• Visual Studio a lot of errors

  Hi We have a vss 6.0 database, using vss 2005 client. We had some problems yesterday and did an analyze fixing the problems. a second analyze was reporting zero errors. Today we have some problem when getting a label from the commandline, it only gets the folder-structure, but not the files. trying a little back and forward without actually fixing anything it suddenly works. But the get reports a lot of errors like this File "$/13.0x/libs/comutil" not found comutil is a project and not a file, but it gets all the files below comutil. Why Doing another analyze reveals a lot of error again like these:   The file 'App.ico' (YJPBAAAA) lists 'fwfeaaaa' as a branch, but that file is missing or corrupted or ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista RequestedDisplayToken not being displayed

  I can't get CardSpace to display the RequestedDisplayToken. All other aspects of the transaction work (authentication succeeds, no CardSpace exceptions, and a good token is delivered to the relying party), but CardSpace just displays a blank space next to the "otherPhone" claim (or any other claim I try to use). I have tried all sorts of variations, with no luck. (I even deliberately mis-named the RequestedDisplayToken element, and CardSpace simply ignored it silently.) An example of my RSTR is below -- anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong <soap:Envelope xmlns:ic="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity" xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Data connection problem with numeric DB name

  Attempting to add a new data connection in VS2005 ... I can add the connection, and expand the tables node in the server explorer without a problem ... but when I attempt to expand stored procs or the other two nodes, I get the following error: Failed to retrieve data for this request. An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. Line 9: Incorrect syntax near '1'. The DB name happens to be [dbname]1. When connecting to a DB without a numeral in the name, I have no difficulties whatsoever, so I'm working based on the assumption that the numeral in the DB name is causing the problem. I don't have the option of renaming my data source ... is there another way of fixing this thanks ... ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PeerChannel issue - CPU spikes, then goes offline for a full minute

  The following problem was recently observed in an application that uses PeerChannel: 1. CPU suddently spiked and stayed high for 5 minutes, not triggered by any user activity. 2. PeerChannel status went to offline and CPU went back to normal levels. 3. PeerChannel stayed offline for a full minute, then finally went back online. No condition is known that contributed to this behavior; the number of other messages nodes was low (but definitely more than 2) and the rate of messaging is not excessive. Any ideas on what might cause this symptom It is causing the customer a lot of concern. Could you provide a simple repro for this problem Without looking at the repro it is hard to debug issues like this on a forum. ...Show All
