Thanks!   sunny123 wrote: One small suggestion though, for PMs and other management teams, it would be "nice to have" a graphical representation of the branch merge sidekick and an actual report (like those in-built into TFS).

• SQL Server Delay in package starting when running from SQL Agent

  Hi, I wonder if anybody can shed any light on this problem. I have a SQL Agent job which has three steps, each step runs an SSIS package. The job is scheduled to start at 11.00 pm, which is does successfully. However, it has been taking between 2 and 3 hours to run, which is way longer than it should. When I've looked at the logging, I've found that the although the job starts at 11.00 pm, the first package (in job step 1) does not start executing until about 11.30. It finishes in about 5 minutes, there is then about an hour delay before the second package (in job step 2) starts. This finishes in about 10 minutes, then there is another hour delay before the third package (in job step 3) starts. I've tried configuring the steps ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom rules in FxCop 1.35

  I am facing problems while executing custom rules in FxCop. I wrote a very elementary custom rule and was able to compile it. Also added Rules.xml as a embedded resource. But when I add the same rule in FxCop GUI, the rule does not show as a node in the rules tab. I even tried copy-pasting one of the existing custom rules on the net but the result is the same. The rule compiles fine but FxCop GUI does not display the rule. Is there a specifc name that I should give to rules xml Here is the rules class #region Using directives using System; using System.Globalization; using Microsoft.Cci; using Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk; using Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk.Introspection; #endregion namespace FxCop.Rules { /// <summary> ...Show All

• Visual Studio Still show as Trial version after upgrade into Non-Trial version of VS2005

  Hi, I have a problem with VS2005. At first, I had standard version of VS2005 in my computer and it worked fine. A few months later, my boss asked me to install Team Suite (trial version) and it worked fine too (except it's a trial version). A month later, we bought Team Edition for Software developer version. After uninstalled the trial version and installed "Team Edition for Software Developer", the trial version still shows up on About Form with # of dates remain.

• Visual Studio Setting the selection in an add-in

  I would like to find the cursor position, then determine what codeElement contains the current cursor position, then select all the text in that code element, which is a function. So far I have been able to use "Selection.ActivePoint()" to get a TextPoint, then I can get the CodeElement for that TextPoint ( used Carlos great example for this. ) That's as far as I get - I've fumbled around with EndPoints and StartPoints, but can't seem to SET the selection for the current code element ( a function) from my add-in, so that I can get back the text in the selection. Any example of suggestions are greatly appreciated. RJ Assuming that you already have the point(s) that delimite the text that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problems with VSTO2005 on Vista

  hi, I just installed VSTO2005 (English version out of the box) + SE (download) on Windows Vista Business (german version). Now I have the following problems: 1) The language of the menu-items in the VSTO-IDE is mixed (english/german). For example I get a "File/Open" menu-item (in English) and a "File/Schliesen" menu-item ("Schliesen" is the german word for "Close"). 2) The local help (although successfully installed) cannot be accessed in the VS-IDE (is always empty). I have seen on Microsoft websites, that there exists a VS2005 SP1 and a VS2005 SP1 Update for Vista (Beta). BUT as VSTO2005 is NOT listed as a valid VS-version for VS2005 SP1, I cannot install it. And therefore I cannot install th ...Show All

• Visual C# copy data from 1 dimensional byte array to 2 dimensional byte array

  if i have 2 byte arrays such as byte[] s_temp_array = new byte[100]; byte[,] s_final_array = new byte[10,10]; is it possible to block copy s_temp_array into s_final_array and access s_final_array as a 2 dimensional array such as Buffer.BlockCopy( s_temp_array , 0, s_final_array , 0, 100 ); or would i need to go through every offset and just do it manually like Buffer.BlockCopy( s_temp_array , 0, s_final_array , 0, 10 ); Buffer.BlockCopy( s_temp_array , 10, s_final_array , 1, 10 ); Buffer.BlockCopy( s_temp_array , 20, s_final_array , 2, 10 ); Buffer.BlockCopy( s_temp_array , 30, s_final_array , 3, 10 ); etc..
