• Visual Studio Team System Best Practice for Adding a NOT NULL Column

  What's the recommended process for adding a NOT NULL column on an existing table controlled by Database Professional This may seem like a no brainer by editing the table script but follow the process all the way from the time the developer modifies the table script AND uses Write Updates to update the a schema. The Write Updates button will fail because the NOT NULL column cannot be inserted without a default value when the table already has data in it. Do we really have to put a bogus default value just to get the column added We ended up putting a bogus default value so Database Professional could apply updates as it normally does and we could create a SQL script for our DBA to apply the updates to other databases. We then coded a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System automatic bug creation

  I am currently running tests in Team suite edition for testers. Upon a test failure, is there any way to automatically generate a bug in TFS as opposed to right clicking the failed test and generating the bug that way Thanx Hello, We currently do not support that option. Tests can fail by several reasons, and sometimes it could be that something weird or external happened and made the test fail. If this was the case, then Visual Studio would automatically open many bugs for you, and they may not even be bugs. This was one of the causes that lead us not to go for the automatically-generated bugs feature. We do appreciate your feedback and will consider adding a switch to enable that in future ver ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Image as Thumbnail in Data Grid?

  I did a search through the knowledgebase, but couldn't find anything about this. I have a SQL Database, and want to display an image as a thumbnail in one of the data fields. I cannot figure out how to do this, but figure it must be possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like it to take a large image and resize it automatically for the thumbnail, but don't want to impact performance too badly, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Matt That's not what the code said. I was giving you an example. You need to instantiate an image class as a class. You need to get your sql data into it and convert it into a thumbnail.

• Windows Forms Help in implementation of a magnifying glass

  I have an image viewer application which I want to apply a magnifying glass effect on certain area of the image. The problem I've run into is that when I slowly dragged the magnifying glass across (when left mouse down) the magnifying glass window didn't move smoothly. I believe it has something to do with drawing the graphics of the original image on the background. May someone please help me solve this issue Thanks. Actually I wasn't using BitmapData class to deal the the magnifying work. Basically I have two classes: (1) MyImageViewer and (2) MyMagnifyGlass In the MyMagnifyGlass class, I have the following code to move the magnifying window to center to the mouse location: public void MoveTo(Point locat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Table Variables crash Import Database Schema

  In my database a single user declared function contains table variables and insert statements into those table variables. When the Import Database Schema command is run only some functions and some stored procedures are imported into the project and although all tables are imported none of their indexes, constraints, and keys are imported into the project. After dropping the single function with the table variables and rerunning the Import Database Schema command, the entire database schema is successfully and correctly imported into the project.
