• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a new website hangs VWDE

  Everytime I click "Create Web Site" either from the start page or the file menu, Visual Wed Developer 2005 Express hangs. It shows 'not responding' in the title bar and task manager, and I have to use task manager to kill it. I never get the dialog box. Nothing in the application event log. No errors or anything! Anyone have any ideas what's going on Dave There was a similar problem that was reported in C# Express but we weren't able to repro the issue. Can you try taking a look at the thread and seeing if you can follow any of the suggestions to get it working: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=775022&SiteID=1&PageID=1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Add persisted storage to p2p custom resolver.

  Hi! I'm looking into using WCF p2p channels as a notification mechanism in an enterprise application. I have started looking at the Chat sample. The problem with the custom resolver in this sample is that it maintains the node cache of the mesh in memory, and a restart of the resolver creates new, separate meshes as described here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=635536&SiteID=1 I know that PNRP is an option, but I'm not sure that all machines that we need to run this on supports this technology. I would like to add persistent storage to my custom resolver. I have did some testing deriving from CustomPeerResolverService and overriding members like Register/Update/Unregister.

  We are just starting to roll TFS out at our shop. However, we are experiencing the TF31002 error on 2 seperate client boxes. I have already tried the following with now success.

Start Visual Studio. 4. Connect to the Team Foundation Server through the Tools menu Connect to Team Foundation Server option. T ...Show All

• SQL Server How to read a .PST file from a SSIS package?

  Hi everyone, I'd like to read a .PST file (which contains thousands of mails) regardless of Exchange client. Is it possible Thanks for your input SSIS doesn't have an out-of-the-box component to do just that. If there's an OLE DB, .NET or ODBC provider for that data source, you can try that (I'm not sure there is one, but it's amazing to see the wealth of connectors out there for surprising data sources, you might want to check that). Perhaps, another way could be exporting .PST file into some format SSIS can consume (i.e. flat file or xml) and get the data into SSIS that way. And of course, you can always write your own component and plug it in SSIS. ...Show All
