• Visual Studio Team System Data Generation of Foreign keys -- failing (CTP 7)

  I am trying to use the data generation plans to generate some test data. however, it seems that foreign keys columns are a problem. I keep getting an error Error 420 The data type of column <my column> is Int. The selected data generator 'Foreign Key' with the selected output 'Output' does not generate data that can be converted to this type. Select a different data generator. can anyone shed some light on a work around I have fixed the problem in my case. The columns were both of type int but the primary key that I was referencing was "IDENTITY(1,1)", I'm not sure what this syntax means but when I changed it to just "IDENTITY" the data generation worked without any error. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Setting default WorkItem field values during creation of New Team Project

  Hi, I've created a creation wizard that will gather information from the user when they create a new team project. I'd like to be able to set some fields of work items when they are created to the values that were entered in the wizard during project creationg. For example, during the wizard a user will enter the project category along with name. Each bug entered will also have the project category saved in a field that is also a dimension. I don't want the user to have to enter the project category when entering bugs. Is there any way to get the information from the wizard back into the Team Project XML Or some way to change the Process template tasks lists during project creation to have the custom field default to a certain va ...Show All

• Visual Basic User Defined Type not defined

  hi, I'm having 10 projects in a group. 9 of them are dlls/ocx, when i execute the projects individually they run fine..But when i execute them in the group the message is popped up. "User defined type not defined". Any help appreciated. I also tried to set the compartibility to "No Compartibility", but individually they work fine and do not show where the mismatch is. I cannot set the "No Compartibility" to all the projects in the Group, obivously they'll fail. Request your help. Thanks & Regards, Amit Hi, What i guess from your description is that you are compiling DLLs and then using them in the same solution in another project. To do so, you need to add reference to the projec ...Show All

• .NET Development Bug in Stack<>(IEnumerable<T> collection) constructor

  Consider the following code: Stack<int> stack = new Stack<int>(); stack.Push( 1 ); stack.Push( 2 ); Stack<int> copy = new Stack<int>( stack ); int a = copy.Pop(); int b = copy.Pop(); The result is a == 1 and b == 2, which is incorrect IMHO. The constructor creates a reverse copy of the stack, this might be correct behaviour when creating a copy from for example a List<>, but in this case I asumed it would make a copy of my stack. (compiled&run in VS2005). No, it is not a bug. Documentation for this constructor: "The elements are copied onto the Stack in the same order they are read by the IEnumerator of the ICollection ." The Stack constructor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Field-name used in error message

  When the Label of a field in the FORM section is different from the name of the field and a rule is not fullfilled at commit-time, the error shows the name of the field and not the name of the label. However the user can not find a field with that name because on the forms only the Label-name is showed. E.g.: if the "Found In" field required and the label for the field on the form has been set to "Build Version" then the error shown when the field is not set becomes: "TF20012: Field "Found In" cannot be empty". There is no field with a such a name on the form. True but that only works in a limited number of cases where the name would be ok. In his example he need ...Show All

• Visual Basic surpressing the "Printing page 1 of Document" message

  I am using vb.net. and sql server 2005 reporting services. But the report in question uses the local report functionality. I am writing a credit card processor that prints a slip at the end of the transaction. There is an annoying message form that pops up on the screen stating that it is "Printing Page 1 of Document" . It seems to be beyond my reach. Its position is the typical windows auto positioning (ala cascade). I dont want the user to see it. How do i surpress this printing message Is it embedded in the printer driver or spooler services Is it surpressable from the reporting services local report configuration Thanx What about when using the Printer Compatibility Library ...Show All

• .NET Development Client Authentication using X 509 certificates

  I am a WSE newbie and am trying to authenticate a client application (written in .NET) to a web service (written in .NET) using WSE 3.0. All I care about is authenticating the client and do not care about encryption or mutual authentication. When I am using the WSE 3.0 wizard to generate the client side policy file, it forces me to enter the name of a server certificate (which does not seem right) along with the client cert (which is right). My understanding is that the server cert (only the public key is needed on the client) is needed to authenticate the server, as in a mutual authentication scenario. Now if my use-case is only to authenticate the client, and not care to authenticate the server, how do I do that in WSE 3.0. If ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Join vs. Lookup vs. Custom Script - which is fastest?

  Very often we have 50'000+ rows which you need to pull values from different source (e.g. CityNames from citycode in Excel file). Currently we are using Lookup - but the questions is which of those 3 options is best in performance wise TheViewMaster wrote: Thanks guys for your answers - I will try it out performance testing this weekend on my free time. So far it has seemed to me merge join is slower than lookup, however, lookup seems to take much longer than i like it to - so i was wondering if creating a script transform would be better solution... Just wanted to get an idea - based on you experience which option do you use OK. Well I am loath to give my opinions on performance comparisons but I'd lay alot of money to ...Show All
