• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Trying to run unit tests on a WinCE 5.0 device gives deployment errors.

  Thanks to all the blogs and forum posts, I have managed to successfully: 1) Install a Virtual PC deployment of Orcas CTP (Jan 2007). 2) Connect to my WinCE 5.0 device from within VS9. 3) Create a simple app, deploy it and even debug it on the target. However... the whole reason for going through all this process was to see if I could get Unit Tests to run on the target successfully. I have been following Sriram Krishnan's blog post ( http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdteam/archive/2006/11/12/unit-testing-for-net-compact-framework.aspx ) at the very useful " Visual Studio For Devices " which covers the necessary steps for "Unit Testing for .Net Compact Framework". All seems to go to plan, until "Click on 'Run Checked Tests'&q ...Show All

• .NET Development ftp service

  Hi, I will be extremely grateful for any help with a task I have. I should implement (in .NET 2003) FTP service which should authorize clients and will run on a server. I have to admit that I know almoust nothing about this stuff. I should probably start 'Windows service' project in Visual studio and should implement some 'middle service application' which will wait for ftp client requests, will perform internal client check and if client validated successfuly, will pass the client request to the server. If we don't consider the authorization part, which is not difficult for me, can anybody give me a clue how to implement the 'middle service application' which passes the ftp requests to the server and returns the results back How diffi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Database

  Hi I need to connect to an SQL database that is on a remote server. How can i do this in vb 2005 express As shakalama stated VB Express ID Support for databases other than Access and SQL Express are not supported.  As SQL Express is designed to be a local database only and remote connections are not supported out the box for this then Add New Datasource is only going to present you with Microsoft Access File or Microsoft SQL Server Database File (SQL Express). That said - you can write your code to access any database that is supported - so you could write code to access as SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL etc.    But you are not going to get the IDE support from the designers and wizards.  &n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint Services and Frontpage Extensions

  I've been trying to setup TFS on a server that has been used for website development, testing and user demo. When we get to the WSS setup in the checklist and the actual install, it loudly complains about Frontpage extensions being installed. So, I uninstalled them and now none of the VS2005 clients can connect to the web projects. When we tried to reinstall Frontpage extensions it complained about port 80 being taken, so we tried using port 8080 for first WSS then Frontpage. Now everything is broke to hell and we're sweating the loss of all the websites. Is it even possible to setup TFS on the same box that is used for web site development & testing If not, what about using virtual server to host the TFS I'm not much on netw ...Show All
