• Visual Studio Team System Team Build over HTTP?

  Coders, I have set up my instance of TFS to be available over HTTP and this pretty much works okay. I was wondering if I could set-up an Team Build server and invoke Team Builds on this machine over HTTP from the main TFS server (as in HTTP across the internet as the two machines are on seperate networks). I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm guessing there may be issues with the credentials specified to execute the build. Can someone clarify Cheers, Callum General support of the internet access issue and dealing with the Windows credential problem (TFS only v1 only supports NTLM, which doesn't work well over the internet) will be in SP1. See the Extranet Support in the following blog ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to disable JIT Debugger?

  The JIT Debugger popping up every time something crashed was causing me a lot of annoyance and also system stability issues, so I tried to disable it with the options menu in VS2005, but now when a program crashes, an unhandled exception window occurs saying there was an unhandled exception because JIT Debugger was unable to handle the unhandled exception because it's disabled, or some ridiculous thing like that. Of course it can't start when it's disabled, it shouldn't give me an error message about this.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Persisted Workflow Instance - Check Current State Name

  Dear all, By default, my "Claim Submission" host application sets to unload any idled workflows, and I double checked that the workflowruntime.getloadedworkflows.count = 0. Then I need to design another host for the manager to "Approve" or "Reject" the claim. I tried to use the PersistenceService.GetAllWorkflows function to retrieve all the persisted workflows instance (outstanding workflow) from the database so that the manager can choose from. According to my logic, only instances which are waiting for approval will be shown, so I tried to get the latest status (CurrenctStateName) of each of the workflows with the StateMachineWorkflowInstance: StateInstance = New StateMachineWorkflowInstance(Wor ...Show All

• SQL Server Exporting table structures to another database

  We have databases with large numbers of tables. We have a separate database for each year. For various reasons, we need to export about 100 of the tables (Structure only, not their data) from last years database into this year's database. What is the best method for doing this The import/export wizard creates the tables but does not bring in important things like keys. Regards Shirley A hi Shirley, if you are using sql server 2000. you can use the enterprise manager. you can right click the database click on "all task" and then click on "generate Sql scripts" then clcik on options. click on the objects you need such as PKs, triggers and foreign keys"   for Sql server 2005 you can use the Management st ...Show All

• Commerce Server Migration from CS2002 - 2007 Help

  Our current client has a production CS2002 environment and we have a blank CS installation on a new box that will replace the existing prod server. I'd like to use the migration tool to handle all of the data conversion stuff, but it seems like you need to install CS2007 on the box you plan to upgrade in order for that tool to run. Ideally I would like to copy what they have on the prod server into our new environment without upgrading their production installation directly to 2k7 (for obvious reasons, we don't have the backend stuff done yet, and I would anticipate thousands of headaches stemming from such a move). I have been reading the Commerce Server 2007 Migration guide and it's full of good information, but I'm not really sure how ...Show All

• Visual Studio IronPython will not run after installing September SDK RTM 3

• SQL Server How to use TSQL to monitor replication status

  To monitor the status of replication in SQL 2000 we insert the resuts of sp_MShelp_replication_status into a temp table and review the status. In SQL 2005 this stored procedure has changed and now does it's own insert into execute command. Since insert execute commands can not be nested we must find another way to programically monitor replication using TSQL. We could call s ys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisherhelper but we can't seem to find it in the distribution database. It must be hidden somehow. Any ideas Thanks, Danny Thanks. I'll look at using openrowset. sys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisher checks for access and database name. The it calls sys.sp_replmonitorhelppublisherhelper as shown below. This system stored procedure or ex ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView, KeyDown Event

  Hi, It seems as the KeyDown event only fires when a column, row, or a combination is highlighted. This does not include the case when a cell edit session is in progress, in which the event does not fire. Any event to capture the keyboard entries while the cell edit mode is on going. Regards, Reza Bemanian Sorry, Reza, but I didnt understand the problem. If you wanted to say that EditingControl.Text property is not the same as the cell content, then it is due to the KeyDown event, last keyboard entry wasnt added to the EditingControl Text property. Try using KeyUp event instead. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Install SP1

  On a Windows Server 2003 machine with Team Suite installed (and the previous beta version of SP1) I tried to install the newly released SP1 but I got this message: "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." What's wrong I wonder Thank you, Sammy Follow up: I couldn't get the SP1 patch process to start until I had removed all of the service pack 1 updates from the various 2005 installs AND removed the 2005 Premier Partner Edition completely (I believe this was installed in conjunction with some of the SQL Server 2005 pieces, such as Reporting Services). ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums IE7 Crashes

  Hey is anybody else getting errors with IE7 and VE For me it has started in the last 3 days and appears to be while downloading: http://local.live.com/i/bin/1.3.0908172755.52/ero/breakLeft.gif John. Jason, there is no known issue with Virtual Earth and IE7 that would directly cause this. What else is happening on your page Are you disposing the map and detaching all your events on page unload This was a while ago for me and the problem came down to making way too many ajax calls, I was requesting data everytime the map was moved, I put in code to ensure that only the latest data request was made so only one request can be made at a time (throttle). My suggestion is to try to setup a way to replicate your issue. Then ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Difference between Invalidate() and Refresh

  Hi all, I have a Form in which I have overriden the OnPaint() method to place my own background on there, and when the Form resizes (from Portrait to landscape, and vice versa) I want to be able to redraw the form, so which is best, Refreshing the Form, or using Invalidate() (which, if I am correct, causes a redraw ) Thanks Hi Both methods do cause a redraw. The only difference is whether this happens synchronously or async. Control.Invalidate (): basically instruct the OS to redraw the contol. This does not happen immediatly. Control.Refresh (). forces an immediate redraw of the control (and its children) In your case Invalidate () should be fine. Michael ...Show All
