• Visual Studio Team System Build fails as the DLLs are in separate directory.

  Hi, I am trying to do a team build but it fails while local build happens successfully. Teh reason is perhaps because in the build I am trying to copy the files(DLLs) in a separate directory so in team build, it gives error that error while copying ABC.DLL to the location, access is denied. My directory where DLLs are stored is also added in Source control. How can I tackle such a situation in TFS. Thanks, Ekta Ekta, I'm not sure I fully understand what you're saying but if you're stating that the Team Build process can't copy the DLLs to a specific folder (or set of folders) then you should give the user account that Team Build runs under permissions to the destination folder(s).

• SQL Server Stored procedure calling a webservice to clear the Cache

  Hi All, I am in a typical situation where my stored procedure must, at the end of its execution, call a webservice to purge the cache. Is it possible If so, can any give me some help in achieving the same To give you all a more clearer picture, we have a dotnet application which calls a stored procedure. After that, the same application calls a webservice to purge its cache.

Hence, my question above. An early response will be highly appreciated. Thanks Sekhar PC I'm not sure I am fully understa ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Agent Performance Condition Alerts not available

  I am running SS2005 SP1 Developer Edition on Windows 2000 Professional SP4 connected to a corporate network (using group policy). In SSMS, under SQL Server Agent, trying to define a Performace Condition Alert is not functioning. There are no entries in the drop-down lists for any performance objects or attributes. Attempting to enter the object and attribute names (copied exactly from Performance Monitor) always creates an error, stating the object doesn't exist. It seems as though there is no connection between SQL Agent and the performance counters. Any suggestions Thanks in advance, Richard ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30040: The database is not correctly configured - After applying SP1

  I'm using TFS Workgroup Edition, this box was built from the ground up with a virgin Win2k3 Standard installation when TFS went RTM, so it has never had any beta bits on it. Updated: SQL Server 2005 SP1 has been applied to this box. I installed the VS80-KB919156-X86.exe (Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Quiescence GDR) and then rebooted. I then installed TFS SP1 without errors. I rebooted again. I was able to get the latest source but when I go to add a new project or solution, I get the error: "Error TF30040: The database is not correctly configured." dialog. Using SQL 2k5 Profiler, I set a trace to see what was going on behind the scenes. I noticed this command towards the point where I get the error dialog : exec prc_UpdateLocalVer ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox 360 Project to Windows Project

  I was wondering if there is a easy way to recompile an Xbox 360 project to a Windows project, because I can't always be connected to my xbox to test out what i'm working on since the xbox is shared by the family. So can I make a change to my program an recompile it for windows so I can see if my change worked and once i'm done making changes to the program I can then build it for the xbox and try it out. Thanks Yeah, the assembly reference issues are the trickiest/nastiest, but this definitely works (at least at build/deploy time). My little group of developers tends to work based on documentation anyway; intellisense is just a bonus. For a project with minimal reliance on external assemblies though, this ...Show All

The standard reply, that everything is okay is HTTP/1.0 204 No Content Content-Length: 27 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 HTTP/1.0 204 No Content The client complains about this reply with the error message The content type text/plain; charset=UTF-8' of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is properly implemented. Usually, the messages sent to the server are text/xml encoded. Is there a possibility to let the client accept this encoding, too It would be good, if this would ...Show All
