• Visual Studio Team System ACTUAL Expected Behavior of the <WHEN*>, <DEFAULT> and <COPY> Rules

  I am reading through Section 1.16 in the Authoring Work Item Types document and although it makes perfect sense I am not actually seeing this behavior. To quote from the documentation: 1) A user gestures to create a new work item or edit an existing work item. 2) Fill in field defaults. For all fields, use any <DEFAULT> rules which are outside <WHEN*> rules. 3) Copy field values. For all fields, use any <COPY> rules which are outside <WHEN*> clauses. 4) For all fields with a <WHEN> rule that matches first do <DEFAULT> then <COPY> rules inside. 5) For all fields with a <WHENNOT> rule that matches, first do <DEFAULT> then ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# Express SP1 - Need to install?

  I see that the first Service Pack for all the Visual Studio editions has been released. As users of GSE/C# Express, should we be installing SP1 I'm guessing Yes, but not seen anything in these forums about it so far. errolian wrote: I see that the first Service Pack for all the Visual Studio editions has been released.

• SQL Server EXEC permission on a SCHEMA COLLECTION???

  I have a permissions problem with a table/procedure that I hope someone can help me with. To set the scene ....... All my procs/tables/functions etc are owned by dbo. I have a windows security group that is granted permissions to EXEC all procs. No one has permissions to tables.

I have a proc that selects from this table and uses the computed date column for filtering. However, the select statement is build dynamically and uses sp_execute to perform the SELECT.

• .NET Development Thread Safety on accessing WriterSeqNum and AnyWriterSince() in ReaderWriterLock??

  Hi all, I know microsoft declares the ReaderWriterLock is thread safety in multithreaded opertions.

Can I directly access the "WriterSeqNum" property for comparison and then acquire the locks when changes detected Any experts have experience this situation Please kindly advised. Thanks! Thanks for your kind attention, Raymond That's correct. Get the reader lock, then use AnyWritersSince(oldseqnum) to check if any other thread has obtained the writer lock to write something. If it returns True, read the new data and store the WriteSeqNum property in o ...Show All
