• Commerce Server Accessing Addresses in Total pipeline

  I'm trying to write a custom pipeline component, I've read all of Max's posts on everything I could possibly want to know about pipelines. I'm starting from the MinMaxShipping SDK example and am running into a problem. Basically what I want to do is assess at the Tax stage whether the billing address is in the same state, and if so apply a standard state tax rate to the entire order. I finally have been able to access an address ID, but the Addresses IDictionary (setup in the OrderPipelineMappings.xml) always has Count of 0. I had considered getting the address and putting it in the context, but the pipeline is being called from the BasketHelper.RunTotalPipeline() method and I am not certain (A) whether this method is doing anything else ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot get CREATE LOGIN from a Windows group to work

  I have created a database fronted by an ASP.Net application. It's all nice and simple, and I only need a very simple level of security (and even that is only as a protection against accidents rather than maliciousness). My intention is that users connect using Windows impersonation (<identity="true">), with the database creator having full access and the public group (I'm talking SQL groups here) having specific premissions granted on specific tables. If I set <identity="false"> on my XP box the application connects to the database as [MACHINE\ASPNET]. This is easy to set up access for - I simply do a CREATE LOGIN [MACHINE\ASPNET] FROM WINDOWS and then within the actual database do a CREATE USER [MACHINE\AS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Feature Request - Schema Compare

  One nice feature would be "Next Difference" and "Previous Difference" buttons (and associated hotkeys) to quickly jump through differences. This is a pretty common feature in File Comparison utilities (such as ExamDiff). This would be extremely helpful when you are comparing extremely long stored procedures, objects, etc. I see. Your suggestion applies to Object Definition window. Good suggestion. I will bring it to the attention of other people. Thanks Sachin ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compatibility with VC++ 6.0

  using when code written in VC6.0 in VC 2005 express changes the workspace files After the changes are applied will the project be fine in vc 6.0 That depends... The project file (.vcproj) that Visual C++ Express uses is incompatible with the workspace and project file format uses in VC6, so any changes you make to the project itself in VC++ Express will be incompatible with VC6. Aside from not trying to do this... would be to manually make changes on either side... or use a converter. When it comes to a converter I’m afraid that I have yet to see one that can go between VC6 and 2005... most simply work between 7.0 and 7.1. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Tests - Test generation settings

  How customizable is the 'Naming settings' in the  'Test Generation Settings' dialog of Visual Studio Team Test edition for creating tests    For e.g. the default naming setting for a method name in Team test's test creation wizard is [Method]Test.  I however want to name the method test for a method that takes in 2 int parameters as [Method]Test_Int_Int and a different method with the same name that takes in a double, and an int param as [Method]Test_Double_Int. The default naming generates [Method]Test and [Method]Test1 as test names in this case.
