• .NET Development web service project "Location" changed. How do i reset to local?

  Hi, We have a asp.net webservice project that was initially a “http” location project. Since then, the (local) http file system location was moved. Later, we tried converting this same web project to a “file system” location by dropping and reading the web project as a Location=”File System”. The problem is that I  need for this Project("{E24C65DC-7377-472B-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}") = "http://localhost/Symyx.Vault.Service/", "http://localhost/Symyx.Vault.Service", "{94FB464D-12E1-4DFF-9CDC-AB1B5C70975F}" to be this: Project("{E24C65DC-7377-472B-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}") = "D:\...\Symyx.Vault.Service\", "Symyx.Vault.Service", "{8EBCDBBC-E499-48FE-B306-1AA8A04DFFA1}" Initially, i get the "local" location by dropping and readding the w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Rule 24516 Error - What is it?

  Hello, We’ve been running TFS in production for about four months. We reevaluated our work item structure and made some changes in the available fields and work item layout. I then updated each project to use the new work items. Within one project, however, if I try to load my returned work items into Excel, I get a “Rule 24516 refers to a non-existing field” error. I am not sure if this problem is related to the work item changes - or if this problem was there before. As a test, the fields I removed from the work item definition were incorporated back into the work item, but this had no affect. I also reduced the columns displayed in the query to just System.Id, but the error still occurs when I load it into E ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug: Remove Becomes Delete

  I have a project from which I did a "remove" of a source file. My intent was to re-add it to a seperate project. However, when I checked the "Source Control Explorer," I see that the file I "removed" from the project is pending for "delete." I don't want the file physically deleted, I just want it removed from the first project. And yes, after hitting the remove request and being presented with the option for "remove" or "delete," I had selected "remove." Is this normal and I'm not understanding something, or is this a known bug Ok, if its not a bug, then it is an oversight on behalf of the TFS developers. The "Remove" command should not pend a dele ...Show All

• SQL Server Incorrect week number with DATENAME in localized query

  Hi, I'm trying to use the DATENAME function to get a correct Dutch week number, but the DATENAME function seems not to return a localized week number.

• SQL Server performance and tunning

• Visual C# PropertyGrid Cloning objects

  I have a TypeConverter that returns a set of standard values to display a dropdown list of objects of type B for a property of type A.

• SQL Server Quest for advanced queries

  I am pretty good at T-SQL as a .NET Application Developer, but now I need to take my skills of writing queries to the next level: the level required for Database Developers. I am sick and tired of writing simple inner join' s with a couple of where 's. I have a few books ("SQL Server 2000 Bible" and "The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL"), and Books Online are always available, so I have no problems with finding the answers. The problem is not with looking for answers, but with finding questions... Could someone please recommend me some source of good SQL-related questions, which would require writing complex queries (not just a few inner joins) A book (perhaps, some university's textbook with lots of advanced exer ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Radio Interface Library Privileged APIs

  Which RIL functions are priviliged It is not clear from the MSDN page whether these APIs are privileged or not (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms924486.aspx). Many of the SMS functions appear to be, but RIL Proxy specific functions are not well documented. Thanks, in advance. Chris According to this article, all RIL APIs are privileged. The RIL and RIL Proxy are part of the Celular driver stack. These components are indeed not documented - the docs might only be available to ODMs/OEM. Normally, an application has no need to call into these components directly. They sould be using the documented APIs. Is there a special reason why you need direct RIL access Michael ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. persistent backbuffer OR renderTarget (on 360) possible?

  I want to disable backbuffer clear. Though I have removed the Clear from my draw func it still gets cleared to black on Xbox360. Run the same thing on PC and the mystery clear doesn't happen (stuff I'm drawing correctly smears across the screen). I also tried to workaround w/ ResolveBackBuffer to a texture and draw this back at the beginning of each frame but thats not working for me either. In this case my Draw() looks like: Draw Backing Texture using Quad Draw new items ResolveBackBuffer -> Backing Texture I even tried double buffering the backing texture w/ no luck. Thirdly, I tried RenderTargets, but they also seemed to be getting cleared each frame as well! I would think there's gotta be a way for rendertarget contents ...Show All
