• Visual Studio Team System VSS Migration hanging TF60047 - how to move forward?

  I am in the middle of running VSSConverter to migrate our source (~2GB) from VSS to TFS. It has been hanging for an hour or so with error # TF60047. The error message says there could be a problem with the network connection or TFS connection. I am running in a single server setup so TFS and SQL Server are all on the same machine, and all are running, incl. all SQL Server service - I checked in Configuration Mgr. One problem earlier was that there was huge (~800K) memory usage by w3wp.exe which was being run by the TFSService account. So I shut down IIS. Now, even though memory usage is down to acceptable levels, the migration is still not moving forward. Any ideas on how I can proceed here Or if I were to start afresh, how do I do that ...Show All

• Visual C# Using private constructors in embedded classes

  Hi. I have a pretty simple question, though I don't know if it has a simple answer: I would like to define a class-within-a-class such that the embedded class can only be created by the outer class, but once created can be accessed publicly (similar to a factory pattern): class A { public class B { private B() { ... } } public B CreateB() { return new B(); } } This doesn't work as written, I get A.B.B() is inaccessible due to its protection level, and I get "inconsistent accessibility" errors with any other configuration I try. Is there some other protection level that will allow B.B() to be accessible to A, but not to anything outside of A Also, I'm not super clear on this "inconsistent accessibility" co ...Show All

  Hi ... I am a vb2005 novice so please be gentle I have filled 2 datasets with information. Both databases have a column called product code.

• SQL Server Distinct count with where clause

  Hi there I've little experience with MDX and would appreciate any help. I have a distinct count of a fact table of customer_id but I want a second measure where the distinct count has a where clause, where revenue(measure) >0. Both of the fields are in the fact table. Thanks in advance. Derek Hey Deepak Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm using 2005.

• Visual C# Managed Code Vs Unmanaged Code?

  I have read a lot on managed code and unmanaged code,now what I could understand is that any code that targets the .net framework is Managed code (right ),which inturn means its under the control of the CLR @ runtime. Assuming the above as true, I suppose unmanaged code does not target the framework or it does not come under the control of CLR @ runtime Can somebody explain this if possible with code example so that I can undersand the difference...thx. Hi, If you want to understand managed code, you'd first understand what is the .net framework, here is a good reference for you: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/DotNetWhitePaper.asp Managed code : The .NET framework provides several core run-time services to ...Show All

• SQL Server Invoking a web service using MSSOAPLib from a SQL Server CLR Procedure

  Hi, I need to invoke a web service from a CLR procedure without adding a web reference. I'm using MSSOAPLib for doing this. I am able to do this from a desktop application, but it doesnt seem to work in a SQL Procedure. The execution just seems to hang at the code ' SoapClient soapClient = new SoapClient (); '. There is no exception either, as the error message doesn't get logged in the catch block. I'm also unable to debug the procedure using the remote debugger provided with vs2005. It gives me a warning saying 'The breakpoint will not current be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document'. I have registered the assembly as UNSAFE.

• SQL Server Report Builder strange behaviour

  Hello to everybody. I am experiencing a strange behaviour of Report Builder. I have an AS2005 database with a cube with calculated members (all measures calculation). In the client application they need to see only the calculated members so I setup the visible option to "false" for all the others measures. If I browse the cube with browser of AS I have no problem, I can see the data in any shape possible. To give an example I have a report that shows for each Store how many visitors I received each month. The report has the store in the rows and the months in the columns. If I try to create the same reports with Visual Studio 2005 I have no problem either. Everything works fine. After doing these test I build up a model for th ...Show All
