• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible odd TreeView bug (sample included)

  Using some custom style with a StyleSelector for my TreeView, I found a really strange bug, more related to ItemContainerGenerator, I think. I had to implement some drag and drop, and it appears that switching (my removing and re-inserting them) two sub-items in a sub-collection of a previously switched item in the parent collection used as ItemsSource for my TreeView lead to some unexpected error : The container passed to StyleSelector.SelectStyle while reinserting the sub-items seems "invalid" ! It isn't related to the TreeView anymore : it isn't able to find ressources and if you try getting its parent ItemsControl, it is now null ! View the sample application I made to test this bug, since explaining here doesn't m ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista System.IndexOutOfRangeException in Host implementation

  I'm having a strange intermittent error that's causing me no small amount of grief. I've implemented a generic WWF host implementation for our company and it seems to be working okay except for one small issue. Every once in awhile I receive the following error in my Application event log " System.IndexOutOfRangeException" with no accompaying dotNet exception being thrown. My test case for this host is simply a file watcher (non workflow) that logs file activity into a database. The workflow host implementation uses a work provider model which periodically goes out to the database and retrieves a list of pending files that need processing. It then (based on the file's path) looks up a workflow and queue's these workflo ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS and Indexing service

  hi all, I would like to use WDS 3.0 through programmatically for searching word document contents. So, I am querying sytemindex with System.Search.Contents as the Where clause. My questions are: Does WDS using the "Indexing Service" (which is already available in the system) What is the difference if I manually configure my target folder with available "Indexing service" and query directly without using WDS SDK For me its easy to query the WDS component (thru OleDb)  than querying the indexed file directly. So, can I use this technique in production also Once the Indexing is done for a folder if I add or remove a file inside the folder will it re-index from the first or it will just update the index (I guess it shouldn't ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying subreports - does not work

  Hello colleagues, I have the following issue: I am trying to create a report with subreport this way: 1) create report 2) create subreport. Set parameter @AccountName in the SQL query (...WHERE account.name = @AccountName) and in the parameters collection - AccountName, data type string 3) place the subreport into the report and set parameters AcountID = =Fields!name.Value, so that the WHERE clause in the subreport should filter the content according to the field Fields!name.Value. So far, I suppose this should work. Nevertheless, I get this result in Visual Studio .net: An error occurred while executing the subreport ‘subreppp’: An error has occurred during report processing.

• Visual Studio Team System Feature Enhancement Request - Column Filtering For Data Changes

  I'd like to make a feature request that I think would be helpful. After doing a data comparison, you're given the option to deselect certain rows you don't want to update. It would be helpful if there were also checkboxes on the column headings themselves, where you could deselect them. There are scenarios where you want to move all data except a certain column (ex. LastUpdatedTime or something of that nature). It would be great if you could consider this option for implementation. Thanks, -M- That's helpful for deciding what you want to compare, but I was hoping for something that lets you decide what to implement. Perhaps I want to compare them, but after doing so I can see the data difference ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System unused objects

  Is there any way to list the objects that are no longer referenced anywhere in the database Many times it is useful to check where an object is referenced and it is used at all. Something like caller/callee graph. Thanks, Martin Kulov http://www.codeattest.com/blogs/martin Yeap, This is actually a request during one of my presentations on VSTE for DB. In every single project development database objects change and at some time there are many unused objects that has to be removed. Especially when the database is implemented by many people. I am not sure if this is appropriate for build output as warnings and errors since an object can only be used from code, and it will not be referenced from any ot ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No appropriate mapping exists for $/Project/Branch/File.cs

  I'm trying to unshelve some code I was working on weeks ago and keeping the error msg in subject line which I'll repeat: No appropriate mapping exists for $/Project/Branch/File.cs I do have a workspace mapping setup for the source control path in question so I'm not sure what gives. My workspace mappings have changed since I shelved the shelveset...is this the source of my problem Is there any way to dump the shelveset to disk in some manner so I can access the code changes. I really don't want to lose them... Help appreciated. If you're having trouble with workspace mappings, you can always map the root $/. Then you can be certain everything in the repository is mapped.

• Windows Search Technologies WDS never finishes indexing

  If I watch the status, it will get down to 1 file left and then build back up to 40,000+ files left to index (I do not change very many files on this system and certainly not 40000 in a day). If I search using WDS, it says it is building the initial index. I have even left Index Now checkmarked for the last week. Any idea on how to fix Hi MrJavaGuy, We've seen this problem before when WDS tries to index program files for some applications. You may be able to fix the issue by doing one of the following: Set your indexing options to index E-mail and My Documents or Use custom indexing options and set WDS to index your email and only those folders where you keep documents you want to index (i.e. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sample code needed to understand the UIA

  Hi, I am planning to use the UIA in our environment. Can anybody post a sample code to automate a simple GUI application (notepad) Basically i am looking for how to invoke the notepad application and enumerate the menu items in it using the UIA TIA, ~JK Executing an application programmatically is not part of UIA. Once you have Notepad running, you can certainly use UI Automation to enumerate menu items.

• SQL Server Cannot see the cube using Crystal Analysis 9

  Hi, I'm currently using SQL 2000 Analysis Manager to create a cube, and Crystal Analysis 9 to try to view the cube.
