• Visual Studio Team System .dbproj files to be read inside a Developer Edition of VSTS?

  At my workplace we have a number of editions of VSTS, one of those being the new Database Projessionals version for our DBA. We used to create a Database project, then had an app to combine all the .sql files into a master file for execution against our development server. It seems now that this new project type can better integrate into our build server and we will no longer need to use this sql joiner app. Regardless, all developers could view the standard Database project, but these new SQL Server 2005 (.dbproj) files are unreadable by the Developer edition of VSTS. While developers won't be doing many database changes, it's nice for us to be able to get latest and do small changes with code review on our databases, but moving to this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I store the first column of a dataset in a string array?

  Hi! Ok, so I figured out how to populate a dataset with data via an XML file and bind it to a datagridview.

• Visual Studio Debugging .Net Class Lib called from COM+

  I have a legacy ASP app which has a COM backend. The COM component is making a call to a public function in a .NET class library. What I'd like to do if it is possible is to have a breakpoint set in the .NET code in Visual Studio at which execution will stop when the function is called from the COM component. In VB6, you could just run the debugger and it would wait for the component to be created, however you can't do this in .NET. Is this possible The COM component is running in a dedicated server process under Component Services. TIA ...Show All

• SQL Server Property DefaultSchema is not available for Database [DatabaseName] in SSMS

  I've been researching the notification message [Property DefaultSchema is not available for Database [DatabaseName]]. This message is generated when I try to create a new table object using SSMS. I am logging into the SQL Server using an NT Authenticated Login which is mapped to an Active Directory Resource Group. I have found the following information specific to Default Schema's in SQL Server 2005. First, by design, you cannot assign a Default Schema to an NT Authenticate Login that is mapped to a Windows Group. This is noted in the CREATE USER (Transact SQL) BOL topic - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173463.aspx "DEFAULT_SCHEMA cannot be specified when you are creating a user mapped to a Windows group, a cer ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting HelloWorld_CLR sample to work

  Hello, I have been trying to get the app installed and running; I've updated the install script to point to the right server and it worked. I've run the ALTER DATABASE ssb_HelloWorld SET ENABLE_BROKER ; and the EXEC sp_configure 'clr enabled' , 1; and the CLR seemed to have problems while getting replies back from the server. However after repeated retries it worked well. Sporadically I would see an error. After uninstalling the sample and installing it again - to document the steps previously taken - the CLR application is no longer receiving messages from the server. Any idea about what setting might be needed Thanks, See this previous post: http://forums.micro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista workflow project type

  hello, My workflow run from a win form application. which type of the workflow ( Sequential Workflow console App or sequential workflow library..) must be used. The advantage is knowing what your workflows are doing now and when did they finish, for example if you want to shut down the application you may want to make sure all workflow threads have completed or wait for the ones to complete yet. The way to get these notifications is by subscribing to the runtime events that the runtime engine emits the ones of interest to you would be Workflow_Completed & Workflow_Terminated. Take a look at the other events emitted by the runtime to determine which ones are of interest to you. ...Show All
