Visual Studio Team System How do I view all Pending Changes for other users
1. How do I view all Pending Changes for other users within the studio (equivalent to status search in SourceSafe) i.e. i want to see which files are checked out to someone else ( I have deployed and am working with the RC version of Team Foundation Server and latest client) 2. How do I undo pending changes without causing a get latest and overwiting my local copy ! Cheers Yoni Sorry, missed question #2. Undo does not Get Latest -- it downloads the version you had before you checked out the file. Of course, this does overwrite whatever changes you've made. That's by design. I can't think of any situation when I'd want to undo the pending change without also undoing the file contents. ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Notifying a Distributed Workflow of State Changes
Picture this scenario: You have a central workflow, hosted however you see fit (WCF, Web Services, Remoting, whatever) and you have three different Windows Forms applications consuming this workflow. Each application can cause the workflow to change state, but I also want each application to listen for state changes to the workflow . My current train of thought involves linking the Windows Forms applications in a peer network, and whenever one peer changes the state of the workflow, the other peers are notified via service messages. The problem I'm having is that the peer network isn't functioning properly - using PNRP the peers don't detect each other reliably (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't). So, I'm wondering: do I take t ...Show All
.NET Development dotnet 3.0 general question
I just installed the .net 3.0 sdk on my home computer with visual studio 2005. Does installing the framework have any effect on 2.0 projects Like will i have to say in visual studio what to compile under I'm confused about if there is a compile as 3.0 option, or if everything still compiles as 2.0. Also, if it is 2.0, what do you include to use new language features like var I'm confused about this and i also want to install it at work, but i don't want to mess up any of our projects. What about raw language enhancements then like for instance "var" Do you have to include a using statement or dll for them How does it know to include it ...Show All
Visual Studio Datasource List<String> problem
I have a custom business object that returns a List<String>. In the Report designer, it allows me to use the following property values to bind a textbox to: Fields!Chars.Value Fields!Length.Value The Length works fine and returns the correct lengths for the strings, but the Chars never returns anything. Since Chars doesn't appear to be a property of the String class, I'm wondering if that is the problem. I've tried some other combinations "Fields", "Value", but I can't get anything to work. Does anyone have any ideas I know the actual text is in the object since the length works, and I also switched to a custom class that only contained a string and returned a List<customclass> and that worked fine.

SQL Server Server options are not being executed from local programatically code??
Dear all, For example, executing a DTSX stored in a server, execution is fine and successfully but the log file attached to that DTSX is not created at all after the execution. Otherwise if I'm going to execute from the server everything is fine: log file is created and gathering the usual information. Let me know if exists any option for to enable this from the own DTSX. If I run local packages log files are created without problems. Thanks in advance, Enric, You told me that the path to the log file is a local path (i.e. of the form c:\....). Now you seem to be telling me its not. Which is it Just copy and paste the path out of the package in SSIS Designer - that's all I am after. -Jamie ...Show All
SQL Server Best and quickest approach to importing thousands of 2 meg XML files into XMl column?
Hi all, I intend to use SQL Server 2005 (which I haven't used before), to store hundreds of thousands of XML files this autumn and I'm trying to figure out which approach is the best to do this. These files are very complex (multiple nested elements) and use multiple namespaces (imports).The files will be on the same server as the Database. Below is a list of some ideas I have. 1) Use Some DTS process to import the XML files if possible in SQL Server 2005 2) Create a stored procedure that interates through a local directory, opens each XML file and inserts it's content into the database column using the bulkload method (any examples would be appreciated). Does this require the use of some scripting code such as VB script 3) Run a server-si ...Show All
Visual Studio Is there any plan to improve the native Babel package?
We have noticed that the native Babel code is not updated in V3 of the VSSDK. File timestamps are still 1/11/2006. Is there any plan to improve the native Babel package Currently the threading problem in Parser::OnColorize is killing us. The editor deadlocks all the time, and users very unhappy. We'd have to recommend downgrading to VS2003 if there's no fixes planned for it. We'd really appreciate it if the SDK team can give us a headup on the issue. Thanks. Hi John, Thanks for your feedback, we currently do not have any plans to update the native Babel package, but we are open to fixing any bugs that are blocking you. Can you please send me more information about the issue you are see ...Show All
Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0 Beta 2 desktop search leaving shadow
I have had a couple of occasions where I use the Search Desktop box on my (top of screen) taskbar to search for an item. When I click More... for Communication (I am using Outlook 2007 B2TR) I see the pop-up search window blink a few times covering the full search window. When I click X to close it, the shadow stays on the screen and I must logout to remove it. NOTE: I can get the pop-up window to blink twice before closing every time just by clicking in the Search Desktop box then clicking on the X, however this does not cause the shadow to stay behind. While it has happened more than once (and I rarely use the Desktop search, normally I use the Outlook one), I can not reproduce it consistently. I am running a lot ...Show All

Visual Studio Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe.
I'm unable to install SQL Express 2005 on a windows 2003 server. I have installed it on several 2003 servers, but for some reason, the one I need it on will not install. I have tried the manual install, and the command line install. Both give the same error. Setup gets to the point where it is configuring the server, and then I get the following error. SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe. At this point in time, I can go to services and see that the SQL Service is running, so it has started. However, upon failure, when I hit cancel, the process ro ...Show All
