• Visual Studio Team System Cannot connect to Hostname:8080 but can connect to Localhost:8080

  Hi, I just installed TFS and Team Explorer on a single instance and VS2005 and TE on a workstation. Both the workstation and server instances of TE give me a connection error, "The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden" I am able to connect to localhost but can't seem to connect at all by web or TE to the actual hostname URL even with the TFS Admin account I have. I looked at the file permissions and the permissions in IIS Manager and they seem to be correct. Any suggestions Kyent Have the workstation try to access one of the TFS web services directly, like: http:// server :8080/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx When hitting that URL with IE, you'll likely get the same error, ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dynamic execution method (release/debug mode)

  I understand that a VB app may be compiled 2 ways (ie.,Release,Debug). Generally, we would like to use release version in production but there are times when I need to use the debug mode. I do not want to maintain two versions of exe. My application reads off data from a SQL Table so I'm thinking of leveraging that for an IF... Else statement. However, I need to know if it is possible to include the execution mode into the VB script rather than rely on the compile method. Is that possible Thanks. Hi Jade, Generally, a release version of an assembly has certain optimizations in it that make it not debuggable. Information is often optimized away that is necessary for stepping through (debugging) the a ...Show All

  For some reason my sprite will jitter while moving if I rotate to 270 degrees (it flips at exactly 270 degrees).

• SQL Server ProcessAdd processing hangs

  I'm trying to do an incremental process of a cube that has 3 measure groups. The first measure group is fairly straightforward, run-of-the-mill measures. The other 2 are distinct counts of an ID. When running the incremental process (ProcessAdd), the status seems to complete, and then everything just hangs. I can't find anything that the server is doing, but it won't return. This happens in BIDS using debug, management studio wizard, and management studio XMLA execution windows. Sometimes I can get the first measure group to return... Once the 3rd returned. The 2nd has never worked. Thoughts on what's happeneing Does anyone know how to see what's going on in the background I have a SQL trace going and a trace on the SSAS server, and not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deploying Crystal Report with application written in VStudio 6.0

  I have written an application in Visual Studio 6.0 It uses Crystal Report XI controls to display reports. There is all fine if I run application on computer which has installed Crystal Reports XI. Problem begins when i install this application on computer which has no Crystal Reports installed. How can I install necessary modules (I have only Visual Studio 6.0, and I can not (can I ) use merge modules for .NET instalation). From what I have noticed, it is required to have installed proper DLLs, image files, *js files,... which are placed in ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/... directory. (Crystal Report requires that files to display input parameters dialog - it uses Internet Explorer window embedded in application window). Thanks for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Trouble With Web Deployment Project and Team Build

  I'm trying to deploy a simple web site using Team Build and the Web Deployment Project. The web site builds fine on its own. On the property pages for the Web Deployment Project, under the Deployment section checked the box for "Create an IIS virtual directory for the output folder" and entered a name for the virtual directory. Every build from then on failed with the error stating "Error Virtual Director 'x' already set to path c:\documents and settings\..._deploy\Debug".

Next I decided to to check the box to have it replace the existing virtual directory and I got an error stating "Access Is Denied". Does anyone have any ideas of what ...Show All

• Visual Studio Threads names

  Hello, i am developping a multi threaded app using Thread class. When ever i do Thread th = new Thread(); i do th.name = "blabla"; My qestion is why don't we see the thread name in the output window when the thread is exited instead of the ID. The thread 0x12e0 has exited with code 0 (0x0). Thats something we can see. Though, if i add a breakpoint on the line: th.name = "blabla"; and then do F10 once and then F5. When ever the thread is exited, i will see: The thread 'MyThreadName' (0xdb4) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Why is this Would there be a way to always see the threads names when they are exited, even if i am not currently debugging or breaking into the code. Thanks in advance! ...Show All
