• Software Development for Windows Vista Visual Studio 2003 hangs on Vista Build 5472

  If I try to use the "Find in Files" feature of VS 2003, it just hangs VS and you can only kill the process. This happens when you select search in Entire Solution or Current Project. Note: I have launched VS to run using Administrator. This did not happen on Vista Builds 5342 or 5308. Is there any workaround I don't know of any workaround, unfortunately this also occurs in the RTM version of Vista. Did you find a solution in the meantime I've also seen some reports on this bug on Microsoft Connect, but no reaction from MS. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Creating a CAB file that will install files with % characters in their names

  I am trying to create a CAB file for a smart device installer. I started out using the visual studio project type "Smart Device CAB Project" and from there started editing the .inf file by hand to try to get my scenario to work. I need to install files that have percent (%) characters in their names. If the filenames are inserted without change into the .inf file, cabwiz.exe generates errors like: Error: Line 100 - unsupported DirID 20 Error: Line 112 - unsupported DirID 3 Error: Line 139 - unsupported DirID 3 Error: File c:\docume~1\rathag\locals~1\temp\wiz955.inf contains DirIDs, which are not supported I tried doubling the percent signs to escape them, but this resulted in cabwiz thinking I was using replacement values: Warnin ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio/BIDS out of memory errors opening large DTSX files

  I'm currently experiencing major problems with SSIS when opening and editing large .DTSX package files that contain Exec DTS 2000 Tasks which have the package data loaded internally. I have no issues if I point the task to a .DTS file, or to an actual DTS package on a SQL 2000 server - but if I load the package internally then once the underlying .DTSX file gets over around 17MB or so in size (which doesnt take long making a few edits to even fairly simple packages now and then), I start to experience major issues with VS/BIDS 2005 crashing randomly when I try to perform any action with the package (open, save etc). Things like OutOfMemory exception errors, followed by the properties of Exec DTS 2000 task being deleted, and also sometimes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System AssignedTo to be none for WorkItemCreation in Team Build

  Hi, Please let me know if i can have Assigned To as blank/empty i.e unassigned for WorkItemCreation during Team build. My requirement is: When the build fails , the workitem should be created with AssignedTo as unassigned, so that later the Administrator can reassign later to respective user. Thanks in advance You could modify the list of values for the assigned to and create a value called Unassigned. When any Bug workitem is created, it could default to that value until someone reassigns it. You could also create a custom solution for when builds fail and assign it to the Unassigned value. This way the default vallue could be an actual user, while build failures would just get assigned differen ...Show All

  Hello, We are running SQL2K5 and have a Web server with a family of sites all sharing an identical connection string to enable ADO connection pooling between them. Today for about 20 minutes we had several (all ) connections from one site that uses a specific DB get a connection reuse error which showed in out SQL logs: DESCRIPTION: The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID #, which had been reset for conection pooling. This error may have been caused by an earlier operation failing. Check the error logs for failed operations immediately before this error message. We also have SQL Server slowdown and log in problems from other applications that seemed a symptom of this, or some third unknown cause. Note, the # means the ...Show All

    Hello, XPSP2 VB2005Express I have a very small data entry application. The database is an access database created by ADOX.
