• Visual Studio Team System Users added to Contribute group are unable to view/create workitems

  Hi I have the following problem, I have created a project with an administrator account that is added as admin in reporting services, tfs and sharepoint. All works perfect. I now add a user to my projets Contribute group, I then add this user on the project portal as contributor and I add him to Reporting services as browser. I then log on as that user, I see the project, I can view reports, add documets etc but I can't view the Work Items, it doesn't give any errors, the page is just empty. When I try to create the work item it just says that i don't have permission. I have tried clearing the cache and connecting from another computer. Also when I want to assign a task to a user I can only view a few users that are admins and service acc ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Column Headers from Database table

  Please is it possible to get the reports column names from database table via stored proc or a select query. Because reports needs to be localized between spanish and english users, so if a spanish user is logged into the system, it must bring all spanish column names from DB table and show in the headers, same with english users. Thank you very much for the information. I am using SQL 2K Reporting services. Are the column names from a different dataset than the rest of the data in the report If so, you have the following options: 1. Modify the query to return them in the same dataset (since you can't use two datasets in the same table). 2. Modify the report to include two tables, o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Uninstalling Evaluation version of Team Explorer

  Hi, I installed the evaluation edition of Team Explorer on my machine, and when I'd finished, I uninstalled it (through Add/Remove programs) The problem I have now is that although it does not appear inside VS on hte menus, it does appear as an installed element on the splash screen, and I get a blank form displayed when I start VS which appears to be the dialog that used to prompt me for a user name and password. (I had to specify these to connect the the TFS server because if network problems). Any ideas on what might have been left behind that could be causing the problem Cheers, Bill Thanks for the error report. So we can help investigate this further, can you tell us a bit more ...Show All

• Visual C# GetKeyState() API ?? Logging pressed keys

  Hi i am working on a c# project. I want to handle the key press of some keys like enter and some others while the form also is not active, so i cannot use the keypress event handler, what i am using is the GetKeyState API with a timer. what i read in the msdn us that this function return: if the high order bit is set to 1 then the key state is down else the key state is up.

• SQL Server HOST_NAME() filter issue

  I am using dynamic filtering on host_name() for SQL 2005 SP1 merge publication. It had been working fine, but something has caused the configuration to stop working. Setting up the publication and a test subscription via the GUI works fine. However, if I script out the publication and subscription and attempt to run the script (with suitable password), then I get the error “a value for the parameter @host_name was specified while publication does not use host_name() for dynamic filtering” I did some digging and was curious to find some differences in the information returned by sp_helpmergepublication and the content of dbo.sysmergepublications. The sp_helpmergepublication output showed expected conte ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error Message that I can't resolve...

  I am fairly new to writing in VB and in reality it is actually my first true language that I am trying to learn. I am currently writing a small application for where I work that will be used internally by only a couple of people. The purpose of this project is to record and maintain records for troubleshooting calls. This is in essence a CYA (cover your *ss) ploy that also helps us maintain with compliance rules. So essentially what I did was create a small program that would refernce back to a database out on one of our servers. This was supposed to be something that I assumed would be very easy, and at first it did seem to be working properly. Now I have run into a problem that I do not have a solution for. The following is the error I g ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh file with texture?

  I have a .x file, which loads fine in the DirectX viewer. The viewer shows the model with texture. So am I right in saying that the .x file has texture within it If so, how do I get at it So far I've only been able to load the mesh and render some random texture on it from a JPG. this .mesh = Mesh .FromFile( @"..\..\Content\Models\" + meshPath, MeshFlags .Managed, device); Usually what happens is that when the .x file is created, the full path name is placed inside the .x file. You can open the .x file in notepad and search for .jpg, .bmp, .png or any other format and find the path of the texture. I've had that problem many a times before, you can then manually edit the .x file's associa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2005 not installed, getting Office 2007 - OK?

  I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, Office 2000, and Outlook, FrontPage & InfoPath 2003. When I purchased VSTO 2005 I chose the upgrade edition since I already have a version of VS. Unfortunately, VSTO will not install because "Microsoft Office 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) is not installed on this computer." I'll be upgrading to Office 2007 (Small Business). My question is what steps will I need to take in order to be able to install VSTO 2005 before I can install the SE upgrade. I don't know if the VSTO 2005 installer will be "smart enough" to realize that Office 2007 is an upgrade from 2003. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch. Success! For those who might be interested, this is ...Show All
