• Visual C# How to: create an enumeration user setting

  Hi, Is it possible to store a custom enumeration directly as a user setting This would result in a user setting having the enumeration as type, a s opposed to using a string or integer type.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Centering WPF Window over a Win32 owner

  Hello all, I'm attempting to center a WPF window over an HWND. I figure this would be fairly straight forward. Using XAML I set WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner". Then using WindowInteropHelper I set the WPF window owner to my hwnd (obtained by AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd) then launch the window using ShowDialog. This does not achieve the desired result. The window is not centered over my main app window, however it is displayed on the correct screen (dual display environment) where prior it was not. Any ideas why this behavior If I cannot get this method to work then I'll simply pass in the center of my main app window in screen coordinates and work from there. Thanks, Jamie The solution I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot overwrite current docs on Team Portal

  The original posting of the doc/pdf etc. works fine. When I have to update the document in Word, convert to pdf and upload to TF project portal, the new document does not overwrite the old one. The only way I can accomplish this is to rename the updated document then upload under a new file name. This sounds like a bug to me... Can this be fixed This workaround gets tedious. Thanks, ClaireS Hi Clair, I haven't heard of this problem before, so let me fully understand what is happening. 1. You create a new document in Word and upload it to the team portal. 2. In the Team Explorer's 'Documents' node, you locate this document and double-click it. 3. You modify the document and then try to save it and it fails. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare Problem #6

  I just did a schema compare where the source is a database and the target is my project. There should have been one difference detected (in a stored proc that needed to be updated in my project). However, the schema compare did not detect this difference. After a bit of snooping I think I've discovered the following: When a schema compare is done and the target is a project, the compare does not compare the actual source files in the project but uses the design time database. In theory, the design time database should match exactly the source files in the project. However, somehow, in my case, this isn't true. I have a stored proc in my project that is older than the version in the design time database. My questions are this. ...Show All

• Visual Basic how can I tell how much memory my app is using?

  Hi folks, Waffle ==== I have an app which uses a 3rd party API which isn't very well written as it DLs data from a remote server, and the data held locally continually increases throughout the day. It seems that to store 10mb of data, the app is using 100mb of memory! I have a routine to close the app and re-start it every n hours, but I want it to be smarter than this. Question ====== How can I check how much memory my app is consuming. i.e. When I go to the TaskManager, I can see my process.Mem Usage=88,234 K. This is the figure I want to get. Does My.Application.Info.WorkingSet give me this thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server CREATE ENDPOINT failing with no errors

  I'm hoping someone can shed light on a problem. I'm running SQL under a service account on a Windows 2003 R2 SP1 machine. The machine is also a domain controller. When creating an end point I get back a success message and can view the endpoints in sys.http_endpoints. However, when using httpcfg query urlacl there are no end points registered with http.sys. Using IE to try and access the /SQL wsdl returns a 404. There is nothing in the event log or the sql logs about any failure. The same TSQL code works fine on a development server. I've added the code below but am guessing its a permissions problem. I've followed the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms184379.aspx including SPN registration for the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System code is being ignored by the Code Analyser.

• SQL Server Agent Job logs on using Default User Profile

  Hi, I get a strange problem whereby I have set up a Sql Server Agent job to run as a particular user. The job needs to access details from the users local profile. The job fails to access the correct user profile when it logs in, and utilises the 'Default User' profile. This happens for scheduled jobs when the actual user used to run the job as is not logged into the machine where the Sql Server instance lives. If, however, the user IS logged in at the time of job execution, the correct profile is loaded. I can see this happening by simplying executing an OS command that kicks of a batch file with something like the following: echo %USERPROFILE% whoami When the user is logged in I see the results a ...Show All
