• SQL Server semi invisible hyperlink server name

  Hi I have PDFs that are embedded in Internal server. In my report, I want to create hyperlinks to these PDF. However, how do you make it so that when the PDFs are displayed in a browser, the viewer don't get to see the address of where these PDFs are stored This is so that the viewer don't get to see our company's server address where there are lots of sensitive documents and information. Can I make it so that a fake or symbolic address of those PDFs show up Any suggestion Thank you very much in advance ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Continuous Integration builds not wanted in WorkItems Details

  Hi, I finally managed to setup the contiuous integration build for our new TFS system. As expected I have about 20 builds per day, and the problem is: they all show up in the WorkItems->Details->FoundInBuild and WorkItems->Details->ResolvedInBuild dropdown lists. After two days I have about 40 builds in the lists, not very funny. The continuous builds are not associated with any items, I included a SkipWorkItemCreation tag in the build definition. But as contiuous builds produce lots of entries in this lists I don't want them in the dropdowns. We have release builds that are different from the continuous builds and they should show up here, nothing else. Any properties I have to set or tasks I have to define/overwrite ...Show All

• Commerce Server Basic Pipeline Questions

  I'm totally new to pipelines and I've read the documentation, but I have a couple of basic questions that aren't answered that would help point me in the proper direction. Say I have a custom product property indicating whether a product is active or not... and I am currently running the Basket pipeline whenever the user brings up his/her basketed order.

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi everyone, I'm posting about a problem that has been addressed in the past, but the pure wealth of options and acronyms posted confused me. I'm a new Masters student, and I'm used to developing all my projects under a Linux environment. As such, I'm very new to developing applications using VS. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (not Express) and developing in C++. I'm developing an OpenGL program, and the template I used to set it up uses Managed C++. All I want to do is develop an application executable that can be run on machines that don't have VS2005 installed. I don't want to force my supervisors to install VS2005 to simply run my various applications. I've built a debug version, found the executable in the program directory, and it runs ...Show All

So, how can I enable same behavior on 2nd desktop as the default one - IE c ...Show All
