• Visual Studio Team System TFS Installation: Error 28905

  Hello, I'm trying to install evaluation version of Team Foundation Server. I got the latest version, and the current installation instructions, from microsoft.com on July 19. Went throught the prerequisite sections of the Single Server instructions - patched, updated, and/or installed Windows Server 2003, .NET Framework, SQL Server 2005, IIS, Share Point. During installation of TFS itself, got "Error message 28905 WiDBLoc could not list of fields to localize from the database." Installation stopped at that point. Does anybody know what could cause this, and what I can do to get past it Any assistance greatly appreciated. Mike Thurber I agree - I think we can make it more obvious in th ...Show All

• Windows Forms ContainerControl inside another ContainerControl

  <.NETFramework> I am facing problems using a ContainerControl inside another ContainerControl. The child ContainerControl is not getting on the design surface probably. I'm not being able to drop any control (e.g a Button) on the inner ContainerControl. It is dropping the control (Button) on the outer ContainerControl instead. I know there is something like EnableDesignMode in Framewrok 2.0. But I cannot find it in Framewrok 1.1. I would also like to share that I'm working on a TableControl that will be just like an HTML Table Control. I also know that Microsoft has provided a TableLayoutPanel with Framework 2.0. But due to some requirements I cannot go for it. Currently I'm trying to design something like this: <Table ty ...Show All

• SQL Server UPDATE where table_name is a parameter

  Hi everybody, I'm creating a trigger on update of a table. It simply updates the last change of a specific field to all other tables linked to this field, which is a sort of master-key of the whole database. This trigger works on two different databases: in the first one the tables are "fixed" and I use this statement: update [Dda_additional] set site_id = (Select site_id from Inserted) where site_id = (Select site_id from Deleted); In the second one the number of the tables is a variable, because the adminsitrator can create and delete them with a web-application. That's why I'm using a cursor to extract the name of the tables in this database and then I pass these values to the update query. Here's my code: DECLA ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Trigger

  Importing a database schema using CTP6 appears to save triggers with the name [schema].[TriggerName].trigger.sql. Shouldn't it be [schema].[TableName].[TriggerName].trigger.sql I think the file naming convention should be consistent throught out the application. It appears, at this point there is inconsistency. Indexes, keys, etcs follow one naming convention, however triggers follow since CTP 6 another one (in contrast to CTP5). I am specially concerned about file naming conventions, because these files will be/are under source control. ...Show All

• SQL Server Widget Factory Query

  Consider the following. Widgets are made of possibly several parts. A table T exists with columns widgetID and widgetPartName. If widget with ID 7 has parts rotor and rooter, T contains tuples: (7, rotor) and (7,rooter) Boss needs table R with two fields: widgetID and widgetPartList. The widgetParts field should be a string concatenation of all widgetPartNames separated by "/": Example: R contains tuple (7, "rotor/rooter"). Big tables, widgets can have many parts. Any ideas I missed that class. I think that is what he wants. Look at what he says: A table T exists with columns widgetID and widgetPartName. If widget with ID 7 has parts rotor and rooter, T contain ...Show All

• Visual C# Best way of returning an image based on a string

  Part real-world issue, part idle curiosity, this. I'm adding a static class to my project which will provide little images from the resources based on a string value -- specifically, a Type name from the various business objects -- to be displayed on tabs, list-views, that sort of thing. Anyway, it's currently implemented via a big ol' switch statement, thus: switch (typeName) {     case "CompanyDataSet.Contact":     case "PersonDataSet.Contact":     case "CompanyDataSet.ContactDataTable":     case "PersonDataSet.ContactDataTable":         if (imageState == ImageState.Disabled)         {  &nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with XmlSerialization of Nullable Types

  I am trying to create default values of a public property of a class in a web service by marking the property with the [DefaultValue()] Attribute. It works fine for simple types, but when I apply it to a Nullable type, like int , it is ignored and is initialized to null on the client. Here are two example classes and the schemas created with xsd.exe: public class NotNullableType { private int _NotNullableInteger; [System.ComponentModel.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Showing "1 000" instead of "1000" in textbox.

  OIkai, this might be very simple, but I have a textbox with "1000000" in it. And I want it to be shown as "1 000 000".

• SQL Server #Error in total fields

  I am getting a #error in my subtotal and total fields, I have data in a field (on a table) as follows which displays 0.00 if there is a zero in the divide by field, otherwise it performs the divide and gives me a percentage difference from the two fields.
