• Visual Studio Express Editions Install VB Express application to All Users under Windows XP

  Is there a way to cause an application developed under Visual Basic Express to install for all users on an XP system I am logging onto an XP system, which many people use, as Administrator. I install my application, but when other users logon under their own ID they don't have it available. I also moved the Start Menu folder from my Documents and Settings folder to "All Users," which causes the program group to appear under all user's Start menu; however, the program itself isn't there if they try to use it (program group is empty). The Installer does not appear to have an option to install the program only for you or install for everyone. Any way to force the application to install for all users Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Loading a query in a WorkItemResultGrid

  Hi all, I am trying to load a saved query in a WorkItemResultGrid. I want to mimic the workitem / query view in Visual Studio but extend it with conditional formatting (e.g. priority 1 bugs in red). I retrieve a WorkItemCollection from a WorkItemStore (WorkItemStore.Query) and set it as the datasource for the WorkItemResultGrid. The result grid displays all WorkItem-Fields (not only the ones selected). I can set the ResultOptions before setting the datasource-property, but they are ignored. Setting the ResultOptions after the datasource property results in a runtime exception. I've also tried using the method WorkItemResultGrid.LoadFromWiql as it was advised in Narens post in: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.asp ...Show All

• Visual C++ Constructors for global variables are not called???

  I have a VC++ project B that is linked into a static library "B.lib". This library is linked into project A which creates A.exe. The constructors for the global varaiables in B do not get called. 1. If I have golbal variables in A then there is no problem - the constructors for those get called. 2. I f the solution (Project A and B) get linked on my coleagues computer then there is no problem. 3.

• SQL Server Full text search query

  Hi, I'm a beginner with SQL server 2005 and I need a bit of a help with full text search. I'm using a simple search query like this: CONTAINSTABLE(TBL_NAME, (col1, col2), 'search_term_here'); Everything works cool with this. Now what I want is to use ranking based on those columns I'm searching. I want col1 to have greater rank than col2. For example, if search term is found in col1 it would have higher priority than in col2 and would appear in the top of results. I should mention that performance is extremely important here, so using complex queries in not an option. If there's a simple way of doing it, I would be glad to hear it. I hope you understand my problem, I'm not a native English speaker. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How I get the skin weights?

• SQL Server how to sort this mess out (owners and permissions)

  Hi, I've been asked to sort out a mess as follows: two dbs on one server... first db has a user called 'bob'.. that's the login on the server and also the login name on the db in question. this db has several SP's owned by 'bob' which need to copied to the second db.

Just to clarify what I mean.. I go into the 2nd db using EM. go to users: th ...Show All

While you could easily use a variety of other single-purpose tools to get everything that's in Team System, you wouldn't have the level of integration. In my experience, the productivity gained from having good integration is worth it. That said, your results will vary.
