Visual Studio Team System "Invalid Symbol Data" when running CodeCoverage on build server
Hi, I;ve enabled code coverage within a testrunconfig that my build server is using, however, I am seeing the following error when the build and test completes: The Code Coverage Analysis Service could not analyze the code coverage data for build Ammado.Services.Nightly_20060724.2 (Any CPU/Release). This is frequently caused by publishing different versions of the same binary to a particular build. Processing of code coverage data from run tfsservice@BUILD001 2006-07-24 10:38:08_Any CPU_Release caused the following exception to be thrown: Error when querying coverage data: Invalid symbol data My tests are running, and I would love to see the codecoverage results. I have no idea how to proceed, so would appreciate any feedback... Pete ...Show All

SQL Server SQL2005 SSIS - won't allow text delimiters
W2k3 server, SQL 2005. @@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1) I'm trying to set up my first SSIS package to import a flat file to a database table.

SQL Server Oracle parameters
I am creating a report using a query where the data source is an Oracle 8i database. I'm selecting data that is between 2 dates: "Select * from table where mydate is between :startdate and :stopdate". To get all of the data I need to use :stopdate + 1 to add a day for oracle SSRS uses dateadd to get the date that oracle requires. SSRS does not like the (+1) and Oracle does not recognize the dateadd function. How do I solve this problem P.S. This is my first SSRS report. Robert, Thanks for your response. Options 1 & 2 are feasible since we can only 'read' from the Oracle database. ...Show All

Hello, with wich variable can i access the clicked item in a MenuStrip I’ve tested it with MenuStrip1.ClickedItem but that doesn’t works. Please help me. Thanks.

Visual C# Compiler Issue?
In chapter 20.6.5 of the language spec it states that the following statement:- F (G < A, B >> 7); should be interpreted as a call to F with 2 arguments. ie 1st argument is G < A, 2nd argument is B >> 7 However when you compile such a statement you get the error error CS0019: Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' and 'int' which implies the compiler is treating the call to F as 1 argument ie G<A,B> > 7 Below is a silly example proving the point:- public class DoATest<A> where A : class { class B { }; public void SomeTest() { // Line as in 20.6.5 of language spec // error CS0019: Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' // and 'int' // ...Show All
.NET Development Where to store the users?
Hi! I'm building a WinForms (c#) application that will communicate to an SQL server on the same local network. However, the SQL-server will not be part of the same domain as the users (or the users machines). So, I'm a bit unsure where it will be best to store my users 1 - Store them in the Active Directory that the SQL-server belongs to. I guess I can do some kind of authentication from the WinForms app to active directory, but is there some way of doing this without sending the username and password in clear text Guess I'll still have to create SQL-accounts for the users as well, as long as I do not impersonate the application as the windows account Impersonation also seems to need to send the username and password in clear text. 2 ...Show All

Architecture JobObjects and Permissions
I am looking for a way to design an application that runs from a user account, possibly admin, possibly non admin, spawns group of processes, which in turn spawn more grandchild processes and at termination kills all processes including grandchild ones. Because there is no straight parent child grandchild relation in windows I found that it's best to use jobObjects for process grouping, unfortunately there seems to be troubles all the way from here. Firstly I tried creating the job object with user account (foo) and spawn suspended processes with (bar) limited account (CreateProcessWithLogonW) then add them to job object - access denied. Then I tried setting DACLS to NULL or "O:OWD:" or "O:OWD:(a;;ga;;ow)" or <insert more variations her ...Show All

Internet Explorer Development IWebBrowser2::ToolBar property not working under IE7
My web application installs a client-side control that uses the IWebBrowser2::ToolBar property to enable / disable the IE menu bar and toolbars. Under IE7 RC1 this works if my application is running in the _only_ IE7 tab; but if other tabs are open enabling / disabling toolbars has no effect. I can see why the tab bar isn't being hidden with more than one tab open, but not why other toolbars are not -- seems like they should be enabled / disabled as appropriate for the active tab (the IWebBrowser2::MenuBar property _does_ appear to work this way). Thoughts Suggestions for a workaround Thanks! Hi, Tony, Thanks for the response. Here is the scenario: a web application used widely in the title ins ...Show All
