• Visual Studio Team System Security Problem with Importing a New Work Item Type

• SQL Server How to group by time that spans two dates! Help!!!

  Lets see if some of you RS Gurus can help me on this. I have a start_time column that returns the date and time. I have converted these out to return the date for one column and the time (24 hours) in another column. I have a report that I need to group by a 24 hour period that starts at 20:00(8pm) and should end again 24 hours later (20:00) 8pm. This should be my time period for each day. The problem is that when I group for each day it is returning the results for the day on a default 00:00 to 00:00 time period. I need to group for each day but I need that days time to be from 8pm to the following 8 pm. So for my polling results I am getting some stores that look like they posted twice for one day instead of once so my count is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Demand Loading of my Add-In

  Hi all, Is there any option to load an add-in to excel on demand. I do not want the add-in to be made visible always or only for specific document. I want this add-in to run only on one instance. Excel allows multiple instance to be open and as well open multiple instance of a document (in read only mode). Is there any way, I could call my addin as a command line parameter while opening Excel.EXE Hi Cindy Thanks...I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Yet to be certain if its the way out.

• SQL Server How to Save a query result in ANSI in SQL 2005?

  Hi When I was using Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) and stored my query result (to file), it was stored in Ansi Encoding. After I upgrade to SQL Server Management Studio (2005), it seams that when I store the query result to file it's Unicode Encoded. This give me a lot of trouble, when I use other program who I must read this file. For small result set, I can open it in Notepad, save it as ANSI, and then use it in my other program. When the result set is so big that Notepad not can help me, I can't use the stored result set. There must be a way to store my Query result in Ansi encoding, but I don't know how I can do it. Hope some one know, and can help me solve this big problem. JF When the Save Results dialog box Open cli ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) turn tooltip visible

  How can I turn a tooltip visible (forced). If I use IsOpen = true, then it stays there forever. What I actually want to do is: if the mouse is hovering over the control, and I need to display some info to the user in a tooltip, then I want the tooltip to show. Currently, if I am hovering, and I change the tooltip property to Visible, it doesn't also show it. Any ideas I a little bit confuse on this discussion. I try the code above and I didn't found any propertied of IsOpen on tooltip. I also want to show the tooltip manual even not focused on the control that I want the tooltip to be showing. e.g I have put a textbox and a button, now every I click the button the tooltip on the textbox will be showing.

• Visual Studio Team System Always ignorean object during schema compare

  In some of our databases we have objects that we use only for development purposes. They don't need promoting through our test/QA/live environments. e.g. We have a sproc that renames all keys and constraints according to our internal naming conventions. Whenever I do a schema compare it picks up these objects. It would be nice to be able to tell Scema Compare - "Always ignore object XYZ". Is that a good idea Is it worth submitting at Connect -Jamie Jamie Thomson wrote: In some of our databases we have objects that we use only for development purposes.
