• Visual Studio Team System Unable to connect to Team Foundation Server

  I seem to be having an intermittent issue connecting to Team Foundation Server. At any one time, I may have a few systems that cannot connect, but others that connect ok. The error I see in Visual Studio is "TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server Url: http://vstfs:8080 ." The server is online. My password is not expired or incorrect. I tried connecting to http://vstfs:8080/services/v1.0/ServerStatus.asmx as I saw suggested on another topic related to this. On one of my systems this works, but on the other one I get the following response. The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.

• .NET Development I use VB 2005 express and can not connect to SQL server 2005 express on another PC

  When I go to "View, Data Connections" on the menu, it only let me to add 2 types of connections: access and sql server files. But I cannot browse sql servers on my network. The question is: is it possible to have a data connection to a sql server running in another PC (I have actually a server running an instance of sql server 2005 express). Ruben: I'm trying to confirm but I don't believe it will let you use the visual tools to connect to a sql server on the network. Previous versions of VS.NET wouldn't. However you can still connect with Sqlclient - you just couldn't use the visual tools. I believe it's the same here but let me confirm. ...Show All

• Visual C# read/write datetime from/to C#

  Hello everybody How to read/write 'datetime' type from SQL Server to C# Thanks The best way is to send it or read it as DateTime value type: When you insert value in some statement or as parameter in stored procedure here is an example: cmd.Paramateres.Add("@MyDate", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = dateVariable; when reading from SqlDataReader then you will read this way: dateVariable = myDataReader.GetDateTime(myDataReader.GetOrdinal("MyDate")); ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to utiliize alpha blending with loaded ModelMesh object?

  Ok, so I'm loading a .X file I created with 3dsmax and am rendering it with the mesh.Draw(); command (and others.) Everything seems to work fine but I can't get alpha blending to work on textures that should have alpha textures. For example, I have a cylinder with a gradient texture applied to the opacity channel and the diffuse channel in max. When I render it in XNA it shows up as solid and not translucent from top to bottom as it does in max. Can someone point me to how to display the alpha textures appropriately in the model draw routine Here is the routine I use to draw the model: protected void DrawModel(Model ModelToDraw, Vector3 trans, Vector3 rot, Vector3 scale) { //Copy any parent transforms Matrix[] transforms = ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why doesn't ActivityTrackingRecord.ContextGuid match any context guids in the rootactivity?

  In my system, I need to track additional information about a workflow. I implemented a custom tracking service so when the a new activity tracking record is sent, I can inspect the activity type and determine what additional information can be tracked. My problem is finding the correct activity instance associated with the tracking record. When I try to find the instance based on the root activity, the qualified name, and context guid, I get nothing. The reason for this is the ContextGuid passed into the ActivityTrackingRecord does not match any guids returned from the Activity.ActivityContextGuid dependency property. I am using a simple sequential workflow. Any idea why this is Yes, that's correct (I ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems installing Reporting Services

  Hi Folks, I want to download Reporting Services for SQL Server Express Edition but I can't find it. It seems to be in Analysis Services but when I run SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE I don't find any mention of Reporting Services. I get to the final options choice which offers me 'Database Services' and 'Client Components' but neither of these mentions Reporting Services. I have installed BI Studio successfully. I'd be grateful for any and all suggestions. Thanks a lot. Barry You obtain "Reporting Services", you have to download and install SQL Server Express Advanced Services.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Server 2003 COM+ 1.5 Hotfix Rollup Package 11 - Questions

  I apologize if this is not the forum to post this question in. If it should be posted somewhere else, please let me know. KB 927673 references an available Hotfix Rollup for COM+. There are at least 11 fixes for behaviors we have seen under high load using System.Transactions. However, we want to have as much information on deploying the Rollup as possible before we open a case to get it. Is this Rollup cluster-aware Or will we have to rebuild the clusters we would apply this to Can this Rollup be uninstalled Does this Rollup apply to Server 2003 R2 (which includes SP1) Does this Rollup need to be applied to all 2003 servers participating in DTC transactions (i.e. 2003 web servers that are DTC clients) Would we needs to apply the la ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Can't read MAPI Message text from failure delivery notification messages

  I'm trying to debug a VB 6 application that processes received messages automatically. With most failure delivery notifications the text for the body or htmltext comes empty in the messages properties even though, when I open the message from outlook, it looks ok. I'm using a mapi.message object to read the messages. I've searched the whole messages' fields to find the body text but I haven't been able to do it.

  Hello, When me or my users try to print from the Windows Forms ReportViewer control to a specific printer (using PCL), the following error appears in the ReportViewerControl client area: Attempted to read or write protected memory.

• Visual Basic Sigh - I remember one-based.

  Well, I know this is nothing new, but: What's with this zero-based (nearly) everything For i = 1 to Thingy.Count or For i = 0 to Thingy.Count -1 It is simply not true that the first element of anything in the universe is ZERO. It is not common-sense thinking. "How many items do you have in your hand " "One" "Show me the first item" "Error, you should have asked for the zero-th item" ha ha ha I would like to request that two versions of the .Net Framework be made available. One for those who love zero, and another one for those who love one. You stand two hopes of a two versions of the framework, one for zero and one of one. Bo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Events and Delegates in Forms

  I have a main form and a child form which I communicate through public methods. For example: frmMain ... frmChild frm = new frmChild(); ... frm.MoveNext(); The child window will obviously have a public method MoveNext. frmChild also implements an Interface class. What I now want to do is when data in the child window is saved to communicate this back to the parent, but I want to use an event. I can get events working and hooked-up in classes but I can't get them to work between forms, except when I am hooking up to form events like: parentForm.FormClosed += new Forms.FormClosedEventHandler(ParentForm_FormClosed); I want to do the above but with my own event in the parent called DataSaved. How can I do this ...Show All
