• Martin Rajotte Restoring TFS on a Virtual PC: problem with Sharepoint.

  Hi all, I'm making a proof of restoring our TFS on a Virtual Machine. I've managed to install TFS on the VPC, and it works ok. Then, I've followed the steps to restore TFS in another machine, and now I can't access to the Sharepoint Administration Central site, and I'm getting these errors on the event log viewer: ---------- Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: MSSQLSERVER Event Category: (4) Event ID: 18456 Date: 04/01/2007 Time: 9:01:29 User: AVANADE-TFS\TFSSERVICE Computer: AVANADE-TFS Description: Login failed for user 'AVANADE-TFS\TFSSERVICE'.

• Bo2n Always ignorean object during schema compare

  In some of our databases we have objects that we use only for development purposes. They don't need promoting through our test/QA/live environments. e.g. We have a sproc that renames all keys and constraints according to our internal naming conventions. Whenever I do a schema compare it picks up these objects. It would be nice to be able to tell Scema Compare - "Always ignore object XYZ". Is that a good idea Is it worth submitting at Connect -Jamie Jamie Thomson wrote: In some of our databases we have objects that we use only for development purposes.

• Michael Hansen make c#.Net apps load faster?

  i've written a few basic utilities for use at work which are very simple - a few buttons, a couple of DLL calls and some text output... my issue is that if you have rebooted a PC and not run any other .net apps, these basic utilities might take a good 10 seconds to load - can this be speeded up I find other people look down on this language as 2nd rate, other people's similarly simple/small utilities written in C++/MFC load virtually instantly... how can i put this right :-) as far as i can see, i'm just calling the bare minimum to display the window and call a dll.. :-( well the thing to check is your application coding. Make sure you are not doing things inef ...Show All

• Robert Barnes how to start the defect id from 1?

  Good Morning everyone my group has finally finished testing everything and im just wondering after we blow up our playground projects is there a way we can restart the defect id count back to #1 also what file has all the ID's stored   Thanks for your time and help I wouldn't worry about resetting ID to one, if I were you. I used to think the same thing, but that number is just a reference number for the work item. It isn't like I am going to do any analysis based solely on that number. If you do start from ID 1, will you really care if the next ID is at 700 in two months Sure, I wouldn't want to start at 1,000,000 because I may have to type in that ID number in the IDE from time to time, but star ...Show All

• MaryJaneF Watchdogged display loop

  Hi all, I need to display in a form the content of a simple text file (2 lines containing each an unformatted numerical value). This file is updated (re-created) automatically +- every 2 minutes by a industrial monitoring device. How can I display the content of my text file, requesting the refresh of my display form only when there is a file change I must not kill my machine because it is a terminal server with 60 users by writing a brutal loop (very interesting topic to read "loop with a pause", which is very close to my problem - responsiveness is not a problem for me.) I must not kill my local network either as my text file is situated on a drive mapped to another machine.... Thank you for paying attention to my reque ...Show All

• sha_70 Visual Basic Express edition 2005 freezes during setup.

  OK, I just downloaded Visula Basic Express Edition 2005, I've already uninstalled the .NET framework 2.0, and done everything the online instructions tell me too. My problem is this: When I run the setup program, everything goes OK untill the progress bar in the box that says "Setup is gathering the files needed for installation" gets about 3/4 of the way full, then it stops, I thought maybe it was just being slow, so I left it alone for 4 1/2 hours and still no progress, does anyone know what my problem is and how to fix it Here are the manual install instructions. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/ Umm.. can you tell me how to do that ...Show All

• gcox18 Query on web browser wrt Databinding.

  Hi, I have recorded a webtest with some values(say in the textbox) "XYZ". I have used databinding concept for the same and now the text file contains the different values say "ABC". On playback, I can see that only XYZ has been entered into the field from the web browser screen in results pane. However, on the real application, I can see, the value has been taken from the external file. Is it so Kindly suggest. Thanks - Vijay. I'm not sure I understand your question, you may need to clarify. It seems you recorded a page that had "XYZ" entered in a text box. You added databinding to the text box field that will cause it to read the value from a data source that suppl ...Show All

• deen FxCop 1.35 skipping Structs

  While analyzing the NodeType the FxCop 1.35 is skipping the Struct which itself is a NodeType. I tried the following code while overriding the Check(NodeType) but still the structs are not getting trapped public override ProblemCollection Check(TypeNode type) { if(type == null) { return null; } switch (type.NodeType) { case NodeType.Class: return Check((Class)type); case NodeType.Interface: return Check((Interface)type); case NodeType.EnumNode: return Check((EnumNode)type); case NodeType.Struct: return Check((Struct)type); } return base.Check(type); } I tried one workaround for this by overriding the Check(Module) method and checking for each type. There I can trap the Structs. But problem with this ...Show All

• nikita D. Handling COMException errors.

  I cannot find much help with handling COMExceptions, that is i want to trap the error raised when a table is locked by ODBC and bring this back to the user, rather than have the program simply die. The line that throws up the error is as follows. DBRset.Open("SELECT * FROM NEWBAR WHERE DATERCVD > \"22/08/2006 00:00:00\"", DBConn, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenDynamic, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockBatchOptimistic, 1); Thanks for the reply scott. The "\" character is there to allow the " to be used in the statment. the SELECT works fine, the problem i am having is that if the table has been locked (due to its piss poor design by our IT Unsupport guy, who imposed locking the entire table rather than ...Show All

• pessi How to Delete a File using VBX2005

  I have a problem on my program, In VB 6 I used "Kill" to delete a file that was previously from a picture box. When I used VBX 2005, i got an error, i cannot delete the file that i previously loaded in a picture box, it says "The file is being used by another application" Can u help me please:( I guessed that calling Dispose() would remove the lock but ran into lots of trouble making that work. This finally worked for me: Dim bmp1 As New Bitmap("c:\temp\test.bmp") Dim bmp2 As New Bitmap(bmp1) PictureBox1.Image = bmp2 bmp1.Dispose() Kill("c:\temp\test.bmp") Looks to me like Microsoft is forgetting to call Close or Dispose on their internal stream ...Show All

  I want to block the users to prevent read and/or write access to the CDROM or CDROMDrive in VB.NET. Can the same be happen for Floppy Drive also Do you want to do this programmatically It can be done with security policies. it would be tricky to do and would recommend applying group policy security on the system than creating this application. It will be easier and why re-invent the wheel when it can already been done in a few minutes :-) you would have to have some low level hooks - not even sure if there is an API that would expose access rights to the CD drive ...Show All

• Milos Kompjuteras tf get from linux

  Hi, I'm currently developing an application that centralizes compilations, the thing is, that the compilation is performed inside build servers, so, one compilation is fired from my application throw SSH in an windows NT server, another in a windows 2003, etc. Each build server performs an MSBuild, Nant, ant,bat, etc script, which performs a tf get from Team foundation server and then compiles the source code.
