• Salai Sivadhanam Missing Data Sources in VS C# Express

  In Visual Web Developer I can make ‘Data Connections’ to my development SQL 2005 server through the Database Explorer. When I ‘Add Connection…’ I get five ‘Data Sources’, however when I do this in Visual Studio C# Express I only get two (Microsoft Access Database File & Microsoft SQL Server Database File). I need to know how I can add more ‘Data Sources’ or at least the ‘Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient)’ Data Source so I can access my development SQL server. C# Express only supports local data (i.e. SQL Express & Access) Best regards, Johan Stenberg Yes, C# Express only supports local data.

• Raju Sreenivasan Can't connect to Team Foundation Server as proper user

• JoseEjecutin Please tell me that this has been solved in SP1...

  When you try to add a link from a work item to a versioned item in Source Control you may get an error "Unable to save all edited documents..." in Visual Studio. Someone said that this problem corresponds to a limitiation of the numbers of characters you may have in a file path (260 chars) but this happens to us in much shorter paths (around 100 characters). This is such a stupid limitation/bug which has huge consequenses on our project - please tell me that this has been solved in SP1 /Thomas Andersson Thomas, Firstly I want to apologize for any inconvenience that this issue is causing you and your team.

• susiekay Getting the string value out of a WMI query

  Hi Folks; I have a function that was available on the MSDN website to gather system information using WMI and it works beautifully. My frustration is this; the data (computer name for example) comes out as a BSTR. I also have a Win32 appl I'm working on so I want to be able to pass the name to my app so it can put it out onto a text field. The problem is there is no easy conversion that I'm aware of. A snippet of the code is as follows: ... VARIANT vtProp; VariantInit(&vtProp); // Get the value of the Name property HRESULT hr; hr = pclsObj->Get(L "CSName" , 0, &vtProp, 0, 0); _bstr_t b = vtProp.bstrVal; data.CompName = ( char *)b; ...

• Jehan Badshah Making a program run at startup (if user wants it to)

  Hi, does anyone know how to make a program run at startup, if a checkbox is checked ( i.e. checkbox in options dialog box checked or unchecked). Please help, thanks in advance I meant my own program, like is there code. Or is there code to make my program schedule itself in windows task scheduler A really good way to do this is to have the prgram start up using the windows task scheduler. Have the program examine its own checkbox and exit if the states are not as desired.

• wooten Master/sub-project support across TFS projects

  I just read the paragraph related to the limitation for master and subprojects to be within one TFS project, on the following MSDN article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244373.aspx.

If the sub-projects are connected to different team projects or have shared work items, you see errors. ...] When do you envision supporting this across TFS projects I currently have setup separate TFS projects, one for each group of systems, since each group is maintained by a separate team.

• K. Murli Krishna Work Item Access control based on Work Item Type?

  We'd like to give our customers access to TFS for reading e.g. bug-information. Thus we would need a speciel security group that controls this access, e.g. a "Bug-readers"-group. However, what is needed is to define access to particular types of Work Items, namely only Work Items of type "Bug". We don't want our customers to be able to see Tasks or Requirements. How can an access control for Work Items be set up for specific Types or based on information in other properties of a Work Item regards, *Martin. Sorry for the long wait on a reply. I don't have a good answer. You are correct that data in the warehouse is not secured the same way that data is inside Work Item T ...Show All
