• Visual Studio Team System code churn - ignore binary files?

  Is there any way to get the reports to ignore code churn that occurs in binary files For example, we have a custom references directory that contains several assemblies. When the assemblies are checked in, the code churn goes to several hundred thousand lines of code... Which is wrong. What can I do Thanks, Okay, we gave up and pulled the assemblies out of our custom references directory. MS, one thing to consider for a future release of Team Foundation Server is project dependencies. It would be nice if any dependencies required to build a project were automatically installed on the machine at the time that the project is checked out. OR Simply allow us to have directories that when modified (files updated, deleted, added) do no ...Show All

• Visual Studio COM Integration Error with Word

  I am having problems with a program that generates MS Word documents. When I click the button that generates the document, it throws an error that roughly says that (I don't have the program running right now, so it is not exact) there is a problem converting a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application object to a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application interface. Any ideas First, ensure that you are using the official Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) from Microsoft (download and install them) for Office 2003 or Office XP (2002) and not just Interop assemblies generated by VS. Second, read some articles about PIAs at: http://www.mztools.com/resources_office_addins.htm such as "Office XP Primary Interop Assemblies ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Why would anyone want to install WDS 3 instead of 2.6.x?

  Is it just me or does WDS 3 just seem broken I am trying to understand why I should install WDS 3 when it seems that many features I use each day have been removed. Examples include requiring an add-in to search UNCs, no Group Policy support, no PDF iFilter. Another problem is many of the iFilters I currently use don't work with WDS 3 like the old PDF iFilter. Does this mean that Search in Vista is just as broken Someone indicated that there was a whitepaper or document explaining how to chose the version to install. Does this document really exist --Greg David, Thanks for the reply. My two main concerns are the ability to index a UNC without an add-in and inability to select/unselect speci ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Service installation in Vista

  Hi, During setup my software attempts to install a service, and Vista claims that it can't identify a publisher and asks if I still want to install (i.e. trust the 'unknown' publisher) or reject the setup. All files to be signed in the package are signed properly with a "true" publisher certificate. Surfed through MS pages, MSDN and have found a lot of info about drivers signing and installation, but nothing concerning cervices set up under Vista. Is there any specific procedures or best-practices for such tasks Best regards, Kostya The presence of a certificate by itself isn't what makes this safe for the customer. I can give you a signed program, but why does the fact that it's signed make it safe The point here is that ...Show All

• SQL Server Writing RowCount variable to table

  I have a series of tasks in a Sequence Container. One of them is a Data Flow task, and inside that task is a Row Count transformation that counts the number of rows I add to a table. The Row Count transformation was added to record the number of rows written to a table in a log table. When I try to retrieve the resulting variable (RowCount) in the Data Flow task, I get the default value (0). When I try to retrieve it in a subsequent task, I get the value 1. When I try to consume it in the OnPostExecute Event Handler of the original Data Flow task, I get a value of NULL. 1) When is the appropriate time to call the variable assigned to a Row Count transformation so it can be written to a log table 2) Is there a way during debugging ...Show All

• Visual Basic Date Problem

  Hi everyone~ I’m stumped on something that I thought would be simple. I’m trying to figure out how to determine if the LastModifiedDate of a file was yesterday. Not 24 hours ago, but simply yesterday. I have a third party program that converts files and moves them to a specific folder. Anything converted and moved after midnight gets a new date in the file name (MM/DD) and continues doing it’s thing. I want to set up an event that will work with only files that were created yesterday, even if they are less than an hour old. I don’t know if I am on the right track, but so far I have one variable (TodaysDate) as 09/03/06, and the file’s DateLastModified (FileDate) as 09/02/06. But now I can’t figure out how ...Show All
