• Visual Studio Team System Build order not matching solution build order

  Hi, I am trying to build a single solution that contains 22 projects (20 C++ and 2 C#). The solution builds fine if I kick it off from the IDE, but several of the projects fails when I use a team build. Looking at the log, the problem is clearly that the team build is building the projects in a different order to that defined in the solution, and project dependencies mean that some lib files are not yet built, which are required for the failing projects. Can anybody shed some light on this please Harvey The problem exists not because of Team Build but how MSBuild (yes they are different) behaves outside of Visual Studio. Here is an excerpt from an MSBuild Forum post: http://forums.microsoft.co ...Show All

• .NET Development [C#]Binary registry values to file...

  Hello, and thanks for taking the time to look at this post... I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for me as to how I could write the values I pull from the registry, of type binary, to a file using C#. To explain what I am doing, the program creates a file in which it writes all data it pulls from the registry, the keys and the values, in order to create a valid *.reg file that can be kept as a backup for the user. No problems with any other value types so far, the problem with the binary is that it needs to be correctly written in the following format... 00, 00, 00, 01, 00, 00, 00, 01,\ ...adding the comma's and backslash for each line doesnt really come into it, its how do I break down the bytes from the returned byte arra ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance Issues, "Size" of SSIS-packages

  Hello! I have a general question concerning the impact on the performance of massive parallel data imports in one SSIS-package. We have a Database on a SQL2005 SP1-Server (2 Xeons 3,8 Ghz, 4GB of RAM) for a report web-app which is updated every day with data of the last year/3 years. The data is extracted from several different DBs on multiple machines at different locations. Right now, there are imports/transformations from 7 companies at 3 locations. The table has ~80 columns and about 2 Mio. Rows. I built a SSIS-Package with one companies import and added the others by c&p-ing all the tasks in the package and changing connection parameters and values. Soon there will be 6 more companies to do imports with, and there will possi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Newbie question - spawning new objects

  Hi folks, Apologies for asking a really simple question in the forums, but I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. I'm basically trying to create a very simple 2D XNA game in a week, from a background of not having programmed anything more complex than a VCR since Spectrum basic - it's for a magazine article, hence the need to cut a few corners when it comes to learning... I have a problem which - I'm sure - the solution will provide me with a Eureka moment in understanding how this is done. I've followed the excellent videos on LearnXNA.com and the built-in tutorials and have figured out how to draw sprites on to the screen and move them around. It's not much, but it's a start... How do I then add in new sprites as the game progr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Developing for the Enteprise - Guidance

  Hi, I'm looking for some good books/articles that cover distributed systems in enterprise environments. Those mustn't necessarily cover WCF though it would be great if they did. I'm particularly interested in how to design applications for redundancy/failover, scalability, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated! Tom Hi Madhu, thanks for your reply, this helps! However, there is one question left: Authentication: How do I handle authentication across different services without compromising performance (DB lookups for active seessions, etc.).

• Visual Studio Team System Error when trying to generate report rsItemNotFound

  The item '/EA Current Version/Remaining Work' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound) Get Online Help I checked the TFSwarehouse database and it Seems there are a few errors. A week ago I moved the Databases from our C: to our E: on our appServer01 because C was running out of space. That might`ve caused this - not sure.
