• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Configuration help.

  I am having some configuration problems and I would like to solicite some help from this group. I have tried reading "Programming 'INDIGO'" on configuration but it seems that many of the tag names and configuration sections have changed so that it is very hard to take samples from the book and apply them. Is there a better reference on configuration of server and client Where would be the best place to go for samples At a very basic level I would like to configure a client and server to use or listen on an HTTP address and a TCP address. This seems simple enough but the configuration has me tripped up right now. Thank you. Kevin "Programming Indigo" is pretty out of date. For sam ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MissingMethodException in SqlServerCe 2.0

  I am running MW 5.0 on a AXIM X51 and using ActiveSync 4.0. I am writing code with VS 2003 in VB.NET->Smart Device Application and deploying in Pocket PC.

• Visual Studio Team System Accessing Test Fixtures from Team Policy

  Coders, I am trying to write a Policy for Visual Studio Team System. From my policy I need to be able to access the Test Fixtures for the currently loaded Solution in Visual Studio . I can probably think of a few hacky ways I can do this myself but I would assume there to be some sort of elegant object model that I can take advantage of. If there was some sort of programmatic access to the Test Manager widget this would be ideal. If any one can guide me towards any assemblies or extension points to Visual Studio that gives me access to the Test Manager or some object model around the Test Fixtures for the Visual Studio Solution, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Callum Hello Cal ...Show All

• Windows Forms Newbie with uninstall and update questions

  Hello, I am a complete newbie when it comes to VB and VB Express Edition. My issue with my app is twofold: 1.) when uninstalling the app, only the start menu shortcuts are removed. The files and folders are not. Is there way to force these files to be removed 2.) when auto-updating the app, I either need to have it delete the old files, or find a way to change the "home directory" setting in IIS automatically. Are either of these possible with the express version If so, how do I go about implementing the changes Are you using clickonce In clickonce it does remove and reinstall so if you have any data files, make sure you mark it as data so that it keeps ...Show All

• SQL Server loading mining model error

  Hello, I am using SQL Server 2005, and trying to load a mining model : microsoft association rules through a VB.net.

Thanks a lot, Mita Are you doing this in a VB.Net app where you've embedded the DM viewer controls The error you're seeing might be due to mismatched client components.

• SQL Server Accuracy of Host column on SS 2000 Enterprise Manager Current Activity Process Info Screen

  Yesterday and today, the Process Info screen in Enterprise Manager indicates that the "Host", a single workstation on our network, is generating around 50 connections to the database. This particular application is well-behaved and typically generates only 2 to 5 connections per instance. Furthermore, we cannot find this particular workstation/host on our network because we retired it off the network some time ago. Anyone know of the accuracy of the Hosts column on this Enterprise Manager screen We're suspecting that the network address column is correct but the Hosts column is incorrect. There are about 10 different network addresses pertaining to this particular Host (1-5 connections per network address). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Basic setup project for VSTO includes primary DLL with document.

  Question I am trying to create a install project for an Excel VSTO solution and following the Installer Walkthrough #2 example. Upon running into problems with the install, I decided to piecemeal the actions into step by step process in a new project to determine the failure point of the original setup project. When I created the new setup project to just install the primary output of my Excel VSTO project, I dutifully told it not to install support dlls by excluding them in the install project. When I ran the installer, it installed my Excel file and the primary VSTO dll which sits behind it as well as the config settings file. My question is this, “ Can one install only the Excel file using the Microsoft I ...Show All

• SQL Server How to: join 1 table to 2 columns in another table?

  I have two tables: Orders, with OrderID as primary key, a code for the client, and a code for the place of delivery/receipant. Both the client and place of delivery should be linked to the table: Relations, where each relation has it's own PrimaryID which is a auto-numbered ID.
