Visual Studio Team System Groups and membership
I have defined some groups on server and project level. I would now like to have an overview of the membership and relations between those different group definitions. Could anyone come up with an SQL query that would give me this overview Thanks. Hey paso, The warehouse does not keep track of groups, unfortunately. Try contacting the TFS-Admin forum for assistance: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=477&SiteID=1 I know that generally we reserve the right to change the database schema, so it's better to go through the APIs to get the information you're looking for. You would go through the IGroupSecurityService interface. You'd retrieve it by doing something like this: ...Show All

Smart Device Development How to manage phone calls without using TAPI on Windows Mobile 2003 SE Phone edition
When I'm using TAPI to manage the phone functionality of my device MDA III (Windows Mobile 2003 SE Phone Edition) I have a problem with GPRS reconnection. When I remove the code, which uses TAPI the reconnection works, but I can't use my phone. One solution is to use the default device’s phone application, but in this case I must invoke it, when I want to make a phone call, show it on the screen and transfer the phone number. The other problem is the case with incoming calls. I don’t know whether is possible to catch these calls without TAPI. I read some articles about RIL, but I don’t know how to use it ! Best Regards Tihomir Ignatov You don't want to use RIL. It is not designed for applications to use it directly, so ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Interesting problem
Hi everyone. I seem to be having an interesting problem in my test app. It should draw a circle of points (please look at the Sub below). What it does is that in debug mode it draws an ellipse (in fullscreen) and if I run it as an executible it draws a circle. Do you know why :) Private Sub OnBufCreate( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim buffer As VertexBuffer = CType (sender, VertexBuffer) Dim verts As CustomVertex.PositionColored() = New CustomVertex.PositionColored(numverts) {} Dim n As Integer = 0 Dim x, z As Single Dim c As Color For n = 0 To numverts - 1 c = Color.Green x = Math.Round(dist * Math.Sin(n * Math.PI / 180), 15) z = Math.Round(dist ...Show All
Visual C# accessing inner exceptions in embedded try catch
when we have a global try catch and a lot of small try catches inside the code. How do I get the embeded inner error that causes an error if this exception is located many levels inside the code The thing is if I use throw exception , my code will not continue, right , but the whole point of using try catch is that I want my code to continue execution. Thanks My advice is not to catch exceptions unnecessarily, but allow them to propagate upwards to the highest point in the call stack where you still have programmatic control. For example, in a Windows Form application, I would only catch exceptions in UI event handlers (e.g,. on button click event handlers), and display an appropriate messag ...Show All

Visual Basic Do Build Event scripts support environment variables?
Can I use %ProgramFiles% in a post build event script VS does not appear to have a "macro" for the Program Files directory, and the relevant MSDN topic makes no mention of environment variables. Thanks! -Doug I don't think I understand...I can't write VB code in the Build Events text box. It only supports command-line arguments. And although it supports a list of "macros" like $(ProjectDir) (listed in the MSDN topic "Pre-build Event/Post-build Event Command Line Dialog Box"), there's no macro for the Program Files directory.

Visual Studio Team System Configuration of TFS
IS there documentation about best practices or suggestions about how best to configure TFS for a particular development environment. What I am referring to here is a discussion about the use of Team Projects, Areas, and the likes and thigns to consider. For example at my compnay we have a TFS installed and will be used by three departments. Each department has about 5 applications that will be managed with TFS and we are wondering what the best approach is. Is each department a Team Project or is each application regardless of department a Team Project. Questions like this. Thank you Jim - There are many factors that determine when to create new projects. I would suggest that you check out these docs about projects. http:// ...Show All

.NET Development OleDbDataAdapter.Fill doesnt fill primary keys into DataTable
Hi, m_dbAdptrRemedies = new OleDbDataAdapter("", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + m_RemediesFilename); m_dbAdptrRemedies.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT Nr, Name, Bezug, [Position], * FROM tListenListe ORDER BY [Position]"; table = new DataTable(); m_dbAdptrRemedies.Fill(table); Although Ive set a primary key for column "Nr" in MS Access the filled DataTable has no primary key set. Sure I could do it myself, but I want to find out if the SELECT command returns data with our without primary key, because there might be wrong tables that dont have it and this way wont allow to use a CommandBuilder for update lateron.

Software Development for Windows Vista Can't Open a Saved Executing Workflow - Persistence Not Working
For some reason I'm not able to load a saved workflow that is executing. I've created a very simple workflow that has 2 delay activities. When the first delay activity executes the function workflowRuntime_WorkflowIdled is called. I perform a very simple test where I save the running workflow to a file and then I try to reload it off of disk. When I reload the workflow I get the error shown down below. void workflowRuntime_WorkflowIdled( object sender, WorkflowEventArgs e) { using ( FileStream saveFileStream = new FileStream ( "c:\\test.bin" , FileMode .OpenOrCreate)) { workflowInstance.GetWorkflowDefinition().Save(saveFileStream); } using ( FileStream openFileStream = new ...Show All
SQL Server copying tables from 2000 to 2005 express
I have a rather sizeable SQLServer 2000 database. To work on an issue, I would like to copy just a couple tables into SQL Server 2005 Express. How does one go about this efficiently You are right, there are no tools for that. What about either doing a backup / restore on the databases OR do a manally SELECT INTO with using linked servers Another option would be to script the structure and then script the data from the table and execute the data script on the other server.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hosting WCF service in IIS
I'm having difficulty hosting a service in IIS where the service is implemented in a seperate assembly. It appears the latest release of .NET 3.0 has changed the syntax for doing this, dropping the @Service directive entirely. I have no problem hosting the service is inline or if the service implementation is included in the Web project. It's only when using an assembly from the bin directory where it won't work. TIA That's it, Jon. Thanks. But servicemoduelreg alone doesn't fix the problem. I found the fix here: See: http://blogs.msdn.com/wenlong/archive/2006/09/10/748294.aspx ...Show All
