• Visual Studio Team System How to segregate multiple TeamBuild projects?

  We are currently at a certain version (1.2) and have multiple solutions, all which need to be built separately. So I have a separate TeamBuild for each. But once we move to next version I will have to recreate the TeamBuild project files for each of these solutions. The TeamBuilds node in Team Explorer will be extremely cluttered with all these projects. Is there any way to create a folder beneath the 'Team Builds' node in Team Explorer so I can group my builds by version Also, how do I delete an existing TeamBuild project TIA! Hi DQM - Just to get more context into your scenario: 1. Why do you need to build each of the solutions separately Can we build these together but drop the binaries in separate folders 2.

• Visual C# Why BindingList is there

  Why BindingList<> is being placed in System.ComponentModel instead of System.Collections.Generic while List<> is in System.Collections.Generic To expand on that, if BindingList were in System.Collections.Generic, that would probably encourage people to use it in inappropriate scenarios. Its databinding support has overheads, and is something you don't want in an awful lot of cases. It's not part of ordinary collection class behaviour. So it's in a different namespace to emphasize the fact that it's not for everyday collection usage. ...Show All

• .NET Development Writing a hex value to a stream

  Hello Everyone, I am trying to hex value to a stream. What is the easiest way of doing it I tried the following and a lot more but some reason I can not get it to work BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(fs); bw.Write("\uc080"); I want the c080 to appear exactly i.e it should be 0xc0 0x80. But the value seems to be getting converted to the dec value. So what would be the best way of doing this Thanks in advance Or this, if you don't want to risk encoding problems: FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\test.bin", FileMode.Create); fs.Write(BitConverter.GetBytes(0xC080), 0, 2); fs.Close(); Beware that output is little-endian so 0x80 appears first in the file... ...Show All

• SQL Server Temporary Table

  Dear all, I have two store procedures,sp1 and sp2 sp1 : some codes here SELECT * INTO ##A FROM ATABLE sp2 : some codes here SELECT * FROM BTABLE LEFT JOIN ##A ON BTABLE.a= ##A.b I use vb.net to call sp1 first and fill the data to dataset,then call sp2 and fill the data to dataset. So you find that sp2 is left join to ##A. ##A is a result from sp1. If I run sp1 first,sp1 can provide the data to dataset(VB.NET) and sp2. It can improve the perfermance. So I can not use local temporary table #A The problem is : When two or more users run the program at the same time. It give me an error message : ##A is exist at server. My question here : (1) I know ##A is a global variable. but users use differen ...Show All

• Architecture Finding bottle necks in Windows Server enviroment

  Hello, I am looking for information about finding bottle necks in our server enviroment. We have the basic system, where in DMZ level we have web-servers and inside controlled network we have application servers and database servers. System was designed to endure much less users than we currently have. And now we are trying to find the spots that make our system run slower. Any good pointers how to begin this task. I'd but my money on the database servers. Also the communication between servers could use fiber optics. So if you have your own experience or you know good material to read please inform me. There are many stategies for addressing bottlenecks in a system: From a development code perspective you can run profiling ...Show All
