• Visual Studio Express Editions Running an application on a server 2003 Thin Client - errors

  Hi folks, boy, do I hope one of you can help me out here.. I ran a test to find out if the application I am working on, also runs on a server with windows 2003. I access that server through a terminal (thin client). I developed the application on a windows XP machine, and it runs without a hitch on all kins of stand-alone systems. However, if I run it via the thin client I get the following error: Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the system security policy. To grant this application the required permission, contact your system administrator, or use the Microsoft .NET Framework configuration tool. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and atte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Still Performance Problems

  Hi, after solving most of the performance problems in CTP5-Refresh and CTP-6 I still got performance problems when I change some central views. Example: I have one view Patient_View which is used in let’s say 100 other views. If I now change the PATIENT_View it takes about 3 hours at 100% CPU to actualize (or whatever) the database or the project. I think it is the same problem we had in CTP-3,4 when loading the project alone took this long. Can you please do some optimizations on this dependency check, recompile code because this is a showstopper to us if we have to wait 3 hours just because we changed some central Views. Sometimes when it takes so long we also get the error message "Failed to retrieve msbuild property DB ...Show All

• SQL Server Foreach endless loop

  I'm having a problem where I'm using a Execute SQL Task to retrieve a dataset and storing that in an object variable. Then on success of that execute sql task I use a foreach loop task to go through the dataset and do 2 tasks inside the foreach loop. When I execute this package I have ~12 records in the dataset however when I get to the foreach loop in the 2nd iteration it keeps repeating it. It acts like it is stuck on the second record (tuple) and never goes on. I'm using an ForEach ADO Enumerator in the foreach. I've even set a breakpoint on each iteration and no task fails in side the foreach loop. I'm completely perplexed why it will iterate to the 2nd record but get stuck there in an endless loop. I've tried this on 2 different compu ...Show All

• Windows Forms Setting the DataGridView columns

  Hi friends, I have many datagrids in my application. So wat i want to do is to have a common grid which takes care of setting all the styles and the required columns and their widths,dynamically.
