• Visual Studio Team System view all change lists

  hi, i had two workspaces with files checked out on each. i checked in the changes for one workspace and to my dismay changes for both workspaces got checked in. not what i expected. so, i want to view the specifics of a change list relative to the database and not a specific file. i need to revert these changes that went in incorrectly but i don't know which files nor how many. i read somewhere that TFS was based in some manner on perforce which is very easy to use while in TFS...not so much. thanks, scott Microsoft's internal source control system (source depot) is based on perforce. TFS was written entirely from scratch, but our long-term usage of a p4-like system had an pretty obvious effect on the desi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Debugging WM 2003 SP with VS2005

  Is it possible to debug a WM2003 SP using VS 2005 All my attempts on several devices on several different desktops yield the same result: Access Denied.

• SQL Server file corrupted message on query of restored db

  The analysis services database is operational on original server where it was processed. I backed it up and restored backup on another machine, and it fails to display data with message like this: The query could not be processed: o File system error: The following file is corrupted: Physical file: \\ \F:\MSOLAPDATA\mycube.24.db\cubedev.119.cub\datafacts19.172.det\cubedev.67.prt.fact.data.

• Windows Search Technologies Stopping Search from a command line?

  WDS under Vista has huge performance issues for me- even after allowing 5 days for it to index, my HD runs excessively. The worst performance hits are when I'm running anything full-screen DirectX, at which point every 10-20 sec, I'll hit a pause of 1-2 seconds. Irritating. What I'd like to be able to do is stop the service from a command line. In XP, you could do this with something like "Net Stop "Windows Search"" in a batch file. In Vista, I get "System Error 5 has occured. Access is denied." Any workaround And I mean to the command line problem, not the performance problems... I would be interested in the response to this. Ever since I installed Desktop Search | ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. text mixed with 3d

  thought id ask another question while im at it. i want to display text on the hud of my 3d engine. i did some searching and came across some of the text components out there and chose the nuclex.fonts componenet (very good imo). this works fine on its own or with other 2d objects (eg. sprites) but if i render any 3d objects, all the 3d objects have z buffer issues. i noticed this problem when i first introduced sprites into my engine and it was fixed via the spritebatch.begin methods savestatemode parameter. however, this functionality doesnt exist with the nuclex.fonts package, so my 3d objects are all screwed again. is there another option to prevent this, or can someone tell me how to manually save my renderstate and restore it after re ...Show All

• .NET Development How to unregister a COM wrapped .NET assembly?

  Hi All, I created a COM exposed .NET 2.0 dll and registered with my Windows 2000 operating system using 'regasm' and 'gacutil' Then I tried to call this component from my classic ASP page. It worked fine. But, I need to change the functionality of my assembly. I unregistered it again using  'regasm' and 'gacutil'  utilities and copied my new .NET DLL and registered again.  But for some reason, i still have a pointer to my old assembly and new calls to the DLL from ASP page are not working. Any Ideas   I appreciate any help. Thanks     This is when it really helps to know the CLSID of your COM class because the registry at HKLM\CLSID\{Class guid} conta ...Show All

• SQL Server trigger- get row number from inserted/deleted

  I need to add the row number or record number to the 'inserted' and 'deleted' tables in a trigger. Among other things, I have tried- SELECT 1 as rowId, i.* INTO #ins FROM inserted i if @@ROWCOUNT > 1 --if multiple rows, set row number begin SELECT @pkWhere = coalesce(@pkWhere + ' and ', ' where ') + PKF.colName + ' <= i.' + PKF.colName FROM #primaryKeyFields PKF set @strSQL = 'update #ins set rowId = (Select Count(*) From #ins i' + @pkWhere + ')' exec (@strSql) end -the above sets rowId for every record to the total instead of sequential. Keep in mind that this code is used to create a trigger for any table, hence I cannot specify any column names literally. This SHOULD be simple... right ...Show All
