• .NET Development String.Compare with Unicode characters

  I am trying to sort a list of Greek Unicode strings, but I can't get the .NET framework to correctly sort or compare the accented vowels. For example String.Compare(" "," ") // or String.Compare("\u1f00","\u1f30"); always returns 0 and String.Compare(" ","α") always returns -1 regardless of the Culture information (current, invariant, Greek) I use in the other arguments of the Compare function. Is there a way to make the first comparison return a negative number I forgot to say that an Ordinal comparison does not help me - it works in this case, but not with the rest of the Unicode Greek alphabet. For example the Unicode characters \u1f00 and \u1f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New Files added to Project OUtside of VS

  I use CodeSmith and Nettiers to generated the Data Layer for our project. It generates a bunch of classes and the project file for me. So here are the steps I follow when generating code. 1. Check out the the projects and everything in them. 2. Close VS and generate the code. This does create new project files in the same location. 3. Open VS. It says the binding information does not agree, I choose the Solution Binding option on the nag screen. 4. Check everything in. The problem is, if there are new files in the project, Team System does not see these as new files in the project. I can't right click them and add them. It just doesn't do anything with them at all. The only thing I can do is manuall go and choose the file fr ...Show All

• SQL Server Select All = no Result

  hey there I have parameters in my report set up CallStatus = string Available Values are non-queried and values are listed in the value list closed, open, pending, select all If I choose each one separately I get a result - if I choose select all I get no result. This worked fine attaching to another datasource - I have now attached it to a new source. Tried altering the relationship to properties to a left outer join but this made no difference. Can someone tell me what else I should check thanks Perhaps if you use a wildcard and modify the 'select all' value to a space like this: IF (@CallStatus = 'select all') SELECT @CallStatus = '' SELECT Company.CompanyName, Ticket ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL server 2005 Installing Problem

  This doesn't make any sense. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on SBS 2003 with Service Pack 1. According to Windows Update, there is nothing left for me to install.

• Visual Studio Team System VSTSTFSRTM expires this month, whats next?

  The virtual pc image VSTSTFSRTM will expire by the end of september. Will Microsoft release a new vpc for another 180 day We have used the trial VPC for TFS experimental purposes and we would like to continue with that even after we have deployed a real TFS server (for continous process and method development based on TFS). I guess that we are not alone in wanting to have a full TFS environment up and running on a laptop in a few minutes. An environment that we can do different kinds of testing and dispose, start again etc. ...Show All

  Please let me know if this is correct. I would like to have a Web server installed with visual studio 2005. Develop web services in it. Then from the workstation where I develop apps, reference the webservices on the web server, as opposed to what I do now (Developing webservices in the same solution with the other projects). If the above is possible, then how do I referene the webservices on a webserver on the same network Is it by add webreference and enter the http address of the services in the web server Thanks Using .net 2.0 It seems the setting is set to dynamic by default.
