• Visual Studio Team System Adding a previously deleted directory

  Hi, We've come up with an interesting issue with TFS that I'm hoping to find a workaround for. We had a directory named 'Core' (with a number of sub directories) in source control which was deleted. Sometime after this a directory with the same name, and existing at the same position in the directory structure, was added rather than undeleting the old directory. This has caused the old deleted directory and previous structure to not be viewable in Source Control Explorer - the only way to view them is by syncing back to a change before 'Core' was readded. This causes a number of problems, such as not being able to undelete the old structure (due to the existance of the new directory) and not being able to view the old source without pri ...Show All

• Visual Basic New row in datagrid: Old values are overwritten instead of a new row appears

  First post from a not so experienced VS.NET/VB programmer I am writing a short piece of code that allows users of the program to enter some data in textboxes and then by clicking on a button, allow them to add the information they put in the textboxes to a datagrid. The first time they press this button, it shows perfectly in the datagrid on the form, but the 2nd time it only updates the first row instead of adding a new row. By doing some searches on Google, I found out that I am not using the right code, but I can't find how to do it correctly. I hope to get an answer here. Below you see the code I am using currently, I wanted to attach an image to show the screen of the application, but obviously as a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Filegroups

  I am receiving this error when using the project "deploy" option. Error 1 Msg 5035, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Filegroup 'ppf_table' already exists in this database. When I use the "build" option, this error does not occur. This file group does indeed exist in the target database. What I can't figure out is why it attempts to create it given I am using the "update deploy" option. I tried removing the file group items from my project in the solution explorer. This caused all of them to be removed (temporarily) from the schema view except for this one. No difference. When I tried to generate a change script via schema repair, the script created was fine - it did not include an attempt to recreate t ...Show All

• SQL Server FlushFailure

  Without going into plumbing metahores, I would like to know why a SQL Ev SqlCeConnection FlushFailure is fired. So what's a background flush I've been told that when SSEv is told to close the last collection, it cleans up the database, completes (or rolls back) transactions and does other housekeeping. If this process fails, the engine fires a "FlusFailure" event. ...Show All

• SQL Server Copy & paste of custom task loses internal property settings

  We have a built a custom control flow task that we use frequently. It has a simple user interface form where we can set certain properties. Problem is, after I configure it once and then copy and paste it all of the internal property settings seem to be lost on the newly pasted task. When I open up the editor for the task all of the properties are displayed visually in the editor form, but the properties pane is empty. How can this be corrected I'm wondering if this is a SSIS bug or if the custom task needs some code to either prevent this situation or finish off the setting of internal properties Has anyone else created a custom task with a UI form that they can copy\paste without losing custom int ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems implementing a skybox

  Perhaps somebody with more experience could help me. I want to implement the skybox example from the DirectX SDK (Samples/C++/Direct3D/StateManager) and I've copied and renamed the following files (skybox01.x, skybox02.dds and skybox03.fx) to my project folder and have added them to the content pipeline. But I don't get it managed to load the skybox with her texture and set the camera to the center of the box, I think because I don't know how to handle the effects of the *.fx file and how to transform the box correct. (I'm new to XNA and I only have tried out the simple 3D examples with BasicEffects from the help files so far.) So if somebody has the time to show me how to handle these files correctly, I would be very glad. (You c ...Show All

• SQL Server MCTS Exam 70-431 Database Administration Study Documementation and Samples ?

• Visual Studio Express Editions Webbrowser Control with Loading Bar

  This is a relatively simple question, I suppose, but I have searched for a week across the internet and haven't found an answer nor source code that contains a webbrowser control with a loading bar, such as Firefox, IE, and other popular browsers have.
