• Visual Studio Team System Cannot connect to sites web service for team foundation

  When right clicking on my team project the 'Show Project Portal link is grayed out'. I have tried to access it through 'http://tfsserver/sites' url but recieve this error: HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. Internet Information Services (IIS) I do have administrative rights for tfs so I don't believe it is a permission issue. It was working previously after I first installed vsts but during the process of getting everything configured for the team I somehow screwed it up along the way and it is no longer accessible. Thanks Joe, I downloaded the TFS Admin Tool, but when I select the project, I recieve this error: Unhandled exception has occured in your applicaiton. If you click Continu ...Show All

• Windows Forms tableadapter + connection pooling + corrupt connections in pool

  Hi, let's say we have plenty of table adapters in application and connection pool corrupts pretty often. How nice and elegant with minimal rewriting make those table adapters work without exceptions using this (or if you get the point of the problem and know better one) solution (idea in pseudo code): try { fill datatable using adapter with plenty of usrfull data } catch { looks like our connection pool has corrupten connections, let's clear it try to use table adapter to fill datatable once again } Hi It seems that you are using Asp.Net. Maybe someone has a better answer on the ASP.Net Data Access forums . I 've used this setup several times and i have never had any problems. Are you using st ...Show All

• SQL Server Reading a variable in a script taks used as source

  Hi, I'm using a script task as source and I need to read a global variable. I tried stuff I found on the internet, but they all use Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead(varName) This gives an errero on 'Dts.' saying it can not resolve it. If you'd like, you can predict what variable you'd like to read or write to, you can use the ReadOnlyVariable or ReadWriteVariable properties to pass in the variable to your script. At that point, you won't need the variable dispenser. Then, you could read the variable by using code as easy as this: LocalVariable = DTS.Variables("VariableName").Value This video may help you as well: http://www.jumpstarttv.com/Media.aspx vid=6 -- Brian Knight ...Show All

• .NET Development Network Stream Read Progessive Slow Down Issue

  I have an issue with reading a byte stream from a NetworkStream created from a TcpClient. The client application is sending and recieving information from the server app, however as each communication occurs, the time needed to read the first byte from the server slows down exponentially. I have used a loop that continues checking the NetworkStream object's DataAvailable property, and that is where the slow down is occuring; it takes longer and longer for the stream to become available. The server app does not have any slowing to its code causing this error. It loads an .net XmlDocment object and saves it to the network stream, and then writes a 0 byte to the stream. The time growth is exponential, which leads me to believe it has someth ...Show All

• Visual Basic Input Data into DB from Windows forms

  Hi there, I have tons of simple troubles here. Simply, because I can't get the data on the textboxes control to feed my data base. I am developing a simple program on VB.NET 2003, using SQL Server 2000 as my database manager. As far as I understand I just have to bound the boxes to the SQLDataAdapter through the dataset. Next I just have to execute the update method of the SQLDataAdapter and there it should work. Now I know for a fact that this works perfectly if I use DataGrid, no problem there. However when I get to the TextBox. Nothing happens, I've tried other methods. Using the properties of DataTable too, the program has trouble with object. I tried to assign values to the parameter generated by the adapter through some of the events ...Show All

• SQL Server Install SSRS on different IIS server??

  I am trying to keep my production SQL server very pure, and would like to install the SSRS IIS portion on my production IIS server. 1. Does this make sense to decouple the locations (keeping the servers dedicated to a single function) 2. Will MS let me do it I was thinking that I could install just the SSRS portion on the IIS box, but am looking to see if anyone else has experience with this. If I'll be bucking this decision forever... let me know your thoughts... Thanks! Dan I'll answer this myself from most recent experience....

• .NET Development XML - DataSet 101 Please

  I'm just starting up a project that really is suitable for a little XML datastore. I'm familiar with SQL Server from VB & VBscript. But this project is only my second in C#. I'm using Express. Although the help file mentions adding an XML Schema to the project that isn't actually available in the IDE. I looked through the documentation but can't find anything connecting XML to a DataSet. So herewith some questions: Is it necessary to have an XML file initially or can a design time datatable be sufficient If I have an XML file, how to I get it connected to some kind of data access scheme in C# Can I treat it roughly as I might a dataset from a database or must I access it via the XML DOM A pointer to a tutorial wou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how did u learn to program with C#?

  well title says it all, with what, what was your first program or so maybe too :) cos atm i want to try and program things i totally cant, so im wondering how u learned C# HI, If your quite new to pragramming, understand the basics of programming. Its the foundations of your learning that would help you understand how to approach a problem in programming... For me, my first program in C# was to create a Password Manager. It enabled me to learn ADO.Net and other stuff from C# that would let you understand how C# works... So I suggest to let yourself have to finish a single program. You choose it, make a program that might be usable with your friends. With that you would be learning things in th ...Show All
