• Visual Basic CheckBox Service control (VB, VS 05)

  I decided to try and expand my project, I now wish to have the (current, I'm adding more as I find out which aren't required ) two processes here's a brief on what stage the additions are at. I have added 4 check boxes named; SpoolCheck1 SpoolCheck2 MDMCheck1 MDMCheck2 (more will be added as I find out more that can be stopped) and two command buttons named; StopCheckedButton StartCheckedButton I would like to 'link' the check boxes to the command buttons, but the checkboxes job (when checked, then clicking the start/stop command buttons) is to start/stop the selected program/process, in this case spool and mdm. I have these codes for starting and stopping the processes and return a message if there is a problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MICROSOFT - Please Clarify

  For me all this is hopelessly confusing. Can anyone from Microsoft tell me if I will be able to install CTP7 with my current copy of Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers I don't want to uninstall CTP6 and then be told I don't have the correct version of VS to install CTP7. Thanks - Amos. Hi Amos, No. If you have no other version of VSTE, then DataDude (RTM) will install as a standalone product. AKAIK - If you DO have VSTE (for example Developer) THEN DataDude will (as it does in VSTS) extend the installed Version to include the DataDude features. This is why CTP7 will not install alone (RTM will). CTP7 is only the extensions required on top of VSTS but does not include ex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Warehouse update problem

  Hello, We created a custom report that gets data from the TfsWarehouse.dbo.File table. The report works fine, except it does not return information about files in one specific folder. This folder was migrated to the TFS source control just recently (two weeks ago, while everything else was migrated a month earlier) using VSSConverter. When I do a simple select * from dbo.[File], I don't see any files from that folder. I tried everything from this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244674(VS.80).aspx without any success. Finally I used Setupwarehouse -rebuild followed by http://localhost:8080/Warehouse/v1.0/warehousecontroller.asmx "Run", it was working for 1.5 hours, but select * from dbo.[File] still does ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot open database "xx" requested by the login. The login failed.

• SQL Server Custom Code for a Parameter

  I'm using a GAC-installed assembly as part of a Reporting Services (2005) report. The code does not need any permissions beyond execution. All it does it take today's date and calculate last week's start and end date. It's all just datetime manipulations. All methods are static. In the VS2005 report designer, I can do everything fine. The code runs as expected and defaults the parameters to the right date. When I upload the rdl to the Report Server, I get the message "Error during processing of ‘Start’ report parameter. (rsReportParameterProcessingError) ". If I override the "Start" parameter, it doesn't give me that error anymore. Start should be the Sunday of the previous week.
