• Visual Studio Team System Licensing Question

  Can anyone tell me if I am correct about the following 1) For those owning Visual Studio Team Suite, there will be no cost for Datadude. 2) For those owning any other version of Visual Studio (Professional version and higher), there will be a cost for Datadude. If #2 is correct, can anyone tell me what the cost will be Our development team is using Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers. My understanding is that we will need to pay for Datadude. I am try to plan for the expenditure. Thanks - Amos. Amos Soma wrote: At $3K per seat, on top of what we paid for VSTE for Developers, my request would almost certainly get turned down.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) When to use windows browser app?

  Hello, I'm wondering when is it beneficial to use a winfx browser app, as oppose to the regular winfx windows app I have a list of questions/concerns...sorry about the lenght of this posting :-) I'm playing with xaml at home, and I think it is the best way of developing ui. It really seperates the roles of the designer and the programmer. But, in my work place, even for intranet applications, business people are really attached to thin clients (ASP.NET). I think most businesses are like that. I was thinking if the middle tier is developed using web services (wcf) then I could develope a rich client that runs in the browser (winfx browser app). a) So should I develope a rich client as a browser app b) Is that what brow ...Show All

• Visual Basic String without terminator "

  Hi there, I was using an array of chars to take chars from a serial port buffer. But, when I do a cast to a string, for some strange reason, my string becomes something like string="haskjdh Without the last " !! I think this is really strange, did it happen to any of you P.S.

• SQL Server SSIS <DTS:PackageVariable>

  Just noticed I mis-posted this on public DTS forum so posting here. I'm building packages programmatically. I notice that if I open them in BIDS after building them, then make a change, my package grows in size trememdously. An example today went from 60k to 90k. The reason is that when the package is resaved in BIDS a large section of XML is added with <DTS:PackageVariable> info. I read on http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/knight_reign/archive/2005/1/13.aspx why this info exists. My question is, since I'm not creating it programmatically, do I need to It seems that it doesn't have to be there for the package to run correctly. Am I safe creating packages that do not have this section of info Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove SP1 or install SP2 Dec. CTP

  This sounds trivial but it has become an issue here. We had the original RTM of SQL2005 with Reporting Services installed and running fine. We were explicity NOT installing SP1 because of a feature that was removed from reporting services (the select-all checkbox in the multi-value parameter). This feature is supposed to be back in SP2. So wouldn't you know it, somehow someone inadvertently installed SP1 in the course of doing windows updates and now users are complaining about the missing select-all checkbox. I figure my options are to either install the SP2 Dec CTP or try uninstalling SP1 (if that's even possible). Any recommendations Problem solved - I installed the hotfixes and now the select-all che ...Show All
