• SQL Server Can I add a foriegn key on a indexed view to reference other table

  Is there anybody familiar with indexed view here Can I add a foriegn key on a indexed view to reference other table Thanks! No, and you wouldn't want to. Put the constraint on the table - that's the real data. The view is just that - a view, on the data in the table. The fact that you can index the view doesn't change that. You can use INSTEAD OF triggers on views to get things to happen when data is modified through the view but that wouldn't replace a foreign key constraint, rather it would be subject to the constraint as it should be. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching from a labeled version after a move

  Our problem is that when we were importing stuff from VSS into TFS we had to move some folders around to get a coherent folder strucutre for our source. Now, we need to branch from a labeled version that was labeled in VSS. We can find the label, but the contents of the label are the old file locations. When I try branching from the current location in the GUI, it can't find anything matching the label. When I try with the command line like so f:\newtest\tal\trading\oms\Tradesrv3>tf branch f:\newtest\TAL\trading\oms\tradesrv3 f:\newtest\tal\trading\branches\tradesrv3-v1.0.82.0 /version:L1.0.82.0 I get the error TF14064: Could not find label 1.0.82.0@$/TAL/trading/oms/tradesrv3 . When I try branching from the old loca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Label reports

  Hi, I have some problem for generate some query, I want to do a report from my labels, but on this report I want to add all documents and code that belongs to my labels, any idea how can I do this G'day, I am not a great specialist in reporting, but I believe that "code in label" part of your report belongs to Version Control and is accessible through the object model rather than through data warehouse cubes. As for labeled documents - how do you mean Labels are related to source code control and documents are stored in SharePoint and those two are not related. Yours truly, ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Updates and "Works with Windows Vista"

  Hello. If I certified my Software to get the "Works with Vista" Logo and the Software needs a Update to fix some Stuff. Is it necessary to repeat the Steps for Using the Logo Kind regards jping How about the Certified Logo program Recently, I spoke with a gentleman from Microsoft's ISV support team and he told me that you only need to get an application certified once. Subsequent updates/fixes/new features etc won't require going through testing again and you can use the logo. Is that true If so, great - I'll continue getting my software certified. If not, I might as well stop since it will be too costly to keep getting re-certified. Thanks, John. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Trial Expired, Microsoft Partner and I can't get the VS2005 Edition

  Title summarizes the issue. I am hoping that someone can suggest a fix or resolution to this other than Microsoft because I've hit a brick wall with their Partner support. So please help...... We are a Certified Partner with ISV Competency. As such, we should receive the VS2005 Team Edition for Developers. Those discs have never been sent to us. Recently my trial started warning me and we looked through the stack of discs to find out we do not have the new discs yet. So I contacted our ISV Partner Account Manager and he opened up a support case to send the discs. I have received the shipment but the discs were not in there. Since then I've contacted the support line for Certified Partners and was informed that the discs had ...Show All

• Windows Forms user control property using a generic list

  Hello First, sorry about my bad english... that's because I'm from Argentina, so I speak spanish, not english. But I'll do my best so you can understand me... thanks. I'm developing an user control (similar to a sidebar), and one of its propertys is a list of the options that the control shows. Every option is defined by an object of the class "Opcion" defined on the same namespace of the control. Following the standar practice, I have defined a private generic list of the type "Opcion" that contains the options that the control must show, and a public get-set method to access this list, of the same type (generic List of "Opcion"). So, when I add a control on a form, on its property page there i ...Show All
