Visual Studio Team System No empty catch blocks?
We currently have a development standard that states: No Empty Catch Blocks Catch blocks shall implement explicit handling for the exceptions they catch. Does anyone have a problem with this dev standard We are thinking about creating our own FxCop rule for this, but just wanted a sanity check. We have thought about this rule and will likely implement this in a future version of Visual Studio/FxCop. There are few things you will need to note: There are valid situations where having an empty catch block is exactly what you want when catching a very specific exception, such as FileNotFoundException or FormatException. You need to take into consideration instructions that should be considered as empty, such as nop (No operat ...Show All
Windows Forms Need Help!!!!!! URGENT
I am troubling in getting data from datagrid. I am using C#, MS VS 2003 and my project is windows form not web base. I create data table and set it as a dataGrid.datasource = datatable; It's working. But my problem is I don't know how to retrieve data from dataGrid. Anyone has any idea Plssssssss help. I need it urgently. Thanks. George well if you have bound the datasource of the datagrid to the dataset for example, using the SqlDataAdapter to fill the dataset with records, you can call the Update() method of the SqlDataAdapter which will then automatically update the database for you, provided you give it a valid update command, it saves all this hassle....there are a few exampl ...Show All
Visual Studio Release build using MSBuild
Hello, I have just started using msbuild for building my projects and I was wondering how to create a 'Release' build. I have a bunch of WinForm C# csproj(s) in a VS2005 sln and when I use msbuild as msbuild C:\myFolder \ mySolution .sln it works fine and creates a Debug build When I try to make a Release build using msbuild C:\myFolder\mySolution.sln /p:Configuration=Release , it goes ahead and makes a obj\Release folder and puts the binaries in it. However, it also creates PDB files along with the DLLs. So I am guessing that it still makes a Debug version of the DLLs. Can someone please help me with this Thanks, Satya If you haven't changed ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SQLMetal / visual editor - connecting to remote server
I’m unable to find any examples for sqlmetal where it connects to a remote SQL 2k5 server over TCP/IP. What is the syntax for the ”/server:” option for this work Also, what rights are required for the sqlmetal/visual editor to work Currently I have a SQL 2k5 database where the user is mapped to the ”db_datareader”, ”db_datawriter” and ”public” roles. But the visual editor doesn’t work with this. If I add the user to the ”sysadmin” role on the SQL 2k5 server, it works. But this is not a solution for me. So what tables and accessrights are required for the SQLmetal/visual editor to work On the same note, what rights are required for the runtime to work. When we deploy this to a production server, I would like t ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Start Date field in Task work item
Hi, It's look like we can't fill the Start Date field in Task work item (Agile Template). The field is grey. Is it a well known bug or we are doing something wrong Thanks Michael Hello Michael, This is by design in the out of box process templates. If you download the template and look at the WorkItem Tracking/TypeDefinitions/task.xml, you will find: <Control Type="FieldControl" FieldName="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StartDate" Label="Start Dat&e:" LabelPosition="Left" ReadOnly="True"/> The Start and Finish Date fields were designed to be editted/filled using Office integration apps such as Excel or Project and hence are marked ReadOnly for the IDE.

SQL Server How to align the text in justify format with SQL Server Reporting Services?
How to align the text in justify format In SQL server Reporting Services Is there any code to do so Hi, I'm afraid that if you want to have this kind of functionality, you will need to write a custom control. Here is an example: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345265.aspx . The issue with custom controls is that it needs to be known by all the reportservers that will render your report.

SQL Server Local Cubes in SS2005, specifically for the dev team
Hi, A question on local cubes... If I'm right in saying that if you use the CREATE CUBE statement to create a local cube using the MSOLAP.3 provider, that under the hood you will in fact still be using the MSOLAP.2 provider and hence creating AS2K local cubes, how will this tally with mainstream support for AS2K ending in 2008 Will these form of local cube cease to be supported at that time regards Colin Well I'm basing my assumption on the information in MDX Solutions, chapter 17, which in turn was based on information obtained directly from the development team As I understand it, when the connection is made to the empty .cub file and the MSOLAP.3 provider sees the syntax CREATE CUBE and ...Show All
