• Windows Forms bindingNavigator with two table.

  Hi, My application has a dataset which contain two tables, tableA and tableB. I create one form, then I add the fields from tableA and tableB into it. Then I create one bindingNavigator. When I try to navigate the field with the navigator, only fields from tableA are able to be navigate, those fields from tableB no respond. I think this is because the bindingNavigator is bind to tableA. But what I need is when I click ‘next’ at the bindingNavigator, I able to goto next record of all the fields from tableA and tableB. Can someone please do me a favor, teach me what should I do Thank you very much. p/s: tableB and one foreign key of tableA.

• Visual Studio Team System CTP7 Download Location

  We are happy to announce that CTP7 is already here, no need to wait till next Monday, here it is! http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/1/9/319c5020-0fed-4dc1-b043-69567fda3941/TeamDataCTP7.exe CTP6 was only released 2 weeks ago, so what changed We added how many errors/warnings you want to see and make it configurable.

We made the warnings and error numbers explicit so no more overloaded meaning errors and warnings, I will post a list of these in a while combined with examples on when the will occur.

• SQL Server SQL Server Replication not very robust

  I am nearing the end of development and some last minute database changes were required for a SQL Server 2000 (SP 4) database running merge replication. According to SQL Server Books Online, making changes to the schema should be relatively easy. But everytime I've done so, something goes wrong and I end up having to start from scratch. For example, I added a column to a table through the replication publication properties dialog box in SQL Server Enterprise Manager. It was a simple and straight forward process. But after a short period of time, it was discovered that replication had stopped. The merge agent wasn't running. When I tried to start it again, it failed and stated that it needed an updated snapshot. So I ran the snapshot ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to structure directories for .vbproj's shared amonst several solutions?

  I've got several programs that all use at least one Shared project (Shared.vbproj) I'm trying to structure thier directories. I'm planning to use what's below. My goal is to be able to move the ROOT folder to another location and have everything still work. Any downsides to this: (or a better way) Can anyone point me to a resource describing this (I read up a bit on this in the MSDN, but the best example I found doesn't really describe how to organize the directories themselves) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_ch3.asp \Root  (directory)   -Program1.sln  (which contains Program1.vbproj and Shared.vbproj   -Program2.sln  (which contains Program2.vbproj a ...Show All

• Visual Studio UNC path of a local folder on Server??

  I have installed VSS 2005 on a WinXP Pro box (Server). I created a database at C:\VSS. I open SSAdmin, Server > Configure > Enable SourceSafe Internet for this database. It says, open the DB in UNC path. The folder is shared as "VSS". It is not accepting the "VSS" string in the create new database wizard.  It says, its not a valid UNC path. What do I need to give the UNC of a folder which is in the local file system of Server and shared as "VSS"   I tried "<computername>\VSS".. its not working because the server is looking for the computer on the network while its the name of the server itself. Sorry if I am dumb, but I couldn't find any documentation on this. TiA. I am trying to access this VSS folder from ...Show All
