3 1/2 to 4 hours(!) My machine, while not brand new, is no dog either. 2.8Ghz with 2GB of RAM. I'm going to have a co-worker tomorrow try it out to see if his newer and faster machine fares better, but obviously this is unusable for me right now. Anyone have any suggestions as far as what I might do to speed up opening Is there some sort of validation I can turn off like I can for XHTML errors with web page edit ...Show All

• Sailesh Rathi Who wants a FxCop VS2005 add-in?

  Hello, I have written a simple add-in for VS 2005 to enhance integration with the IDE for those who are not using the Team System version of the product.

• TheFoZ Another warehouse not updating :(

  Hi folks, i've noticed our warehouse reports are updating/working. eg. Remining Work Report Generated: 6/06/2006 4:16:54 PM by Domain\User; Last Warehouse Update: 21/05/2006 5:41:04 AM. I can use http://localhost:8080/Warehouse/v1.0/warehousecontroller.asmx in IE and it works (well, it says TRUE and pretty soon after that it (refresh IE) says FALSE).
