• Visual Studio Team System How do you suppress work item creation on build failure?

  My client doesn't want to have new work items created when a build fails. I have looked all over the web and can't find a place in the project build file to tell it to suppress creation of work items. You can do this by setting the <SkipWorkitemCreation> property in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file to 'True'. By default this flag is set to 'False'. See http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/archive/2005/10/27/485980.aspx for list of overridable properties ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CCommandBar: yet another problem

  Hello, I developed MFC dialog-based application with eVC 4.0. Now I'm trying to make it work on MSVS 2005 beta 2. I replaced CCeCommandBar with CCommandBar, but its functionality not the same. Really, I can't understand why should Microsoft replace working class with another one, which has more bugs :) The problem is that after inserting menu bar (InsertMenuBar) previously loaded toolbar gets invisible. If I change the order of these functions' calls (first, InsertMenuBar, then - Loadtoolbar) everything works well. But I need my toolbar to be on the left... so help me please :-) Please check my blog link at the following location. I havedescribed  about 4 possible options here http:// ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions count of files in a directory

  OK - I have the path of a directory save to a string variable. I want to go to the directory and count the number of files located in that directory. I do not know how to get started. Please help. thank you Give me some idea of your level with C#. These are very basic questions. If this is not course work for a class you are taking, you need to get some kind of training. At the very least, get one of the beginning books that is available and read the beginning chapters and work their exercises. To answer your direct question, each array has a Length property that tells you how many elements it has. So returnFiles.Length is the count. ...Show All

• SQL Server Help Needed in writing a function to help daily nightmare with Debugging.

  I debug SPS on a daily basis and I use SQL profiler to help me trace where the problem is. Once I have established which SP is the main problem I need to debug the line of code. What I do is Cut and Paste the SQL Profiler details and populate all the parameters,sometimes that can be 30 and more.. Now what i thought is to write an SP or Function where I pass : SP name and Parameters that profiler genererates and returns me Declare Statements and Set Statements with parameters filled. EG Profiler Returns Customer_INSERT,20,'JO',BLOGG','5 LONDON ROAD' I would call my new SP =PopulateSPParams and cut and paste the profiler's string PopulateSPParams 'Customer_Insert,20,'JO',BLOGG','5 LONDON ROAD' this will RETURN THE FOLLOW ...Show All

• SQL Server Non significant '0' removed from alphanumeric code

  Hi all, I have a problem with alphanumeric codes in SSIS. I have a sql table with a varchar column which contains codes like '080101000', in my SSIS dataflow I have a lookup against this table and the column whith the code is used as output column for my lookup transformation. In the advance editor the output column datatype is DT_WSTR, but when the code contains only numbers like the code '080101000' the first '0' is removed! It's like the code is at some point transformed to numeric and then inserted in the output column as a string. This in nonsense!! Does anyone have an idea how to avoid this Hi, No it's not resolved.

• SQL Server Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

  I have a report that has 2 dropdowns, selecting from the first dropdown populates the second one. This works fine in the BI Studio. When I deploy this report to the 'Report Manager' and make a selection from the first dropdown, the second dropdown loads (as expected). I tried to select from the second dropdown (which has only 1 item - which is correct), the dropdown does not appear correctly - as in, I can't see that item. Since we can't attach anything here, below is the link to a screenshot of my issue: http://docs.google.com/View docid=ddd6j2xn_52c5qd5 If you look closely at the screenshot from the link above, you'll see that there is a value in the second dropdown - it just won't show completely - as if the dropdown is not re ...Show All

• Visual Studio File versions related to a label

  I am trying to get the numeric version number (number of times the file has been modified) of the files associated with a particular label. A requirement of our project is to know the numeric version number of all source files in a particular "Version". We used to use CMS on a VAX Station and the output looked like this Files in version "1.3": file1.c (3) , file2.c (12), file3.c (1) This information is what we still need. The numbers in the parethesis are the numeric count for the number of times the file has been modified.
