• Visual Studio Team System Environment variables passed through nunit tests from msbuild

  I have a team build on VS2005 which is set up to run NUnit unit tests as part of the build. The code that is being unit tested integrates with some legacy COM code which in turn calls external processes to do the required task. When I run a build from the command prompt using msbuild on TFSBuild.proj on either a development PC or the build sever using @TFSBUILD.rsp, my build works properly. The system environment variables are passed down thouugh the various processes and work as expected. However when the same TFSBuild.proj is called from the tfsbuildservice.exe service, the environment variables are not set properly. They are available in the MSBuild file but not in the processes that are created. What environment does the ...Show All

• Visual Basic BindingSource AddNew Contraint BUG?

  This is my problem. I have a table in Access "ASV Letter" in which the field "Number" is the primary key. I connect to that DataBase with a DataSet. I have a button to add a letter. It opens a DialogForm where the user types the values of the new field. If he tries a value that was already used, it trips an error as expected. But.... If he gives a new letter and immediately after try again with the same number, no exception at all are raised! If he clicks the button again, the addNew method fires an exception (dbNull not allowed in the field). I really cannot uderstand why. Any one could help I have paste the code here in below. The Bindings Count is because I do not dispose of the form. One ...Show All

• Windows Forms Some files only needed on CD, NOT installed in target dir

  I have several files in my setup project that I want to have available on the CD in the rare case that the user needs them, but I do not want them installed in the target directory. (It's a Marketing thing - they don't want users poking around in these files unless we tell them where to find them.) I do not see a way in Studio 2005 setup projects to include files on the CD but not actually install them. Any suggestions It's an issue of automating the build process so that it will be idiot-proof for the next programmer who follows (whenever that may be). If they have to manually create a directory or two in the build output directory and then drag and drop files from several locations, you can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tearing my hair out over a LNK2019

  Ok, let me explain my sob story: I am working with the Intel Performance Primative trying to do an FFT as fast as possible. My original compiler was Metrowerks Codewarrior. After reading the IPP manual, I succesfully implemented the IPP code into a DLL using Codewarrior. It is pretty darn fast. After talking with a CS friend of mine, he recommended using the Intel Compiler for even faster code, which is a plug-in for the Microsoft compiler. So I installed my old copy of Visual Studio .NET 2003 C++ compiler with the Intel Compiler on top. Alright, now to the fun part. I use the EXACT same code that I used in Codewarrior, and the VC++ compiler refuses to link succesfully. My code is basically (by basically, I have left out a ...Show All

• SQL Server OLEDB Destination Error in SSIS Package not returning error column/desc

  I have a SSIS package that reads data from a dump table, runs a custom script that takes date data and converts it to the correct format or nulls and formats amt fields to currency, then inserts it to a new table. The new table redirects insert errors. This process worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. I am processing just under 6 million rows, with 460,000 or so insert errors that did give error column and code. Now, I am getting 1.5 million errors. and nothing has changed, to my knowledge. I receive the following information. Error Code -1071607685 Error Column 0 Error Desc No status is available. The only thing I can find for the above error code is DTS_E_OLEDBDESTINATIONADAPTERSTATIC_UNAVAILABLE To add to the confus ...Show All

• .NET Development Dataset.GetXml incorrectly renders XMLNS, breaks XSLT

  I have a very simple dataset, just 4 fields in one table. I am using the GetXml method of the dataset to render the XML into an XmlStream, and then XmlCompiledTransform to implement an XSLT, then save it to an HTML file. The Dataset.GetXml method oncorrectly renders the xmlns for my dataset, though. Since it is a strongly typed dataset, the XSD is added to the root node, as such: < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > < xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='ProblemStoreReport.xsl' > <ProblemStores xmlns=" http://tempuri.org/ProblemStores.xsd "> <ProblemStore> <SiteNumber>00260</SiteNumber> <SiteName>00260 - 632 3RD AVE.</SiteName> <Variance> ...Show All

• SQL Server Indexing Question

  I am somewhat new to SQL and have an indexing question I have a table that consists of 60 columns of mostly numeric data. Included in the table are fields called Customerid, CustDate and CustTime. Every hour data is posted to the table with the current time and date as well as customerID. The table is about 6 million rows. I have a query that reads: SELECT CustomerID, custdate + custtime as date FROM Mytable WHERE CustID = 905 and (date between ‘1/1/7’ and ‘1/17/7). The query works but it takes longer than I would like so I am wondering if it’s an indexing issue. Currently my table is indexed as CustomerID + CustDate + CustTime. None of the fields are unique, but the combination of the 3 i ...Show All

• Visual C# Correct me if I'm wrong...

  [Reposted from .NET forum] I have an issue and I wonder if anyone has run into this. As I know, you cannot call virtual methods from within constructors safely, because the inherited class is not constructed at the time of base constructor invocation. However, I am creating a base class whose internal workings are sufficiently complex that I had to create a series of virtual functions that the inheritors can modify. These are called when a particular property is set in order to set up the connective tissue underneath. This is not a problem. The problem exists because I cannot use these same virtual calls on either deserialization constructors or in the default constructor to perform these same operations when the class is first in ...Show All
