• Visual Studio Team System Error: No Pending Changes - But there are changes!

  Hello, Sometimes we're experiencing the following annoying behaviour with our TeamFoundation Server (RTM) and the TeamExplorer: A file was checked out and changed, and if I try to check in the changes ("Check in pending changes..."), TeamExplorer says "Error: No Pending Changes" and does nothing. This is not safely reproducible though. But it still gives our team a really bad feeling about migrating to TeamSystem (we're at it right now, and we're running into several small glitches). Whatever, right-clicking the directory and selecting "Refresh" solves the problem. Has anybody else experienced this problem and knows why or when it appears Best regards, Martin Do you mean Sou ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Serializing CustomVertex

  Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.CustomVertex is not marked as Serializable, so an array can not be Serialized. Is there any way to overcome this Thanks. Hey man! please stop laughing at the people who’s trying to help you. After all, It is you who is asking for help. Have your extra intelligence ever put it’s hands on the fact that the CustomVertex is just an structure and that you can define your own, marked as serializable You don’t need at all the structures defined in DX.

• SQL Server Word/RTF from SQL to Display

  I have Word and RTF objects stored in SQL. I return them along with some other strings. But I can't get the Word and RTF objects to display as they should. I can only display them as strings, showing the formating codes, instead of formatting the output. How do I display the output as it looks in Word This thread may help. http://blogs.msdn.com/bimusings/archive/2005/12/14/503648.aspx ...Show All

• SQL Server Set limited to 4,294,967,296 tuples, Excel queries bad in 2003, good in 2007

  The expression contains a function that cannot operate on a set with more than 4,294,967,296 tuples. Chris Webb takes up an internal limitation where sets seem limited to 4,294,967,296 tuples here: http://spaces.msn.com/cwebbbi/blog/cns!7B84B0F2C239489A!473.entry I have the same problem but in the whereclause instead and wonder if anyone has any workaround. I can use WITH MEMBER foo AS (AGGREGATE(offending set,measure)) to achieve a correct result but it's performance compared to using the same set in the where-clause (tested on smaller cubes that allow both of course) ranges from poor to unworkable. Any suggestions Hi, I have the same problem when attempting to add ...Show All

• SQL Server Complaints about SSIS

  I'm sure Microsoft has heard most of these complaints many, many times, but I just have to rant about the issues I've encountered with SSIS over the last few weeks. Basically, SSIS, IMO, is a pile of dog ***. Yes, it gets the job done, but only in an extremely inefficient fashion: Objects are ID'd by a GUID. This means that, (for instance) if you change a connection by deleting an existing connection and replace it by another, all of the objects using the old connection break -- EVEN IF YOU USE EXACTLY THE SAME CONNECTION NAME -- because they only know the connection by the GUID. Deleting the old Connection, even if you rebuild the new one with exactly the same name, pointing at exactly the same server, etc., breaks everything because a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Listview content Wrap

  Is there a way to have the control list items like in a list box but when the bottom of the screen is reached have a new column formed so that all of the content is on the screen I.E. If the screen can hold 40 rows of data and I have 100 rows to display I would end up with three columns of data. Thanks in advance If I understand correctly, you can use WrapPanel < ListBox Name = " list1 " Height = " 200 " > < ListBox.ItemsPanel > < ItemsPanelTemplate > < WrapPanel Height = " 200 " IsItemsHost = " True " Orientation = " Vertical " ></ WrapPanel > ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Simple BlackJack game in XNA (zipped up project files)

  Hey all, just been trying to learn GSE, and I made a VERY basic BlackJack game, which hopefully may help someone else get started. I tried to comment the code, and I know there's a LOT of room for improvement. Input on how to make some of my classes more generic (maybe even make the components) would be appreciated. Such as: Card class (uses tiles in a texture to build the card, so each face value and suite symbol is listed in the texture) Deck class (actually a class to hold a deck and several hands or piles of cards) BMPFont class (a very rough and dirty, but functional tile based rendering engine) You can get it here: http://www.preik.net/xna/cardgame.html WQP wrote: Hey all, just been trying to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TSQL Debugger is not working after installing "VSTS - Database professionals"

  Hi, After I have installed VSTS - Database professionals CTP5 I have found that TSQL debugger is not working any more. When I put breakpoint into the stored procedure and do "Step into Stored Procedure" the break point became disabled and the message is "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. Unable to bind SQL breakpoint at this time. Object containing the breakpoint not loaded." I'm absolutely sure that this was working normally before the installation of the CTP5. I'm guessing that something was done to the security settings by the installation package. I hope it is fixable.

  Hi all... I’m testing CTP5 with refresh bits, and in the middle of project development, i’m wondering if this product is safe enought to use as a development tool And if not yet, wich other product i can start using for DB projects.

• .NET Development WriteNode(XmlReader,false) inserts empty namespace attribute

  Hi, I am using WriteNode(XmlReader,false) to insert an XML fragment into my XmlWriter but it adds an empty namespace attribute (xmlns=""), which causes problems. How I can I prevent this Thanks, Tad That can only happen if the writer is currently writing elements in a default namespace while the fragment you read in does not declare a default namespace. You can use an XmlParserContext to work around that, here is a .NET 2.0 C# example: XmlWriterSettings writerSettings = new XmlWriterSettings (); writerSettings.Indent = true ; const string ns1 = "http://example.com/2007/ns1" ; using ( XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter .Create( Console .Out, writerSettings) ...Show All
