• Visual Studio Visual Studio freezes

  I have Visual Studio.NET 2003 Professional. It was working just fine a couple of days back and all of a sudden the IDE has become so slow to start up. The logo comes and freezes for a about 6-7 minutes before it allows me to chose the project to open. After that everything else works just fine. I did a repair and a reinstall but the problem still exists. Please help. Thanks. You could download Process Monitor: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/processmonitor.mspx Set the filter to process devenv.exe then start monitoring in Process Monitor, start Visual Studio 2005 and when the splash screen disappears after that 5 minutes stop monitoring.

• Visual Studio Team System VS Team System needed??

  Hello, I work in a small shop with 2 true developers and 1 "DBA" person and soon adding another developer.

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to get the TFS user role from a custom control dll?

  I have a custom control that I would like to enable and disable a form control depending on the tfs user role. Windows roles are easy but not adequate. Does the tfs environment expose any technique to get its the user roles Mel, I looked more into it and realized my suggestion was incorrect - sorry about it. The service provider in SetSite only gives VS services. The GetService method from TeamFoundationServer class can give you the service. WorkItem object is provided to you in WorkItemDataSource property and you can access TFS object from there. If the workitem object is stored in m_workItem, please try m_workItem.Store.TeamFoundationServer.GetService(typeof(IGroupSecurityService)) (not 100% sure on syntax) ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to execute package programmatically with expression based tasks

  Hi, I am trying to programmatically execute a package that contains an Execute SQL Task component bound to a variable for its "SqlStatementSource" property (via an expression). The variable is of type String and contains a simple value of "SELECT 1". The Execute SQL Task contains an expression that sets the SqlStatementSource property to the value of this variable. The package runs fine when I execute it via dtexec or BIDS, but when I attempt to run it via the object model, I receive the following error message: The result of the expression ""@[User::Sql]"" on property "SqlStatementSource" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the pro ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Select Syntax problem in a Query

  Hi - i have a query setup that is held on a subform that displays all activities that have been logged by users.  there is a field called 'leadofficer' that displays the name of the user who logged the activity. Based on prior help from forum users I thought it would be easy enough to set criteria whereby the form, when opened would only show activity where the values in the 'leadofficer' field would equal the value of the user who has logged in - where the value of the user who has logged in is held in a global variable called 'loginname'  - but i was wrong! - ive been wrestling with the SQL syntax in the query but can only get it to work by having the query to prompt me for the name, which is no use because it al ...Show All

• Windows Forms Include the parent control when a child is cut / copied and pasted.

  Hi all, This is the final step in what became a rather involved process. The big picture is that I need to present a container control at design-time which does NOT clip its children. So yeah, I want for instance a child button control to be able to draw beyond its parent's bounds. I've gotten it to work by implementing an "envelope / hub" mechanism, where the hub is the above-mentioned container, and the envelope is its parent, another container which sizes itself to envelop the hub. When the user needs to "float" (ie. un-clip) the child button, it gets re-parented to the envelope and now has free reign to paint over the hub's bounds. All that to say, I have one final problem: when the hub is cut to clipboard, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS SCC Command Line Checkin attach a WorkItem?

• Visual Basic Generating Identity ID (integer value)

  Hi all, I known that, in is vb.net generating a GUID value by method Guid.NewGuid() is Unique. So to be generating a integer value i coded below: dim UniqueID as Integer =Guid.NewGuid.ToString.GetHashCode() I thing that UniqueID is Unique but i'm not sure, Anyone can Affirm that UniqueID is alway unique It is not. An integer can hold "only" 4 billion distinct values. Hashing is a way to map a unique value to a non-unique but denser, evenly distributed value. Two distinct values may thus easily (but not usually) produce the same hash. ...Show All
