• Visual Studio Team System Get specific version tells me file is being used by another process

  Sometimes when I select a folder and run the get specific version (I choose latest and check both boxes to force get), TFS will show a message box telling me that some file could not be processed because it was being used by another process. I am assuming this is because another user is either checking a file out or in or is also pulling the latest version. That is, TFS is the "other process". Why doesn't TFS simply retry pulling the file or files instead of waiting until I come back to the office to push the freaking button so the fetch will finish Then to get the file, of course I have to do a get again. Is this a bug or a feature Sometimes I see that the file in the message box has "Latest" marked as "y ...Show All

• .NET Development The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

  I just installed Visual Studio 2005 today and I'm already getting an error. This code worked fine on 2003. I am running Windows XP 64 so I definitely have the latest MDAC. Anyone know why I would get this error Dim strConnect As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & GetWorkingPath() & "db.mdb;Persist Security Info=False;" conn = New OleDbConnection(strConnect) conn.Open() I'm getting the same problem, but when I do the x86 option it doesn't help, either in C# or VB.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Where can I download the wss12.xsd file?

  I am trying to edit a .webpart file and would like to add the schema to the properties for the file in VS 2005. However, in my 12 hive directory there is only a wss.xsd file and no wss12.xsd or anything resembling that. Several forum posts make references to the wss12.xsd file but I can't find it on the web anywhere. Also, I have installed SharePoint 2007. I looked there and I do not have the file. I have the wss.xsd filebut not the wss12.wsd. I saw all the posts that imply the file should be thre, but I don't have it. I need to know where I can download it from. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Basic SplitContainer without the splitter

  How do I remove the horrible dotted line that the SplitContainer has when it is selected If I'm not completely mistaken, the dotted line is the focus rectangle. If you don't give any visual clues as to when the splitter is selected, it makes it very hard to use the keyboard to change its position (the user wouldn't get any feedback that the splitter is the currently selected item) The focus rectangle shows up for pretty much every control that can currently has the focus.

• SQL Server Snapshot Size Limit

  Hi, Has anyone tried to create and view a snapshot 2 Mb or more in size Is there a rough estimate on the limit before either the server or the client machine that is browsing the snapshot hangs So far from our tests, a 1.4 Mb snapshot loads after 5 minutes, and a 3 Mb snapshot loads indefinitely (so far, it's 2 hours and running, with the client machine's page file being maxed out). And besides reducing the data for the snapshot, what else can be done to avoid this Any information is appreciated. Thanks! Thanks Brian, although I apologize for not being a bit clear in my initial post. Actually, I don't have problems executing the snapshot. It's just that after the snapshot is executed and is "recorded,&quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Nullable fields when using SELECT...INTO

  Hi, Could anyone tell me what governs whether a column is set as nullable or not nullable when creating a table using SELECT...INTO. It just seems to pick at random for me! I'm quite sure this is not the case. Is there a way to force a column to be non- nullable I seem to be wasting a lot of time going through and altering the schema so I can use the columns in keys and indexes.
