• SQL Server User securables

  I use Win XP version 2002, SP2 and SSE version 9.00.2047.00 I create a database user and I add the securable objects (ex selected tables) to securables section of user properties. I press ok. When I re-open the user properties the securable objects are not there. They are not displayed..! Any suggestions Well, I can tell you that they indicated it would be part of the next update, to SQL Server, however, for the time being you have to manually re-select the objects to view in your window, then when selected it will display the current security... The information given to me at the time was related to performance, but to me it still seems like unreasonable behaviour. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can I use the [!if] directive in Visual Studio 2005 templates?

  In Visual Studio 2003,I can use the [!if] directive.How about Visual Studio 2005 Thanks! This is still supported by the old .vsz based project/item wizards using the VSWizardEngine. But a similar feature has not yet been implemented for the new .vstemplate based wizards. Currently, the only way to programatically add content using the new .vstemplate based wizards, would be a custom IWizard implementation, where you control what's added by way of changing the contents in the ReplacementsDictionary, passed to the IWizard.RunStarted.

• Windows Search Technologies Add a new location to wds3

  Is there a simple way to add a new location to the wds3 scope In 2.5 (or 2.6 ) we could edit the locations in the registry under HKCU. Since wds3 is now running as SYSTEM and there is only one indexer per machine I guess HKCU a suitable place for this If we have to implement Craw-Scope related Interfaces could you point me in the right direction where to find then. Or better still point me in the direction of some sample code I can tear up. Again my preference is to do this in C#, so any interface for C# would be fantastic. (If it can be done) Thanks Paul. The registry key\values at that location seem to refer to a store. What I was looking for is a registry key to add a path to the lis ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CA2209 (min security) disappears after assembly is strongly signed

  Hi, When I create a brand new assembly and then immediately run FxCop 1.35 on the resulting code, amongst the issues flagged up are: CA2210 - Sign xxx with a strong name key CA2209 - No valid permission requests were found etc If I simply sign the assembly and then re-compile and re-run FxCop, both of the above issues disappear. Why does signing the assembly resolve the issue of permission requests. Is this intentional Regards David Razzetti David, Thanks for the report. This is a known issue and will be fixed in the next version of FxCop/Visual Studio. This rule is only applicable to assemblies marked with AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XACT files(xgs,xsb,xwb) don't deploy during Publish; getting FileNotFound

  My problem: My game project in XNA uses 2 sounds. I went thru the XACT tutorial(for my uses I found it quite easy to add my .wav files used via XACT), and I now have all code in place, and functioning. When I Start Debugging in XNA, my game runs correctly, and I get the correct audio plays when the proper events cue them up. HOWEVER, once I publish the same project, and install it from the Setup.exe, the installed game crashes. I get the error: system.io.filenotfoundexception. What I have checked already: 1.All 3 XACT files are in my main game directory. 2. All 3 are set to 'always copy' to output directory. 3. All references in the Sound.cs class I created point to the correct XACT files(the build would not run if it did ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System changing TFS server name

Now the team wants to change this server to be a production server. according to naming standarts, the team wants to change the server name. has anyone encountered a similar scenario and configured some best practices for that. I myself can think of 2 difirent scenarios: 1. ghost the server, change the server name, start troubleshooting any araising problems (not that good i suppose). 2. ghost the server, uninstall the tfs server, change the server name, install tfs from scratch. any ideas guys try this approach.
