• Visual Studio Team System Does anyone know how to link bugs in VS2005 to MS Projects?

  It seems that "tasks" are linked to MS project but "bugs" are not. What the trick Thanks! You can customize work item type definition for bugs to include fields for remaining work, completed work, start date, and finish date that are referenced in the WIT Task. Once you do that you should be able to track time estimates for bugs in project assuming that you have these fields mapped in the project for tasks (otherwise you will have to update the field mapping). Hope it helps! -Mohammad ...Show All

• Visual Basic Opacity Decreasing...

  Hello, I've been trying to write code so that when the MouseLeave is triggered, the form's opacity decreases by 0.01 until it reaches 0.75. However, I found out through Debug.WriteLine() that even if the opacity is 0.75, it still continues until it reaches 0; also, I noticed in Debug.WriteLine() that if you subtract 0.01 from the form's opacity, you get inaccurate values, like 39.999999999. Why does this happen, and how can I correct it Thanks. Here's the relevenat codes: In TimerDecreasing in Tick event: me.opacity = me.opacity - 0.01 if me.opacity = 0.75 timerdecreasing.enabled = false endif Try this: In TimerDecreasing in Tick event: me.opacity = me.opacity - 0.01 if me.opacity < 0.75 timer ...Show All

• SQL Server Access2000 Database(table) replicated to SQL 2000/2003 server

  I'm trying to replicate a table(s) in access 2000 to MS SQL server 2000/2005 programatically on a timed instance and then have these tables merged in SQL to create one table. Any guidance appreciated. Thank you, This isn't possible to do from MS SQL Server side using built-in Replication, Oracle is the only non-SQL Server database that can be published (in SQL Server 2005), you may want to post your question in an Access forum. ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS query results not correct

  Today I installed WDS 3.0 beta2. I had the same problem with v2.6.5 When I search for (for example) from:hp my results are not complete. (some mails with @hp.xxx in de fromaddress are not showed.) When I search for (for example) from:hp.com I've no results at all. A quote from the help: from:name , example from: jake Finds items with jake in either fromName OR fromAddress, since "from" is a property name for both fromName and fromAddress. It seems you can only search a complete word or a substring at the beginning of a word. A word (to search for) is separated by spaces, and only spaces !! (and thus not a '@' ) If the fromaddress is gdvl@rug.be , rug.be is not recognised as a word. I would li ...Show All

• Visual Basic Error Message that I can't resolve...

  I am fairly new to writing in VB and in reality it is actually my first true language that I am trying to learn. I am currently writing a small application for where I work that will be used internally by only a couple of people. The purpose of this project is to record and maintain records for troubleshooting calls. This is in essence a CYA (cover your *ss) ploy that also helps us maintain with compliance rules. So essentially what I did was create a small program that would refernce back to a database out on one of our servers. This was supposed to be something that I assumed would be very easy, and at first it did seem to be working properly. Now I have run into a problem that I do not have a solution for. The following is the error I g ...Show All

• SQL Server Load Ordering for Dimension and Fact tables

  Hi , I have situation where I get data from SRC Flat file and have to load Dimensional table and also fact table, using same data flow(have no other choice since I have to unpivot some src data). Since I have to load both tables in same data flow, I have to have a way to put load ordering constraint (I know informatica allows that). Does any one have any idea on how this can be done in SSIS I would be really grateful. Thanks The SSIS package designer contains a Control Flow tab and a Data Flow Tab. On the Control Flow tab, you would create two Data Flow tasks linked by a precedence constraint. The first task would load the dimension data and the second would load the fact data only if the first task succeeds or completes dep ...Show All

• Visual C# BeginInvoke and resource leaks

  From Jeffrey Richter's "CLR via C#": "You must call Endxxx or you will leak resources. CLR allocates some internal resources when you initiate asynchronous operation. If Endxxx is never called, these resources will be reclaimed only when the process terminates." This is written about functions like BeginRead and EndRead. Is this correct also for delegates For example: public delegate void SomeDelegate; ... SomeDelegate someDelegate; ... someDelegate += subscription; ... someDelegate->BeginInvoke(); If I never call someDelegate->EndInvoke, does this create resource leak, as written in the book According to Richter, the only Beginxxx function which doesn't require Endxxx is Control.BeginInvoke. I can use Control.BeginInvoke ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting error context from executed package

  Background: I am executing a package programmatically from ASP.NET using C#. The package is being loaded from SQL Server at runtime and then it is executed from a custom class written in C#. Problem: When a task fails, I'd like information on why it failed. I read about implemeting the IDTSEvents interface as a way to have my package call back to code. This works fine (I have code in the OnTaskFailed event handler), but I'm not sure how to find out why a task failed. Since my task is loading a flat file to SQL Server, failure will likely come in one of two flavors: either the file format will be wrong or the data will violate a database constraint. In etiher case, I'd like that feedback. I am looking that the TaskHost object that ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using Resources

  Hi I have a solution with two projects : 1) Smartphone 2005 project (s_ui) 2) Pocket PC wm 5.0 project (p_ui) Project 2 (p_ui) has a usercontrol which is to be added in a form in s_ui. This Usercontrol (usrLogin) has to be multiple languages depending on the culture info on the device. It should detect if the device is using "Danish" da-DK or english. So I have made to resource files (resx) in the p_ui project, one named Resources.resx and the danish one called Resources.da-DK.resx. The two files contains the values "Test" - "Hello" and for the danish "Test" - "Hej". When the control is added in a s_ui project form, the resources does not change for my string. But if I make the two ...Show All
