• SharePoint Products and Technologies IE Crashes on view of Office document on SPS2003

  We've been running Sharepoint 2003 for a while and are beginning our migration from Office 2003 to Office 2007. We're consistently seeing IE crashes when attempting to open a document directly from a SharePoint document store. (Browse to the document list, click on a document and "kaBoom!" IE crashes with a kernel32.dll fault) I've seen this problem with the following configurations: Vista Business (RTM), IE7, Office 2007 WinXP, IE7, Office 2007 WinXP, IE6, Office2007 There's a similar thread on the Vista forum where one suggestion was to "remove Project 2003" (which only exists on one of the three above data points). Is anyone else running SPS2003 and Office 2007 Successfully Thanks in advance f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unanswered questions about a CTP 6 bug

  There is a bug in CTP6(fixed in CTP7 apparently) which means schema comparison does not update target files in a datadude project that are write-protected (e.g. they are under TFS source-control). I talked about this in these 2 threads: Bug (I think) on writing updates from Schema Compare Recovering from a CTP6 bug There are some unanswered questions on these threads that I'd appreciate answering please. What exactly is the fix Does it auto check-out the items for you or does it fail the whole process Either is more acceptable than the current behaviour. How can I recover from this situation in CTP6 Where is the information about what is in the design DB persisted And why is the design DB not recreated f ...Show All

• Visual Basic IDE annoyances

  While i absolutely love the new visual studio, there are a couple of things that drive me nuts!!! when i right click on a symbol in code (such as a variable or procedure name), i can choose "Definition" and jump to that location. unfortunately, the "Last Position" menu item (that was available in VB6) was removed so now i cannot jump back to where i was previously. when i want to save my file with a different name, i would normally choose "File->SaveAs". this has now been changed to include the file name, which i find to be reallly annoying, especially since i will not be using the same name. opening visual studio is really quick, but closing visual studio takes forever. opening the design (GUI) view takes forever. switch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Reporting Services - BUILTIN\Administrators not recognized (rsUnknownUserName)

  Hi all, We recently moved our Team Foundation Server from one server to another. Old server was an English Windows Server 2003, the new one is a French version. Because of this language difference, we are not able to change Reporting Services security parameters on the new server, we get this error : User or Group ‘BUILTIN\Administrators’ not recognized (rsUnknownUserName) I guess the reason is because the administrators group on the new server is named (in French) “Administrateurs” and ReportServer database keeps somewhere a reference to BUILTIN\Administrators, which was the name of admin group on the old server. Any idea on how to fix this As an ultime solution (i dont speak of a complete r ...Show All

• SQL Server Same DB, Different Performance on Different Servers

  Hi, We are doing response time testing on our application with SQL Server 2000 SP4. But it is found that a query have different performance on the same DB (restore from the same backup) in different servers. The execution plans are different on the 2 servers. Server A: the execution plan use parallelism with varying response time (from 3 sec to 64 sec). Server B: it is a single thread execution plan with faster response time (about 1 sec).

• Visual Studio Team System Best Practice for Adding a NOT NULL Column

  What's the recommended process for adding a NOT NULL column on an existing table controlled by Database Professional This may seem like a no brainer by editing the table script but follow the process all the way from the time the developer modifies the table script AND uses Write Updates to update the a schema. The Write Updates button will fail because the NOT NULL column cannot be inserted without a default value when the table already has data in it. Do we really have to put a bogus default value just to get the column added We ended up putting a bogus default value so Database Professional could apply updates as it normally does and we could create a SQL script for our DBA to apply the updates to other databases. We then coded a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Checking in Solution not including all files

  I'm using VS2005 Team Edition for Software Developers, and using TFS for version control. Often times when I do a check in at the solution level not all files get checked in. Some of the project files and some code files in the projects still show the "checked-out" checkmark symbol in my solution explorer. If I right click one of those files, There is no "check in." option on the menu. If I check it out, then check in, it works and the checkmark is replaced with the lock icon. I can't figure out any pattern to this, it just seems to be checking in some files and leaving others checked out. This is happening on some of my co-workers machines as well, and its creating a lot of confusion when we are developing as a t ...Show All

• SQL Server Using JumpTo - need to open in new window

  Hi there, I'm sucessfully using Jump To to invoke a child report. I'm even successfully passing multiple parameters through, using some split("S1000","S2000",",") type logic. So far, so good. Problem is this. I want this child report to open in a new window. This is becasue the parent report takes a while to run, and if I jump to the child report in the same window, when the users goes back to the parent report, it re-runs the parent report, which is really slow. If I can get the child report to open in a new window, then when the user wants to return to the parent report, it will still be open in the original window, and it won't run again. What I'd really, really like is a 'Open in new window' ra ...Show All

• Visual C++ The difference of user-defined dll and system dll ?

  I build a big project file by vc. and I use Dependency Walker to check all the dll which it depend. But I want to know which dll is user defined dll and which one is window system dll Please tell me the easy way to indentify the difference of them I apprecaite your help. So far ihave not noticed a direct way to understand a system dll and a dll that belongs to MFC library (or you have created). Both have native code and operating system does not seperates them. Obviously, you want to know what dll belongs to OS and so, you dont need to install it with program setup. There are three dlls that you can find in all the versions of windows and they are being used by the most (native) programs that runs on Windows: kernel3 ...Show All
