• Visual Studio Team System Adding to potential test results for Manual Test

  Hi there, Is it possible to add to the values for possible test results for Manual Tests Currently, there only seems to be 'Pass' or 'Fail', but I would be interested in adding another state for situations where test cases have not actually failed but have been blocked from execution by a previous failure or have exposed an issue which was not being explicitly tested. Can I do this Cheers. Clare Clare, do you ask about 2 check boxes Pass/Fail on the top of Manual Test Result window You can choose only Pass or Fail and there is no way to add other states. FYI: running Manual Test can produce state (outcome) other than Pass or Fail, for instance you can get Error when test execution got a problem. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to MANUALLY create a TableAdapter

  Hi, I use a VB.NET application that connects to a Web Service I made. The Web Service is responsible to collect data from an Online database and send it to the Windows application. It's also responsible to GET new data from the application and Update the Online database. The Web Service works fine. My question is in the application. I created a Dataset that GETS a dataset from the Web Service. Now I want to USE that data in the application. I am having trouble with both DataRow and TableAdapter. (I don't want to add any DataSource in my application, so I can't use any wizards. 1. I can't create a NEW DataRow. I get the following error: Dim dr As New DataRow (It tells me that it is not accessible in this context because i ...Show All

• SQL Server Access Denied - Remote connection to SSIS

  We have 2 SQL2005 servers currently. 1 is a dev box, the other production. To grant remote access to SSIS, I added my developers to the local Distributed COM Users group and also gave them remote Access and remote Activation on the MsDtsServer component. This worked just fine. Recently we applied SP1 and the follow-on hotfixes to all SQL components. I followed the install order prescribed in the Q article and applied all component fixes. My developers are now unable to access SSIS remotely unless I add them to the local administrator's group. I don't see anywhere that a log gets generated to help me track down what's going on. Nothing shows up in my Windows security log, despite enabling audit logging on: Accout Logon Events, Logon ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Still confused - installing machine wide data for read/write all users

  Okay guys, Where in the world am I suppose to put our shared machine wide database on VISTA so that all users can read/write to it It is just a simple Access 2000 file. It shouldn't be this hard to put a file on a computer so all users can write to it. Thats all we want to do. I posted this about 3 or 4 days ago in another forum and a user said that we should be putting the database in CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA if we want to share it with all users. So I followed these instructions and implemented the SHGetFolderPath API and I utilized this location (which maps to c:\programdata on VISTA) to store our database in c:\programdata\[ourApplicationName] Even though my data is written to this location each user that accesses the file r ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating a Maintenance Plan via the Command Line

  Hello All, I've searched high and low for documentation on this to no avail. Basically my goal is to create a maintenance plan in SQLSERVER2005 via the command line. I need to create this plan in a way that it can be seen in the list of Maintenance Plans in the Management Studio Interface. I went into the SSIS designer and created my plan. I now have a DTSX file. I tried the dtutil.exe utility, however i never saw my maintenance plan in the list of plans.

How do i get my file to turn into a real running Maintenance Plan that is seen in the list of Maintenance Plans via the ...Show All
