• Visual Studio Team System TF82001: MS Project can't connect to Team Foundation Server

  I have a weird issue. If I right click on a work item and click "open selection in MS Project" the selected work item appears in MS Project. BUT, if I save this file and then open it again I get the error: "TF82001: Cannot connect to the Team Foundation server. Please contact your server administrator." I'm going to reinstall the TFS client again to see if that resolves the issue. Jason, We are still working on the problem. Can you try the following as a workaround and let us know if that helps 1. Select a few workitems in Visual Studio. Right-Click and open in MS project. Then try both of these: 2a. Now, in this instance of MS Project that you just opened, go to file -> new and then connect the new project plan to the ...Show All

• Visual C# SQl server authentication issue in C#

  Hi Guys, I have a tool written in C# which connects to a remote SQl server 2005. Its working fine while I use "Integrated Security". However, I want to login the database using another credential instead of using the currently credentials associated with the tool. The reason for this was because not all the users using this tool have permission to access the database. So, I need sort of impersonation to allow any user using this tool to connect to the database. Is there any simple and efficnet way to do this Thanks. that means, sql server authentication is not enabled. Do you mean I just need to enable both authentications Let me try. But is this a good practise Thanks ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 2005 Macros and 5744

  Macros in Visual Studio seems to have stopped working in Vista RC2. When attaching to vsmsvr.exe exceptions are thrown when you try to run a macro from devenv.exe. From debugging the disassebly I think it is a access denied message. I also saw a string "Bad IL format" if that helps. Anyone have an idea how to solve this issue without waiting for RTM or going back to RC1 Has anyone gotten anywhere with this I am running into it too. I have a clean VistaRC2 install (32bit) followed by a clean VS2005 install (no SP1) Do we really just have to wait for VS2005 SP1 to resolve this thanks :-) -john ...Show All

• SQL Server Msg 15259, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The DEFAULT_SCHEMA clause cannot be used with a Windows group ...

  Hi all, I'm trying to (a) resolve/understand the issue for this error; (b) find the correct place to look up SQL Server Error messages like MSG 15259 The full error message is: Msg 15259, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The DEFAULT_SCHEMA clause cannot be used with a Windows group or with principals mapped to certificates or asymmetric keys. Now, that does seem reasonably descriptive. My confusion is due to the fact that the SQL I ran was based on the MS template: Templates\Users\Create Schema User which is: -- =================================== -- Create Schema User template -- =================================== USE <database_name, sysname, AdventureWorks>; GO -- Create a login using a Window ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Frames Per Second (FPS)

  I've recently added an FPS component to my engine and I am getting different results than I thought I would. With nothing being rendered, I get about 1400 fps - so far so good. But when I add in a small 32x32 grid, it drops all the way down to 78 fps - seems very low for just a small grid. When I then add in my skydome, it drops down to 48 fps. I haven't tried putting in some boxes or anything else yet. Does this seem a bit off I am using variable time step, vsync disabled, and a 1024x768 backbuffer.

• .NET Development How does .NET Data Provider for SQL Server convert varchar data to Unicode?

  When the data provider returns converts the value in a varchar field to a .NET string, how does it determine the encoding conversion to perform My guess is that it's determined by the collation setting on the column, but I'm not sure For example, if the collation is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, the Provider converts from code page 1252 to Unicode. Does anyone know for sure the strategy applied here Potts -- >> My guess is that it's determined by the collation setting on the column, but I'm not sure This is correct. The server sends the client the collation for the column, and we store this as part of the column's metadata. When you ask for the string value in your .NET application, we conver ...Show All

  I know how to display text on the screen using bitmap fonts, but I would like to know how to make the text appear like it does in role-playing games. You know where the text is slowley shown on the screen one letter at a time. You could create a class and store the entire string. Then on the update method increase a counter. Then show x number of letters of the string based on the counter value, etc. You could mess with counter increment or do a mod, to change the speed of display. Or you could use a System.Timers.Timer and increment the letter count on elasped. ...Show All

• .NET Development sql injection :: filtering datagridview

  I use a textbox to filter my datagridview's binding source on keydown. I'm facing problems if the user enters apostrophes and other undesirable characters into the textbox.
