• Visual Studio Team System Team Foudation Server Scheduled Backup + Disaster Recovery Scenarios

  Hi, We have Team Foundation Server installed in our premises. We arranged with all the people working on TFS to make sure that their connection to TFS is closed before they leave work, so that to enable our SQL Server Full Backup Schedule to work correctly at around 03:00 AM. Our questions are: 1. Do we have to back up the Reporting Services Encryption Key every night as well Or we do that only once in a life time 2. Is there anything else to backing up TFS - in order to gurantee successfull recovery in the case of a hardware crash - other than backing up TFS databases and RPT Service Enc. Key 3. Can we still reuse the files that exist in users' worksapces in the case of a TFS crash I mean after we recover/restore TFS , ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Obfuscate, Scramble Text

  Does anyone know how to add an obfuscator to a program as its being used Basically after text is changed and outputed in one textbox, I want to be able to display the text in the other textbox obfuscated. I was trying to figure a way to add a base64_decode to the file so that when I output the text it only shows it obfuscated, but still useable. I guess what I am trying to do is change a php,asp, html file, obfuscate it and upload it to use in my website. That way no one can steal my code. Anybody have any ideas Thanks for your reply! no worries. I found this however but probably something you may not want: http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/StringObfuscation.asp ...Show All

BTW, on MSDN, the syntax of settingsUI is: Syntax [ strGetSettingsUI = ] System.Gadget.Settings . settingsUI ( strInitSettingsUI ) But it seems not work, System.Gadget.settingsUI works. Is that related to early version or future version Thank u for your reply. About SettingsUI, my question is not whether it is a property or function, but System.Gadget.Settings . settingsUI (msdn) or System.Gadget. SettingsUI (in practice) ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI properties and events in a derived class

  I have two questions regarding a C++/CLI ( managed ) property or event in a derived class which is inherited from a base class: 1) How can I change an attribute for a property or event in a derived class inherited from a base class without re-implementing the property or event 2) Is it possible to have a protected property or event in a base class which is made public in a derived class without re-implementing the property or event If so, how would I do this Does the C++ 'using' statement work for managed classes " To confirm, the CLR (Common Language Runtime in .NET) does not allow private inheritance as C++ does, which would have allowed you to hide a base class from a derived class' client.

• Visual Studio TextEditor: How to Regain Edit Position upon window reactivate

  Is there a way to ensure that when the window regains focus the previous cursor position is regained instead of the cursor position changing to where clicked I only want the position to change if the window already has focus (is active). Example: Cursor is at EOL on line 6. I click into some tool window and no longer see a cursor position in the text edit window. Bad already. But even worse is: When I click back into the text editor window - line 15 then my cursor is there at line 15. It should go back to line 6 where I left off. THEN if I click again on line 15 it should go there. -Marc- As Ahmad said, that is a windows feature and it would be quite strange a different behav ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error when installing KB919156: Error 28500 - Error finding template file...

  When I attempt to install the TFS Quiesence Tool KB hotfix, I receive the following error: "Error 28500.Error finding template file." (sic) I attempted to search through the groups and on the internet to find out the root cause of this error, but I have not found anything. I, therefore, cannot install TFS sp1 because the installation of this prerequisite has not been met. I have a dual-server installation, and everything is working swimmingly currently, but I want to stay up-to-date on the updates. I should mention that I've uploaded the Conchango Scrum template to the system -- could that be the cause of my error Any suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you! ...Show All
